I think Elliot has definitly gotten cuter with each week. They've done a lot for him by dressing him in really nice outfits. I don't think he's any more bad looking than Taylor, who's gray, does spasms on stage, and has a little pot belly.
I mean neither of them are particularly hot, but then again, I think that aside from Ace and Chris, not many of the guys were that HOT this season.
