Last week on The Cut: The show moved to Fridays, aka the land of the low ratings, Felix confirmed that, indeed, he IS a grown-ass man, and the Invisible Man mysteriously dissapeared on his trip down the runway. Who will be out of style this week? And, most importantly, will anyone care?
Ok, so does anyone NOT know how this show is going to start off? Really, the only enjoyable thing is the theme song. And even that annoys me at times. Although, I will admit that it's fun seeing some of the ex-contestants in the credits that were entirely unmemorable. Anyone remember Chris S. or Amy? You know, that man that didn't talk until the episode that he got cut and that... random woman that was just kinda there? No? I didn't think so.
When the episode finally gets underway, the contestants get back to the SoHo loft and lament the loss of Rob. Well, everyone for Wes, who tells us that he's got to kick up the evil factor up a notch, Emeril, BAM! Ok, well... maybe not exactly that way.
The teams arrive at this cool place where there are two looking bridges, and the challenge this week is to create a cool advertising campaign. This means that everyone will be judged individually. Hehehehe... I'm smelling some disasters already. Bwahaha! Tommy tells the teams that they'd better start a-rushin', and they run off to the cabs for no apparent reason. I mean, they're RIGHT THERE. And you're going to get stuck in traffic anyways. Yeeeeesh.
Deanna is the first to arrive at the place, and she picks out her person before anyone even gets back. Felix and Elizabeth arrive soon off of her heels, and everyone else catches up quickly. Wes is the last to arrive, and gets stuck with a person who appears to shoot... naked men. If the previews give any hint of what's going to happen in this challenge, it's a perfect fit.
The model-choosing whirlwind begins and ends quickly, and the only two important things that I notice are that Princess picks YaYa of ANTM fame, and the man says that Chris has the most ideas out of everyone. After choosing their models, the seven contestants are off and planning in their cabs. Wes' idea involves baseball, and he asks the person he's talking to on the phone if they have multi-colored jock straps. I cringe. Shauna, on the other hand, is having a problem deciding exactly what she wants to do, since her original tugboat plan isn't going to work out. Liz wants her model wearing a ballroom gown made of American Flags in Grand Central Park. Muy interesante.
After a break, Wes finds his location - an indoor baseball cage. Wes mentions that his model will be eating a hotdog and will have mustard all over himself. I choke just thinking about all the horrible, horrible sexual innuendoes. Princess goes down to Wall Street for her shoot, and Felix mentions that his idea might be a little bit contrived, which automatically spells disaster. Over in Deanna's corner, she picks out some random, cool-looking dresses, and Chris wants to make the female version of himself in all Tommy clothing. Chris, you suck-up you.
Back at the SoHo loft that night, Liz asks Wes what his idea is, and he gives it to her and Felix in all of it's sexually undertone-ic glory. And, in the quote we've all been waiting for, Felix says that Wes' idea is very, very... gay. No, not in the sixth grade sense - it's actually very gay. I'd expect it on the cover of The Advocate, actually.
The next morning, Liz meets with her model, and puts the non-cut American Flag dress, and Shauna is completely confused, lost, and alone because her photographer is sending so many ideas through her head that she's not prepared for and the dress that she wants the model to wear isn't the best fit. Poor Shauna... so... few... friends... to get her out of the many things that she can't understand about fashion... Back at Deanna's photo shoot, her model is extremely cold, but she looks, as Deanna would say, "FIERCE". Wes' photo shoot goes off without a hitch after the hotdogs are ditched and replaced by bubblegum. Chris' model doesn't seem to understand the meaning of "lost", as her looks switches between confused and sexkitten. Princess' photo shoot appears to go off without a hitch, as does Liz's. Although Felix has a small window of opportunity, he appears to get a good shot. Shauna's model looks like a blue-haired alien that needs to wear more clothing, floating above a taxi, but she seems to be happy with the shot anyways. Later that night, the seven survey their shots, and only Felix is dissapointed in his shots. Yet again, he's convinced that his buttocks is on the chopping block, and nobody really believes him because, well, he's only liable to go home when he thinks he did a good job. Remember Sundance, anyone?
The contestants arrive at the style forum and Tommy starts off by asking them how they liked their challenge. They all loved it, and he announces that he's going to bring his guest out, and he is... Carl Landerfo, or something like that. He walks in like he's stoned, and everyone is amazed. He says that Shauna's is hard to understand, and that Wes' is easy to understand. He then rips through Deanna's and Princess', saying that theirs were too high fashion. He likes Liz's idea and Felix's concept, as well as Chris'. Tommy gives the results, finally, saying that Liz has won the challenge, and he drags Shauna, Felix, and Deanna into the pit. He says that Felix's doesn't sell clothes, Deanna's was too today, and Shauna didn't take enough control. When he asks Felix who should go, he says himself, and everyone shoots their eyes at him, accompanied by the usual dramatic music. In the end, Shauna is out of style for not being in charge, and absolutely nobody is surprised. And nobody really cares. Ha! I was right!
Next week - TWO designers are eliminated! At once! That means I'm recapping for one less week! WOOOOOHOOOO!!!!!
Did you actually care about Shauna's elimination? If so, my mistake. I hereby give you permission to shoot painful daggers at my spine in the form of hate-mail. Boredsim133@yahoo.com. I won't laugh at it. I promise.
Great recap Bored. I have to say this was my favorite epi yet. Mostly because it contained a lot of what I was expecting before this show began. :S

You better hope Fanatic doesn't see this part of the recap. It's Karl Lagerfeld and he's one of the world's notorious fashion designers. You might want to google him. He's pretty fascinating!
You get me some chili cheese Fritos and a 6-er of Michelob Ultra and this indiscretion won't be past on to Fan. B)
