Hey, it's about to start... Jack takes a lot of pills, man, but nice tits, huh? And why is the fat dude making fun of Christian? And I wish Jack would stop doing that thing with his eyes. Hey, no models? What's this no models shit? And, hey, nice tits on Jack, huh? This whole episode gonna be about Jack's tits. Tiki Barbar? "None of us really know who he is."

She won't touch the male model's body because she only likes to touch her boyfriend's body? Does that mean she wears all-over body condoms when she walks down Manhattan?

The challenge was abusive, and, as the results proved, rewarded TAILORING not DESIGN. It's supposed to be a design show.

Jack won with a shirt. Big whoop. There are a thousand old guys in Hong Kong who could turn out that same shirt in an hour. It's an eighty-year old design -- men's dress shirts haven't changed since they started sewing the cuffs and collars on instead of buttoning them on.

Sweet Pea screwed up, but the ONLY DIFFERENCE between her shirt and Jack's shirt is the tailoring. Her tailoring sucks; she's never done men's before. But as DESIGN hers was no worse than Jack's, really. I'm not saying she shouldn't have been in the bottom, but the criteria for separating them was deeply hosed.

Ricky's was bad tailoring too. Stupid bitch Heidi said "just a boring suit", but what the fuck do you think Tiki Barber wears every day? And Kors -- what a fat, pompous asshole -- he couldn't tailor a suit by himself in a month, I'll bet, and look what he fucking wears every week -- a fucking black t-shirt. And Nina, oh, I just want to break her nose.

I guess it's fun to beat the shit out of the contestants, and to watch. I think it was a crappy challenge because of the unrealistic time constraint. In the end, the right person got aufed, for the wrong reason, and the winner was just WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

The problems with Jack are numerous. First his face looks like he had a botched face lift at some point or several bad botox injections.

Jack's face looks like he's had collagen injections to overcome facial lipoatrophy (wasting) that sometimes occurs in HIV-positive people. His current look is probably many times better than the near-death skeletal appearance he'd have otherwise. (Speaking from experience here.)

There are other possible treatments, but the collagen is least invasive and less likely to be irreversibly botched.

I think this challenge was designed to weed out the terrible sewers. Seems like this is an issue every season -- great sewer does not equal great designer, and vice versa. You could have an excellent designer who can't sew a suit in 2 days, and therefore gets the boot. It's a problem with the show, but there's not much of a way around it...

And it was an incredibly abusive challenge. I was really hoping they'd send in surprise guest Nick from Season 2 to lend some assistance. Total missed opportunity. Also: take a shot each time Ricky cries. And: I still want to die every time Christian says FIERCE!

Season 3's overabundance of straight men skeezed me out, and I'm glad they're back to the "one straight boy only, please" rule of Season 2--and I like Kevin way more than Daniel Franco.

Also adorable: Jack carrying Christian into the workroom (in the bag one time, in his arm another). I know it probably makes the rest of ya'll gag, but I'm waiting for it to escalate into something seriously pornographic.

Ricky has not only the hottest female model, he also got the best male model for this challenge, build/skintone-wise, considering the client. Shenanigans. And he's not even using it to his advantage.

Every single past-contestant blogger (Nick V., Santino, Jay McC.) is completely in love with Elisa. Either they know something we don't about her, or ...well, they know something we don't about her.

Am I the only one who has at-a-glance trouble telling Sweet P from Kit Pistol?

and seriously all the ads for Tim Gunn's new show made me want to smash the television. How many times can we see the same promo?!?! At least they could have made 2 different ones to cycle through every single commerical break.

They are not the same besides the tailoring. Jack chose a bias cut on the front seam and the pocket which, while not a huge deal, is exactly the type of detail you have to do to make menswear interesting. Menswear is so freaking boring most of the time and it's only those details that will make anything stand out. You can't go too far out there, however, or someone like Tikki Barber, who SAID he embraced color, will wimp out when he sees a purple shirt (like the straight guy's design).

Sweet P couldn't even make a boring button-down interesting.
