What in God's name was this?
Now that the Silly Season is over, we can regain focus on important things like conspicuous consumption, winter clearance sales, and Season 4 of Project Runway. Two weeks ago we jumped the gun with our Episode 6 Elimination Odds, not realizing that Bravo was giving the show a two-week break. The past two weeks have been a difficult time for us with neither Project Runway nor The Real Housewives of Orange County, and we're glad they're over. We actually started to read.

Check this week's odds.
