I thought she was really funny last night. Her comments--and, even more, her takes--to the camera were priceless.

Or maybe I'm just assigning personalities, since no one really seems to have one this season.

She's an ungrateful, petulant, snippy little bitch and I was really itching for more of a smackdown. I hate her more than Wendy Pepper, even. More than Tanya and Puck from The Real World. That VOICE. I wanted her to go home. I guess we can take some comfort in not having to hear Suede talk about Suede anymore, though. I'll give him this..he really did work it for Korto...he was the best runway model!

I liked Jerrell a lot, but felt that Korto's was definitely the best of the night. This is a challenge Stella really may have excelled at.

LL Cool J looked great.

Blueroses, I agree with everything you said.

For the first time, I liked what Suede put on the runway, and he got aufliminated...SO glad I dont have to hear him anymore. I dont think any of them did a great job...Korto's looked like a halloween costume of a punk rocker.

How funnily awkward was Leanne on the runway?! LOVED the bangs!

Kenley could very well be acting like an ass for television, but I dont actually think she's that smart. I also dont think she's very talented, and didnt deserve her win.

I'll bet she makes it to Fashion Week...ugh!

I am glad that the three best collections from Bryant Park are in the final four.

I agree Kenley's not that bright. And she's clearly a bit of an ass. But I do strongly suspect they're editing her to try to create a bad guy, since they don't have one.

"Or maybe I'm just assigning personalities, since no one really seems to have one this season."

Seriously? I don't think that the problem is lack of personality at all.

And regarding Korto, Terri said in her exit interview with EW that Korto has always been funny, but in the beginning the producers edited the show to make her into the cliche "angry, black woman."

I was disappointed in all the designs last night. I thought they would be able to come up with much better garments since they were working with easy to create stereotypes. Some of them didn't even approach the genre!

Jerrell's was the best of the worst but I thought it looked some costumes that have already been worn.

The challenge was a dud as far as I'm concerned.

p.s. and PUNK! How easy is that? I could have put together a much better outfit from the stuff I wore back then. sheesh!

Well, yes, seriously. You're welcome to disagree, of course, but I don't think I could describe a single designer, except to say that Kenley is full of herself and a twit, and two of them tried to generate catch phrases that would work in an SNL parody.

I've found the competitors to be really dull this season.

But as I always say: maybe that's just me.

That's very interesting, and speaks to two of my points: Korto IS funny, and they are editing the show to try to create personalities, at any rate personalities different from the ones the contestants actually possess. (Though I still claim they're a pretty dull lot.)

I wanted Kenley gone last night. I am just wondering where this attitude came from all of a sudden. She really wasn't like this early on. I think they kept her for drama/ratings. (Maybe not) The show's website has the Bryant Park collections up for the last 6 contestants. I hate to say it but I think Kenley is going to win this. Jerrell's collection is good but I think they are going to pick Kenley in the end. But I could be wrong.

My husband actually watched the first 20 minutes or so with me last night and he was like "Why is that guy talking about himself in the 3rd person?" I'm like "he does that all the time, it's his schtick"

Hubby couldn't stand it and left the room....LOL

I think Korto and Leanne are not only the most talented, but the funniest, and I think they've tried to edit that out of them...making Leanne the mouse and Korto the angry black woman. They each have had the best zingers, but only recently.

Editing to create personalities is a reality show staple.

BTW, I love that Jerrell told Kenley those earrings were "definitely hip-hop"! They were actually gypsy dancer and douchey.

[Reginald Tresilian]

Gypsy Dancer and Douchey sounds like an old vaudeville act.

What an episode!!

[Shannon Bo Dannon]

Posted: 10/1/08 at 9:56pm

Please be Kenley! *crosses fingers*

[BNN]

Posted: 10/1/08 at 10:01pm

Ugh, such a cop out episode. I think Jerrell's collection is the weakest out of the four left, and I think the whole "no loser" thing was garbage. It WAS close last season with Chris and Rami but this season, I think Kenley needed to go.

Needless to say, I love this show and can't wait for next week.

Underwhelmed with every one of them. They didn't have to award Jerrell that 'win.' They didn't have to award anyone.

[Jane2]

Posted: 10/2/08 at 1:13am

this was the "crying" episode. they all cried tonight. a lot!

[DayDreamer]

Posted: 10/2/08 at 1:59am

Ugh. Kenley needed to go.

[StockardFan]

Posted: 10/2/08 at 7:39am

Kenley's talking back is getting worse every episode.

And yeah, if everyone is at risk of going, why even give anyone the win?

[gilliane]

Posted: 10/2/08 at 9:46am

Total copout. Kenley needed to go, period. She should have gone last week.

[Jane2]

Posted: 10/2/08 at 10:08am

there's still a chance she won't show at Bryant Park!

[uncageg]

Posted: 10/2/08 at 10:58am

I think she already did "show" at Bryant park. The final 6 contestants did. To throw everyone off again this season. You can see all of their lines that they showed on the show's website.

I agree, Kenley should have been gone last week. Suede's outfit was more Rock than hers was Hip Hop. And especially since they had LL Cool J there and he out and out said there was nothing hip hop about her outfit.

I personally cannot stand Kenley, she is disrespectful and immature. She is, however, drama, and the show recognizes that. Just like how American Idol puts untalented people on their show to make the auditions humorous, they will keep Kenley on to create drama.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 10/2/08 at 12:08pm

This is the same crap they've pulled every season but the first. I knew Kenley was staying once she forgot her frickin' tulle. They want to keep her because (they think) she makes good tv. I love how she explains her putrid personality...blaming dad and where she lived. It's probably partially true, but gross how she threw dad into the conversation.

Speaking your mind does not mean being rude and immature, Kenley!

Why did Leanne staple that odd panel to the butt of her dress?! She would've won the challenge if she left it off.

So, last year they couldnt decide between Chris and Rami to be the last finalist, so they did a runoff before fasion week to see who goes, Rami winning a spot. Why not do the same this year? Why should jerrell and Leanne still be on the spot here? Since they insist on keeping Kenley, make it a fair challenge and have her and Korto fight to see who joins the others in Bryant Park. Now we will get to see too much of their final collections before they are in the tents! Stupid and I am feeling like this is the worst season so far.
