So after last week's horrible episode in which Jason and googly-eye came back, Adejoke left (due to that bitch, Kim) and Sunny and J.Biffi remained as decent, personable designers. I'm ready for some karma to come Team Better's way.

Sorry Jessica, I love you, but you're not Alexander Wang (or did she say McQueen?) Regardless, I'm not convinced you can compete internationally. I'll truly make a judgement call when I see your entire collection.

Tailored suiting is this week's challenge.

Is Jason wearing neon Crocs?

Gen making Art Deco? Impossible. Her tailoring is horrendous.

"Thank You, Roselin" is not the same as "THANK YOU, MOOD!"

Jason's pink suit with white polka-dots? FML.

Sunny has model measurements...jealous.

Genvieve has an eye for proportion? Really? Since when?

School debt J.Biff? Me too.

Brian Bailey pointing at Sunny's stomach made me uncomfortable.

Jason is all gimmick, and no design.

"Challenge-card?" Like an internal memo?

Introduced a SECOND DESIGN?! Making lingerie? Oh.

"What is Charmeus? It sounds like a dessert. Something mousse." Way to break the model stereotypes girls.

JASON IS STRAIGHT? It took almost an entire season's worth of deliberation to find this out.

Wooooow, Jason is really playing up his heterosexuality. I'm almost waiting for him to crush a beer can on his head and talk about banging chicks, man.

How many of those peacock/dream catcher earrings does J.Biff own? In how many colours? The Aldo Accessories she bought them from must've made a killing.

"I would hurt small children..." J.Biff wins best line of the season.

Time for the runway:

Brian Bailey & David Dixon on the same show? Holy alliteration Batman!

Sunny: The suit was well designed. Best lingerie too.
Gen: Crooked, like her re-entry onto the show. That's not a slip- that's a dress.
J.Biffi.: Meh suit, but good idea. "Sweet-set" is exactly as how I would describe J. Biff's lingerie.
Jason: WTF?

Iman cut off Shawn. I LOVE IT.
Jason's mom must be a hot mess too then.
Iman's really grown on me.

Sunny won - AGAIN. JUST GIVE HIM THE TITLE.
Jason in the top 3? Hick. That spot belongs to Adejoke.
Jessica Biffi, I'll be seeing you at fashion week.

So, let me get this straight. Jessica and Sunny are from Toronto. And Jason is from Hamilton. No one from any other part of the country is going. What does that say about everywhere else? IRRELEVANT.

Live-blogging ProRunCan2

• Can I just say that I love how Iman says "Tempers will flare, hemlines will fly." I want it as my ringtone. I think about this every week.
• Iman is dressed like Mr. T in drag. I like it.
• Kim brushes her hair? Who knew.
• "I hope it's somewhere out of Canada." Me too J.Biff. Me too.
• I hate camping. ME TOO J.BIFF. ME TOO.
• 14 beers, a silver-fox stole...someone call PETA.
• I could not be in a car with Kim for any duration of time. One of us would not come out alive.
• Team challenge, again. Ridiculous.
• "I think Sunny picked Jessica because she won the last two challenges." WRONG KIM. Sunny picked her because they've won every challenge thus far.

• Annnnnd googly-eyes is back. And Jason is back too. FML.
• 2 eliminations tonight.
• "Gimme Shelter" Challenge.
• I like Adejoke and her dry sense of humor
• Kim, Genvieve and Jason (Team TPT) collectively look like carnies. So disgusting.
• "Get back to the city?" Really? Can one really go camping in Ottawa? Like...is it really a big transition?
• Genvieve: "We deserve to be here." No. You don't. You were kicked off
• I really feel for Sunny. He does work hard. I hope he takes this challenge
• The flash of Toronto makes me yearn for ProRun set in a real city
• Kim's not a designer...Adejoke's vocab and demeanour is leaps and bounds ahead of Kim.
• Sunny + Kenny's picture is ridiculous! Is that the best they could find?! Oh my!

• Adejoke's mom: "My house is clean!" That's something my parents would say.
• Kim doesn't have any friends. Sucks for her. Maybe Kim doesn't have anything to go back to because her attitude sucks and she's not a talented designer.
• I still cannot believe Kim brushes her hair.
• TEAM JESSICA, ADEJOKE AND SUNNY FTW
• Kim's styling is so similar to the styling from Nada over Toronto Fashion Week. Obviously this was taped before, but I hated it on the Nada runway, and I hate on the ProRun runway.

Runway:

• Yellow on Iman looks hot. You go David Bowie!
• Team TPT:
• Genvieve: Apron shirt. Silver-detail looks like birthday tinsel.
• Jason's ...thing...is...horrible. What is it? I don't understand.
• Team angel/demon:
• Kim's out. She has to be. WTF? Ola anyone? Remember that store? \ Adejoke's outfit fits in with Sunny and J. Biff's.
• Team Please Win:
• Sunny's looks like a Lady Gaga costume. The execution is divine.
• Jessica: Cohesive with Sunny's for sure.

• Kim needs to stop starting shit in the green room. THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB OR HAVE A HOME.
• Honestly, kudos for J.Biff for keeping her cool. She deserves a medal. Kim is such a miserable person. "I chuckled." STFU.
• Shawn and Iman hate each other. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them wouldn't be there next season.
• Two winners? Scores? There is no way that their execution and concept is nowhere close to theirs. None at all.
• Adejoke does not deserve to leave. I'm actually quite upset. Kim should be ashamed that her outfit caused Adejoke's dismissal. Total mess of a season.
• So Adejoke is out, thanks to friendless Kim. Go back to Vancity. Kim is also out...if that's any consolation.
• Sunny, J.Biff, Jason and Genvieve won.

p.s. This conversation about Jason and Kim at the campfire makes my life:

Rafay says:
is he gay? I can't figure it out.

Mags says:
who cares. they're perfect for each other

R says:
help me understand

Mags says:
their chemistry extends further than traditional gender binary
.

Live-blogging ProRunCan2 - Ep6

• Iman's bubble-vest hurts my life- it's sea foam with a leopard trim. Oh my.
• "A sticky situation," Iman seems to be loving the puns recently. The challenge is about Post-Its
• I really wish they would give them fabric and real models
• The challenge is about Post-It gowns for breast cancer survivors
• Other Jackie Adejoke is also wearing a vest, it's not nearly as loud. Which is too bad.
• Sunny crying is so sad. His father died of cancer. I hope he wins and I don't even know his design.
• Other Jackie Adejoke's voice is cracking and it now seems that everyone is crying
• I think Jessica Biffi has a beard- I can't tell.
• Wings? Kim is making wings? Foam wings? GO HOME. "Are wings fashionable?" NO.
• Post-iting is now a word because Sunny says so.
• I can't get over Jason's wardrobe/life/facial hair/hair/jewellery choices
• Brian Bailey gives horrible advice. "From the desert to the oasis," is not constructive.
• Kim: "What girl doesn't feel like great when she wears wings?" UM? ALL OF THEM OVER THE AGE OF 6. Unless they come in the form of on a sanitary pad, wings should not be worn on a woman unless you're a Victoria's Secret angel (even this is questionable).
• So is Jason gay? He's throwing my gaydar way off. The Elton John-esque earring says gay, while his flirtatiousness with Kim makes me think he's not strictly-dickly. The white linen pants say gay, but the fact that he can't coordinate them properly says that he's not strictly-dickly. So confused.
• WAIT. An ad for http://www.designitwithpostit.ca/ is giving away money AND a lunch with Brian Bailey. Can I just have the money? What would I say to him? My only question would be "Why are you not Tim Gunn?"
• "She's not a fashion designer, she's a fashion regurgitate-r." Possibly genius. Yes.
• Jason needs to learn how to design to not simply just keep adding arbitrary things. Fashion isn't about "adding drama."
• Jason also speaks in third person. Remind you of anyone?
• "Ba-Rue makeup." I love the French.
• "GLA-MORE," another reason I love the French.
• I sense a Kim vs. Biffi bitch fest. I was on team Kim until Jeff got kicked off. She's definitely the weakest link now. Along with Jason. Double-elimination would be great, except this won't happen seeing as how the first episode saw about 7 people leave.
• Marie Saint Pierre! I love her.

• Genieve - The dress is a lit better than I imagine. It's stiff and a little boxy.
• Jason- Horrible. Just...wow.
• Other Jackie Adekoke- Tacky! Tarzan Jane?
• Kim - the leaves are gorgeous. Everything else is horrible.
• Jessica - Well lucky for her she has immunity.
• Sunny - It's the least paper-y. The bottom is gorgeous. The bustier? Meh. The colour is to severe for the elegant bottom.

• "Bye bitches!" I think I love Other-Jackie.
• Everyone is hating on Shawn! Uh-Oh!
• "A Papier-mâché dress with a train! That's a train wreck!" IMAN! YOUR PUNS! SO MANY!
• "I Didn't like it from the get-go, I didn't like it from the go-get! How about that?!" AND AGAIN! OH MY IMAN!
• The winner: Jessica Biffi...this is rigged. Sunny's was the superior design.
• You just don't measure up: JASON!
• Jason's model passed away shortly after this episode. So sad. Two people have died on this season alone. Sadness.
• Next episode: Special guest COCO ROCHA?! SHUT UP AND GET OUT. I can't wait for next week's episode, the first real episode this season! Hurrah!

Live-blogging ProRunCan2 - Ep5

• Kim described the last runway show as "super lame-town."
• Iman looks like a black Cher Barbie- Gypsies, tramps and thieves!
• Divorcees are this week's models- "Something New, Something Old"
• Ex-wife of the Ottawa mayor is Kim's model
• Jeff's model has a list! Oh my! She wants the dress black!? Debbie? Last name Downer?
• Christian Amanpour + Mick Jagger = Sunny Wong's model
• Baylor is doing a backless sari- WHAT? I smell trouble.
• Adejoke's model also has a list...Festive? Happy? Is this Christmas party or a dress?
• Have they been able to make any designs with new fabric yet? This is ridiculous. Everything is recycled - is ProRunCan going green or are the designers so dull they must rely on gimmick?
• Jason is a one-trick pony, I agree Sunny, I agree.
• Stained fabric - oh my, Ottawa mayor! You rascal!
• "This feels like my grandmother; old and gross!" Thanks Kim.
• I swear the designers said "Hi Tim Gunn," in unison
• "Sexy ho?" Brian Bailey, you tool.
• Is Jeff working with a bathroom mat?
• "Bum detail," Thanks Biffi, sounds technical.
• Is "cleav" short for cleavage? Really?
• I normally don't give much leeway for boo-hoo-hoos on runway, but I kinda understand where Kim is coming from- I understand her quip about the fabric. This really is getting ridiculous because I have yet to see real, utter, true design from anyone.
• So I predict either Jeff, Kim or Genvieve are going home
• And I think Sunny, Jessica or Adejoke are going to come out on top
• Sunny said "making it work" - I died a little bit inside.
• I love that Adejoke's model used the word "embellished!"
• Jeff's model seems kinda bitchy. So does Jeff. Passive-aggressiveness ruins lives.
• Baylor really had it the easiest I think. The fabric is kinda fug though.
• Uh-oh, all the divorcees are now rehashing past relationships
• Jeff's laugh is obnoxious. Kenley's was more so.
• Jessica's dress seems awful. I retract my earlier statement about her being in the top.
• Jeff's model is MISERABLE.
• With all this white, ivory, lace and creme-and one black sheep-this feels like this weekend's Oscars all over again (we even have our own Jolie!)
• Runway!
• Adejoke- Reitmans anyone? The bust doesn't fit properly.
• Sunny- I like it, it's wearable and chic
• Gen- kind of a mess- the styling is horrid
• Baylor- the length of the skirt is all wrong- horrid.
• Jessica- It's not terrible, but very Le Chateau.
• Jeff- EVERY week someone does that stupid side-thigh slit- EVERY week. That is the trashiest and unflattering slit ever known to humankind.
• Kim- WHAT? I have no words. The dress looks like something pulled from the Titanic wreckage.
• Jason's lab-technician model looks like Kate plus Eight. That is not a compliment.
• KIM! Speaking up! Oh my God! Whoa. She is right though. Oh, the fighting continues backstage!
• Kim's right. She will cut you! She probably hides a shank in her hair!
• Sunny does deserve to win. But I think Jason might take it.
• "Who's sari now?" Oh, Iman! Your use of puns excites me!
• Kim should go because her YSL was a mess. And Baylor has been consistently better. But Kim makes for better television. Longest elimination ever?
• Sunny wins! Three in a row! Uh-oh, I know this narrative- what goes up must come down.
• You just don't measure up: Baylor! Aww. I'm kinda sad. He was such a quiet, cool and composed guy. Did Brian suggest that hugging him brings good luck?

Side note: Brian Bailey can totally kick Philip Seymour Hoffman's ass if he went for an open audition for the priest's part in Doubt. Am I right or am I right?

Live-blogging ProRunCan2 - Episode 4

• Challenge: Couture designs based on famed fashion houses
  
  Team 1- YSL
  Brandon
  Baylor
  Kim
  
  Team 2- Valentino
  Jessica
  Jeff
  Jason
  
  Team 3- Versace
  Sunny
  Adejoke
  Genvieve
  
  
• How does Brandon not know YSL? I knew YSL as a tween
• Brian Bailey's mustache needs it's own postal code
• My mom just asked for the dictionary definition of dominatrix. Hm.
• Brandon cannot even pronounce Yves St. Laurent - ARE YOU JOKING?
• Special fabric? Unless this is Mood, (or Diane Von Furstenberg's textile room) I am not impressed
• I've been to Preloved- it's right here in Toronto
• Two minutes to gather vintage materials on clothes lines
• Valetino Team picked all the red- smart move- if they keep this up, they will ace this challenge
• Special guest? GASP!
• Can I just say how lovely it is to not have Christie on the show anymore? "It's lovely."
• I like Sunny's entire demeanor
• Sunny found a stain on the pants - that's gross
• Brandon's face is, as Tim Gunn would say, "a whole lotta look."
• Brandon looks like someone who thinks Ed Hardy is high fashion...
• Jason vs. Jessica - I feel a tantrum/breakdown about to happen - any minute now..."Fly or flip-out" Yup.
• Who is the special guest? Iman? Fashion magic? I just love the way she says "couture!"
• I don't see Valentino being Jeff's favourite designer
• YSL used Iman as his muse? Iman loves talking about herself more than Tyra
• Team Versace's colours work well
• Team YSL does look like Commes Des Garcon - tailoring isn't there. I don't understand how Kim can make something hers when she isn't anything to begin with...
• Genvieve just said "if our collection eats ass..." and I feel gross.
• Jessica's breakdown arrived, a litter later than expected, but it's here. I hear sobbing. "I want this so bad," needs to be banned from reality T.V. She also just squealed
• Couture Streetwear? Fail. Sorry Kim, you can sit down. That wasn't the challenge.
• Kim's sweater looks more like Old Navy than YSL
• Jessica will either win or go home- there is nothing else for her.
• Adejoke and Sunny talking shit...but they're right.
• Jason in a white shirt and bright red tie is the epitome of Hamilton chic
• Jason is padding up his model- I think Laura II is hiring a merchandiser
• EVEN THE L'OREAL TEAM KNOWS WHO YSL IS.
• The makeup for Valentino screams Valentino- fresh-faced with a light, bright red lip.
• Kim is bothering me- a lot.
• No one here is going to be successful - I can tell. No one is a Biddel, Lucien or Andy. They all lack that certain "oomph."
• I hate Wayne Clark- he's such a hack. Is he the best we have?
• Team Versace:
• Sunny's is Verscae- circa 1997
• Genvieve- Not Versace...if the styling changed- this would not be Versace at all
• Adjeoke- I hate the slit...the whole thing actually...sloppy
• Team Valentino:
• Jessica- It's not as bad she she's making it out to be
• I like Jeff's quite a bit.
• Jason- WHAT
• Team YSL:
• Kim- This is not YSL at all...so Brandon and her both don't know who YSL is
• Baylor- I like it
• Brandon's outfit's crotch gives me nightmares
• I'm glad they called out Brandon and Kim
• Kim's outfit looks like something out of Pink Tartan's first collection
• Winner: Sunny!
• You just don't measure up: Brandon! His face drips of stupidity...Go back to Barrie.

At the end of the episode, a picture of Dario pops up on and TV and it's noted that he passed away after several years of battling cancer. That's really sad- I'm sure that had he stuck around, he would be a leading contender. Rest in Peace Dario.

LiveBlogging ProRun2 - Ep 3

• Brandon's nail polish is ridiculous - I have an aversion to chipped polish on a woman and an even greater to chipped polish on a guy
• Group challenge time!
• I kinda like Kim
• Adejoke is duller than drying paint
• Today's challenge is.....lame.
• Jason is from Hamilton. Figures.

• Tatters? Boobs are tatters?
• Jessica "White-suburban girl all yo yo yo," is getting tired
• Christie is miserable - the fact that she announces that broad shoulders are over is absurd because shoulder pads are just being welcomed back into the fashion world
• Sunny and Baylor need to hook-up
• I can't even describe how Jason dresses - he's like a bargain-bin gay gigolo
• Christie shouldn't' be wearing yellow. Also, she needs to bathe. Also, she needs to realize that "not doing what I want," is part of Project Runway

• Jason is now dressed like a baby-seal-cum-90's-era-white-thug
• "I'm having confidence issues, y'know." GOD I HATE CHRISTIE...where does he shop?
• The more I watch, the more dull these contestants seem
• Gluing garments together worries me
• Brandon is just a big bag of eyes, lips, mouth and obnoxiousness
• The Winners ads are fiercer than the show and it's 'fashions'
• Iman in yellow makes sense, not Christie

Runway!

• Adjeoke- I'm glad she edits her work
• Brandon- Bad prom
• Baylor- Tulle makes no sense
• Sunny- I can appreciate it I guess
• Jessica- I like the dress and it moves well
• Jeff- For it being glued and pinned- AMAZING (but they don't match!)
• Christie- Badly sewn, fitted and coordinated
• Jason- Not sure what do think- I do like the back
• Kim- Fashion student project
• Genvieve- I hate it
• Guest judge had nothing to say- which is fair because his designs themselves often do not say much at all
• Hewson's wearing an Addicted to Biddell t-shirt

Winners: Sunny and Baylor

You just don't measure up: Christie! THANK YOU- THERE IS A GOD!

Live-blogging ProRunCan2- Episode 2

• Iman's outfit is horrendous; the David Bowie shirt is tacky because it's Iman wearing it.
• Once again- why is this set in Ottawa? Why? I.just.don't.understand.
• Elisha Cuthbert's eyebrows are the things nightmares are made of.
• Is Elisha the best Canadian celebrity we could find? Really?
• They are at a fabric store that is not Mood. Le sigh.
• Christie is absolutely vile
• Jason is absolutely vile
• Brandon is absolutely vile
• Jason's G-Unit tank top is offending all my senses at once- simultaneously
• Brandon is really annoying - and his face also offends all my senses. Also, simultaneously.
• Brandon is also wearing nail polish
• Brandon stole the design? DUN DUN DUN!

• Margarita calling Brandon out - good. Brandon is such a queen.
• Brandon's face is ridiculous- he might be reason I stop watching this show
• Genvieve is not MG from season 1. : (
• Jessica Biffi is kinda gangsta, yo.
• Baylor and Sunny would make a cute couple. They also exude quiet confidence.

• Christie's dress looks like a horrible prom. She needs to GTFO.
• Christie's headband wrath continues.
• I just caught a glimpse of Brandon's dress before the break- WHAT. WHAT. WHAT.
• I wonder if Margarita and Brandon will be in the bottom 2? I predict yes.

• Stretch fabric is always a hot mess
• Kim's dress fits horribly
• Brandon's dress belongs on the ice. Or a street corner.
• Ass cheeks fill my screen. I feel awkward.
• 20 mins to runway

• Sunny - I like it, could have done more with it
• Genevieve - I like it
• Margarita - HORRID - she seems so cool, but her designs suck

• Christie - boooooring
• Baylor - meh
• Brandon - Roooooxanne!

• This season has been utter drivel up to this point.
• Shawn Hewson agrees about the figure-skating dress.

Next week: Christie cries again, a group challenge, Christie cries, Christie wears a purple headband (oooo), Christie has a breakdown. Great.

• Ottawa? What? There's nothing fashion about Ottawa (sorry Krystal!) This reminds me of Canada's Next Top Model being set in rural British Columbia. This makes no sense. Montreal or Toronto- only.
• Brian Bailey will never be Tim Gunn. Never, ever.
• House full of hipsters- AmericanApparel headband is so 2008
• Iman looks ashy- use some lotion bb
• The challenge seems interesting enough- a better concept than most of the American challenges last season. Army print versus 'natural' prints from the natural world.
• Everyone from Vancouver looks dirty, unkempt and in tatters
• Jeffery Mackinnon does not look 41. At all
• People with anxiety disorders should just not join competitive reality TV shows
• Jessica Biffel seems like she would be a lot of fun- or a preening drama queen (also a lot of fun)

• Commercial over and crying continues. Jaclyn is a mess. Why does their workstation look like something from a lunar landing? Ominous
• Jaclyn is being taken away in a gurney and has left the competition
• Danio will either be amazing or fall really short
• Christie is a cunt
• Adejoke and her ethnic prints = Korto Momolu from ProRunUS? Y/Y?
• Magarita or Maggie or Mag-doll is pretty bad ass, not gonna lie
• Brandon is the token loudmouth queen- but he's hating on Christie, so I'm on his team.
• Sunny Fong = fierce AZN
• I hope Danio's legs can keep in
• Jason Myers is a gay, white thug with Elton John cross earring? I don't get it
• Camille - YA!
• No offense to anyone- but did they get all these people from the ER?
• Poor Dario
• Baylor- did they just throw him in or was he always there?
• 10 mins to showtime!
• Joe Zee- YOU ARE NOT MICHAEL KORS

My reactions to the runway:

• Baylor - meh
• Camille - awful (she needs to wash her hair STAT)
• Christie - Kenley (Jem much?)
• Sunny - Love the hood, I have a problem with the skirt
• Magarita - awful
• Adejoke - I like it
• Brandon - I think he missed the memo
• Jason - Flintstone chic?
• Kim - Trying too hard
• Jeff - Mother of the Bride
• Genvieve - Fashion Student
• Jessica - Not terrible, not great

• Jason, how are you going to go infront of Iman in a tank-top?
• Sunny's jacket is great, the skirt is AWFUL
• I predict Camille will leave

...And Camille is out.
