PR...the salve for ennui
last night i went over to sabrina's house to gossip about people we went to culinary school with and watch PR. we might also have made mention of other "reality" shows we might happen to flip past on occasion, but there's really no need to mention bret michaels' weakness for transsexuals, or any potential fascination we may have with his show here.
as episodes go, last night's denim challenge was a surprise. most of the remaining contestants produced decent looks, even though the challenge itself was kind of boring. (cut up jeans and jackets, sew them back together) the worst 2 were definitely victorya and jillian. i'll just get it out of the way now, i don't like victory-A (as sabs calls her) and i'm not sorry she's gone. she seemed whiny and weak-willed to me, plus the blue bedazzled prom number was awful. sweet-p was robbed on that one. jillian's was bad, but i think she's in the finals...despite her irritating personal manner. she's always talking about how long things take and she's always running out of time, but she never seems to be in a hurry. rami (who's also pretty insufferable) is in the finals too, i think. he went off on some self-masturbatory tangent about how much better he is than the other designers and said something about having an international refinement. or some such horseshit. we were making fun of him, so i didn't really hear all of it.
he's the santino/jeffrey of this cycle. or thinks he is - but better, of course, infinitely more refined. the most interesting thing about santino was that he was a loon bag. the interesting thing about jeffrey is that he is a cardassian. there's really nothing interesting at all about rami. he's just a smug bastard with a bit of a cruel streak. chris march (ricky gervais-ate-nathan lane) somehow keeps surviving, much to my delight. christian is starting to get on his nerves, and i hope there is some serious bitch-slapping to come. ricky won, and immediately began to weep. i think i caught nina wrinkling her nose, as if his tears smelled a little musty...he'll never make the finals - way too unstable.
my call is that sweet p, march and ricky will be eliminated, and christian, jillian, & rami are the top 3. if there's a 4th, i guess maybe it's sweet p, but i really don't think she has the chops. she might be better than i think, because i really liked her last 3 looks - but she always looks so completely gobsmacked by her own clothes...she doesn't seem to own her work at all, and that will be her undoing. unfortunately, she and march are the only remotely likable ones...and i don't think they're going to make it, which puts me in an awkward position. i'm not generally one to root for the underdog. losers...tend to lose, and hoping they'll surprise you is usually pretty fruitless. but it's a little irritating, because i feel compelled to find something redemptive in the 3 i think have a chance. christian's use of spray starch to fashion his flock of seagulls hair? i'm reaching...
fortunately, top chef is just around the corner...

You musn't forget the dousing of Rami's face with some Eurotrash cologne. My favorite part of the episode.
