The invective, it is fabulous! You <em>so</em> rule, dude. “…to transform them from the random shambling heaps of hair balls and cleaning rags, into something more like sentient beings.”

I really feel sorry for Kara, who made Santino look like, well, not a million bucks, but at least 50 cents...and then had to do the Walk of Shame in that hot glue-dripping mess. Manicures and pedicures: the enemy of inspiration. I've always known this. Sigh.

There is no rational reason why he is still there, unless, of course, it is due to ratings and the show is fixed. Very disappointing. I still don’t understand why Santino was not booted this week.

All television is about the ratings, and people tune in each and every week to see Santino in all of his rude, ill-manufactured, crude and egotistical glory. Everyone loves to hate Santino....eke...BTW, I listened to Tim Gunn's podcast of this episode. Apparently, the group got so caught up in the spirit of the "makeover" they all insisted on getting manicures and pedicures, which took up a tremendous amount of time they should have been working on their projects. Thusly, we the viewers, get the results, rush jobs....with the exception of Chloe, who is extremely talented, as well as quite disciplined, or so it seems to me.

This most recent episode was just a farce. Santino is just irritating. His "vision" is a lot of talk...thats what he does is talk talk talk and in the process irritates and distracts the others. I'm half tempted to stop watching altogether.... thnx for letting me vent. I have rarely agreed with the judges so far. This most recent episode was just a farce. Santino is just irritating.

Santino should be gone. Sure, he's won two challenges but everything since then has been a total mess. Nick, although his suit may have been poorly executed, was finished! Daniel wasn't crying as he walked down the runway. Kara's sleeve was falling off! The garment wasn't complete and when she was asked how she felt in it, she didn't even get a chance to answer, Santino jumped in and said that he thought she looked great. I don't want to be entertained by the designers antics, I want to be wowed by their designs. Santino is just irritating beyond belief and his designs are truly one note.

It is always interesting and edifying to see how the designs fare in the marketplace. The market disagrees with the judges in this challange, currently Daniels design for Chloe is in second place in the bidding.

And ayyyyy! Lorraine, please let us not get into the war of the words over the Bowl that is Super but was not so Super this year, Twistygirl lives in Seattle but is from Pittsburgh and loves her Men of Steel and hates the Hawks of the Sea.

It was not sewn but glued, and he blamed HER for moving around too much and making it fall apart. It was not remotely flattering and if an actual model had been forced to wear it I have visions of a beautiful scene where she tells him of for being a talentless hack and then quits. Anyways, it seems clear to me that Daniel will win and the two girls will be in the top three with him. Santino has been kept on for entertainment value but he will be gone when the world wants something other than "wearable art" that is not remotely wearable for real women. Santino needs to join the real world and if he would do that then I might have some respect for his artistic vision. But he made poor Kara look godawful. If he had pulled off his oh-so-original vision I'd think twice, but has he EVER pulled one off successfully? They're just artistic stunts to get attention. Kara's designs have been improving a lot in my eyes, I was surprised that she didn't win the garden party challenge, her dress fit much better than Daniel's did (oh those orchids, they saved him!) and I wouldn't mind having her make me over, I think it would be interesting and flattering. If I ad a nice job in corporate America where I got to dress up every day, I would obviously want Chloe to dress me so I could look that perfect. But I still don't understand Daniel's appeal. He turned Chloe into a Fem-Bot! It is always interesting when the designers have to use real bodies instead of models.
