Let’s just get this out of the way right now.
Hate. Hate hate hate hate hate. Ok, fine, I realize his “too many queens around here” comment was probably taken out of context to give him the homophobe edit, but still. On reality television, you only get the kind of edit that your words provoke.
Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, we can move on.
at the Atlas apartments...
Uh oh! Keith’s shirtless! And bent over! And grooming himself! I hope this doesn’t mean an elimination!
Dear Bravo, we’re aware of your original shows, all two and a half of them. No need to flash them in front of Heidi every two seconds, especially when she’s wearing such a fabulous blouse. Have your people call my people and we’ll do lunch!
Is this the only shot they know how to get of Shannone?
Blayne can’t tan. Blayne sad. Blayne needs new hoodie.
Eye of the Tiger video - take two!
at the Armory...
Walking onto that field is probably the most athletic thing most of these people have done in, say, ever.
Is Apolo Ohno really qualified to be the guest judge, considering he’s sporting a soul patch?
Sports? You’re kidding, right? I went to boarding school! I’m only familiar with sports that involve white bermuda shorts and striped cable-knit sweaters!
Plus, I’m not a very strong swimmer.
THE PRETEND OLYMPICS!!! OMG!!!111!!!PONIES!!!111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEST CHALLENGE EVAH YOU GUYSSSSSS!
What.
Evs.
over at Mood...
You’re using...oh forget it. No one ever listens to me anyway. Make another damn garbage bag, for all I care.
Keith totally stole my fabric, but it doesn’t really matter because I am going to make AN ENTIRE COLLECTION OF CLOTHING worthy of the Olympic team for the opening ceremony in, like, twenty-eight minutes. SUCK ON THAT, KEITH!
back at the workroom...
How many pins do you think I can fit into my cheek pouches without hurting myself, huh, Kenley?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHA!
Shut.
The hell.
Up.
Tim! Tim! Look at my totally literal design! Look at it! Isn’t it literal?
Yes, Joe, it is! And look here! A totally trite idea for this zipper that the producers told me and the judges to gush over!
Oh hai Blayne. You can haz Sergeant Pepper’s outfit.
I don’t even know what you’re talking about.
Oh, god, youth.
Like, I only know the Beatles from Across The Universe, not even from Beatlemania or I Am Sam, I’m not even old enough for that. Or at least that’s what I’d like you to believe so I can get more air time IN MY PURPLE HOODIE.
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Holla at cha boy?
Kid, don’t even.
Um.
But Ti-iiiihiiiim! I don’t DO athletic weaaaar! I do cocktail dressssssessssssss! I went to boarding schoooool!
The bolero’s cute. Very Wonder Woman.
But Kenley told me not toooooooo! I went to boarding schooooooool!
*begins meltdown #8752*
Oof. Um, you might want to start packing your things now, Jen.
In boarding school we were allowed to thread other people’s machines without having our sexuality mocked. Because that’s how we roll in boarding school. I think Wesley went to boarding school, because we were really connecting.
I hate Joe! Joe’s a meanie! He reminds me of all the bullies from boarding school, only with a bad center part and facial hair circa 1993.
after the Runway show...
I must be on crack, because I thought this…
was sort of cute with its athletic touches.
Nina wants me.
Daniel. Daniel Daniel Daniel. “If drinking’s her sport, that’s the dress.” (brilliance du Kors)
Seriously?
I can’t look.
That’s right. That’s how it’s done.
This Olympic team would look very smart. And chic. And smart.
Someone went a little crazy with the bedazzler on my top, don’t you think?
All together now...OH GIRL, NO. And especially not with a matching USO outfit.
I laugh in your general direction.
the judges deliberate...
This challenge drained my soul.
Well I think I know who has to go.
Prim and proper and ashamed of your body doesn’t work on this show, bitches. Hurray for sportswear and T&A!
Korto wins!
Terri is totally classy!
Jennifer goes home.
I guess it’s pretty surreal to talk about surrealism in design but never actually, y’know, show any. I liked you, Jen, but it was your time. Auf Wiedersehn!
More on the Olympic gear tomorrow!

Danielle and Tony:
Happy New Year! I think of you both often. Have made the transition to vegetarianism. Maybe vegan one day. It’s a process. I love the challenge to be creative and the health benefits as well. Come to Austin and visit me sometime.

Okay, so I am coming to this way late, but I just wanted to commiserate on the Money Pit situation. We are considering selling our house next year just to avoid putting in a new roof and furnace. I know I don’t want to stay in this house for another five or so years, so I know we’d never get our money back (we’d have to finance those repairs). Well, there are other reasons why we want to sell but those are big ones. As it stands now we have a huge To Do list just to get the house ready to show. Ugh.
Congrats on the new job too.

Hey, Deebers,
GREAT letter! But I was shocked to see the notebook paper with FIVE HOLES! At a Catholic school? No wonder you Mount Saint Joe’s/Joe Paradox chicks were completely out of control!
I would still love to do a little “wax on wax off” with Ralph Macchio.
