Thank you Cesar!

BB Love to Cesar Galindo

Out of every elimination this season, I think this week's was most surprising. It seemed like a foregone conclusion that Cesar would be competing in the finale. He has been a strong designer all season, strong and confident, and his final collection reflected these elements of his personality. Ultimately, it came down to one of his looks not being bad necessarily but merely being less-good than Jeffrey's.

Cesar, we're heartbroken to see you leave before showing us nine more looks in a finale collection and wish you nothing but happiness and success in your future.

This post is only for positive comments about Cesar and his designs. If you have anything negative to say, please do so on our Reactions post.

Rachel Zoe Reveals She is Having a Boy


Rachel Zoe and her husband, Rodger Berman are expecting a boy in April. This has hardly slowed down the Bravo star's busy schedule. Click here for the full story from The Hollywood Reporter.

Congratulations, Jeffrey Williams!

This week's challenge was to produce a pair of eccentric looks based on accessories hand-picked for each designer by Barney's Simon Doonan. Jeffrey received a pair of quite fabulous chandelier earrings and an amazing feathered capelet for which he created two chic-yet-avant garde ivory looks that were perfect matches.

Originally, he had paired the pants with the earrings and the gown with the cape, but in the end switched them. And they were still perfect.

Congrats, Jeffrey, on your second win, and we're looking forward to seeing what you do next week.

This post is only for positive comments about Jeffrey or his competition. If you have anything negative to say, please do so on our Reactions post.

BB Love to Eduardo de las Casas

Wow - I think it's pretty safe to say that a lot of us didn't see this elimination coming. After all, Eduardo had won three prior challenges. His work in the past was all extremely well-executed and quite lovely; unfortunately the judges thought it was a bit repetitive with ruffled cocktail dresses week after week after week.

Personally, I like ruffled cocktail dresses.

Eduardo, you should be very proud of your accomplishments on The Fashion Show and we at Blogging Bravo are excited to see what you produce in the future.

This post is only for positive comments about Eduardo or his competition. If you have anything negative to say, please do so on our Reactions post.

Tonight on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

BRAVO'S The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Thursday 1/6 @ 10/9c: Taylor's marriage problems continue to weigh on her mind as her husband leaves her alone at a party. Will confiding in Kyle help Taylor work through her issues or is it going to take some serious counseling to get back on the right track? Speaking of rocky marriages, when Camille invites some of the ladies and their husbands over for a game of tennis, Camille doesn't seem to mind that Kelsey is out of the town and gets a little too up close and personal with the male attendees. Will this stir up more trouble between Kyle and Camille or are the two finally putting the past behind them?



BB Love to Cindy Ayvar


This week Cindy was paired with Calvin for a wedding challenge. While the two designers were definitely not a match made in heaven, it was Cindy's construction that was ultimately her downfall. The suit she created for her groom was interesting and had potential, but it did not make the cut.

It was heartening to see Iman give Cindy such a nice pep talk and hug at the elimination...you know if Iman can see the greatness within, Cindy can definitely go places in the future. Our best to her.

This post is only for nice comments about Cindy and her work. If you have anything negative to say, please comment on our Reactions post.

Congratulations, Dominique Pearl David!

With this week's win, Dominique has scored two in a row! Although immunity could have led her to go a little crazy and try something unconventional, she used her simple and elegant design sensibility to turn out a linen wedding dress that pleased her customer and the judges as well.

We can't wait to see what Dominique will turn out next week. Congratulations to her!

This post is only for nice comments about Dominique and her work. If you have anything negative to say, please comment on our Reactions post.

This Week on Millionaire Matchmaker

BRAVO's The Millionaire Matchmaker 4, Tuesday January 4 – This week Patti deals with one very superficial client and another client with serious commitment issues. Robin, a successful woman in her 30's has very specific physical requests (Hello Mathew McConaughey!) but Patti isn't afraid to call her out on trying to snag a guy out of her league. John, on the other hand, is looking for a real relationship but will have to move out of his comfort zone and face his commitment issues head on. Will Patti straighten these two out and find them love or will their on-going issues cause more matchmaking drama?
