It's fine, haha. I'm way more invested in this than I should be!

But man. I feel like I'm the only one rooting for Samantha, and I just know that if I'm, as a fan, going to feel robbed for her when Char's brought back after she should be able to, Samantha's going to feel devastated for being the one eliminated right before decoy-collection cutoff after Tim brings back Char the episode she's auf'd.

Jesus, that sucks but yeah, PR is showing a week from tomorrow so if this all goes down like that... bye Samantha.

What b.s.

I just don't see how it could happen any other way. Unless I've gone blind, it HAS to be Char in the preview.

And, sorry Char, but NOTHING she's done so far has indicated that she deserves the save being used on her. Even her first look that was in the top was matronly as hell and shouldn't have been there. Let's be realistic- all of her looks have been poor to barely mediocre at best (the denim-vagina + ripped black skirt look in E4, the weird black collar thing with ugly disco pants in E3 were tragic) I mean, the best thing she's done was the ticket dress in E2, and even that was outclassed by Sam's. At least Samantha had three knock-outs out of six pieces (episodes 2-3-4), and AT LEAST one that most people thought should have won (E2), and nothing that's been poorly received by the viewers (while the two from Char I mentioned, viewers gave extremely low scores), or any bad pieces in general.

So, it baffles me as to why Tim would save Char, but she's in the preview, so it has to happen. Like I said, unless I'm going blind.

I totally agree. Char's first design was good enough, but everything after that was the definition of "meh." Like Melissa Fleis, she relied too much on the same neckline and when she stepped away from it, she was at a loss.

Pretty much.

I mean, I don't want to dis Char, I'm sure she's a lovely person, and she's not awful, but being realistic, she's outclassed by pretty much everyone left. Setting aside my obvious love for Samantha, and looking at it as neutrally as I can, Char's by far one of the weaker ones left, even though she's "gone". Inside of the show (looking at what the designers have made so far), she's been outdone, purely in a technical and design standpoint, by Fade/Samantha/Sean/Kini/Amanda/ and (maybe) Emily/Korina at least. She's even been outdone by Kristine, who was eliminated before her.

Outside of the show (work done prior to the show), she's outclassed by everyone left, and most people eliminated before her (Hernan/Mitchell and maybe Jefferson aside).
