Where I stop posting photos of the losers (for now) as a thumb for fear of being lynched by the angry mobs next time I step outside my house (thank you all for the emails!)
Anyhoo, after last week’s suckage I thought everyone had stopped watching/caring/worrying about this show but then I stumbled upon Gawker’s live-blogging/commenting watching party phenomenon for it, and if you’re game, we can do BYT’s version of it (even if it is just me and Morgan posting comments the way we text each other through the episodes)
Let me know now.
OK, back to the show. Dammit
This week, Brooke Shields asked our unlikely (and unlikable) bunch to design a day-to-night outfit for her character Wendy on “Lipstick Jungle”. I have seen 1 episode of “Lipstick Jungle” mainly because they were tipping it to be the “NEW SEX AND THE CITY” (it wasn’t) and I am not sure who actually watches it, but the kids were all atwitter.
They presented their sketches, then Brooke picked 6 of her favorites (Keith, Terri, Jerrel, Kelli, Blayne and Korto) and then they picked their pairs (Kenley, Suede, Stella, Daniel, Leanne and Joe, respectively) and set to sew and be annoying for 50 odd minutes.
The previews had a lot of “potential drama” in them but what they did not show was what a raging bitch Kenley is shaping up to be. The only team that seemed to be blissfully working together was the duo of Jerell and Stella who divied duties up and then went merrily on their own business not asking for camera time or anything.
Daniel would look at the camera with his medicated look in his eyes and state (for the umpteenth time) that “He has impeccable taste”, Kenley would try to muscle her decisions in while undermining everyone else, while Keith would just flex his muscles and mumble something about “his designs being the best”, and Terri and Suede fought over how to drape/not drape things but then faux-kissed and made-up after Tim told them he liked their collar. Korto and Joe had a little tiff about jacket volume and backstabbing and Leanne added “and girl” to Blayne’s “Holler atcha Boy” way tired catch-phrase.
BORRRRRRRRING.
What came about is this:
The best ones being of Jerrel/Stella silent killer team, and The Kenley/Keith raging-inferiority-complex organization.
They were pretty good, I guess.
The worst ones were from Blayne (whom Brooke, with a cool as a cucumber face of someone who’s seen it all before (and she did, trust me) called “Bratty”) and Leanne (who I am certain was not eliminated because the outfit she wore herself was just positively the best thing that show has seen all season):
I want that shrug and I want it now.
And scraping the very bottom were Kelli and Daniel and their hoooker suit.
Now, THE BEST part of the show came about when the judges questioned Kelli and Daniel’s taste levels and Kelli said something about winning the first challenge and Daniel (who, I swear has the blankest stare in all the states of America) widened his pupils a little more and said “My taste is impeccable” and KENLEY BURSTED OUT LAUGHING ON THE RUNWAY.
And ok, yes, this was totally mean, rude, classless (and a few other adjectives that can be freely applied to all the contestants) BUT I FELT LIKE LAUGHING MYSELF (though I am a well brought up young woman and as such would never do that in such a situation. Maybe). I mean, DUDE, CAN WE SEE SOME OF THAT IMPECCABLE TASTE PLEASE? Not just hear about it.
Forget “Holler atcha Boy”, “My taste is IMPECCABLE” (paired with some crazy eyes) SHOULD BE THE CATCHPHRASE OF THIS SEASON.
Because none of these people’s taste is impeccable (aside form maybe Leanne’s, but the girl has some sort of chemical imbalance so she cannot be always accounted for). And none of them are really all that good. And none of them are anyone you’d want to be friends with. And none of them you could take anywhere. I swear. I mean, Brooke wouldn’t, and she “dated” Michael Jackson in the 80s.
In the end Kelli got eliminated for being a little more white trash then the rest, at least this week and a glimmer of light emerged with the drag queen challenge that is going to take place next week
Wheeeeeee.
If you want to liveblog through it, we should.
In the meantime, comment away.
call me gay if you want to, but i love this fucking show…. my girl and i have watched every episode together since season 1.
i think its pretty damn impressive what they are able to do in such short time
August 14, 2008 at 10:38 amI don’t hate Kenley and Keith like most people, but Jerell and Stella deserved this one. Jerell is too cocky for my tastes, but team Leatha pulled it off.
Overall, is anyone else bored with this season?
August 14, 2008 at 10:57 amDaniel might be spineless, but thank GOD they didn’t eliminate the last hottie on the show. He totally needs to up the volume on his taste level though.
August 14, 2008 at 11:30 amLeanne is adorable. I wanna slap Kenley in her bitch face real bad.
August 14, 2008 at 11:55 amIt may be just because I think she’s adorable and like nearly everything she’s made, but I actually like Kenley.
Maybe I am a bitch as well?

August 14, 2008 at 6:56 pmThen its settled.
Morgan, you, me, two keyboards and some rotten fruit to throw at the screen.
So God Help Us (and Kenley)
August 14, 2008 at 7:00 pmOk so does suede ever change his shirt? They’re all the same rag shirt. Leanne is adorable, and why on earth is stella on this show?
