If Kelly was the hostess and not a judge, I wouldn't mind her. She simply doesn't have the credibility. I was unsure about Padma on Top Chef and even
Heidi on Project Runway in terms of their qualifications to judge, but IMO, they have proven themselves over time. Kelly hasn't.

The only thing Kelly has proven is that casting her was a mistake.

I don't see Reco as angry. I see him as conceited.

^ Yeah, I was referring to that too.

It looked like he was talking to Danielle, Tony and the shoulder pad chick. So, who am I missing, 'cuz that's not everyone.
It doesn't change the fact it comes across as bitchy to me. |

Reco was cast mainly as a " personality" but he's talented and I can see him making Top 3 .

I said bitchy gay man...still no distinction?
Agreed ellewoods. He's so OTT that it's crazy, but so far he can back it up [/beyonce]. Se'iously!

Yeah, Reco strikes me more as catty than angry, but cattiness is often more associated with women or gay men and it's not terribly surprising that some
posters think of him more as 'black and angry' than 'gay and catty.' It's not as if his "flipping out on everyone" is what
suddenly made him unpopular with his current detractors.

The difference is in his own feelings about it. If he was not upset but amusing himself by causing trouble, I'd call that bitchy. That's not what I
saw. I saw him genuinely upset and (as I said) flipping out at everybody. I'll take both the "black" and the "gay" out of it, and say
that he's just a bipolar mess!

I think he was indeed genuinely upset at that moment (and mostly with the fat fuck who on more than one occasion acted like he didn't want to be there),
but overall, he's usually some blend of catty and bitchy (not angry, or as insinuated, black and angry).

I didn't see Reco's flip-out as "angry black man" or "bitchy gay". I saw the "flip out" simply as built-up frustration
suddenly given voice: Jonny (like he did when he was previously at the bottom) wanted to go home because, basically, he didn't want to push himself into
putting in the required effort. Fine, then FUCKING GO. Not like someone has never EVER quit the show before; ie, that one Blondie-chick who left the show on
her own after, what, the second episode?
I sympathize with Reco because on one hand, Jonny just whines, sniffles and says he's going to quit, he's going to quit, he's going to quit, but doesn't. And, at the same time, on the other hand, says he doesn't want to bother putting in more effort because he's already got someone stupid enough to fund him and he only wants to design to the "10%" anyway (I wouldn't have thought there would be that high a percentage of people with shitty taste out there). Fine. Then GTFO and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. No wonder Reco "flipped out". |

So why didn't any of the others flip out? Simple. They don't have Reco's anger-management issues...

I dont think reco was angry like that, I really think that he was fed up with johnny's attitude about the competition.
