One for three (A Project Model Chef update post)

Dear Project Runway judges,

I'm sorry but you can't have it both ways. You can't bitch week after week that the designers are not pushing the creative envelope and then kick them off when one actually does push it. Sure, his sci fi dress wasn't the best thing Ra'Mon has ever done but it looked like it belonged in a sci fi movie.
Kicking him off was inexcusable. The brother is more talented than most any of the people still left, and that goes double for Louise and Logan, both of whom should have been booted this week. They both did boring work that was in no way in the same league creatively with Ra'Mon.

And while I'm at it, you judges got the winning design wrong as well. Christopher should have won. That dress he made was chic, stunning, and so fashion forward that people in the future will be pointing to it as an example of good timeless good design. By naming that fat faced greasy haired Nicholas the winner you have increased the amount of smarm he'll inflict on us in the future. He's already insufferable enough, of course he's one of those know it all New Yorkers who denigrates everything that did not come out of that city, so you've put us all on dangerous ground you Project Runway judges. Damn you!

Yours,
Dr. Monkey


Dear Project Runway designers,

What the feck were you thinking letting this woman go?

She is stunning and she'd look great in sack cloth and ashes. You let my girl Fatma go and you kept that boring bean pole Asian chick Celine with the bad hair cut? And you kept Kojii and that horrid Vanessa? Seriously? You all really fecked this one up.

I'm putting you all on notice. And you better not be letting my girls Tanisha and Kalyn, and Katie go.

Consider yourselves warned.

Warily yours,
Dr. Monkey


Dear sweet, sweet wonderful Top Chef,

I loved this weeks show beyond words. It was beautiful, wonderful, and fantastic. It was a joy to behold and a treasure for the eyes and ears. And do you want to know why I loved it so?

It's because it was a Gail Simmons free episode! Oh how I hate that pampered little rich girl and her attitude of entitlement. She strikes me as someone who has never worked a day in her life and yet who expects all those around her to work their asses off to please her. Her voice grates on my last nerve, if I were a contestant on your show and one critical word came out of her fish mouth in my direction I'd leap across that table and sever her vocal cords with a rusty tin can lid. And she's not attractive and yet she parades about as if she is. I don't take anything she says seriously and I can only hope that she's gone for good.

Thanks for bringing the Brit back. Toby Young rules. He's harsh but fair and super best of all, he's no Gail Simmons!
And in closing, thanks for getting rid of Haitian Chowder Man. He was over due to be axed and it was good to see him go. Next time let's concentrate of getting rid of Robin and Laurine.

Gleefully yours,
Dr. Monkey

PS: Please don't bring Gail Simmons back. Pretty please?

Dear Commenters,

It's fine if you disagree with me on any of the opinions in this post but limit yourself to one comment if you do disagree. There's no need to come back multiple times to tell me how wrong I am and how right you are.

Thanks.

I totally understand where you're coming from. I actually find myself pretty much agreeing with you on all points. Hope you have a good weekend. Cheers!

Ugh. I was pissed about Ra'Mon too...he is on my fantasy team for PR. But, this morning I heard he has his own clothing line coming at Kohl's - so the brother is good. AND I totally agree on Nicholas, Christopher from Shakopee, MN (can I get a what what for my MN boys!) should totally have won and Nicholas is an old biddy.

I also agree completely on Top Chef notes you have here.

Thank you for stating how I feel with such panache and flair.

"sever her vocal cords with a rusty tin can lid." - Classic.

Was Fatma that stupid model who very rudely bitched and moaned about having to work with one of the weaker designers? If so, meh, no big loss!

I agree with you about the chowder/Caribbean guy. I don't need to here where your from EVERYTIME you make a dish. He reminded me of the Korean chick from Next Food Network star. We get it!! Your Korean!! You cook Korean food!! Have you noticed how the bearded chunky guy has beedy doll eyes?? He can cook but he creeps me out.

YEA BITCHES! What HE said! Christopher is the real deal on Runway. Making Emperson get rid of my girl Matar was criminal and I said so on my blerg. Nicholas is such a girl and I don't mean that in a good way. He couldn't put a diaper on a dog. I have no idea what the hell that means. Boy we are both a couple of catty bitches tonight. I got email complaints and you got multiple complaint complaints. Looks like more dogs are gonna be wearing diapers before dawn...again..what the hell does that mean???

Monkey, in regard to your Fatma defense everyone knows you're a 'Fro Freak, those curls could be on a bowling ball and you'd still think they should win!

PR was a travesty - A TRAVESTY! That strangely pudgy whiner with the stick arms (I call him Klosterman, on account of he looks like Chuck Klosterman) wins? Are you f*cking kidding me? That thing he *cough* "designed" looked like a Fancy Wedding Day plastic tablecloth from Dollar General. Epperson and Christopher's designs were gorgeous, intriguing, and well-sewn. I was livid with couch rage. I actually called either Klosterman or Saloon Girl dress as loser. Was stunned when they canned Ra'mon. So very wrong. I thought after last week we were finally getting our shit together this season - not so.

And not to ramble, but Toby? Is it just me or was he unusually restrained? Happy to see Papa Ron go - one non-stop cringe for me every time he was on screen. I also hate PorkChop now for being an arrogant douche.

PR: I totally agree that Christopher should have won. That dress was crazy good... done all in one day. I even liked whatshisname's western dress better than Nicholas' psychotic story-telling ice princess. I think he won it on make-up... which he didn't do! Louise should have gotten the ax, not Ra'Mon.

TC: I think Alex Guarnashelli is Gail's long, lost, rich snobby sister... and Tom Colicchio? Hubba, hubba!
