Unlike the world, I like Naomi’s dress. 😂 If anyone can pull it off, it’s her. I want someone to hold down French Vogue and wax her eyebrows. Those things look like tree trunks. Martha should have gone last episode. Imagine being considered for this show and realizing that sequined safety pin made it over you. Gingham for couture? Totally out of her league. I love the idea of seamstresses, but wish they could have at least video chats with them. If it’s a language issue, get a translator. I love how they can go back to the fabric store, that always bothered me on PR. The music sucks. Are they trying cross promotion with AmazonMusic? Or just trying to annoy the audience? I’m not tuning to put on closed captioning.

Is she peeing? Hailing a cab? Showing off her bikini wax?

I need Michelle to go. Preferably next week. Yul and his cheekbones need to stay. Redemption is going to get crowded. I love how Tyson was all “rock = pb, Hand over the snacks”. Denise, you are a rock star. But she wasted an idol, so not smart there. Totally agree with being cheated out of Rob and Ambuh being reunited. I want to know what she said to him when he got there!

A 10 piece collection and the winner not only repeated a gown, but sent it down the runway in sequence? Yep, whatever. I'm sick of Billie Eilish, her music, her fashion, and her hair, so if that's what they think his collection represents, hard pass. They probably gave it to him so he wouldn't cry. And is he really going to take the mentorship to heart? The only reason his models didn't have studs on their faces is he FORGOT to pack that bag. Underwhelmed here by the winner, the rolling tire that was the final piece and his giant gauges.

Has Meredith EVER looked good in a team photo? Either the smile is off, or the face is square, or she looks awkward. Must be stunning in person, but the DCC camera is not her friend.

Nancy has been my favorite for weeks, and her giving fruit gummies to the models was hysterical. I agree that the suit needed a modern makeup and hair look. That suit with a high pony and classic red lip would have worked. DD just rocks every look. Would have loved to see a lighter color on the disabled model. Call in a brain MRI for me, I liked Victoria’s collection. Well, except for the logo and piles of accessories. And that glitter jumpsuit is something the judges would have gushed over before this week. Ahh, Sergio. Loved how the judges told him to pick a flipping cause and stay with it. I loved the dress, hated the lingerie, and already forgot the second look. He needs to go Bjork levels of edgy with it all. Geoffry needs this more than life itself. He’ll die if he doesn’t get it. Last chance ever. So, instead he doesn’t fabric shop OR create anything while laid up with a leg injury and working on a Disney films? Pick a lane and stop dressing like a reject from the Village People. I loved his looks a few times, but this was all kinds of hideous. And enough with the feathers. His models looked like Big Bird goes to Studio 54.

Hi Amber’s boobs and new hair. Good to see she’s still um feisty? Barnett was either bored or whipped. He spent a lot of time staring into space. Lauren and Cameron continue to be the breakout stars here. Normal, drama free, producers struck gold there. Mark knew Jessica was saying “no”. He’d agreed to say “no” too. I respect Kelly and Kenny for both owning up to it. Too bad Mark didn’t. Guess poor love struck victim was his role to play. Carlton remains an idiot. He ambushed Diamond with his secret. And was hostile to her before that. Why he’s still allowed to play the wronged party here, I don’t know. Actor and Instagrammer, yawn.

I was thinking Kelly and Kenny were a 'yes', so I watched that. Amber and Barnett annoyed me, so I skipped through everything until the doors opened. Everytime I paused, I swear they were saying the same things, so I didn't seem to be missing anything. That Mark and Jessica trainwreck - skipped most of it. She reminded me of someone being sprung from prison bolting for the front door. And I honestly skipped most of Cameron and Lauren because it seemed to drag on for hours. Post show, I think Cam and Lauren seem to have the most solid foundation to grow from, but B & A were growing on me. Those two might just make it for a few years/decades/lifetimes.

I binged this in 2 nights. It was part guilty pleasure, part super invested for me. But, by the end, I just started fast forwarding to the ceremonies. Way too much 'will they/won't they' drama. Rumor that Jessica didn't want to be there was really evident. She wasn't feeling it, and, I'm shallow, but I can't blame her. She's got a career, a life and her second choice. She's not settling. Barnett marrying Amber and her debt was unexpected. Beauty fades, interest grows. Damien was a model? For what? Halloween masks? Whoever said he looked like a Property Brother dipped in toxic waste was spot on. Maybe he was a foot model? Nasty, controlling man with a vapid phone obsessed actress. Ugh. Kelly and Kenny. Yawn. And that book they both loved as a child? Creepy!! "I love you forever". Nice sentiment, but the mom keeps breaking into her son's place as a senior while he sleeps in a twin bed. Lifetime Movie gone wrong. Hi favorite couple. I love you Lauren and Cam. I hope you're together forever. The most real couple there. I want them to make it. Cheesy set, must have bought supplies at Costco. I can see a 'reality tv show' aisle that they shopped in for those wine glasses and rose petals.

The forcing couples together after the pod dating is like a Bachelor in Paradise thing. People are fake engaged. Let them get on with fake living together before the fake maybe marriages in xx days. Was anyone else surprised that Jessica owns the world’s largest wine glasses? Barnett seems happy he dodged that overly drunk overly frosted eyed bullet. This show must have spent more on alcohol than apartment budgets.

Why is Mark always carrying a guitar around? Why does Jessica’s voice always drop an octave when she isn’t turned on by a guy? It dropped when she told Mark “nope”. Poor Diamond. She deserves so much more than Mr. Passive Aggressive, truth hiding, Hugh Hefner wanna be crap dresser. Barnett’s nose zit needs to be popped. Either he and Amber are going to be together 60 years or 3 weeks, not sure which.

Why is Victoria still there?!? There was nothing about her season that tells me her client isn’t a hooker. Sergio needs to shut up and sew. That skirt was insane, the tailoring amazing, and then he opened his mouth. Ugh. Nancy has been my favorite for awhile. Thank you Elaine for championing her. Geoffrey could win this if he gets out of his head and starts believing in himself. Bye Brittany. You squeaked by for some reason and didn’t deserve the save. Marquis went far as self taught. But that winning tuxedo look on the replacement model was just all kinds of wrong. He’s lucky he had the original model that challenge. Second rate model looked like crap in it.

They didn’t own a home, and still don’t? The city donated the land for as long as they want to live there? How does property tax get figured out? I’m really hating the product placement in this show. “Hand me that name brand paint.” “Let’s bring in the Best Buy expert, who’s sitting near the Wayfair box.”

Is it possible that Geoffrey’s dress realized how horrible it looked and begged the iron to set it on fire? ☠️ (sarcasm) (maybe)

Anyone who has time to make themselves a shirt, but not line a top can go. I call bs on Victoria getting a client with her tight and tacky aesthetic. Sergio, you are not as awesome as you think you are. Thankful that there were no political statements this week. I wonder if Nancy fessed up but they cut it? She really didn’t know it was her in the workroom. Loved her multi piece outfit. Her athlete even had a matching piece in her hair. Geoff, the iron didn’t ruin your dress, you did. It was badly fitting and a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.

She must be a better actress than singer? Can not stand Chrissy Metz, her sappy show, or that sappy movie she was in. What a waste of the Oscar song spot.

I have a 13 1/2 year old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier laying around my feet looking for leftovers. I bought him from a pet store. We had a rescue German Shepherd who had hip dysplasia and then seizures from her meds. She was loyal, perfect, and it broke my 10 year old son’s heart when she had to be put down at 8. I checked with several rescues, including ones we’d adopted from before. Our original rescues didn’t have what we were looking for, my son wanted a younger dog, no health issues. Turned down by everyone else because my son was “too young”, or because we didn’t have a fenced yard, or because I worked outside of the home. 🙄 Two weeks of rejection from all over the area, and that was when calls were returned. Some rescues wanted a deposit just to talk to me! One night my son came out of his room in tears asking why he couldn’t have a new best friend. We went to the store the next day and bought this dog. Son picked him. It was like cartoon hearts coming out of both their eyes. I wanted a girl Shepherd, this is the total opposite. He’d been bought for a client, but they decided they didn’t want him. Marked down half price. Tons of skin issues, ear infections, 6 months old, living in a 4 square foot space with wood chips for 4 months . He’d been bought once and returned. The rescues that rejected us missed out on the life we could have given their strays. And last night’s show with Crewe made me cry. They were so happy to get him.

Fuck. That whining witch is still there. And Brittany too. A few weeks ago she swore she was always the center of attention as a child and now she had a rough childhood? Pick one. Christian disappointed me with the save. At top 7, she should have her shit together. Victoria gave her model hips and the cut on the waist was weird and bunchy. Not excited by her being back in the top. Sergio is going to preach about the awesome 50’s where the man worked, the womenfolk cooked, and gay people like him would have been shunned. And let’s not even get into civil rights or the way other minorities were treated. Idiot.

What does Victoria have on the judges? She does the bondage cutout too tight same design every week. And how many challenges in a row has she ignored the instructions? Ugh. I liked Sergio’s design, but that pube fringe was wrong on all levels. Guest judge was useless except when she called out the Moldova Mess. I’d auf anyone who said they spent 90 minutes sulking.

He’s not? Could have fooled me with that Talking Heads Bowie rip-off performance. I’m not sure what vibe they were going for with Usher, stripper tribute maybe?

I taped the Philly station. We got 90 minutes of coverage at Kobe’s old night school, interviews with people whose father played hs bb with him, shots of flowers, a jersey and basketball outside a gym, and shots of people taking cell photos outside the gym. No top 6 men at all. It’s a tragedy and my heart breaks for his family. None of that coverage was breaking news.

Catching up with episodes this weekend. The dog fighting pups were so sad. Caught the first Earl episode yesterday, he’s come a long way. Johnny Wobbles, I remember him from a few years ago. Kills me how there are so many pups there, the 2 older dogs the couple considered, there’s so few people out there looking for seniors. Not surprised Frank washed out. No family in the area. Feel bad for his son. 13 is too young to be trying to get your dad employed and telling him to not blow it. Glad they’re spotlighting Toney again. Guy had a rough few years with the accusations against him. He’s been in the background in a few shots, but no interviews or talking heads.

So, Sergio’s client is a 40 something rich woman interested in political statement couture? Sure. I had no idea who Ashley was, but she was a blast. Brittany winning could have been a cool moment for her, but she’s too openly annoying about being the most extra extra that ever existed. Dayoung gave props to Victoria on the runway for helping her. That was sweet and totally something Sergio didn’t do the prior week. Poor girl looked really pale. Vic wasn’t going home, but glad the judges are recognizing her coasting on the same cutouts. There’s a “signature style” and there’s a one way monkey (tm Dimitri). I think she was mad at herself more than being a brat. And when some people get mad at themselves, they need time alone, hard to do in a fishbowl.

How and when did Bjorn fall in love with nameless groupie (yes, I know it’s Ingrid)? Gunnhild gave a speech that rallied Kattegat to Bjorn and he leaves to go to the hut of shame with what’s her name? I’d castrate the guy and walk. I guess she got hit in the head during the battle for Lagertha’s village, because nothing else makes sense. Glad Ubbe and Torvi noped out of Kattegat. Floki’s land of doom is probably a better place to be than home. Will Floki be popping out of the volcano as a changed man? Or will Viking Edge become king? When Ivar is the nicest guy in the place, there’s something very wrong. I loved the visual of the broken king carrying the broken puppet king. They should stop giving us flashbacks to Ragnar. Travis just killed every scene he was in.

Binged this yesterday and could not stop. I was like a meme. Went from “I’ll give it 20 minutes“ to “Monica, put Jerry on that damned mat” by the end of the first episode. 😂 Just so freaking good. PS, Gabi, I know you love those people, but damn, sever the umbilical cord and stop being your family’s cash cow.
