Poor Chris — he's trying to not engage Gunnar and be mature about it.  Which means the producers are cursing his name and working on a way to fix one of the next 3-4 challenges so that they are on a team together… I loved Ven's dress.  I find it funny that this week's entry was MUCH more flattering to a woman's body…

Yeah I thought hte same thing…Buffi's was bad, but Andrea's dot dress was WAAAAY worse. I was going to also agree on the fabric thing, but didn't Andrea also use a random bunching of fabric in the back? At least Buffi's resembled real clothes…

I don't even REMOTELY like his designs, but he is an enjoyable presence on the show. I'd much rather watch him make something kooky than watch Chris & Gunnar shoot daggers at each other for an entire episode…

Okay, so the line about the owl triggered one of those laughing fits where you can't stop laughing long enough to explain it to your poor confused husband sitting nearby. I had too dig up the original bird challenge recap to do it justice :-)

I have a memory of sitting in the room with sheets of paper with numbers printed on them, the accented numbers in large/bold print. We were speaking (or yelling…) the rhythms like follows:

LOL, true, nobody rioted in this version. I played Rite of Spring with my college orchestra, easily the most challenging ensemble piece I've ever experienced.
