We Saw PR7 Episode 1!

And you didn't! Neener neener!



Even better, for once we got the whole screener, straight through to the elimination. Obviously, you want to hear all about it but obviously, we can only give you snippets.

Commence snippets:

- Start spreading the news, bitches. NEW YORK IS BACK! It felt like coming home and we don't even live there. Shots of the skyline, The Atlas Apartments, Parsons - it's all back and it's very fucking welcome. Never leave, PR. We're begging you. Also...

-THE DUCHESS AND LA NINA IN THE HIZZOUSE! GOD, you have no idea how wonderful it was to hear real criticism again. Constructive, on point, and coming from a place of real knowledge rather than "I would TOTALLY wear that!" Which reminds us, Nicole Ritchie wasn't that bad.

- It's no skin off our nose, but man, women must hate Heidi because somehow she manages to look more gorgeous and sexier when she's pregnant.

- You'd really have to be a PR scholar to notice, but there are some very slight stylistic changes to the show and they're ones that we really welcome. It feels a little more raw, a little more cinéma vérité. There's a slight change in how the winner and loser are announced. Nothing major, just that it's done in a way that it catches you slightly off-guard. Even though we had both the winner and the loser pegged ahead of time, we still went "Oh!" when Heidi announced them. Also, there's a new bit of product placement on the show, but it's really, really cool and it adds something a little new and modern to the design process.

- We really love the designers so far. All of them, believe it or not. It feels a bit like Season 1 in that they're all loaded with personality and don't seem to care that there are cameras on them. Plus, there's some major talent on display and unlike the last season, each designer has a very distinct point of view.

- A new World Record for PR was set. Not only did someone burst into tears in the first THIRTY SECONDS of the show, but this someone also managed to cry TWO MORE TIMES over the next hour.

- Bunim/Murray: please, please, please show us more of that scorching hot makeup artist that we saw for only a few seconds. Now there's a phrase you don't hear every day: "scorching hot makeup artist."

-We've seen this challenge before but they added a twist this time and it was staged in a really cute way. We don't want to give anything away, but trust us, Tim looked adorable.

And finally, just to leave you salivating for more, some choice quotes:

"I don't really care for Miss America."

"We're like fat people at an open buffet in Vegas."

"Ping, Ping, Pong."

"I'm sweating like a Baptist preacher!"

"She looks like a Hershey's chocolate bar."

"In a lounge in Las Vegas in 1972, that would have looked glamorous."

And finally, the one that's bound to pique your interest:

"I said 'in.' Before I change my mind, Auf Wiedersehen. Leave the runway!"
