Courtney did well in the talk show element, but I don't see how she beat Ben on the runway. She's probably been on the talk show circuit for years in Australia which gave her the edge she needed to pull ahead, but she's still relying on her body for the runway. She wore the same outfit she always does with wings attached. That's not improvement or evolvement; it's stagnation.
Joslyn gets called out every week for her body-bearing wardrobe, not because it's showing so much skin but because it looks cheap and poorly styled. If Joslyn were able to do drag on Courtnney's dime, would the judges focus so much on her runway? Next week they will have the same critique, so I don't understand why they chose to keep her around. I like her a lot, but her weaknesses are showing at this point and she hasn't applied the judges critiques. I think she'll go home next.
This episode felt like it had the most involvement from the producers. I find it hard to believe that Bianca did so poorly. It seems like the producers wanted to show the audience that she can't be good at everything. I can buy the rest of the girls being shit at interviewing a guest, but Bianca? Something is fishy and it ain't Joslyn's meaty tuck.
Ben should've won the challenge because she used the talk show and the runway to apply the judges' critiques and yet still stayed true to her character. Her runway didn't get enough credit from the judges (editing magic, perhaps?) for how different and edgy that look was for her character. I loved seeing her in a different silhouette for once.
Darienne is such a bore. I don't get why the judges call other girls out for being too in character or not being vulnerable enough, yet they don't call her out for having no personality. Other than a few quips and her totally one-sided rivalry with Ben (hey, editors), has she done anything memorable?
Let's all take a moment to remember back in season one when my fav queen ever, Nina Flowers, interviewed Tori Spelling. She said that Tori has HIV, yet somehow managed to spin that around and make that little slip up adorable and hilarious. ICONIC.
