No, that’s what I thought, too.

The only reason I’m sorry she did smash it is because it keeps Shan around another week and puts Naseer in possible peril.

Not to mention Bill Amesbury! 🎶Hey Virginia, touch me like ya do!🎶

I sat here, Michigan born and raised, and felt smug and Superior (as in the lake…yes, my Michigander puns are showing) that I knew that and none of them did. But opening in November 1957 and being 5 miles long, well, geez, what else could it be?? (Probably a half dozen other things, unless you’re a dyed-in-the-wool Michigander!)

Yeah, I’d prefer something closer to honesty. Maybe not, “OMG, Grease is my favorite movie EVER!!”, but “Oh, Olivia Newton John was so pretty in that movie!” or, “Oh, fun…50s costumes!”

I’m willing to bet our Final Three consists of Olivia, Cody, and JoJo. Jimmie or Iman in fourth. And I won’t be one bit surprised if either Cody or Olivia wins this season.

So. Much. Bullshit. Miz was far from the best dancer, but also far from the worst. And I don’t buy Jenna and JoJo as bottom two.

I’m old…my senior year in high school, as I drove my little Chevy Vega wagon back and forth to work, “A Day at the Races” was my soundtrack. I can remember the Japanese part of “Teo Torriate” word for word to this day.

Nothing can make me like Olivia and Val.

I love Radio GaGa!!

This is breaking my heart. Queen is my all-time favorite band, and Freddie Mercury was a musical genius. The covers/versions they’re using are awful. Still, awful Queen is better than 96% of what’s out there now, so… Back to the dancing, I haven’t been very impressed with anybody yet tonight. I was hoping to be wowed, after last week being so good. But nope. Not yet, anyway.

Watching Len rock out to “Bohemian Rhapsody” was perfection. Amanda’s kicks and flicks weren’t crisp and clean for me.

He’s not even all that young. He’s 32, the same age as Zayden and Anna, and older than Chasity, Bones, or Darren. He’s only three years younger than Christian, who was quite young (21) when he competed. I never really thought too much about the actual judging, but now that several people have mentioned it, I have to admit that I don’t care for their sob stories adding any value to their actual garment and design. I don’t care that Kenneth made last week’s ugly vest from scraps of everyone else’s looks because they helped him through his issue with Meg. I don’t think Chasity deserves bonus points for not being sent home for a flawed design two weeks ago. I also miss the judges having a close up, hands on look at the garments. Up close, there have been times when a design that looked marvelous from several feet away was found lacking up close…and vice versa. That should be a part of the judging, and I would like them to show it to the viewers at home. I would also like to see more of all of the garments, but I recognize that with so many designers and a limited amount of time, that’s not feasible. And it’s reality TV, after all…I think a certain amount of behind-the-scenes stuff is fine, even appreciated, as long as it isn’t like the situation with Meg last week or the Top Chef debacle from several years ago where four chefs tried to shave Marcel’s head. The designers we remember most fondly are frequently remembered not just for their designs but for their personalities, which we see outside of work time. Dmitry’s malapropisms, Chris March’s OTT personality, Christian’s “fierce!”, or the adorable Anthony Williams!

I don’t really see Bones as arrogant. He loved his look and had no problem saying so, but he didn’t behave as though the judges were idiots for not loving it, too. And he seems to be very supportive of his fellow designers, and kept himself out of last week’s drama, too. I like him. I agree about giving either Anna or Octavio the win over Chasity, though, because her model couldn’t walk in that gown any more than Zayden’s model could in hers. I really loved what she made otherwise, and on a shallow note, dear God, is she beautiful!!

Honestly, if they keep Kenneth over Bones or Zayden, it has to be for drama. I remember when they sent home the usually stellar Afa and kept the usually messy Kovid a couple of seasons ago.

I adore Christian. I adored him on his season, and have loved him ever since. I think he’s quite good as a mentor…I was tired of Tim’s non-specific “I’m concerned…make it work!”. But to each his/her own. Some of those looks were freaking fabulous, and some of these designers have no real business being there. Let’s see how this shakes out.

I mean, she should absolutely smash that glass. She’s a fool otherwise. But this season has too many weird, out there twists for me. I miss old-fashioned Survivor. I want one merge idol, no twists or advantages or secret crap.

I liked Erika until I had to listen to her say “like” every third word.

Sigh…me, too.

Um, wow…Daniella and Iman?? That was incredible!!

If Melora gets eliminated tonight, when her very elderly parents are there, it will be seriously shitty.

I love Jimmie…

I don’t even care that JoJo’s a dancer; she and Jenna are so much fun to watch. I loved Cody and Cheryl tonight. I did not enjoy Kenya and Brandon, although I don’t know why. The Miz was pretty good.

Precisely. The way she said his name at Mood, “Christian Siriano”, had the tone and attitude of calling him “asshole” or “you jerk” or some such term of disgust and dislike. Christian was trying to steer her towards buying a bit of color, and she took it personally. I won’t miss her one bit.

Christian did tell her at Mood. Christian: What is the color? Meg: My color scheme is a little more traditional, a little more muted, because my model is Asian… (Which, WTF?) Christian: Why muted? You just did a muted navy dress that you couldn’t even see anything. Meg: I may have ginger hair, Christian Siriano, but that does not mean…uh, me and color, we’re still in the talking relationship. We’re not committed. Christian: Can we just like, pump it up, though? Megan: (as she runs off) You don’t think I’m exciting? She could have done color or a print for at least one of the elements. She chose not to. Then started crying again when Christian told her it was very “little old man”, which it was. Kenneth actually did try repeatedly to tell her she didn’t need to switch with him. At that point, no one else seemed to be involved. And she wouldn’t even let him get a sentence out. Just, “No. Shut up and let me speak. You wanted this, I’m doing it, so here.” And she went into the sewing area and asked the room at large, “Was I mean?”, after snapping at Kenneth and her new model. That’s when Prajjé jumped in and said what he thought, telling her she was “fake as fuck”. And she was. The whole thing was a bunch of people who all felt that their own feelings weren’t being heard, with two of them yelling over each other to try and get their point of view to be the one everyone agreed with. It was never going to happen, and kudos to the designers who kept their heads down and dealt with the task at hand. Bones saying he wanted to take everyone to pet animals was cute. I think he’s extra, but I actually think he has shown some decent qualities. He helped a teammate 100% last week and didn’t say a word about it until Darren acknowledged him. I know I may hate him next week, but so far I don’t think he’s an ass just because he bit back at Christian (who I happen to love.). And finally, I’m a very large woman. I wore my first C-cup at the age of 10. I guarantee Meg wears a smaller bra than I do, and there is no way I would be caught dead in anything that dingy or ill-fitted. I have black, white, beige, purple, turquoise, and mauve, with lace and without, and although they’re not as cheap as tossing a cute little 34C in the cart with your lunch meat and Oreos at Walmart, they’re affordable enough and much cuter than whatever Meg was wearing.
