Bravotv.com: So in this episode you're modeling dresses with Rachel for the Oscars. Do you enjoy doing that?
No. I think it's annoying. I don't like trying on sample dresses. It's really annoying. It's certainly not any fun. I actually think it's stupid because my body is nothing like...I just think it's stupid. It's a pointless activity that Rachel enjoys subjecting me to.

So how often do you threaten to quit?
Well, during this time period I was really stressed out and as America can probably tell from watching the episode and watching this season, Brad and I didn't get along that well. So I think it was a little more tense than usual, and that's why I threatened to quit. But now I'm very happy and I love Brad. He's an angel. In fact, he's sitting next to me right now. I adore him.

Brad: She's learning how to work with BRAD.

So, when you told Rachel she has to choose between you or Brad, why did you give that ultimatum.
I was stressed out and I was fed up with the situation, but mostly I was being dramatic. Overly dramatic. I'm not in a good mood.

Cheer up! Things will probably not get any better.
Probably not.

Looking back do you think you were too hard on Brad?
Uh, no. Maybe. Maybe a little. I should have been a little more understanding and sympathetic and had patience with Brad. But I can't change anything that has happened in the past. I can only work on the future.

Are you really friends with Brad now?
Yep.

What was your favorite part of filming?
Are you kidding me? NOTHING. Nothing was my favorite part.

You didn't have one favorite moment.
No. Favorite part of filming? Nooo. No. Nothing.

Not one memorable moment?
Is there supposed to be a memorable moment?

There are six hour-long episodes and you can't think of one moment?
When all the cameras and the crew trucks drove away and I never had to see them again. That was a very memorable moment.

Do you watch reality television?
I watch The Hills. I watched it last night. Love it. Amazing. Audrina took her top off. I LOVE The Hills.

You love The Hills and you don't watch your own show?
No.

What do you think of Lauren Conrad and Whitney's fashion line?
Oh my God are you really asking me this? They're fine. They're fun. They're cute girls.

Would you start your own fashion line?
Eh.

Any final thoughts on the season?
Thank God it's over.

Just remember Taylor, EVERYONE, yes EVERYONE is replaceable. Even you. P.S. if you hate your job so much, quit.

Taylor, if you don't like your job and all you do is complain, there are a million people waiting in line with a much better attitude that would be extremely happy to take your position. If the attitude is for the camera, quite your job and audition for a Soap Opera. I'm not into watching the show for your dramatic outburts, I want to watch the masterful work of your employer!

I've never watched this show but based on Taylor's answers to the interview questions it sounds like she might be one of the smartest and most interesting people on reality t.v. As for how she comes across in the show, the producers probably want to emphasize a simple and clear archetype for her character, and edit her accordingly. All reality TV shows do that. It's not a format where complete and nuanced portrayals of peoples' real personalities works.

I just finished an internship where I did PR for a tv personality. I related a lot to Brad's position as he was the newest member of this team, in the same way that I was in my position. The man I worked for also had a 2-3 person staff who worked out of his home office. However, differently than Brad's situation, I was given a great explanation and overview of how things would work. I don't understand why Taylor seems to be unable to give Brad this same level of training.

Taylor and Rachel both describe Taylor as "tough." I'm tough, being tough can be great, but if she thinks that keeping Brad's tasks a secret from him until something goes awry or a "fashion catastrophe" (as if such a thing exists) is just plain bad business.

I wonder what is wrong with Taylor, or probably more to the point, what insecurities she holds that disable her from integrating Brad into their team in a mature and constructive fashion.

taylor...do you really like your job because you say that everything about it is annoying...and it deff. seems like you're jealous of brad....give him a chance! You want the help, but then you dont want it from brad...you need to get over yourself...

Your resume should read "does not work well with others". You need some kind of solo career as you obviously don't enjoy working with anyone.....

I respect your dedication to your job. I realize that you take your work very seriously and plan on making this a life long career that hold endless opportunities. At the same time, the negative attitude isn't going to make accomplishing your goals any easier. It will give you a reptutation and a persona that you do not want to carry on forever. I am not in the industry. I have yet to experience the cut throat atmosphere or it, however- it is unfair to treat others rudely on account of your own goals. Good luck in the future and I hope you learn to tone it down in order to gain the respect of those who have seen the worst of you.

Hi Tay:
My son (19) and I are total fans of yours! I can't wait for the new season. You have the best reactions to things and we love your style. You should have your own show!

Can you tell me the name of the black purse you had on your desk when you were apologizing to Brad on the phone? I love it and thought it might be Chanel, but I don't know. If you get a chance, please let me know.

Please know that you are adored here in maine!

Taylor, I think you are an amazing, strong person. Although you may be portrayed as a mean "bitch" on air, I can see that you're just very straight forward and blunt. I love the fact that you're a work-a-holic and that you try to have a divide between work and play. Others may disagree about this, but it's very rare to me to see a female that's into design/fashion yet be very competent. I wish you well on your career.

Dude, are you kidding me? I would have reacted the same way if I were her. And don't pretend all of the rest of you wouldn't have, either.

Taylor you are ultra wonderful at your job but try being nicer to other people. Just because Brad isn't on your level does not give you the right to attack him. You are amazing and that is all that matters. Focus on yourself and your work and let Brad take care of himself.

i think that taylor was a total B to brad...she was so fake to him & he was doing his best. she shouldve been more understanding...if she wasnt so adversarial all the time then they probably wouldve gotten along better. the guy was trying his best to learn everything quickly & do thinks well & all she did was be negative towards him. hated that she was a faker...especially when she called him while he was in NY & was totally making fun of him.

maybe if taylor was NICE to brad & actually talked to him properly, they wouldve gotten along better & he wouldve learned "the ropes" quicker. the added tension was all her fault which made work for both of them more difficult.

change your attitude taylor...get off your high horse. just because you've worked with her longer doesnt mean you're better than others. if you could do it all alone, rahel wouldnt have had to hire someone to help out. so hello..that means you're NOT perfect. get used to it.

Hi Taylor! I am so in love with your style, and particularly love that gold cross necklace you wear, with the cross built into the chain? It's so delicate and different ... and I would love to know where you got it! Suggestions?

HI Taylor, Remember me? Sara's Clothing Store? Bob our annoying boss who spits when he talks.....I think you are hilarious to see on t.v. and I know how Brad feels...J/k Hope all is well

this is completely random - i am dying to know who makes the black, knee-length, billow-sleeved, accordion pleated dress taylor wore coming down the stairs before the erin featherston show/party(?), before brad helped her with her coat...producers? cameramen/women? rachel? even better -taylor? it's gorgeous, and i...um...die.

That's great, I would feel the same way, and I would never watch my own show. I already know what happened.
