Episode 330 - Friday, 2 December 2011

Nothing like a Douglas Adams reference to brighten up a Letters and Numbers episode.

A sassy pink on a blue shirt. Well, you can't say he's boring. I like the crosshatch pattern.

Besides maybe the blue of his shirt, Richard and him aren't really matching this time. Oh well, it can't be Christmas everyday. I like this, it's a small print like David prefers, but employed in a much nicer way than yesterday. Blue is my favourite colour, so I might be biased, but I think it's a good colour for him. It's a nice shade too, and just different enough from the background so he doesn't blend in.

An interesting twist on a classic LBD. There's not much I can say about this, just that it's great. The only way it could be improved is if she mentioned the top webbing bit was a sort of homage to Spider-Man, then it would be perfection. #1 Fashion tip: Clothes are always improved if they allude to a superhero and/or pop culture icon in some way.*

*Not a real fashion tip.

At least Brett had a good showing this episode and left with his head held high. I continue not to be a fan of the goatee, but the glasses are actually growing on me? Slightly better colour choice, but it still washes him out.

Wouldn't change a thing.

Episode 329 - Thursday, 1 December 2011

Remember Geoff, from yesterday's episode?

This guy.

I liked him, too bad he just missed out. Whilst going through the SBS Letters and Numbers website to make screen caps, I noticed Geoff has actually been commenting on some of the videos (click to enlarge).

It's always nice to know the hosts and everyone running the show are friendly in real life. And Geoff seems nice too, replying to everyone. I hope wherever he is, he is basking in his new-found popularity from his status as Letters and Numbers contestant. And also wearing an appropriately coloured polo shirt.

Onto this episode!

Nothing to complain about.

A little to complain about. Richard favours bold stripes, whilst David likes the small, busy prints, which matches him better, but doesn't always work out. This shirt is a little too busy. Understandably, he wanted to match Richard (again matching, is this heaven), but I think the colours here are what's really letting him down, they wash him out.... and also the fact that his shirt is made of flowers. My sister said she'd wear a dress out of this shirt material. I don't know if this says more about the shirt or my sister.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. From far it looks cute and young, but up close the top (particularly the neckline) is a little matronly, as is the print on the skirt. And although the green is really rich, its a little off-trend. I guess I like the general style and shape of the whole outfit but there's just bits and pieces which could be changed to make it better? Hair is flawless, of course. It's so shiny. She could be on a Pantene commercial.

Forget what I said last time, he should be changing, this look clearly isn't helping his game. Poor Brett was so nervous today compared to his stellar performance the day before, luckily he managed to scrape a win otherwise I'm sure he'd be kicking himself. So, please shave, and a different colour shirt, something brighter maybe! And I preferred the shorter sleeves on him, it just looked a bit more comfortable.

Yay, it's a girl! She looks a bit pale here, probably just because she's nervous. Hair is nice but no-fuss, which is what you need when trying to a) look good on national TV but also b) do well in the game. I like the shape of her top. I like the colour too, but I'm not sure if it's right for her- it sort of matches her hair and skin a bit too closely, so she looks almost all one colour.
