It's morning at Atlas and everyone loves themselves. Moving to the runway the designers choose models and Candice (whoever she is) is sent home. The Challenge: Design an evening gown for Miss USA to wear at Miss Universe. Kayne, the pageant dress designer for a living (not sure when he left the touring production of Cats with that hair and the jury is still out as to whether or not those cheeks are implants or so much blush that there's none left in North America for anyone else) is beside himself. Designers to the workroom where Tim announces they have 30 minutes to sketch and then pitch their ideas to Tara Conner, Miss USA. Angela spends more time up Kayne's rear then sketching and delighted me with her stupidity when she goes in to pitch her ideas to Tara sans sketch and says, "I don't sketch." Followed by, "What do you think of an empire waist? I was thinking gloves." You could almost see the "Who is this chick and when will she go away?" thought bubble above Tara's head!
The team leaders chosen by Miss USA choose their partners. (For once the gays are the first picked for a team!) And Angela lo and behold is the last one standing with Vincent calling her Alison as he says he's delighted to work with her – Oops! Vincent and Angela are the main focus of this episode with their fighting back and forth culminating in the quote of the week by Vincent to Angela, "You have to move three feet away from me." Angela agrees to split the difference with him and we're all bored with the two of them. Vincent continues to design. He's like the head scratching TV detective Columbo except I can't imagine him solving the crime, just committing them against fashion and he's moments away from being committed too!
Runway Day: Most are looking good, Vincent and Angela continue the feud and Malan, with his half-mast eyes and that accent (Where is he from? Gaypanastan?) tells the story of going, sketches in hand, to his mother at 13 and her throwing them to the ground telling him never to do this again. His teammate Katherine agrees with his mother and keeps telling him he'll defend it on the runway, not her. Meanwhile, the dress is too short for the model!
The Judges: Vera Wang, Nina Garcia and Tara Conner. Most overlooked (again) are Laura and Michael with a classic and elegant dress. The Fashion Leaders: Uli's diaphanous creation, Kayne's crystal and purple pageant extravaganza and Vincent's green elegance with Judy Jetson sleeves. The Auf'd One: Malan for his wooded creature bunched up top, too short bottom mess dress. The Winner: Kayne, but if a pageant designer can't win the pageant gown competition with Robert as his boy wonder beside him, who's gonna win? Riddle me that, Batman.

Oh my goodness I love Kayne's vision and personality. If he were into younger women I'd be in trouble. I would love it if he would design my wedding gown one day, I know I wouldn't be disappointed.
