I didn't hate Josh's as much as they did, but I think he missed a serious opportunity with that painting. It was so powerful, with so much texture, and I didn't see the correlation between it and the garment at all.

Same with olivier's. What the hell happened there?

I don't think Olivier got that painting at all, or couldn't translate it into anything he was comfortable with. Complete disconnect.

Josh was so excited about the painting to start off and then just talked himself out of anything innovative.

I wasn't thrilled with the top looks, either. I didn't get Laura's at all.

I didn't mind the top looks, I was surprised that Kimberly's or Anya's weren't in the top. But, then, what the hell do I know about avant garde?

I didn't dislike them, I just wasn't wowed by any of them. There was not much to distinguish the top 3 from the safe, uh, five I guess? Though I suspect the neoprene skirt might have been more impressive in person. And I liked the idea of the winning dress.

I think that the main reason that the winning dress won is that it was a great interpretation of the painting without being too literal. He didn't have to explain it, while the others all did.

Exactly, Vortex. And it was a stunning dress, even if it needed some better finishing.

Wait, are two people going home this week?

I love Amy's optimism.

Oliver's accent is all over the fucking place. TLo commented about it ep 1 and they were sure right. Gah. He was raised in Ohio and spent years in England. WTF is with his speech patterns? I wish the show would hire a speech coach for him just to get the accent consistent.

Tim is pissed the fuck off. He has had it with every one of them.

That's true, I don't begrudge the winner's win at all.

I just watched the runway again, because it was there, and I like most of the outfits. Even Olivier's makes more sense when it's moving. But what I love is the kid's reactions.

Next week looks kind of nightmarish.

I missed that -- what happens?
