  1. I watched only the first hour on HBOGo and struggled to get through that much. Winona did nothing for me (sorry, Mark!), even though she was probably my spirit animal at least once during my more impressionable years (Heathers, Beetlejuice).

    Me too.  Not going to watch the rest.

     

    I did crack up when I realized it was Peter Reigert from Animal House under all that beard!

  2. Somebody said last episode, and I thought it was Laurie, that her hem was jagged because she'd dropped her scissors so many times. That made me wonder if the scissors she was using and wouldn't give up were actually hers.

     

    If it was someone else who said that, then I stand corrected.

    The person who had problems with dropped scissors was Gabrielle who was eliminated last episode.

  3. I had a very emotional response to Edmonds dress. It was just so joyous! Intellectually, I could see that Swapnil's was very, very good and slightly more sophisticated in design but I was just drawn to Edmund's. I thought it hit a perfect note.

    I know!  You can see Grace Kelly gliding about in Edmond's dress.  They showed one shot of it before the runway, and I said Wowza!

     

    Lots has  been said but I still don't understand how Candace, as someone who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, could get up there and say that their "girl" was from San Francisco.  The "girl" would freeze!  It rarely gets over 70 degrees and everything they made was sleeveless and flimsy!

     

    I don't mind them calling it the "Girls Team" because they called the other one "The Boys and Merline."  Usually it's the "men" versus the "girls."

  4. It's Drechsel.....probably originally pronounced Drexel.

    The only reason I remember is that the first time he ran this year, there was a line of kids cheering for him and each one had a letter.  D  R  E  C  and I think to myself, dumb kids, they've spelled his name wrong.  So, I looked at the chyron and learned.

     

    I'm waiting for Isaac Caldiero.  Loved Gil with the long flowing locks.

  5. I have an acquaintance who suggested I go to AA meetings to meet men. I'm not an alcoholic.

    My ex husband did AA.  Those meetings are total meat markets.  All the people there are into actually communicating their feelings and helping others.  It's the one place where you are actively discouraged from bottling everything up.  So, people are connecting right and left.

     

    And, because you are supposed to keep coming to meetings after you start recovering, not everyone there is at rock bottom.

     

    On another subject - One of my cousins is really hooked on the coloring books!  Very relaxing apparently.

  6.  

    Madison: Take ALL of the drugs!!! Why are you sifting through them?!?! Even without zombies, you have a sick kid at home!!!

     

     

    I LOVE that the first view of a zombie was by a drug addict making him a very unreliable source.  Gloria is eating people?  Too absurd to believe!  He's clearly high!

     

    The saddest moment for me was seeing the letter from Berkley on Alicia's desk.  All of these hopes and dreams are now completely unrealistic and will never be fulfilled.  

     

    Madison has a junkie at home.  She doesn't want to take too many drugs because he'd just find them and get high.  She wants the lowest dosage to get him through withdrawal.  So, it did make sense.

     

    That letter from Berkeley - the usual hokey.  It would just say University of California.

  7. As a fellow short person, I've always loved Robert's statement: "but I'm huge in Japan!"

    I also love Anthony from the season with Seth Aaron and Emilio. He kept the contestants from all out war the entire season. They showed him trying to get someone else to wake up by hitting them with his Bible, saying: "I will smite you with the word!"

  8. Anyway, I wasn't questioning that there weren't 3½" floppies in '94. I just thought maybe since it looked like he was trading in used computers that he should've been recycling the bigger floppies, but I imagine it might be difficult for the props guys to get them.

    The original Macintosh computers, which came out in 1984, had 3.5" floppies.

  9. Did I imagine that, or was Edmond wearing a head lamp in the work room? Is his other job coal mining?

     

    As you get older, more light helps see details.  Don't ask me how I know....but there's a reason for the flashlight app on your iphone.

     

    That red haired model is a direct trip to bottom 3!  I'd be worried sick if I was the designer she was assigned to on the next challenge.

     

    And, Heidi would never have worn Jake's basketball jersey dress:  her stuff needs to be short, shiny, and tight!  It wasn't tight.

  10. At least they showed proper prices for the Tahoe homes.  There was an episode of Vacation Homes for Free where they bought in the same area (Tahoma) and claimed they bought a 4BR home for $390K.  My jaw dropped and I pulled out Zillow and couldn't find anything for less than $550K.  Negotiation only gets you so far.

     

    I figure the production company tells them to have a "thing" and he decided on divided sinks.  So you can wash in one half and rinse in the other.

  11. I was really sad to hear that his half-aunt passed away of TB at 16.  How sad?  I would've been curious to know if the deserting father knew about it.  Obviously its hard to track, but if he did I hoped he lived with that guilt for the rest of his life.  It was also despicable of him to state that he was single on his enlistment so that he wouldn't have to give them any of his pay.

    Didn't her death certificate show her last name as Kelly?  So, the wife managed to go back to using her maiden name like she wanted to.

  12. Usually I see Cooking Channel when Dish has a preview month. There's this segment called "You're Eating It Wrong" that makes me stabby. So far I've seen the proper ways to eat pizza, tacos, and spaghetti. The chicken wings eating expert was a competitive eater. Competitive eating dispenses with the niceties of etiquette.

    Is "You're Eating It Wrong"satire? That would be the only reason how a glutton would qualify to give advice on the right way to eat anything!

    This thing really bugs me.  If it is satire, it needs to be amped up 50%.  If it is not satire, it's just sad.

     

    Apparently, the way to eat tacos is to use something (refried beans) to "glue" the two tortillas together.  We learned this by visiting the shop of someone who specializes in broccoli tacos.  The authentic Mexican broccoli taco - the tourists can't get enough of them.

  13. In 30 years, prices of almost everything have tripled.

     

    I liked the one "appraiser" snarking on Daphney and Lucy's wood ceiling.  And the whale still looked dreadful - why not repaint the edges you sanded over.

     

    Why was David Bromstad crying?

  14. I hated the fabric those pants were made out of.

     

    "Joseph and Merline:   OMG, Joseph needs to get over himself.  Merline isn't the reason he sewed a crappy ill-fitting dress.  He was in charge the whole time.  The cape/drape/whatever was weird but it was much more interesting than the darn dress.  Joseph didn't understand the criticism he was getting either.  HE was the reason it was dowdy.  He's designing for Junior League ladies in a small to medium sized southern city who has aged out of Lilly Pulitzer, not a mature woman who is "fashion forward".  If he keeps it up, he won't last long"

     

    He's designing for Hillary Clinton when he needs to step up and start designing for Anna Wintour.

     

    I hope that Lindsay learned that when she's pushed away from her usual small floral prints, that the results can be interesting.  I wouldn't have put red & gold with green & gold, but it was much better than the Calico Corner that she usually chooses.  Didn't one judge say Chinese Christmas ?

  15. I finally saw the JK Rowling one.  They take the Brit version, then re-record the narration with an American accent, and show that?  Seemed weird.

     

    She was so proud of being French.  The first time they showed her great grandmother's name (Schuch) and she pronounced it "shoosh", I knew she was in for a little foreign drama.  That's a German name.

  16. If I were going to rank episodes, I'd give this a 4 and most of the other episodes would be 8's or 9's.  Parts of this were too silly to believe.

     

    Why didn't Laura insist that Anita/Mia was her family's property, for example.  A great lawyer.

  17. After talking over the show with my mom, I realized why I have become so frustrated with this show. Years ago, the unconventional and teams were held until later. 

     

    The very first episode of Project Runway (Season 1 Episode 1) was an unconventional materials challenge.  They went to a grocery store for their materials.  They usually put one early in the season.  If it's not #1, it's #2 or #3.

     

    Likewise, they tend to do the team challenges earlier in the season when they have enough designers to form several teams.
