Yes, Caleb is ruined. Is running off his MO when the conversation doesn't go his way? I used to love that character so much... Spencer going all moony over him ruins her for me, too. At least when she was all depressed over Toby, it was because A) She was in high school, and B) She thought he was dead. And Hanna, dammit, should have been honest from the jump and we wouldn't have this stupid triangle at all.

I ain't mad about it... Derrick was overdue for leaving, but at least we got to see both his nasty shady side (which Acid Betty spoke of) and his softer side. He really can't paint eyebrows, though...those looked dreadful! I thought they might put Bob in the bottom two just as a shake-up, but honestly, she deserved it. Not that she was so bad, but Chi Chi did well, Naomi looked amazing (and Derrick is full of crap...she has shown some real talent!), and Kim Chi was awesome. There is a lot of talent this season, and I wouldn't hate any of them winning.

What will it take to get rid of Isaac as a judge?! I used to just adore Isaac Mizrahi, even when I knew he was a prima donna and a bitch. I still love his "Fabulous" cologne, which is as close as I'd even WANT to get to any of his "designs" these days, but good Lord, does he judge with his genitals or what?!?? There is no way even Isaac-of-questionable-taste could have honestly thought Sam's (and I use this term loosely) "garment" was great! Bullshit. It wasn't beautifully constructed (I forget which judge said that), it wasn't remotely avant garde, it was ugly, and the rainbow flag was not only a cliché, it was pandering to Isaac and Boy George..."Vote for me! We are family!" I don't care if Ken did hurt Sam's feelings. Sam's a nasty little shit and deserves every bit of it. And for the record, I never ever thought I could or would side with Ken on anything. I'll watch next week to see my beloved Dmitri. I could eat him with a spoon, he's so delectable. But of course King Mondo will be back, too, to reunite with his darling Sam...maybe I'll just record it. I feel like "Project Runway" (all versions) is my abusive ex. I keep thinking it's not going to be bad, look, there's a glimmer of hope, a flash of glory days...and then nope, it all goes to crap. But I keep staying, waiting for things to improve, because I can't forget how great it was when it was good... Sigh.

Aaaaahhhhhhh. That? Was a thing of BEAUTY!! Aubry has been my favorite for weeks now, so I'm happy to see her getting some appreciation. Tai turns from the dark side, Aubry kicks ass, Scot is gone, and Jason's idol is, too. I just feel...completely satisfied. I don't smoke, either, but I get it: the urge to light up as I fall back on my pillow with a satisfied smile is strong!

Oh, I knew it! I knew my adorable Thorgy wasn't going to win, but I really hoped she'd last longer than she did! At this point, it feels like an inevitable Bob the Drag Queen coronation, and I'm a touch bored. She's very, very good, but if you eliminate all her competition early on, the show isn't much fun...

I don't think you're nuts...I thought her hair looked great.

Come on...at this point, it's very clear that the flats are Sam's signal to Isaac: "This is my garment, score it high!" It was tacky, it was odd, it was not edgy or sophisticated or cool in any way, yet it was in the top?! I liked Kini's disco banana genie pants!

I hate to say it, but I am beginning to find Bob really exhausting. I can't imagine having to be around that much energy in a working environment. My own boss is super perky and talkative, and some mornings I want to strangle her. I think Derrick is out of her depth here. I feel for her, to a degree. And I can't help but feel that Acid Betty was eliminated last week precisely because she WOULD have slayed this week's challenge. Ru isn't willing to let go of ChiChi, Naomi, or Derrick quite yet, and there was an off chance that Robbie would do well, forcing Ru to eliminate someone whose story isn't over yet. Let's be real...AB's Nancy Grace was dreadful, but no worse than most of the other queen's characters. She should still be in it. But don't mind me...I'm still bitter about Katya!!!

That was highly satisfying. I kind of wish it had been Jason just because I really, really can't stand him at all, but Nick deserved it and Jason can wait. I start to almost like Scot, and then he reminds me of what a douche he is by opening his stupid mouth, so yeah...he can go right after Jason.

I suspected she was nicer than her first impression. Thanks for the link!

It's like my mother always told me, "You only get one chance to make a good first impression." And sometimes, that first impression is enough for people to continue to think one way of you, despite what you may show them afterwards. I suspect Acid Betty tends to make a poor first impression, and since she does seem to be pretty abrasive, and her ex is ALLEGEDLY online posting that AB is physically abusive, as well, it's a perfect storm of hostility brewing there. I think Bianca has a certain level of charm that Acid Betty seems to lack. Contrast Bianca's dislike of Laganja, which was mostly rolled eyes, "stealing her moment" during "Untucked", and calling her out on her affectations (pretty mild and not terribly offensive) to Acid Betty rolling her eyes at the past winners of the show ("wannabe queens") and interrupting Kim Chi's video from Trixie Mattel by blurting out how ugly Trixie is and telling Kim to fix Trixie's make-up (nasty). I think Bianca knows how to read the crowd better than Acid Betty does. But I like Acid Betty. I loved her runway looks, I thought she was doing really well in challenges up until this week, and I frankly prefer her personality to Pearl's "flah-zee-dah " laziness. I'm going to miss her on the show, and I think if Bob and Thorgy truly were that upset to see her go, then she may have already found a friend or two, and some queens that wouldn't mind working with her. I hope she does well post-show. And I just have to add, I absolutely ADORE Thorgy. I would love it if she won, but I think she has that sweetheart personality that just screams "Miss Congeniality" like Katya or DeLa. I hope I'm wrong, but if not, well...look at how much work Katya is doing now. Miss Congeniality is not the death sentence of a queen's career! **Edited because I CAN spell.

They're really hammering us over the head with this Bob vs. Thorgy narrative, and I refuse to get sucked in. I love them both. Acid Betty's elimination was pretty anti-climatic after all the rumors swirling around. But I'm glad. She may be a total bitch IRL, but she came across...for the most part...as an okay person on the show. Lots of eye-rolling and shade, sure, but that's okay. I didn't find her as hateful as Phi Phi O'Hara or even Darienne Lake, in all honesty...and her runways were always so amazing! I'm actually going to miss her. Derrick is gorgeous as Britney. But he brings absolutely nothing else to the table, as far as I can see. If he goes next week, it'll be fine. Bob kind of screwed Naomi over by mentioning Whoopi and then not doing it. I know he's not responsible for Naomi's decision to abandon Whoopi, but I would have loved to see Miss Celie "You sho' is ugly!" done by the beautiful Naomi. I think she could have made it funny...she's actually delivered on almost every challenge up until this one. I'm kind of bored by Kim Chi at this point, although that WAS an amazing kimono.

The Spoiler-tagged boot is who I heard as well, although I heard different reasons. Can't wait to see what goes down.

It was interesting hearing Alyssa be the voice of reason this week. She didn't actually like much of anything, and to be honest, I was right there with her. I hated the stripe pattern on Dom's skirt, it was very beach towel-ish and I hate those colors together. Kudos to her for making all those stripes, but it was ugly. Ken's didn't seem very resort-like to me, Sam's was boring and cheap-looking, both jumpsuits were ugly, Kini's was a lace bathrobe, Emily's was WTF, Asha's was poorly fitted (and grey?! Who chose grey?!), etc. etc. The only thing I liked was Alexander's, and the top of Dom's. And here's Isaac proclaiming how fantastic they all did and what stars they all are!! No.

When Thorgy was talking about losing her mom, I wanted to hug her. I lost my own mother to cancer when I was 15, during the height of our love/hate period, and it still smarts, over 40 years later. (Yes, I'm that old!) Thorgy is quickly becoming one of my favorites from this group, she's just truly talented. I just don't really love her runways yet. Bob cracks me the hell up, and she killed that challenge! I, too, love the purse becoming a running gag. Chi Chi is pretty terrific for a broke-ass thrift queen. This season has a lot of real talent and I am loving it!! Oh, and Robbie Turner killed the LSFYL by doing it roller disco style...no way was anyone beating that!

Good! Because he's been my personal favorite since the start.*Edited because my iPad is acting the fool!

I didn't hear and I want to know!

Well, I guess I can at least thank the judges for Sam NOT winning and Mitchell NOT staying, otherwise I'd have been shopping for a new TV tomorrow. I was really ready to throw something at the television if the outcome had been different. When are these people going to stop helping Sam?! He never acknowledges any of them when the judges are falling all over themselves at his brilliance and skills. Let him fail, FFS!

I hope they aren't bringing back a queen to compete. I feel like there are so many strong queens in this bunch that almost anyone they brought back would feel wrong to me. If I previously loved them (Katya, Alaska, Detox, etc.), I'm going to have a hard time wanting them to do better than Bob, who I also love...and who hasn't had her turn to compete yet. But I'm also going to want them to nail it. If I previously disliked them (sorry 'bout it, Willam, Trixie) I'll be really pissed if they go far. So I really don't want them to bring someone from a previous season back...save that for All Stars. Michelle looks amazing tonight! And that was the worst,..the absolute bottom of the barrel worst...LSFYL ever. Wow, that was just every damned level of suck.

Ugh. I think I'm hate watching at this point... I think Sam is a weak designer and his flirting is just not cute in any way. He irritates the hell out of me, and I just know we'll be saddled with him until the finale. I don't think I'll be able to last that long. He is smug when he's winning, and petulant when he isn't...he reminds me of a preschooler. I tuned into this season only for Kini, Fade, and Alexander. Fade is gone (undeservedly, in my opinion), Alexander gets no love (even when he does deserve it, which admittedly, he doesn't always), and although I adore Kini's personality, I have to admit he is a little TOO set in a certain style, and it's one which the judges don't seem to respond very well to. If he doesn't break out of that, it doesn't matter how fast or technically perfect he is, he still won't win. Sadly. Is it insane that I found myself rooting for Mitchell tonight, especially when Sam was struggling with his John Deere plaid coat and that ugly, circa-1980 skirt and sweater?? And I don't even like Mitchell!

I thought that Alecia didn't know about the box. Am I wrong? I remember her walking off, Cydney finding the box, and then Cydney covering it back up in a hurry when Alecia came back. If that's the case, she wouldn't have had any clue to go hide the box, because she had no idea there was one...she'd have likely thought that what was under the tree was a clue to what Jason and Scott found. If she knew about the box and knew there was no way she could hide it in time, hell, why not just take it out and throw it in the ocean?? Better no immunity idol in the tribe than to have it in the hands of someone who clearly hates you and would be thrilled to idol you out. I don't think she'd be able to work out any kind of deal with Jason...he's such an arrogant tool.

One episode in and I'm already wanting to kick Ken, Sam, Asha, and Mitchell to the curb. Dmitry needs to become a regular judge...he knows what he's talking about, and besides all that he's delicious. Daniel, shut up. I love Kini, Fade, and Alexander, and I like Valerie, Layana, and Emily. Dom I seem to remember being a stealth bitch, or am I wrong? Stella is fun...but in small doses for me.

I'm personally Team-Not-Samantha. Her "Tomboy Chic" style does nothing for me, and aside from maybe one jacket this year, I haven't liked anything she's made. I believe she is talented, but her style is not to my taste at all. I felt so sorry for Zachary, even though I was positive Tim would use the save on him. It had to have been heart-wrenching to get so far and lose out, especially to (sorry, but in my opinion it's true) an inferior design. I didn't really love his gown, didn't like the colors or the peplum, but I thought it was better than the alternative for the elimination. Peytie is adorable, and she dresses cute. I see nothing inappropriately sexy about her clothing choices...I work with junior high students who dress far more inappropriately!! I think I have loved every single thing she has ever made, and I just think she seems like a complete sweetheart. Her parents must be so proud of her! She would be my choice for the win 100%, if not for... Maya! Holy cow, what a talent! She has shown a huge variety, with very few missteps. That skirt she made last week, her sportswear outfit, that boning vest this week... She has so many ideas, and she has the drive and the talent to make them happen. You notice in the background when Tim is walking around doing critiques, her head is always down and she is focused and working. She impresses the hell out of me, she really does. I'm all about a Maya or Peytie win, and would be thrilled for either of them to take it. If Zachary wins, it wouldn't be a travesty, because he does have a sophisticated eye and is very talented. If Samantha wins, it won't surprise me, and I don't think it would even bother me because, although I personally dislike her style, plenty of others love it and that's a valid reason for a win...unlike PR's Ashley win, all for the sake of "diversity/inclusion"! (Sorry, I'm still bitter...as a plus-size person myself, I'd never be caught dead in Ashley's clown couture.) As for the judges, I like Hannah Davis. I think she's slightly bland, but I also like that she seems very connected to these kids and takes their feelings to heart. She's no cold fish, that one! Christian Siriano, I just blatantly adore...he seems to really recognize talent, and he also seems really eager to nurture it, offering these kids...who, let's face it, will one day be his competition...help and support. Kelly Osbourne, I'm okay with in small doses. She's not a favorite of mine, but I find her largely inoffensive here. And Aya Kanai has a real reason for being there, and the chops to back it up.
