The Tense and the Oblivious

Friday, July 18, 2008 by



Daniel, for god's sake, it's gonna be okay. He looks like he's in the middle of hostage negotiations or something. Go have some tea and find your center, honey.

Portfolio:




Tiny dogs make great costume jewelry.


It has some interesting looks to it. Although everything does look a little overworked, if that makes sense.


Model: Elena

Now.

Upon a second look, we can't say we're as enthusiastic about this dress as the judges were.


It's like Wonder Woman settled down and got a job at Denver-Carrington.


Sure, we can (and do) give him credit for picking possibly the most difficult medium out of all of them and we can't deny that it was a labor-intensive garment that was executed pretty much perfectly.


It's just that it's so big and loud and rigid and ...out there. Like Thierry Mugler discovered recycling. It completely obliterates whatever figure that girl has.


Although to be fair, that detail on the bust is actually quite nice.


So, big marks for picking a strange medium and making it work for you, not-so-big marks for a dress that looks like a bottle of dish detergent.

And why does Daniel dress like he works at an ice cream parlour?

Alright, ladies.

Let's get to it.

We've been blogging this show long enough to know when there's blood in the water. We can feel all you little bitches out there ready to trash Blayne de Soleil here. Far be it from us to stop you.


"I'd like to introduce you to "Girlicious."

(By the way, why are there so many refugees from Whoville this season? Some sort of ethnic cleansing or something?)

"I'd like to introduce you to the crow's feet you have at 23. Seriously, kid. Enough with the visits to the electric beach."


Yes, he's this season's "character" and he's working his little ass off to have his own catchphrase. Honey, "girlicious" ain't gonna happen. And while we're at it, nothing with an "icious" suffix is going to happen. Let's just establish that right now and we'll all be much happier.

Oh, right. And "holla." Stop that.

And also, stop sniffing. It's leading us to make unpleasant suppositions.




We don't know. It's not awful, but it's not grabbing us in any way.

As for this:

Model: Polina

Seriously, what are we supposed to say?


There's a giant cotton centipede crawling out of her lady area, for god's sake. That's alarming, to say the least.


Even more alarming was his wide-eyed, rock-solid belief that he had it in the bag. Honestly, if he'd been all "I don't care if the judges hate it, blahblahblah," we could at least respect that.

366666+

Sorry. Cat on the keyboard.

Oh, and another thing.

THIS is completely wrong. You don't start crawling around a girl's exposed crotch with a needle minutes after you meet her. At least we don't. That's just the way we were raised.


Ladies, we'd pack a lunch if we were you. He's "the character" and he achieved the supreme feat of not boring Nina and Michael. Pace yourselves. We have a feeling he'll be here for a little while.


"This is girlicious."


"Oh, honey."


"I am going to eat you alive. In fact, I am going to enjoy eating you alive. I'd even go so far as to say that I might take the opportunity eating you alive presents and, well, simply take out all my frustrations from the shitty year I've had on you. "


"See? I knew you'd love it."

HA! Yes! You know he is going to be a total player of the game. I just hope, like Christian, he becomes less annoying right quick, before I am forced to tear out my hair.

Sewing Siren said...

I love Daniel. And I love his dress. I also love Wonder Woman. I won't say he was robbed, but he should have won. I also have an extremely inappropriate answer for the ice cream shop question. But I won't print it. He is cute.

The other one I have nothing to say about. Feh.

Does her fake leg tattoo really say "girlicious?" Huh. I just THOUGHT I could not hate this look any more.

As always, you boys put words in Nina's mouth that we all know she'd love to say. Brilliant!

Heh. I love La Nina, and her expressions just said VOLUMES about "girlicious" and his design.

I also have to say: ACK! I didn't notice the motherfucking "girlicious" faux tattoo on the model's leg. HATE.

kath said...

I don't how much love Blayne will be getting from my house. So far, I find him irritating in a way that Christian wasn't. And when Christian did his schtick, you could tell it was pretty tongue-in-cheek. This little bug seems to really believe his self-proclaimed hype. He needs to be swatted. Oh yeah, his outfit was AWFUL!

I'm sorry but this is far worse than Cheroine's Bag Dress. I hate him the same way I hated Santino.

I have to respectfully disagree with you about Daniel's dress hiding her shape. If you look at the close-up of the bust and abs, you can clearly he is highlighting the shape of her belly-button.

GothamTomato said...

The Top Six Reasons Why Blayne Did Not Get Auf'ed:

1. The judges were going to auf him, but Harvey Weinstein stepped in and said he thought they could get product placement dollars from Kotex. (He then demanded that all female employees stop menstruating until Kotex pays up).

2. No one wants to admit that they cannot understand a thing he says.

3. They actually did auf him, and released him back into the wild, but he found his way back to the Parson's workroom.

4. The judges want to sadistically string him along, and then crush him like a bug.

5. Nina plans to have him made into a Birkin bag.

6. He is the love/hate child of Michael Kors & Donatella Versace (Which will be revealed in episode 8, when Maury Povich is the guest judge).

I just want to take a moment to say that Blayne does NOT represent Seattle or it's citizens. Except for the soccer moms over where Bill Gates lives, we are not a city of tanorexics. Nor are prone to putting "licious" on the ends of other words and thinking we're clever.
While I was all about routing for the hometown boy when the show started, the second he opened his mouth I was done. It's like he and his little friends sat around trying to come up with a catch phrase for him.
And yes, he really went out on a limb and that's the only reason he's still there. He didn't bore, that's for sure.

I'm totally with you on the idea that the judges need a whipping boy to relieve all their accumulated stress. Ditto Tim, hence the slacker comment. I, for one, can't wait!

Anonymous said...

Sorry, but I cannot get on the Daniel love train for that dress. I commend him for taking on one tough task, but the piece looks baaaaaad. Freshman art school bad. And on a more personal attack, I mean personal note, don't they still give the designers free products like shampoo & conditioner anymore? Check the bathroom, Daniel. That is, unless Jerry stole yours on his way out.


Blayne's runway look really, really disturbs me.

Hahahahahahahahaha! Snort!
Oh god, that and the whole Nina eating him alive had me trying to keep the iced coffee from coming out my nostrils! What a sendoff into the weekend!

Gretchen said...

Can't get in on the plastic cup dress love....why did he have to cut the pieces so jaggedly? It looks like Wonder Woman and Frankenstein's monster made a dress together. Couldn't he have just used the cups for the bodice, instead of the whole darn thing?

GothamTomato said...

"Tlo said: And why does Daniel dress like he works at an ice cream parlour?"



It does look like he should be wearing a boater, doesn't it? (Or walking beind his model, rolling a keg).

I do like the dress, and give him props for being crafty, though, yes, it does look a tad Ivana Trump (and standing next to her, he looks like her latest boy toy - maybe that explains the worried expression). And if he had gotten auf'd, the dress would have been able to stand on display, in the Aufing Wall Of Shame, without a dress dummy.

What's with all the models looking like they're mad about wearing the outfits? I understand it's not a pagent show and they shouldn't be smiling and waving, but that whole "I'm on the runway so I must look like I'm angry" thing is so done.

Miss Janey said...

Let's hope someone eats him alive. He's a stiff pain. Hopefully his leathery skin won't stick too much in her craw.

Anonymous said...

Re: the cup dress. I was just disappointed he didn't try to use the white edging to make more of a pattern than he did at the top. By just putting the white around the top, she just looked like she was going as beer pong for Halloween.

Blayne annoys the shit out of me because at least Christian backed up his trash talk with talent. Blayne (and Suede, too) seems to have come in trying really hard to be the next Christian, and that's never gonna happen, so they need to stop focusing on showing forced personality and start upping their game.

Yeah, Blayne made me want to shoot something Wednesday night. Jesus, dude. I will not holla at your or any other boy.

Anonymous said...

So- long time viewers- which outfit was worse: Blayne de soleil's caterpillar vag thing or Wendy's dance of the sugarplaum hookers????? Or terry's ax murderer raincoat frock? Or Starr's bumble bee tinfoil tutu????

So many choices, so much crap!

Cedar said...

Marty the Wizard--
I'm also from Seattle! The local press has been covering this guy a lot, and, really, he is not representative of what i consider the fashion scene/general scene in Seattle at all.

Here's a blog that documents what regular cool folks are wearing in Seattle
http://www.pikepine.com/
Not exactly the most original/urban stuff in the world, but light years beyond what Blayne made.

Anonymous said...

Blayne is so gross with his tanning, sniffing, and sleazy ways! You are so right on with the giant centipede comment. His outfit was one of the ugliest things I have seen in a while and the girlicious thing is so ridiculous. He is clearly trying to be the new Christian and failing miserably. At least Christian had some talent, class, style... all things Blayne lacks. I hope he gets auffed next!

The Daniel dress reminds me of the Rami dress with the circles on the hips. But it could just be because of the fact that he was using plastic cups ironed and glued together... I didn't think it fit her boobs very well though.

Anonymous said...

God, even his model "Girlicious" looks like she's ready to rip his head off. It's glaringly obvious to me that he spent his non-barista hours in Season 4 studying Siriano's every move, trying out poses and catchphrases in the mirror, developing the fake bake schtick. Christian could be like an annoying little mosquito, but he was a mad talented mosquito. This guy? Notso.

Daniel--love him. He's tense, and I relate to that. He's also meticulous, creative, and driven. I'll be sad to see him go, and angry if he is auf'ed before Crispylicious.

Blood in the water? Yep.

Gotham Tomato -- Maybe Lifetime will employ you for Season 6 - you are more creative than I am afraid Lifetime would be in programming.

The cup dress is a bit armor-y... A different color boddess would have helped...

The over grown tampon is quite scary...

Dear Blayne,

You are not Christian, nor will you ever BE Christian, so get your own schtick and MAKE IT WORK!

Love,

gacm said...

Oooooh, I was so hoping there would be a screencap with a good, clear shot of what the heck the neck/shoulder portion of Blayne's outfit is constructed of. It looks like it is made of a toddler bib --- not as in, it reminds one of it, but it actually apperars to be constructed of one, with that purple and pink piping. What *IS* that? What was his list of materials? (Asking this, I realize, is akin to saying, Hey, what's on that pile of dog poop? Are those flies, or what?)

Anonymous said...

I've said this about past seasons of PR, and I'll say it again: the producers have a check list of personality types that they look for when they are casting the show. Quirky gay guy? Check. Hot gay guy? Check. Hot-headed African American woman? Check. Cute blonde girl? Check. Older "weird" designer? Check.

They've got the same line up as always.

Blayne is trying to fill the role that Christian played last year, but he will fail miserably. And that tanning thing? I want to send him a brochure on skin cancer. Poor little waif.

So far, I like Daniel. He's unassuming and seems sweet and not full of himself. I liked that he made a dress out of something soooo unusual and it actually looked good. It was a little Wonder Woman-esque, but his choices of cups were blue, red and/or yellow, so no matter which way he went, she was going to look like a little like a super hero.

I love Daniel, though agree with his second-place finish.

Anyone else remember him from the Road to the Runway episode, season 3? He was one of the almost-made-its; I still remember a beautiful bottle-green coat he showed. Gorgeous. I was sorry when he then didn't show up in the final cast. Look forward to seeing more of him this season.

And yeah, Blayne's sniffing!! He grimaces his entire face to do it: Like a Who Honking! Make it stop!!

Oh you fabulous bitches, thank you for doing your thing on Blayne de Soleil.

And thank you also for not being totally in love with Daniel's dress. As you say, the crafting of it was one thing, but honey, as a piece of actual clothing? uhuh.

Stubenville said...

IMHO Daniel did a commendable job with a difficult material and he deserved to be in the top three. Definitely an ‘A’ for effort.

But why is Daniel wearing Pee Wee Herman's wardrobe? Did he play 'kitchen beautician' and cut his own hair... in the dark? Did mistake bacon grease for mousse?

Blayne darling; please, PLEASE take your meds. You actually thought that mess you hurled down the runway deserved the win? Your model looks like you dusted her with spray adhesive and threw her in a trash can.

And the 'faux surfer dude/grunge garb', the knit cap, the Gucci handbag tan? 1980 phoned and they want that all back.

Mlle Gateau said...

First of all, Blayne de Soleil is one of your best coinages ever. With that and Cheroin, you're off to a brilliant start.

Blayne is clearly the mutant offspring of Santino (bird of paradise skating outfit, anyone?) and Christian, but without the talent or personality.

Anonymous said...

I was wondering if wonderblayne was sewing the kotex part of his outfit to the model with tampon string. It would seem appropriate.

That is interesting. I would like to see it. His cup dress looks like a mechanical mermaid (to me). I will cry if they kick him off before some of the characters.

Doodle Whore said...

I thought the plastic cup dress was really unfortunate... I was shocked that the judges were as complimentary as they were. But up against all of those too obvious tablecloth dresses he had some balls and innovation on his side. Plus he's kinda cute.

"Ethnic cleansing!" "Blayne de Soleil" - you're in primo form.

Oh, Boys, you're having a feast with this epi, and we're the delighted guests.

Blayne was saved only by Jerry's misery and muleishness. But that monstrosity he put out was horrifying and, dare I say it, impliedly insulting to womankind. Sheesh - a white fungal horror arising from her ladybits, that inappropriate sewing...uh.. venue and the dude's utter cluelessness.

Funny for a moment, but disturbing overall.

Stay cool despite the heatwave!

I agree with gacm above - I'm a bit curious about the top of the centipede/duck butt/maxi pad/diaper outfit thing. I was so distracted by the nuclear tan and the "-licious" stuff and the big white mess on her crotch that I didn't even notice that it looks like her torso is wrapped in a roll of that non-slip rubber mesh that goes under area rugs. I'm really surprised that the judges didn't call him out on the poor (non?) construction of the rest of the garment, no matter how not-boring the crotch-pouf was.

I'm praying that the preview of Jerell saying something like "STFU!" is directed at tanboy.

Daniel gets props from me for innovation.

I thought so, too, but that he didn't do S3 because of a scheduling conflict. There were several people they wanted that year that they couldn't get. Explains Vincent.

Daniel looks like final 5 at least.

ROFL!!! Best line ever. Seriously... there's some pretty interesting faces on this show. I love how Kendle or Kenley or whatever her name is (Bettie Paige chick) was like, "Wow, you really go to the tanning salon a lot" and she meant it as an insult where he took it as a compliment. Classic.

Okay, Daniel: I was very impressed by his portfolio--love the playing card dress. His cupdress was daring and easily could have failed, but he took a big chance and "made it work." In that sense reminded me of Jillian's Twizzler dress. The only negative is it's a silhouette they've seen a gazillion times. But still - pretty impressive.

Blayne's uh. . . garment. All I can say is what the fuck Is it? I really thought when I saw pictures here maybe I'd be able to make some sense out of it. I was wrong.

I do not like Daniel's model nor was I thrilled about the design, although I will credit him for his conviction. Dude went straight for the Solo cups without a moments hesitation.

Blayne de Soleil--HAHA! Thanks, TLo for getting that stupid jingle into my brain. I will be silently singing it all day.
And all the sniffing? I flat out called him a tweaker on an earlier post. I guess I should really reserve comments like that until I see the tracks or other obvious evidence. Sorry, but seriously, what are we supposed to think???

Brooklyn Bomber said...

"Nina plans to have him made into a Birkin bag."

Oh, my God. . . the sad thing is I can actually start to picture it.

jen in philly said...

I think Daniel made his dress a little on the big side because he hadn't met his model yet. If he'd made it too small, he would've been SOL. Not the most original silhouette, but considering it's all plastic cups, that's pretty innovative.

lovemesomeuli said...

TLo, I don't think you are giving Daniel enough credit. Have you ever tried to make a dress out of cups? I know if I tried it would look worse than Blayne's catastrophe! Daniel did an amazing job. He is the shizzle, at least so far. I'm hoping he keeps it up.

Just to add my 2 cents about Blayne. Obviously Christian was cast to be a villianious pompous kid. Which is kinda was. But somehow it was endearing. I won't even talk about talent after just one challenge. This kid however...I'm positive that the producers are glad they got annoying kid "right" this time.

Yey Seattleites! Seriously, when he first walked onscreen, I thought 'when was this filmed? How in the bloody hell did someone from Seattle get so tan?' And I was all ready to root for hometown boy, but now, not so much. Although according to his bio on bravo he's originally from Yakima, so that might explain something.

Anonymous said...

Blayne is more like Season 2's Bradley on speed than our boy ferosh. Accordingly, he is less likeable than either. The fact that it's unique doesn't make it good. I agree that he should be gone for the sole reason that it doesn't actually resemble clothing. In fact, a triple auffing would really have been the key last night. Oddly, of the 3 of them, Jerry is the only one who strikes me as having the ability to maybe make something not ugly.

As for sad, nervous, Daniel, I thought that dress rocked. Of course it's artificial looking. Cornhusks were goofy too. But it was a lot of work, it ends up being a curvy look (actually, I could see Heidi wearing it were it a little shorter), and the color is fab. His work is simple, but with movement, and I like that. Looking forward to what he can do next!

The main reason that I'm not crazy about Daniel's dress is that it is incredibly unflattering. He took a lithe model and made her look chunky.

Anonymous said...

You know what's really sad? I don't think Blayne is putting on an act. He's probably just like this -- with same stupid catchphrases, etc -- in real life! Was he homeless as a teen? Had a drug problem? That's the vibe I'm getting. He's obviously very ambitious (as well as clueless).

He's annoying, but I want to see what he creates next. If only he'd shut up.

Daniel. Not feeling the love for the ice-cream man.

ayaka, he used a roll of drawer lining material, and just sort of laid pink trimmed potholders around her neck. I still think he also used a set of car floor mats for some of that material; it sure looked like he was playing with some on the floor at Gristedes.

Blayne needs to drop "girlicious" pronto and I can't believe he actually wrote it down the leg of his model. ICK!!!!!!!!

Blayne annoys the shit out of me because at least Christian backed up his trash talk with talent. Blayne (and Suede, too) seems to have come in trying really hard to be the next Christian, and that's never gonna happen, so they need to stop focusing on showing forced personality and start upping their game."


Exactly. Christian had talent and was naturally "fierce". These two are trying too hard.

I thought that the plastic cup dress was pretty cool but you'd never be able to sit down in that dress. Blayne needs to have whatever is left of his tanned brain checked.

Boys, I'm loving the posts, freaking hilarious!!

You know that episode of the Simpsons where Marge is trying to get into the country club? And her one good dress is destroyed? So she goes to Patty and Selma's to try on their clothes? And there's that one dress that is made out of vinyl and is way too big on Marge? Anyway, that's the first thing that came to mind when I saw Daniel's dress on the model.

Girlicious
OK, I get the girl part (poor thing), but the icious???
vicious?
suspicious?
malicious?
pernicious?
Certainly not delicious!

blayne de soleil - ugh! i hope the drama comes fast and furious around him, or else he needs auf'd IMMEDIATELY. it seems like a lot of the male designers described their aesthetic as "urban" which seems like a euphemism for "ugly ratty-looking faux-hipster shit."

and yes: Christian had the chops to pull off the ballsy ferociousness. This blayne (I keep thinking of barbie's australian-surfer boyfriend, Blaine, who replaced Ken temporarily) - anyway, this blayne doesn't have the skills to back up the bravado.

and jesus h christmastree, WHAT was "girlicious" supposed to be? the fact that it had a name weirds me out just as much as the giant maxi-pad strapped to that girls abdomen. i can't even tell what kind of garment it's supposed to be. at least the Serial Killer Ensemble and the Trashbag Dress vaguely resembled a recognizable kind of garment.

God, if ever we needed Ann Slowey's wit & wisdom, it's with this crowd.

This should have gone first...or at least the trio of the bottom feeders. Drama for the sake of drama is no way to run a reality show!

He even effing wrote "girlicious" on the model's thigh. GUG.

i don't just hate blayne..

What is he trying to pull?
Who does he think he is?
He's not ferosh, and he never will be.
I'm actually weary of this season because nothing can ever beat last season, so i'm trying to pretend like S4 didn't happen, so i can't compare

I can't believe he wrote "girlicious" on her leg. That is so lame. These designers don't have half the class of S4 and S3.

That "holla at ya boy!" shit needs to go. However, I did see Tim shouting it across the workroom in a later episode. That's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

Cornellian said...

I am hoping that blayne goes down in a ball of flames and does NOT rise again like a phoenix from the ashes.

And seriously.. enough with the tanning. I knew right away I was gonna hate him when I saw how TAN he was.

Brooklyn Bomber said...

"Tiny dogs make great costume jewelry." Exactly.

Anonymous said...

The truly irritating thing about "holla atcha boy" is that Blayne doesn't seem to know what it means. He uses it like hippies use "right on." No, idiot. Sorry. If you're going to use "urban lingo," toasty white boy, at least use it right. And why does Tim Gunn have to start saying it??? Don't encourage him!

That said, Daniel was robbed. He took a sleeve of frickin' plastic cups and made a dress. Isn't that what the challenge was all about? Reimagine unconventional materials into fashion! Ok, it wasn't wearable per se, but it was walking art. It looked cool. He exceeded expectation in a challenge where most failed dismally.

But then, I really didn't like Kelli's dress, so it was no contest for me.

I thought Daniel should have won. That cups dress was great and gave the model some nice curves. I'll be interested in seeing what else he does.

Blayne de Soleil has got to be one of your best efforts yet. I was thinking UVBlayne, but yours is much, much better. That kid's problem is he's trying too hard to be the star of the show. Stardom doesn't work that way and that creeping polar ice cap of a crotch didn't help. A few more designs like that and people are going to say he's all foam and no coffee.

And I doubt us Seattleites have to worry about Blayne being representative of anyplace except his own special version of Crazytown.

Blayne de Soleil

Oh god, that needs to be on a t-shirt.

Either MK is easing up on his own liquid tanner or he simply looks pale in comparison to Blayne. He's gonna look like a vintage leather handbag in five years. Blech de Soleil!

This whole episode put me in a crabby mood - the producers were just phoning it in. With great anticipation I watched, wanting to love this episode and meet the new cast of characters, but between the Gristede's repeat and Daniel's plastic-armor dress getting raves, I kept wondering what parallel universe I was watching.

Soooo i know who the budding romance is!!! and if you need proof check the updated myspaces! Its Wesley and Daniel!
Yesterday, they each listed each other in the number 1 position in their top 8, as well as each updated their status' to "in a relationship".
You can see the romance budding in the behind the scenes gallery from the first episode on bravos website, in a picture where the two are sharing a pillow awww i had a feeling these would be the two (and i know one of them personally)

It was pretty clear to me that Daniel should have won and Blayne should have been eliminated. Kelly's skirt was nice, but the burned and flattened coffee filters bra was pretty bad, lazy and dull. I really hated Jillian's twizzler dress because the top was stiff and looked like a carcass. Daniel's blue plstic dress fit well and moved. And it looked lovely. It wasn't as pretty as Korto's kimono, but he set himself a far more difficult task and succeeded.

Blayne's piece was just ugly and uninteresting. Jerry's piece was fairly well constructed and bizarre in an interesting way. The problem was that it was disturbing, it referred to aspects of our culture the judges don't want their show associated with; which is their prerogative. But it is silly to pretend that Stella's and Blayne's outfits were better than Jerry's. Blayne's piece was an incoherent mess; and it's pretty clear that everyone agrees that his character is worse than annoying. I wish this competition really was based on skill and talent. Sometimes it seems to be, but not in this case.

Thanks for the forum,
Dale Wittig.

Daniel IS tense - good point. I just thought he was nervous.....but ur right, he needs to loosen up and have a party!

Blayne is horrible. I look forward to Nina's expressions when she sees his creations. And btw - I have to kidnap her and make her teach me her withering looks - they are awesome!

Okay. Am I the only one who hates stocking caps in warm weather?? It looks tacky.

I was all set to trash Straight Joe, the "Detroit Boy." (He's from Troy, a wealthy suburb of Detroit. Not the same thing. It's like saying you're from NYC, but really from Long Island.)

However, we found Blayne SOOO annoying and irritating; Straight Joe is looking mild in comparison.

Go on, Straight Joe, in your souped-up 'Vette down Woodward! You're more Detroit than that nut is from anywhere.

That thing B de S created was simply atrocious. Not well-made, flattering, identifyable as clothing, or creative. SWAT!!!

Daniel seems to have taste, ability, vision, and the wisdom to edit his work down to the essentials; something Jerrel clearly lacks. I can't wait to see more of his work.

Anonymous said...

Blayne was very annoying. The forced girlicious line actually made me feel ill. The whole thing is flimsy and fake. I really hope he's auf'd and soon. He's too much of a caricature, and not a genuine personality you can respect and enjoy.

On a more shallow note, and I know this is mean, but really, he reminds me of the old tan lady from "Something about Mary." Look at his eyes... not healthy for a 23yr old. And that smile.... not good.

God, I'm crying here! Blayne de Soleil... and the suppositions. Yeah, we all think he's, uh, sniffing.

That was truly horrible, just as bad as Jerry's. In fact, he should have been up there instead of Cheroin. But I would have cried buckets because I'm just fascinated.

All I can say is, they weren't napping at the pass when they chose this years' bunch.
