I am really out of the entertainment news loop I guess. LOL. Oh I didn’t know the show was moving to Lifetime. I am really out of the entertainment news loop I guess. LOL.

It switched times, and also doesn't do the same rerunning schedule. Bravo is bitter, I think.

My TiVo's three thumbs-up rating has let me down. I was out of the loop. AHHH! Must go get that season pass and record past episodes. And not read related blog posts lest I read a spoiler!!! How did I not know season 5 was underway?????

My TiVo’s three thumbs-up rating has let me down. I was out of the loop.

Also, I'm glad you also noticed the uncomfortable boobage issues on Terri's outfit. I was hurting just looking at that top come down the runway. I'm surprised the judges didn't comment on that (or perhaps they did, but it was edited out to make it clear that Terri was a top contender.... no pun intended). The girl who was eliminated really needed to go, and I was unsurprised when she was booted. After her matronly mess last week, there was no way they'd let her slip through again. Maybe if she had used red striped material instead of yellow she would have eked through, but then again, maybe not.

Also, I am annoyed by most of the competitors, many of whom I feel were cast on the basis of personality moreso than actual potential/talent. I am not sure why so many designers really appeared to miss the mark on last night's challenge - very few seemed to consider what it would be appropriate for an athlete to wear. Once again, I feel like this is yet another challenge that many former contestants would have (or did) rocked, and yet this season's offerings are consistently underwhelming or completely off the mark. At this point in a season, I'd normally have a few people I might be rooting for, but so far, I'm still trying to learn all the names (rather than just referring to everyone by my own nicknames "Leather Lady", "Orange Dude", "Suede" (ok, that one's correct, but still!)).
