P.S. Bill... 14 minutes and 59 seconds counting

I am just amazed we give Bill Powers any credibility. Who is he?

Street art is about pushing the margins of legality, but if each pair of artists copiously tagged every other pair's work, we'd be incapable of rendering judgment on any of the works of art because the authorship would be inscrutable. Had Lola and Michelle "contributed" to Uprooted on a grander scale, we'd be debating whether the piece is actually the work of Kymia and Sara. Luckily, they only pasted a cigarette and a tiger penis -- enough to piss Kymia off, but not enough to discredit the authorship of the work.

Street art is the bastard child of communal artistic evolution and intelligent beasts marking their territory with paint. In this case, Lola's tiger penis is spraying.

Also, just saying... Sucklord and Sarah were the clear losers despite any negative judgment on Lola and Michelle's work. The maze was just ridiculously pointless.

It seems like the judges, who are apparently 'experts in the art world' seem to prefer artists who have some sort of shock value. Michelle talks about poop, sexual predators and penis constantly and now she is the judges' darling. Lola, who acts like a petulant child, tries to freeze out kymia after revealing that she is threatened by her talents and then later, when seeing the obviously powerful impact of Kymia and Sarah J's mural, tries to deface it. Then they justify their vandalism saying that it was the spirit of street art??? And it sounds like Bill Powers bought into that crap. If this is what Bravo is trying to pass off as 'fine art', then I think I'm done.

What was unsportsmanlike was Lola and Michelle encouraging people to tag other artists work before the judges had a chance to see it the way they intended it to be seen.

I felt like Lola was acting like a nasty brat this episode and would have been happy had SHE been sent home instead of The Sucklord. At least The Sucklord (as silly as his chosen moniker is) cares about his fellow artists.

Really, Bill? You see nothing wrong with defacing a piece of work that's in a competition to be judged? Plus, Lola has already admitted she was jealous of Kymia's win, and she didn't like the fact that Kymia was raised with manners AND she admitted she would have been pissed if Kymia had done the same to her work. So their tagging Kymia and Sara's piece wasn't in the spirit of the challenge or street art, it was straight up mean girling them. But congratulations on validating their behavior.

That and your tin-eared critique to Leon that he should appreciate Facebook even more because he's deaf just makes me wish for the days last season when you were too high to do anything but smile benevolently.

Bill, you're an insightful guy but missed the mark on calling Kymia & Sara out on a very real reaction to Lola's tagging of their work. You unwittingly made yourself like Michele this challenge-- one of Lola's puppets.

Kymia & Sara gave Lola what she wanted by reacting. Their reaction gave to Michelle & Lola's mural what it couldn't pull-off on it's own--some interest. If there was no reaction to her tagging, even when provoked, you would have had no choice but to send Lola home for her work failing on all fronts.

What's unsportsmanlike is a judge affecting the outcome of the race by trying to censor the competitors.

I highly doubt that Bill Powers is able to be a fair and impartial judge on this show. He has continued to show favoritism, and is now showing a disregard for the contestants works of art.

I will never believe that any fair judge would allow another contestant to deface and mess with another contestants art. I believe that had The Sucklord or Dusty written F You across Kymia, and Sara's street art, that he would not have had them kicked off the show.

Would you have found it OK for The Sucklord to get a can of spray paint and write F You across Kymia, and Sara's street art? I have a hard time believing that you would find that acceptable. I think you are playing FAVORITE's and not being a good, fair and impartial judge.

The Sucklord is out--what sort of sexual tension will there be now for the ladies? Dusty in Young's shorts? Wow! That's a visual.

I was bored with MIchele and Lola's work and Lola's repeat of writing the words--if the viewers can't figure it out without the labels, does that mean that you didn't do your job as an artist?? I think it was a cop out on her part.

I agree that Young and Dusty's piece was sort of a re-do of Young's Pop Art piece. But I also found it interesting and actually would have been interested to see what viewers wrote as part of the artwork...guess I'll have to visit Brooklyn to see. I find that Young (like Miles in Season 1) is very slick and for lack of a better word, savvy about what art gallery owners/judges, etc. think of as "current art". On the other hand, I think he is very slick and predictable that he seems to always look for something that has a "current event message." Is that his style? If so, can he work outside of that political provoking box? I am not convinced he is actually connecting to his work, but he does know how to produce.

I also thought Kymia and Sara's piece was interesting and bet it looks great from a distance too--not to mention being so appropriate for a city with so many people who have uprooted their lives to live in NYC.

I googled relational aesthetics and got Henessy Youngman on Youtube and laughed my ass off. Now I know a fancy art word for getting everyone at the office to sign a card.

We want to send support to kymia and sara. Keep your eyes on the prize. The immature ignorant baby games will be out soon. good work.
