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?

I wasn't thrilled with the top looks, either. I didn't get Laura's at all.
Yeah, I think if it only makes sense when you explain it, then it doesn't actually make sense. Not that it wasn't pretty on its own.
I was surprised that Josh(?) didn't win, only because the judges seemed so wowed by it.
Viktor is starting to win me over, although I hated his dress.

They'll be in two teams of five next week. I can't see that going well, not this season.
