PR epi6 - nutkin'rs' scores

(SPOILER, SPOILER)

#ProjectRunway ... nutkin'rs proclaimed their chosen few for episode 6, and THANKS to harold's girl for texting the top3/bot3, winner, and loser (while i was out and about on thursday evening). once again (like last week), i was eating french fries and drinking a hefeweizen at old ship saloon (but that's not relevant here). so here are we go - nutkin'rs predictions for epi6 shuffled the herd -

close scores among the herd, with only a 2.25 point spread
(details of the math in this post)
last week's 1st is tied for 4th/5th
last week's 5th is now 2nd

episode 6 happenings ... check out the recap links in an upcoming post for a flavor of the ven-is-a-butthead-meany-man episode. although i watched the episode after my very fun thursday evening out, my evening haz a sad watching and listening to ven. i'll let the recaps dish about ven.

short version - fashiontestants worked with "normal people" for head-to-toe make-overs, e.g., hair cut, hair style, hair color, and PR designer special outfit. after a teaser by heidi that one or two designers may be AUF'd ... fake. (just an excuse to make us stare at mean-ven, alone on the runway, being lightly scolded in that heidi-practice-your-acting moment - and then sheer disappointment that he wasn't AUF'd.)

9 fashiontestants heading into episode 7
4 women, 4 men, 1 butthead-man

math time for nutkin'rs ... with a few competitive nutkin'rs, as a just in case, i'm deconstructing EACH NUTKIN'RS score for episode 6. here are each nutkin'rs' predictions and then the math explained - point system explained in this post over here, with an added SUBTRACT 0.50 points if a nutkin'rs' top person was on the in the bottom and if a bottom was one the in the top.

standings after episode 6 ... yes, nutkin'rs were shuffled around, but the point spread is only 2.25. it's close.

• squirrel + 9 - 1 = + 8 points for 1st place (last wk 2nd) ... + 1 (final 3/4 in tact) + 4 (nathan listed in pair 'em ups) + 2 (predicted two in top 3) + 2 (predicted two in bottom 3) - 1 (predicted two in reverse of top & bottom). bummed to see nathan AUF'd but not bummed enough.
• shiny penny + 10 - 1 = + 9 points for 2nd place (last wk 5th) ... + 1 (final 3/4 in tact) + 3 (nathan listed in pair 'em ups) + 5 (predicted three of the top 3) + 1 (predicted one in bottom 3) - 1 (predicted two in reverse in the top). shiny penny's strategy of bulking up on his top 3 picks - VERY strategic. will shiny penny inch forward?
• harold's girl + 7 - 2 = + 5 points for 3rd place (last wk 2nd) ... + 1 (loser predicted) + 1 (final 3/4 in tact) + 3 (nathan listed in pair 'em ups) + 1 (predicted 1 of the top 3) + 1 (predicted 1 of the bottom 3) - 2 (predicted four in reverse of top & bottom). harold's girl just edged out pho queen by one point (by predicted the loser). oh so close!
• 
  
• pho queen + 6 - 2 = + 4 points for tie 4th/5th (last wk 1st) ... + 1 (final 3/4 in tact) + 3 (nathan listed in pair 'em ups) + 1 (predicted 1 of the top 3) + 1 (predicted 1 of the bottom 3) - 2 (predicted four in reverse of top & bottom). quite the rollercoaster with pho queen, who may likely be back in 1st place episode 7, if history repeats itself. have faith!
• zoe's buddy + 7 - 2 = 5 points for  tie 4th/5th (last wk 1st) ... + 1 (final 3/4 in tact) + 4 (nathan listed in pair 'em ups) + 1 (predicted 1 of the top 3) + 1 (predicted 1 of the bottom 3) - 2 (predicted four in reverse of top & bottom). zoe's buddy has been on the cusp of 4th these past three episodes. episode 7 may be the breakout episode - landing zoe on the in the top nutkin'rs - and maybe even the big dog.

corrections from nutkin'rs? ... show me the math, and i'll make adjustments.

recaps in a separate post

PR nutkin'rs - epi6 chosen few

those who are remaining heading into epi6

#ProjectRunway ... nutkin'rs selected from the remaining 10 fashiontestants for episode 6 - winner, loser, more pair 'em ups, and who nutkin'rs think will be part of the top 3 and bottom 3 pool of fashiontestants.

nutkin'rs' scores and epi6 predictions ... nudge, nudge, choose. out the chute was pho queen choosing, and others followed shortly. (AND something went funky with the on-line form; thanks for your patience - you know who you are.)

scores heading into epi6

predictions for the whole enchilada

PR episode 6 nutkin'rs' predictions

prediction themes? ... everyone's (almost) bottom includes alicia, elena, and nathan EXCEPT pho queen has nathan in her top pick. shall be interesting. and everyone's top picks include dmitry, melissa, and sonjia. as far as the new pair 'em ups, there will be a herd of points given if any of the following are auf'd this evening - gunnar, alicia, nathan, fabio, elena.

you can do the math ... i'll miss the "live" broadcast this evening, so i'll catch it later on my dvr and post results. however, if you want to forward me what you think you've scored, have at it.here is how to do the math -

• ADD 1 point if your predicted OVERALL winner is still standing
• SUBTRACT 1 point if your predicted OVERALL winner is AUF'd
• ADD 1 point if your final 3/4 are still standing
• ADD 1 point if you predicted the episode's winner; ADD 1 point if you  predicted the episode's loser; ADD 2 more points if you predicted both winner & loser
• ADD 1 point for each pair 'em up you got correct. in other words, whoever gets AUF'd, if that fashiontestant is in your pair 'em up group, you get a point each time his/her name appears
• ADD 1 point for every TOP or BOTTOM person you predicted correctly
• ADD 2 more points if you picked all top 3; add 2 more points if you picked all bottom 3

drum roll into this evening's  episode6

which nutkin'r will be the head honcho?

PR nutkin'rs - EPI 6 pick time!

#ProjectRunway ... the epi 5 results are over here. remember the designs that walked the runway?  remember your scores from your predictions? remember kooan haz sad from episode 4 - who later danced it off (video)?

from blogging project runway (over here)

 

 

time to shake it off, stretch, breathe deeply in and out. (done?) now it is time to select from the remaining 10 fashiontestants - winner, loser, more pair 'em ups, and top 3 / bottom 3!

10 designers remaining into episode 6

main picks refreshers ... after nutkin'rs guessed chose wisely their overall winner and final 3 (or 4), i know some are scratching their heads and hoping their winner isn't prematurely ejacu ejected via an AUF.

 

MEANWHILE

on our mark, get set, SUBMIT!

make it work!

r|alex refresh friday

dessert, dinner, a show... that's how my weekend started. i was not in cubeopolis on friday, so thursday became my work-week-friday; friday became my feels-like-saturday. then back on track with saturday as saturday, etc.

natural licorice at
mr and mrs miscellaneous

i spent friday morning out and about with my mom (and an auntie visiting from hawaii) for her appointments. (question: what does one do when a man is flirting with my mom and my auntie in the hospital lab waiting room?)

dessert ... eventually i made my way to s.f. to begin a night out which started in the dogpatch neighborhood (the story of...) - dessert at mr. and mrs. miscellaneous (on facebook, yelp, google+, 2012 best of) for a scoop of turon-flavored ice cream of banana ice cream with caramel tidbits (based on the filipino dessert turon, on wiki). and after ice cream, i tried out their natural licorice - each of the four flavor offerings.

chicken parm at guido

dinner ... then by simply walking across 3rd street on 22nd, just a block away, had dinner with girlfriends at the pop-up restuarant guido (on facebook, yelp, grub street) at just for you cafe (on facebook, yelp, web). guido pops up on wednesday - friday nights. my dinner choice? classic chicken parmigiana (plus green beans, sphaghetti). i also tried their arancini fritti (saffron risotto, house made pork and beef, and fried with lots of lovin'). oh ... and some chianti among the gals. (gulp, gulp, gulp) side note - the co-chef couple includes stephanie, who is the daughter of a good friend of mine from high school.

show ... then two of the three of us gals headed over toward our next destination in the financial district. but before the show, we stopped by the old ship saloon (on web, yelp) for a pint (i tried the poppy jasper amber ale) and to meet a few other show-goers. then we foooted it over to eureka theatre (on web) for the 10 pm show at the 2012 san francisco improv festival (on web, facebook, twitter) - five play improv (on web, facebook) and of sketch comedy performed by killing my lobster (on web, facebook, twitter).

killing my lobster

five play improv

five play improv (L to R): ben, dustin, bobby, sean

audience story suggestion? ... let me tell ya, alex ... five play improv treated us to their long form improv based on the audience-suggested-story-title that went something like - flip that mother f***er. (yes, that suggestion beat out the bicycle chef and one other suggestion, which i forget)

more r|alex refreshing 

as i continue to relax!

f|break: doggies do & don't

ellis

thanks ... @iamjustinsilver (on web, twitter, facebook) for a season of dogs in the city, which i understand was also the beginning and the end. (bummer)

while i don't yet have a dog, puppies and doggies are occasional breakfast/brunch conversation - gadgetman just watched an episode ("anger management") of dog whisperer, a friend just adopted ellis (ahhhh - puppy breath!), shiny penny is in love with max (his boston terrier) even after seeing this other boston have a pokemon moment, and i am in doggy-wanting mode. nevertheless, i immediately remembered the episode of dogs in the city with hubbell yoda where -

"Justin brings Hubbell Yoda to Bryant Park to get him out of his doggie stroller and closer to other dogs in order to boost his confidence."

enjoy a fiber break with justin, simone, and hubbell yoda (over here)

for ~ 3:35 min at bryant park with doggie in a stroller

  BONUS fiber break of a deleted scene from episode - for ~ 2:55 min on a cocktails and canines cruise

PR epi5 - nutkin'rs scores & recap links

(SPOILER, SPOILER)

#ProjectRunway ... nutkin'rs proclaimed their chosen few for episode 5, and i watched the epi5 while eating french fries - stress eating (ugh, team six!). two teams were pulled together -

"... to create a cohesive line of professional women's wear for the sophisticated and fashionable woman ... directed your own photo shoot ...winning team's photo will appear in a fashion spread on the pages of marie claire @ work" ~ heidi on the runway

how'd nutkin'rs survive their predictions for epi5?

scores after episode 5
Bravo (errr lifetime?) to you, pho queen!
from last place (over here) to first place
(what a different a week makes?!)

episode 5 happenings ... check out the recap links below for a flavor of the episode. among the two teams, the freakin' teams tied, so all the designers were up for winner and loser, so it's not like the winner was from the winning team, blah-blah. (WHATEVER! yawn) and for the curious, here were the teams -

• team six - alicia, dmitry, elena, melissa, raul, sonjia
  
• team five -  christopher, fabio, gunnar, nathan, ven 

- and listening to team "EEO" six yip-yap was one-french-fry after another-french-fry of stress eating. (ARGH!) go figure, after seeing the initial composition of team five (the boys!), i thought team five would be the more annoying. not so much, as it turns out. NEVERTHELESS, team six's photo shoot made marie claire @work. and after the runway pro forma, here are the remaining designers -

heading into episode 6, these are the remaining designers

some epi5 yip-yap-quotes for my earholes ... we're missing a bag (elena) | ... and i'm not a f**kin' tailor (gunnar) | boy, that was lackluster (tim) | even if they say they like her, they hate her (dmitry) | ... is one way monkey ... oh no, he's one trick pony, that's what i meant (dmitry) | i can feel the tension from team six (nathan) | gunnar, i don't love this one, explain this (heidi) | i just don't like that top; it's a dull idea (joanna coles - guest judge) | ... BUT my faves -

"... because i was anticipating walking into a hot mess"  ~ tim
"... dress came down the runway ... two puppies wrestling in a sack"  ~ joanna

details, details ... with the nutkin'rs' predictions for episode 5 and pair 'em ups, here are the details to applaud and encourage each nutkin'r -

(click on table to read the predictions)

dishing about the details ... for each of the five nutkin'rs and their standing at the end of epi5 -

• pho queen + 8 points for 1st place ... came completely from behind in 5th place (last week) and now leads the pack in 1st place. AWESOME job on predicting both winner AND loser, which gotcha a total of 4 points!  
• harold's girl + 3 points for 2nd place ... just 0.50 behind pho queen. last week, harold's girl's 1st place showing was from her psychic prediction of both winner AND loser. 
• squirrel + 5 points for 3rd place ... now running in the middle of the pack. 
• zoe's buddy + 5 poings for 4th place ... breaking last week's tie with shiny penny. solidly 2.0 points ahead of shiny penny, esp. because of choosing raul across the board for being auf'd before others AND for being auf'd in episode 5. quite committed!
• shiny penny + 3 for 5th place ... just 2.0 points behind zoe's buddy, missing out on a point by choosing elena over raul in the pair 'em up.  

looking toward epi6, in the pair 'em ups, points will fly if elena is auf'd. right behind elena are alicia, fabio, and christopher. i'll be coming up with a few more pair 'em ups (gunnar and nathan pairs). and if that ven keeps on with his "one way monkey", well ...  (yes, i chose ven as the winner; just sayin')

recaps ... i'll update this portion of the blog as more recaps are posted. i especially will add the BPR pic of the final designs.

it's over not under (period.)

THANKS @DavidDust (on web, twitter) for your truthery toilet paper blog post - which should resonate not only with east coast but west coast peeps. (smile)

your post reminded me of my 25 blah-blah things (about me) and my first declaration of the twenty-five -

"1. over not under ... that is the way that sheets of a toilet paper rolls should lay. i will fix the roll - at your home, my work, a restaurant, a department store, a gas station, wherever."

- and as david dust asks -

Question: Are you a "wrong way" 

or a "right way" person??
