Walk it

T minus 4 hours 20 minutes to the Runway.

I've been losing a little faith in the producers. Barbie stands as THE BEST challenge of the show over a season and a half. Lingerie was a good idea even though the designs didn't exactly live up to the exciting potential.

Then came the challenges for the Republic and Sasha Cohen. While D.V. and Andrae's outfit worked it and Santino/Nick's was actually quite interesting, there wasn't much room for creativity or any kind of "breakout" performance. The skating challenge offered ZERO room for any kind of creativity. Sasha basically chose the outfit that most looked like a skating outfit. And we all know what kind of bullshit that caused. Good riddance Zuzu.

Thankfully the designers, Michael and Nina and the fabulous Tim Gunn (look out Anderson Cooper!) have saved the day for the crappy challenges. Nick and Daniel V and Chloe are so endearing. Santino is the Jerry Springer Show that keeps me coming back for all the bullshit I can't stand and can't stand not to watch. Nina works it and rocks it better than any reality show judge. And Tim Gunn is just...Tim Gunn. Love him. Love everything about him.

I'm not feeling the whole "nature" theme that seems to be this week's challenge. It's kind of corny. It's a little cliche. It's not very original.

Here's hoping this week's show gets a Hogwarts E: Exceeds Expectations.
