To be honest, I like a lot of the details on Christian's work, but overall, it seems to have that really loosely thought out structure that you find in the designers-imitate-garage-sales-duds. To me, that's what the vast body of his work is. He, Rami and Kevin probably have the most potential to impress me, but...it's still not there. Maybe my hopes are just too high? Tim did say this was the strongest group of designers yet. Maybe it kicks it up later in the season.

Victorya's a bitch and needs to go. I don't like Elisa, but she'll be gone eventually. I'd like to see some more of Sweet P, and I don't know anything about Kit. I like Chris, but he won't make it. I was just glad they finally got off these damned group challanges.

Does anyone have any real standout faves from years past? For me it's always gonna be Jay's Chrysler dress, Daniel V's orchid and Jeffrey's madras couture -and I HATED that dress on the french model. Boy got himself a saviour in Marilinda, she was beautiful. She made it look amazing.

faux edit: haha, I just realized I picked a dress from each season.

faux edit a deux: You know, usually there's also at least one standout model. They all have HORRIBLE walks this season. Just...galumping along.

I forgot she's even there. No, seriously. When I do remember her, I keep thinking she looks like Alison from Season 2 or 3.

Since you picked one from each season....

Season 1: I have to agree and go with Jay's Chrysler dress. And the fact that he totally pulled that out of his ass at the last minute made it better. However, I loved his runway collection, every piece.

Season 2: Daniel's orchid dress was very cute....but I liked Chloe's dress from that challenge better. I could have done without the cap, though. I wound up loving her runway collection too.

Season 3: Probably Michael's dress made from coffee filters. I fiund myself loving a lot of his work. It also helped that he was sexy as hell.

This week's challenge... ahem...

THE JUDGES ARE SMOKING CRACK!!!!!!!!

that is all. >_<

Hmmm...I liked Elisa towards the end...even if the whole fairy earth mother thing was kinda kooky and off its rocker, she seemed to be the easiest to work with...Christian...I'd kick in the face with a Louboutin pump and I don't want to spoil this week's episode for peeps who have yet to see it.

Oh, God, poor Christian! But he gets sooooo defensive. Hopefully he learned that every once in a while you have to design for a client that actually has some booty. (I have often been a victim of the knee-length skirt/dress that's only knee -length in the front. )

But she was obnoxious as hell. I thought her dress was cute, but not on her. The shape was wrong, the length was wrong, and the color was wrong....for her.

As for Rami's dress, I liked it, except the color was too bland and it looked too much his dress from the first challenge.

My favorite, though, was Sweet Pea's champagne dress. That's a prom dress that can be reused endlessly....then altered and reused again.

I feel so good for this challenge!!! IT WAS A-MAH-ZING!!!



Chris and Christian' was gorges!

You know, I never even remember that Kit's even there. I think I just integrated her with Sweet P. (What? She looks like she could be Sweet P's daughter.)

But I'll remember her now. That dress was beyond Fugly.

oh you mean....Ricky? he's always crying...

Oh, yeah, Ricky. Why the hell haven't they kicked his boring ass off yet?

Meanwhile, I'm still not seeing a clear frontrunner yet, but here's my prediction for the Final Four: Christian, Sweet P, Rami, and Jillian.

Based on last season, it works out fairly well. You had Uli who, when left to her own devices, will make the same dress over and over again in the same color palette. This would be Rami. Then there was Laura, the older designer who acted like your mom. This season it's Sweet P. There's also Michael, who gets the role of the young designer who does beautiful work but needs lots of experience, represented as Christian this season. As for Jeffrey, he has no actual equivalent because Jillian doesn't remind me of him at all.

Now, these are highly interchangeable when you take aspects of their personality into account.

Ricky needed to go ages ago, all he ever does is cry! And his designs are boring and over played . . .

As for the finals, I see Christian most definitely. He just really needs to get out of brown, but he sort of did that this past week. (And by the way, if he worked for Alexander McQueen WHY THE FUCK IS HE ON PROJECT RUNWAY!? McQueen is like one of the Fashion Gods at the moment, he has his own bloody House of Couture for Christ's sake!!!) Anywho . . .

I see Rami, his work is gorges and always flawless. However his greatest weakness is that it tends to be the same. I would love to see Chris be there to the end, and I can see it happening, he just needs to edit, and has the greatness for that Avant-Garde look.

I think you posted in the wrong thread, babe.

That's right, dear... try to make it relate...

Anyway, no new episode this week and I'm distraught about it. On the bright side, I got to re-re-watch the Avant Garde challenge of two weeks ago so I can marvel at the faaaaaabulous organza ruffle monster Christian and Chris made.

And drool over that sexy trenchcoat Jillian and Victorya made....

Only to watch Victorya go home the next episode for making the same damn thing a week later. It was like some horrible love child of that beautiful trenchcoat and that hideous "ice princess" dress from the Candy Challenge.

Seriously, what the hell were you AND Jillian thinking?!

I liked Christians look a lot better than Ricky's, And if Chris had frayed the mother out of his dress, OMG it would have been hott!

I am really looking forward to this weeks challenge though, WWE? Hmm- How in the HELL does this have to do with fashion?

*is worried*
