Woman who won is Liz. Spiky haired guy is David. Guy who had no clue what he did wrong is JD. Asian woman is Amy. The ABC web site sux rox for this show.

Also, interestingly enough, don't go look at wikipedia. They are already showing who won, although I dunno how right they are (the chart shows the wrong bottom 2, but the text below for the episode does include the correct 2).

The stylist was shoving things in the contestant's bag before they had a chance to say no no.I dont think that was fair.

Ok, I came back to this show after watching last season. I had fun laughing at it last year.

One thing I do like about the new season is the addition of Carson Kresley. I think he can be hysterical. I'm glad they got rid of umm, what's her name, the model. I was sorry to see they had Vanessa back. I thought she did a horrible job last season. I sort of like Howard Stern's wife.

I like Carson, but I'm not sure about the other one (the model, who's an ex of Howard Stern's?). And yeah, I'm not a Vanessa fan, thought she was awful last season, and all indicators are she'll be the same this season. Bummer, actually.

But this show IS a train wreck. It never fails to amaze me, the egos of some people. Like what's his name (spiky guy, David) who just walked over the woman who was basically crouched on the ground in front of him. Total self-involvement, that one.

The model is Beth Ostrosky, and she's Howard Stern's current wife. She seems nice, but she is very spacey and dingy. She's been doing the rounds on all the talk shows this past month promoting her new book about caring for your pets.

Wasn't the model last season Cheryl Tiegs.. and she was terrible and useless, imo. So is Vanessa.

The cheat may have seemed unfair, but they did have a very specific amount as their maximum and they have used enablers before.

so glad someone started a thread for this show. Watched it last year and My favourite part is when the Portrait is put in the garbage by the janitor!!! LOL that scene runs a close second to Joe Schmo and the Ceremonial Plate smashing when a eviction took place. You are DEAD to us!!


Anyways, I digress.

Thought this cast has a mix of the usual selfabsorbed Deluded individuals clamouring for fame.

Hey no bashing my spikey haired guy. those teeth are so bright he could take over for Rudolph on Santas sleigh.
But that isnt the best part, he has very striking bone structure for Photography. I can see him as a very successful model if he kept his mouth shut and worked on a Zoolander brooding look.

I was shocked he was kept. Rewatch the Lady with Dog segment LOL He shoved by her and she fell to the ground LOL

In defense of the guy accused of stealing, i saw it a bit differently. To me the clerk was offering to Help Them out. Considering they were just earrings, i would Assume that the Clerk was happy to pay for them so she could be on TV. I wouldnt automatically think that i personally was stealing them.

I think the poor guy was eliminated due to his poor choice of costume. That two dollar hooker drag queen look was terrible. WHY would he do that? Like Carson said (i think) if you are going to dress like a women, do it right.

SO i do really like this show. i think the Offical setup is better being done well before the elimination.

Remember last season some Spontaneous situation always happened right before they went in the door?

Welcome Sunshyne4u.
I am glad you mentioned the portrait in the garbage can. I loved that part last year.

I watched Joe Schmo too. What a nice guy Joe was. I think his attitude changed the whole theme of the show.

Pamy, I agree about Joe Schmo. There was something about Joe that made you love the guy.

The woman who encouraged the stealing was not a store employee, she was the "stylist" from the show. They should have known the stealing was not a perk given by the store and the store would suffer the loss.

If I EVER acted, thought of acting like those people.... I would have got a spanking. And not from my husband - but my mother. OMG.

They called her a "stylist" but I don't think they said if she was supposedly from the show or from the shop. I thought she was a shop stylist.

I thought she was an actress posing as a stylist. She wasn't a real one, that's for sure. And as far as the ego driven contestants, I don't think they really cared. There was someone there to help them, more or less, and that's all they needed to hear.

I think, as a general rule, though, most smaller shops don't have in-house stylists. So the contestants would've figured she was "hired" to help them decide their "Las Vegas look."

She was an actress portraying a stylist hired by the show to see if the contestants would steal. The contestants were told they were going to have a stylist help them put their outfits together.

I have never been to a shop with a stylist. I didn't know stylists actually existed.

One great thing about TVCH is that with all the stuff going on in the world we can come here and get away from it all.

What we discuss here isn't "important" but it sure is fun.

I have a personal stylist. She says, "Grandma, NO! That is not a look for you." and I never wear that outfit around her again. At 15 she knows everything anyone would ever know about style.

Rachel Zoe is a stylist. Most of the red carpet stars have their own stylists. Many of the high end department stores have resident stylists available to help you select your wardrobe.

Are the department store "stylists" what we used to call "personal shopper"? they put together wardrobes with accessories.

Yeah, pretty much. Stylists to the stars usually help them get dressed for an event, such as a movie premiere or awards show. They provide them with several different options and then accessorize the looks.

Personal shoppers, OTOH, actually help the buyer purchase an entire wardrobe, more than just a specific look for a specific event.

Department stores still have personal shoppers. Generally, a stylist is an outside individual (not affliated with a certain store/brand) who is hired to put outfits together for someone.
Like Cost said, many celebrities hire them to put together their outfits for various functions.

Oh. You can bring your own stylist into a department store to help you with an outfit. Or you can hire a personal shopper associated with the store to help you buy an outfit or an entire wardrobe. At the high end stores. I dunno about Kohl's (never shopped there but guessing they don't have personal shoppers!).
