That was a pretty horrible outfit he wore at the end last night. I had more hopes for Tommy but I think he let being able to choose the team go to his head. I think he really did think he could perform well doing the construction but he got overwhelmed and didn't act like leader material. I also wondered why the fourth person who didn't go to the party was the only one NOT in the pit, since she slept through much of the work time and yes, she was willing to help later, but wasn't there to help with the cutting which would have been a good thing. Tommy spent too much of the time that we were shown, feeling like he would probably be on the winning team, or that if not he'd be in the power position over who was booted. To quote the Julia Roberts character in Pretty Woman. Big. Mistake. Big. BIG. Mistake. I think TH was trying to tell Princess that if she was designing she did need to actively push for that design. She has skated in the past weeks and just barely been kept in the show, but this week I think he wanted to shock her with the good advice but was right to keep her.

Shauna was the one who appeared to do nothing. Perhaps she did more but her footage lost to the dramatic moments that Tommy supplied.

I had to laugh when Hilfiger told those women that Jeff made the right decision. Hahaha.

Seamonkey. I had to reset my Tivo to record this show's change from Thurday to Wednesday. It won't change nights or time slots unless I change it. It does not just respond to the title of the show.

I don't care for them much, either Ladytex. Those two women really were acting so nasty, carrying on and on about Jeff and the jacket. The other guy tried to point out that they had nothing to lose since they wouldn't have had the jacket either way. They just ignored him, ran over him like a steamroller and kept carrying on.

If you set up TiVo to record show-by-show, it records the time slot, not the show by name. If you set up a season pass for The Cut, it will record the show any time it's on if it's listed in the TiVo on-screen guide.

Ah.. well that sucks and I'm sure that is the case with the dvr too. Color, that is a great idea, but I'm lucky if I manage to set up the season.. I did have it set up on my DVR but clearly it didn't flow with this change.. I know my system has caught other changes in the past.. hmm well I just went to next Wednesday and redid the setting and it kept the old setting which did say All show times; record any day the show is on; record repeats and first-run.. which says to me it should have caught the change.. the only restriction was that it would record on KCBS 2 only but that shouldn't have mattered. Grr... technology is so wonderful, then we are sucked into depending on it, then it fails.

I think the the team who had to come up with designs reflecting the Native American theme were at a disadvantage from the start. Western wear is worn all over the place and there wasn't much needed to come up with some jeans, cotton shirts with trim, hats and boots. I was hoping for a little more originality from that group. That being said, I did not care at all for what the Native American style team came up with. It was very costumy without even really grasping the spirit of Native American culture.

Yeah it was costume-y but to me the other team's girl outfit looked like something from Walmart. Not that there's anything wrong with Walmart but it just looked cheap. I did like the jeans though.

Sea, Tom said it was lack of communication on the team that cost them - and Princess was team leader. I'm not sure what he was talking about because to me, she made exactly what the "on location" people told her to make (and they were the ones who were supposed to come up with the design). She disagreed with them but she did do what they said. I think she should have lost over her poor decision to let them go to New Mexico instead of her.

Seamonkey The task this week was Americana. The 2 teams were split into 2. Half of one team went to Arizona to look at Native American clothing and half from the other team went to Texas to look at cowboys. Each 'away' team then had to phone the home team with information on the clothes/look etc etc. Then they had to come back to the loft with stuff they had bought. Meanwhile the home teams had to make a start on the designs. The point of it all was to test communication skills. (There was no side trip party thing this week either.) Anyway Princess was on the team designing the native American clothing and wanted to do a more modern twist but she was kind of steam rolled and the end result was called costumey by Tommy H and they lost . The other team won with a very unoriginal (my opinion) cowboy jeans shirt boot hat thing. The side story was the Shauna / Jeff thing, where he ran out of time on an assignment and Shauna was playing that up on the runway to get him ditched but it kind of backfired and Tommy H congratulated Jeff much to Shauna's dismay. This must be the longest post I've ever written hope it made sense.

OK, does anyone here watch Monster House? I used to but don't anymore but when I did there was this guy named Jeff on who lied about being an electrician and couldn't do anything. He seemed totally crazy. And I just realized that the Jeff on here is the same guy! I'm way behind on my Tivo viewing (just watching the 6/30 show) but I'm sure it's the same guy! Has anyone else noticed that?

You know, I really wanted to like this show. But the tasks seem so over-the-top impossible to complete in the allotted time, and there is no logic to whom is being sent home each week. One week if you don't show leadership, you are gone. Another week, if you were the leader it's all your fault and you are gone. It must be lousy editing. Those "style forums" must go on longer than they show. I'm also irritated that some of the contestants (Jeff, Princess and Shauna are the ones that bug me the most) are still there. Jeff has really lucked out being on the winning team so much, hasn't he? On a positive note, I do love how they pick new teams each week. So, is anyone else still watching this?

I watched tonight. I couldn't believe it when Garment Gallery all sat there eating their dinner when that guy walked in. Here they had opened their store so much later then the other team and weren't at all prepared and then when someone finally comes in, they just blow him off. The right team won tonight and I don't think it had anything to do with numbers. And yes ~ I agree that the tasks are impossible with the given timeline. But then I feel as clueless as some of the contestants appear as to what Hilfiger is even looking for.

I agree that the tasks seem very difficult to complete with the amount of time they are given. I have only been watching for about the past three weeks. If I'm able to be in front of the TV when it's on, I'll probably continue to watch the rest. That one girl (named Jessica I think) seemed to really get over her flu fast. I thought it was funny she was saying how sick she was and then you see her sitting and eating a big sandwich when their store was finally open! Very tacky that some of them were sitting and eating like that. Geesh, we wouldn't even allow anyone to do that when I helped manage a music store years ago. You always went to the back room to eat!

The timeline makes no sense to me either. They accomplished a huge amount in the time given. It made little sense for James to go last night so I assume that Hilfiger just prefered Felix for some reaon we will never know. The criticism that Clothing Gallery was an inappropriate name struck me as odd. Comme Undone was clever but gives no indication that it sells clothes. I think he has his eye on several and he is just going about finding reasons to eliminate the others. There is no reason for Liz to still be there from what we see and Felix embarassed him but survived. ?? One thing we know for sure, do not step up and lead or you will walk the runway. James has a lousy team. Wonder how the Purple team got the number of the men who helped them with the car and why they were miraculously available? There are many loose strings with this show but I am enjoying it. James was on my list as a contender to win so I have no clue what Hilfiger is looking for.

I have the same criticism about The Apprentice. Some of the tasks just aren't given enough time to complete - forcing them to pull all-nighters. What harm is there in giving them an extra 8 hours to complete a task so they can get some rest. Physically, its just not good for anyone to go 24 hours without sleep. I don't like it one bit.
