What the what???!!!?? Ra'mon??? NO!!!!!!! True, this piece was not his best...



...but surely Ra'mon has proven that he's a better designer than to be auf'ed after just one weak design! I must say that if this season had consistent judges, they would have had a history with Ra'mon, and therefore would have been able to give him the benefit of the doubt that this was just an off week. Unfortunately, that's just not a luxury this show has to offer anymore!! And thus, so long Ra'mon. And as for our little league here- yikes! for many of us, including those who chose Ra'mon to win this week, and also for those who chose him as their overall pick (myself included, hence the paragraph-long rant above). Here are our new scores:

9 points: Leah
5 points: Lisa, Shana, Scott, Cheryl, Ashley, Dana A., Nina, Kathleen, Emily
4 points: Esteban, Brett, Dana R.
2 points: Brad
1 point: Tyler, Sue, Sharon
0 points: Kirsti

What did you guys think about the judge's decisions this week?? Between







Nicolas






















Christopher










and






Epperson













...who were all in the top 3, who would you have chosen as the winner? Would you have added someone else to the top three? (I've added a poll at the top of the page so you can vote!)

Can't wait for the twists and turns that next week's challenge is sure to bring!!

Extra Extra Read All About It!

Alright, enough is enough. I need to file a missing persons report:



Male, age 50. Last seen wearing a black t-shirt, black jacket & blue jeans. Bitchy, loveable personality. Reward if found.

Also missing:



Female, age 44. Last seen with an encouraging smirk on her face. Easily bored, as seen above.

Ok I will now try to make peace with the disappearance of these beloved judges and will stop writing about it every week. But just know that a piece of your little blogger friend here is slowly dying.

So, we had some ups and downs in our scores tonight! Here they are:

8 points: Leah
4 points: Lisa, Shana, Tyler, Scott, Cheryl, Ashley, Dana A., Sharon, Dana M., Nina, Kathleen, Emily
3 points: Esteban, Brett, Kirsti
2 points: Brad
0 points: Sue

Yowza! Leah, you are a force to be reckoned with after 2 consecutive wins! But, with fewer and fewer designers left it's hard to say what all of our scores will do in the coming weeks, so stay positive gang! ;)

I guess I should mention tonight's show, which I really enjoyed (I like the non-fabric challenges) but I think I've said enough for one night. What did you guys think of all the different newspaper designs???

By the way, sorry about all the lame pictures I put on here- Lifetime is slow in posting pics from the most recent episode, therefore I've got little to work with! Sorry!

Episode 5 Picks

Thanks to Cheryl for sending me this little bit of Runway juice:

Sick! Ra'mon just lost a few points in my book. Though on the other hand, he is certainly doing whatever it takes to 'make it work,' which is the name of the game, after all.

Althea's "Cigarette Jacket" was Smokin!

That was a good episode! Not too much drama but a good chance to see everyone's capabilities, and there were definitely some good outfits there! I have to say that I was disappointed at first to see that both Michael Kors & Nina Garcia were MIA but then the guest judges were S-A-S-S-Y! I especially liked when one of the judges called Logan cute and complimented his pants and sneakers... that was good stuff.

So, we have some differentiation in our scores now! Here they are:


5 points: Leah
3 points: Lisa, Shana, Tyler, Scott E., Cheryl, Ashley, Brett, Dana A., Sue, Sharon, Dana R., Nina, Kathleen, Emily
2 points: Esteban, Brad, Kirsti
1 point: Rob, Scott S., Erin

Who knows what next week will bring! And speaking of next week, there wasn't much response about getting together to watch the show next Thursday... let me know if anyone is interested in doing that, and if not, then no biggie!

Episode 4 Picks

Hi everyone! Here are the bets for tonight's show. Hope it's a good one!

Althea - Leah
Carol Hannah - Emily, Brett, Ashley
Christopher - Brad
Epperson - Scott E.

Johnny - Shana

Logan - Nina, Lisa, Cheryl
Louise - Dana R., Sue, Tyler

Ra'mon - Kathleen

Shirin - Dana A.

Also, I will be traveling during the show tonight so if you are someone who reads this blog (thanks if so!) I won't be updating scores until I get a chance to watch tonight's episode! Not sure when that will be so please check back!...

Oh and one more thing- Chicagoans: do you have any interest in getting together for an episode and meeting your fellow leaguers?? I was thinking that those interested could meet next week, 9/17 to watch? I only found a couple of bars that have PR viewing parties, one being Kit Kat Lounge: http://www.kitkatchicago.com/ - click on 'upcoming events' for their specials. So anyone interested in getting together?? Please comment below if so!

The Biggest Beach Bum gets the Boot

I don't know about you guys, but I realized we were in for a good show the moment I saw Tim Gunn's feet. I liked the way he kept his composure by wearing slacks and a jacket with his sandals. If that doesn't scream 'good fashion sense' - I don't know what does.



Anyhoo- So long Mitchell!! Whoot Whoot Ra'mon! Way to pull things together for your team! I thought the judges made some wise decisions tonight, although I would have liked to hear more commentary about this outfit:


...made by Nicolas & Gordana. Do you guys have thoughts on this?? But speaking of the judges- where has Michael Kors been??? In the words of Ra'mon, "capital WTF?" I'm crossing my fingers that he's back by next week. And one final thought, I really liked Epperson and Qristyl's leaf-printed dress. What did you guys love/hate from this challenge??

Alright, enough chit-chat, down to some business. Our scores didn't see much action tonight. Most of us have 2 points, as we all chose designers who were 'in' tonight. However, there are a few leaguers with one point (I won't name any names) but this was only because they forgot to place a bet this week! Once we start to get more variety in the scores, I'll list them for all to see. For now, all but 4 of us have 2 points.

Til next week!
