Epperson, also robbed.<br /><br />I weep when I think of what some designer with a working knowledge of film noir could have done with a big set of shoulderpads and a pillbox hat.

Sad. Nicolas wins for his ice queen skating get-up, and Christopher's awesome outfit gets the shaft. Nice theme for the elimination challenge. Nina and Michael Kors need to come back to the show pronto. Lifetime is editing and PG'ing the show within an inch of its life.

There was a time, and it wasn't even that long ago, when people knew the cultural milestones from film, literature, theater whatever... at least in a shallow way. <br /><br />now it seems like people just stare at you blankly or laugh like "what's that?" about <b>incredibly famous</b> things. If it's not star wars or wizard of oz or things that are THAT ubiquitous in culture it seems like people don't know it.<br /><br />[nathaniel is getting old and crotchety].

I was rooting for Epperson this time, and thought they'd give it to him. I also thought whats-her-name who did the flapper outfit was unfairly maligned, but then I like her in general.<br /><br />I also am expecting Christopher to win. He's so clearly their favorite, and is always in the top three. But that type has lost before after making it to Bryant Park. <br /><br />I'm thinking the top 3 will be Chris, Shirin, and either Althea, Carol Hannah, or the bitchy girl who won the newspaper challenge (forgot her name).<br /><br />But I like this group overall now that the bad seeds are gone (Qrystel and Mitchell brought the whole group down).adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-69148024905277134332009-09-27T23:20:18.508-04:002009-09-27T23:20:18.508-04:00I'm rooting for Shirin.
