the Fashion BLOC: Project Runway - Teamed Messery

Its obvious as the season goes on, the stakes are getting higher. Hence, this episode starts out pretty intense.

Challenge: Teams of 2 to create a high-end signature look with $500.

Teams:
Jay and Maya
Jesus and Amy
Anthony and Seth Aaron
Ben and Janeane
Jonathan and Mila
Ping and Jesse
Emilio and Anna

Ping and Jesse seem like they are gonna struggle off the bat. Jesse most likely had his fingers crossed behind his back so she wouldn't pick him but it was inevitable. Ping is driving him insane with her randomness while Mila and Jonathan are perfect for each other. Seth Aaron and Anthony seem to be good but not sure just yet.


At Tim's Check-In...
He tells them they have to make another look that is a "look for less" inspired by another teams look. It has to be under $50 and not to mention, the team has to trust one of their teammates to go pick up the fabric. YIKES!

Jay was not even trying because he has immunity and we all know how Klum and Kors feel about people like that. Anthony is determined to work with Seth Aaron despite him being an arse which shows a lot about his character. He really knows how to work with different people, I like that ! ...AND Jesse and Ping continue to bicker and even though, Jesse told her the fabric she chose looked cheap she didn't listen although, Tim agreed. Most of them scramble, sashay, and do nothing to the very end.....man this is really season of the SaSHAY?!

To the Runway...

Judges Kors, Nina Garcia, Matthew Williamson and Klum announced that 1 or more may be getting cut. hmmm...

Nina told Mila she "really loved her signature" but they hated their look for less.

Kors calls Anthony's dress a "southern cotillion party from hell".

Despite a major diss to Seth Aaron and Anthony, Seth confronted them and said it was a 50/50 decision and he stands behind it 100% which was quite commendable. I don't know how many times I have watched people throw other people under the bus but he stood up to them. YAY AGAIN and about time someone stood up to them!

Despite the judges distaste for the look for less, Mila WINS with her signature look that was fun yet elegant and cool. A fab suit that separated her from the rest. On the other hand, Ping FINALLY got the boot and her poor execution finally bit her in the arse. This episode was filled with ups and downs, I'm sure that was only half of what will we see for the rest of this season. STAY TUNED....

the Outer Limits: Groundhog goes Digital....

PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA is known for their infamous Groundhog Day celebration where "Phil" predicts our weather future. Its tradition for this town and for as long as I've known it has always been that way but ummm ALL OF A SUDDEN....this year, PETA is proposing a robotic groundhog that replaces Phil. They claim there is no reason to keep him captive to only subject him to bright lights and huge crowds. Even though, Phil is kept in a climate-controlled area and is inspected on an annual basis by the state Department of Agriculture. Even, William Deeley, president of the Inner Circle of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, says the animal is "being treated better than the average child in Pennsylvania." LOL! I'm not even gonna touch that.


Anyhoot, these PETA activists are clearly bored and have nothing else to fight for....who cares about Polar Bears and Penguins when a groundhog is running the show....Nevertheless, I wonder how PETA plans on getting Phil out of there??? I wonder if they will do like Bill Murray did in this clip from Groundhog Day......ENJOY!
