My God I couldn't agree with you more! I also think, though, that the problem with Jimmy is an ongoing problem. Alston has pointed out multiple times how poor of a job the show has done selling us on the forever love that Fiona and Jimmy are ment to have. At this point in time, I'm just starting to think that they…

As a fellow shipper of the pair, allow me to say that what I'm guessing you want is what we all want: the scene where Mickey collapses into Ian's arms confesses how this experience has shown him how much he loves Ian and how lucky he is to have someone like Ian in his life. About how Ian is the only person out there…

Great great review, Alston! I fell more in a B+ range after watching the episode, but I think you pushed me over the edge here.

Indeed. I hope it was obvious that I was being sarcastic in my comments about Ryan. He's amazing with his reviews and I wouldn't want to experience this great show with any of the other avc writers.

I'm officially done with this show. I've complained all that I can about the implausibility of Joe having people just placed all over the fucking place, but the moment the cop lady shot Shawn Ashmore, I stopped watching. I don't buy it!

I'm wondering the same thing about the edit, but mostly because this was the first time we got a hint of ego from Patricia. I'm wondering if her little "Oh I've been in the top man times, don't worry!" statement was a hint of what the other designers have been putting up with for far longer. Maybe Patricia's really a…

God damnit I hate you, McGee! Just when I thought I'd be able to comment with something of an original thought, you steal the words right out of my mouth with your first stray observation. Couldn't you just try to be a little less all encompassing and efficient with these reviews so we can have something to talk about?

The flip side of that, though, is that maybe if she stowed the bad attitude and used all of her "talent" to help her group instead of sniping at them and talking about how much better than everyone she is, maybe she would have gotten some of the feedback she seems to need. The one time she had the opportunity to get…

I couldn't disagree more for a number of reasons. 1) As you point out it is a client challenge so giving the client something she wants and something *she* looks good in is important. More than important, actually, it's the entire point. If it were a "Make a dress for an everyday woman to be put in mass production"…

I disagree with your paraphrase of why Kate likes being with Tu. I may not have had my attention glued to the screen during the conversation, but what I took away from it was that Kate appreciated being with Tu because she likes his looks and he was the first person on the show to show faith and confidence in her. Her…

I think we can start by saying that if the judges had only been Heidi, Nina, and Joan, it would have been perfectly fine. Melissa and Rachel added nothing at all to the judging. They were both rather pointless.

No one's saying they all have to be "good" at the game. I'm saying that any "fan" of the game would at least know the basics of *how* the game works. Thusly, any real Fan of the game would know going in that getting all cuddly on day one is basically suicide. Strutting around camp like you own the place for no good…

I'm sorry, but nothing you said equates them "getting a bad rap." Everything you said equals "Their idiots who can't play this game." This leads to another problem I have with the season: the subtitle of Fans v Favorites. The producers are playing fast and loose with these terms. The "favorites" (as Carrie pointed out…

I posed the same questions about his usefulness last week when they had a 6-4 advantage over the new kids. I mean maybe they didn't want to stake much on the 5-4 advantage they would have had if they'd listened to Matt and sent Shamar home, but now I think this issue could come up on a weekly basis. As they're numbers…

I must say, I think C+ is a little generous of you as that was painfully boring and nothing we watched really went anywhere. It's possible that Laura's scramble could be a sign of things to come, so there's that, but what was the point of Shamar's long "Here's why I don't want to play anymore!" speech given that he…

"Now, of course, the men and women of the armed forces come in all
shapes and sizes, but it was still implausible enough that I kept
waiting for a corny, lame twist where Sam was revealed to be faking the
whole army thing."

"Another quibble about the Ian and Mickey scene: So Mickey is into Ben Wa
balls now? I don’t buy it. That’s expert gay, and Mickey is an amateur"

Right, but it was a red carpet look and if he chose the red carpet at the CMAs, then he's well within the challenge parameters. I too liked CMG's dress. I can see what Nina was saying about it looking a little cheap and unfinished, but that was just the hem and the seams. Granted I think he was way wrong on the hem…

Thank you for reminding me about Ben's boobie sash. I had forgotten to mention it before. I hated it when I saw it the first time and it really took a lot of my attention away from the dress, but after watching the runway again, I didn't mind it as much. I think it might have actually been nicer on a woman who…
