Season 2 problems...

Watching season 2 episode 8 and man are there are some serious chinks in the Tim Gunn "good guy" armour here. Nick gets Zulema's model after the infamous walk-off, and while Nick doesn't say anything outwardly disparaging about her Tim does not hold back. He calls her a problem, an elongated marshmallow, and a gumby legged stiff walker. He genuinely acts like this is a horrible obstacle to overcome for Nick. I can't believe how awful they are being about this beautiful woman. I would be absolutely humiliated if I was her and watched this on television. Tim gets so much hero love and respect from the PR community for being a "nice guy,", but moments like this make me wonder what else goes on behind the scenes we never see. There was no shock or surprise from Nick or anyone else, so we can assume this kind of talk wasn't out of character.
