god, im enjoying this season so much! despite some weak judging. the cast is just really good, the right combination of bitchy drama-queens and really talented designers, sometimes both at once.
mondo! mondo! mondo ftw! loved him from the very start, but today he proved that he can tone down the crazy (that i usually love) if required, and still stay true to himself. in my mind, hes already the winner of the season.
my other two favs, april and michael d, didnt have a good week. i guess michael d made the worst garment of the week, but im glad they chose him over peach. shes a class act, but she hasnt done a single thing that was impressive. sad as it is, it really was her time.
andy and chris both made great looks. i dont love valeries aesthetic, but i dont think she deserved to be in the bottom.
gretchen is such a great villain. shes a complete bitch, but shes also really talented. i would have put her look in the top, again.
ivy, on the other hand... off with her head! granted, the top was simple but stylish. but the pants were hideous. same can be said about casanovas look: stylish top, hideous pants.
everybody hates michael c! i can see why the contestants would be frustrated, since hes getting so much judge love for mediocre or terrible work. i mean, what he made this week was auf-worthy. but why are they making it so personal? he comes across as pretty harmless. however, the editing might be deceptive.
peach has this to say about him:
TLo: Everyone hates him but he comes across as this little wounded lamb to us. What’s the deal with Michael Costello, Peach?
Peach: [Laughs] Michael Costello came onto the show, he even said this to us, because he wants his own reality show and he’s creating this character that you see. There were two sides of Michael Costello and one of them did not have the nicest language; not just curse words, subject matter too. I don’t know how to put it, but he is not the victim that they’re painting him to be.
frankly, i tend to be on the anti-costello side. there is no way we can know what really happened, but even the classy peach seems to think hes kind of a douche, and not just because of the undeserved wins. i think i trust her word more than the editing.
