oh tim gunn, my gbff, how i have missed you!

one episode in, and i am already hooked!


this appears to be a very talented - and young (for the most part) - cast. i was pleasantly surprised to see several contestants from the south...i don't think they have had many in the past. i loved watching the excitement the designers felt just to be on the show and to watch their finished creations being showcased on the runway. they have such a passion for their art, and you find yourself getting pulled in and joining in their excitement! i was a little worried for johnny - the former crystal meth addict - you could really see him starting to melt as the stress set in. i felt for him and was happy to see him pull through (though i wasn't as crazy about the cut of his dress as the judges). speaking of the judges - seriously? lindsay lohan? i don't get it. i wondered if she secretly enjoyed sending home ari, who is a dead ringer for lohan's on-again, off-again girlfriend, samantha ronson.


who is your initial favorite and least favorite? i find myself somewhat drawn to ramon-lawrence, the former med school student who decided to follow his passion for design. i'm so not liking nicolas - from the moment he showed up on screen, i immediately had a strong distaste for his attitude!

needless to say, i'm already hooked! what are your thoughts on the cast and their red carpet designs??
