I can't even lie, I totally want a car that will drive for me, but more importantly I want a self driving car for everyone else. Driving sucks monkey balls, and a lot of people really stink at it. Although I find it interesting that Infiniti won't just run an ad of the guy in the car texting, instead he is just thinking random thoughts I think everyday while I'm driving. Can some people not drive and think about whether or not they left the garage door open?

Yes, but just knowing and showcasing the basics makes for a boring runway. The newer techniques the designers try to showcase seem to be beyond the basics, and those are what make for those "aha!" moments, IMO. But, because they are new, and not something the designers have done over and over, they take longer to execute (Sandaya's knitting thing). This is the problem, it used to be that the designers aimed to wow, and if they screwed the kitty in day one, after taking a lot of time on a newer technique, then they could go back and simply aim for safe on day two. Now they only have one day, and it doesn't make sense for them to aim to wow, now they are just aiming for basic competence and to be safe. Agree. They have to cast personalities, and they need the villain, so they have to cast a certain percentage of the contestants as those that will give them the drama. They have to cast some cannon fodder, so we don't get super invested or attached to those people. But then they should cast some real hardcore talent, the designers that are going to make things that make my head spin. I feel like this season either they haven't cast the last group (although I still love Fade), or because of the early time constraints people got let go early, but they were super talented.

This. Its not so much that she is clueless, its her pompous arrogant behavior in light of the fact that she is clueless, she has done nothing to deserve her spot on the team, and even though Red is the only reason she is there, she can never quite seem to scrape up any gratitude when he...for a 10 millionth time....saves her ass, or somehow ends up putting pieces in place to solve her case. She continues to act like a pompous ass. The one time I genuinely smiled in this episode was when Lizzie was called in by Cooper and you could tell she was burning to drop a dime on Ressler, and Cooper said the psychologist thought she had the problem. One of the more enjoyable "whomp, whomp" moments. And strangely I think its that same attitude she may have in real life if she is saying that James Spader "respects her work, and seeks her out." Her "career" includes having a supporting role in "Step Up: Revolution", "Sex and the City 2" and a DA in 7 episodes "Law and Order: LA." Considering how meager her body of work is compared to Spader's, its arrogant to even suggest that he seeks her out because he has such a wild level of respect for her work. It would make sense that he seeks out someone who has a greater body of work, or even a more illustrious body of work than he does. If he was on a show with Forest Whitaker, Terrance Howard, Viola Davis, Morgan Freeman, or Whoopi Goldberg, the statement would make some sense. Although, I think even those people have the humility to not sit around suggesting that someone seeks them out because their body of work is deserving of such respect. Her "work" is not the reason people are tuning in to see the show, its Spader. This is why she is not featured in most of the advertisements I've seen for the show, because she just isn't that interesting.

I don't think she is ugly per se, but the gap in the teeth is not considered traditionally pretty. I would expect traditionally pretty for a mascara commercial.It seems the same for putting a plus size model in these types of commercials, even though many plus size models are gorgeous. Certainly the gap in the teeth makes her look more interesting, and less bland, but makeup commercials always seem to try to feature the woman that young girls want to be, and not many girls want a gap in their front teeth. Even if it means they are the daughter of rock n' roll royalty. Unless maybe times have changed, and gaps in front teeth have become the thing.

Well, you read what Megan said, James Spader really respects her work, and seeks her out. He is probably fighting for her to get more camera time.

You should watch the last 15 minutes, I bet she comes around in the end and realizes that all you need in life are your dreams, and that they can save the community center after all, and that the precocious kid who makes the snappy comments is really a math genius AND an amazing dancer. I can almost hear the internal dialouge now "I'm sad, right? mouth turn down, eyes scrunch....thats it Megan, you are really doing sad now! Oh shit, this line I'm angry? okay mouth, time to go to frowny line! eyes to slits! yes Megan, look at you giving them angry!"

I wonder which portion of her wide filmography he respects? Her riveting performance as Claire in Step Up: Revolution or her tour de force as Allie in Sex and the City 2? Or maybe it was those 7 captivating episodes of Law and Order: LA where she played the DA? Maybe its all perfectly innocent, but it seems a bit presumptuous to tell a reporter, or in this case many reporters that a seasoned actor seeks you out, because he respects your work. Especially when it seems widely acknowledged that that is the actor carrying the show. I have seen no billboards with Megan Boone promoting Blacklist, they are all James Spader. It would seem more reasonable to say that she seeks him out because she respects his work. I mean, if he was really all that into those 2 episodes of Bluebloods you were in, I'm sure he would let reporters know. Although I certainly agree, that his answer seemed like the kindest insult one person can give another.

sounds like that time they tried to have clear coke. yes, I knew it was coke, but just clear, but it was just wrong.....so wrong....

oh ewww, the very thought of thick, black water. blerf.

35% Spader and 65% FBI plot of the weak. Heh. Did the article say why he hates working with her? I just wonder if its personal or he just thinks she is a terrible actress.

I agree with you, and I think to some degree they do prepare, but they all just shoot to be safe now, and that doesn't make for an exciting runway. I mean, I don't sew, but I would think that even if you practiced a new technique, or something exciting, given the parameters of the challenge you wouldn't even want to try it on a one day challenge. Sandaya and that corn cob dress (the challenge Char had gotten eliminated on). She kept saying it was super awesome, but she had to know that looked like a mess, but it took her like most of her one day to make it, and she was using some new technique she had learned. But that technique wasn't something that could go super fast, and she spent a whole day on it and it looked weird. Now, 2 day challenge, you could spend a day doing some new technique that was interesting, and figure out by the end of the day that it wasn't going to work, and on day two you would be putting together something new that was at least reasonable. Some of those techniques, I think would be great to see, but I think you need more than a day to do something of them.

I just saw a few bottles at Whole Foods the other day. You could have knocked me over with a feather, I had assumed BLK had just folded. Of course I didn't buy any, the concept of black water, or supporting any of the people associated with that venture makes me nauseous. I don't want my money funding Jacqueline's addiction to plastic surgery.

damn pinwheels.

Allright, I know someone else has to be watching this show besides me. Although, because none of my friends and/or family watches, I'm going to share all of my thoughts with you all :) 1. These girls have awfully high opinions of themselves, and I don't understand why - Camilla saying that people name their kids after her. Really? Would you name you child after a girl who has anger management problems, and prides herself on being able to fight? 2. Sarah - this girl is as dumb as a box of rocks if she thinks kissing up to Natalie Nunn is going to get her free plastic surgery. A good plastic surgeon doesn't do free work for anyone, not even top name celebrities. Any plastic surgeon that is giving Natalie Nunn free work is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. I am almost positive she is making that up, and if she isn't, the plastic surgeon has to be awful. Because frankly, Natalie looks awful, what plastic surgeon wants to take credit for how she looks? 2b. Sarah - I also call BS on her whole explanation of the Mistresses of Atlanta thing. What she said was that black men don't like black women, that statement doesn't make sense if she was just talking about her ex-boyfriend. The statement wouldn't have been "black men don't like black women, because" it would have been "my boyfriend doesn't like black women because...." unless her boyfriend said he was speaking for all black men, but I don't think so. 3. Camilla - having said that, I don't at all think Camilla's beef with Sarah is that she said that. I think that she is upset that Sarah is kissing up to Natalie, and Camilla wants to run the house, she doesn't want natalie to do it. 4. Judi - something is wrong with that girl. Although I call BS on Julie getting in a huff because Judi said "bitch", the second Julie was like "did you call me a bitch?" Judi was like "no, I want to explain...." I just think Julie doesn't want to have to be stuck with Judi, because Judi seems like a lot of work, and like you gotta pay her a lot of attention if you want to be her friend. I hope she gets some help for her issues with liquor. Of course it appears as though the dumb ass life coach is going to focus on her being a mental case, and maybe she is, but the most immediate mental issue she appears to have is her dependence on liquor. If someone is always drunk you probably can't even make a real assessment of their personality. If these girls think she has a serious issue with liquor and if they are her friend then they need to have an intervention. but if they just see a weak girl who they can pick on and use her drinking as the reason for picking on her thats fucked up. I also call BS on Danni and Julie for kicking Judi out of their room. I know that Judi put her hands on Danni, but she didn't do that in any way that was aggressive, she literally put her hand on Danni to keep her back. And then of course Redd has to get herself involved so she can get some early attention. Insert eye roll.

Honestly - the premise of this episode seemed odd to me. Not for nothing, but this seemed like a needlessly complex operation. For one, who would agree to pay $500k a year for an organ? It would make more sense to pay a million, two million or whatever, outright for the organ, why "rent" them if they can't be reused? It just doesn't make sense, "renting" organs means that you have to incur the extra expense/exposure of potentially having to get them back. and then what are you going to do with it once you get it back. It's like renting someone running shoes for $20 per month, what in the world are you going to do with those shoes when I return them in 6 months, resell them? After I've run down the tread on the shoe? And never mind the strange business model, but thats a million dollars every 2 years. I know that other countries have very relaxed organ donor laws, so why not take your $2 million dollars there and buy yourself an organ? I mean, especially if you're a bad guy with no morals. You think there aren't other doctors in other countries that can do transplants?

The whole placement of her in a Rimmel commercial seems odd. I always assumed that girls like that kept the gap in their teeth because they thought it would be good for something "editorial" or that they didn't just want to be "pretty" or they wanted to look more artsy. I would think you would want a traditional pretty girl in a Rimmel London mascara commercial. Its like Rimmel is just fucking with us, because at some point they pretty much focus in on those teeth, and they seem to script the commercial for maximum tooth exposure.

Thats always been my theory. As I remember it, 2 day challenges were the norm, and every once in a while they had a 3 day challenge. And every once in a great while there was a 1 day challenge. At some point, it all became 1 day challenges, and I think thats were a lot of the problems come in. Designers used to take more risks because with a 2 day challenge if you took a risk, and fucked it up, you at least had a day to fix it. But now, no one wants to take a risk, because they will have like 20 minutes to fix it if they fuck it up. And so I think it makes it easier for them to fall back on what they know (giant ruffles, fringe, motorcycle jackets) because if they try anything outside of their box its hard to fix. For this season, I have to wonder if some of the designers eliminated early would have shown better work if given more than a day for their challenge.

exactly. My biggest beef with PR is them messing with the runway show. I like drama in my reality TV, but ultimately with shows like Top Chef and Project Runway, I'm there to see the final dish, and to see the runway show. If I just wanted drama, I could go watch RHONJ, or anything else Bravo has to offer. But I want to see that beautiful, delicious dish at the end of Top Chef, and I want to see those beautiful outfits on the runway on PR. And I think thats what PR has been doing. I don't even mind certain designers being cannon fodder, some being there to be the villain/cause conflict, and there to be real super talented designers. But at this point, we should be getting down to the super duper talented designers, and I am slightly worried that these designers are the best designers of this season, not because they are bad per se (I like Kini, I enjoy some of Emily and Sean's stuff), but because they just don't seem like the best. They aren't bad, but when I say...the best, I mean the Seth Aarons, the Emilio Sosa's, the Austin Scarlett's (I loved his stuff)....that should be the caliber of designer in the competition at this point.

I certainly believe you, I just don't watch a lot of TV. And right now a lot of the TV I watch is reality TV, which, interestingly enough features a number of women who discover, announce or whatever the right word would be, that they are are sexually interested in women through the shows (I'm thinking of Bad Girls Club, and Love and Hip Hop Atlanta). I see your point, and I can understand why it would be offensive. I feel like most gay men I've seen on TV have been funny, fierce and fabulous, which is a stereotype that comes with its own set of problems. I mean, can a guy ever be gay without spending hours at the gym, and knowing which color goes with which?

I'm just curious, and I mean no snark. But I think the writers decided that Campbell needed to have a close relationship with someone in the town. He already had his posse of men, and so there really didn't seem to be much reason for him to seek out another male friend. Except maybe for Cullen, who is really not interested in him. All the other male power players are aligned with Durant, or their interests are best served by being loyal to Durant. Thats why I think thats why it was a romantic relationship. There are so few women on the show, and Campbell seems to have the sort of ego that wouldn't allow him to confide in/have a real relationship with one of the hookers. I think he would see them as beneath him. So, my only question is, given that the writers wanted Campbell to have a close relationship with someone in the town, how else would you have envisioned that happening? * I had truly never noticed that with lesbians on TV, but maybe I just haven't seen enough, it does sound insulting though.

Oh, I'm sure they will have her back for an "All-Stars" or as a contestant magically "brought back" by some producer machination. But I would think more likely an "All-Stars" because I don't know that I would believe anyone really voted for her to come back, and because they will want to cast her with some drama partner from her season like Sandaya or Char. Even all stars needs a villain......ugh Helen.

I thought the good organs came from the ME when someone would die, but the death was such that the organs could still be harvested and used. I thought that was adorable. I like them together. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BTW - am I the only one amused that the psychologist has problems with Lizzie going back to work? That wiped the look of smug superiority right off her snotty little face.

It is to me, I was binge watching Criminal Minds and that was the first and only place I had ever heard the term. And I've watched all the Law and Orders, CSI (well, only Vegas, I can't with David Caruso), and countless other law based shows. And until criminal minds I had never heard the term. And it sounded super clunky. I was used to "suspect" or "the guy" I had no idea there was a show about it earlier, so I had thought "unsub" was a new trend started by criminal minds and that writers were trying to make happen with the blacklist. I think it sounds strange and clunky, and many times in criminal minds they would have to incorporate an explanation of what "unsub" meant into the program. Now I have heard of whippersnapper and Led Zepplin, so I'm not sure how I feel about myself right now :)

This damn show! 1. Nikki - are you really proud that you don't use condoms with Mally-Mal? You sound like a moron, that man is clearly fucking anything he can get his hands on, and you have no idea what sort of funky ass diseases he is carrying. And how stupid is he? She is not a pretty girl, and I can see her trying to get pregnant. 1b - Nikki - I like that she refused to let the show use pictures of her pre-surgery. But seriously, she must have looks awful before surgery, because she is not attractive AT ALL, imo post surgery. She looks like a cartoon, and not even a pretty one like Jessica Rabbit, she looks like those caricatures they sketch of you at Magic Mountain. 1c. Nikki - and can she stop fucking talking about that ring? She keeps acting like it gives her some magical power, a promise ring is what men will do to shut girls like you up. 2. Mally-Mal - I'm gonna suggest you take a look at Nikki's mom, if you're ready to be married to that in 20+ years, then by all means, settle down. Well, that + a shitload of plastic surgery. 3. Young Berg - there is something wrong with him, his face is too big for his body. He is funny looking. 4. Hazel E - totally cosign with the poster above who said that Young Berg has told her in 20 different ways that he is not ready to settle down. And frankly, it seems like none of these guys are, until their careers have stopped being hot. He is not going to be your man, and I actually feel so sorry for her, because I know what its like to want something so bad. But he is making a fool of you on national TV...just stop. You may not be a pretty girl, but you deserve better. And on another note, I'm really gonna need for you to start wearing Spanx, get a trainer, or stop wearing super form fitting dresses. 5. Omarion's mother - doesn't she work? can't she get disability if she has seizures? Has she not heard about ObamaCare? I'm not sure why she needs to be this dependent on Omarion, and I think she just likes to be able to guilt him. What she said to Apryl at that shower was truly inappropriate. For one, just because YOU had a baby at 16 and weren't ready to be a mother doesn't mean that Apryl isn't. And don't get mad because you got yourself into an awful situation being pregnant at 16 without a man around, thats not Apryl's fault. From where I sit she has taken steps to be far more ready for motherhood than you did, so who are you to judge? And to feel the need to say that at someone's baby shower? I'm sorry, I know she is trying to be Momma Dee, but she doesn't have the charm for it.
