That's fair.

I feel like Brick has needed to go home for a while now, so I was OK with his aufing. That said, Cornelius' look was a hot ass mess. The fit on that top was just egregiously bad and the whole look was uninspired. I could buy those pants at any hood swap meet anywhere. I'm ready for Cornelius to go home any time now. He's tiresome and his whole Mean Girls schtick rubs me the wrong way. I don't know what's going on with Erin, but her last two looks have been awful. Those shorts with the yellow moss were not right. Not right at all.

Still love Laurence. I want her to win and then move to LA and be my friend.

Moss is generous. It was more like a radioactive cancerous growth.

Me too. I think that it will be her and Erin in the finale.

Does she evoke ita to anyone else? Not so much is like ita, but the quiet strength, the slight lilt in her dialect just reminds me of ita in a way.

That is clearly the proper outcome.

Yes, indeed. Or maybe "the girl" she designs for is very ita-like? Which kind of amounts to the same thing.

I'm not a huge fan of Cornelius and I'm not sure if he's going to be able to stay out of the bottom but he was at an extreme disadvantage this week and I wish the judges had taken that into more consideration.

I really really loved Team Blue's collection and so glad Roberi won. I wasn't a huge fan of the skirt but that's a personal style issue but I LOVED the top. That top, Laurence's pants (she's selling me on drop crotch pants looking comfy and interesting although probably not my body type), and Rik's coat together would have been perfect.

Dexter and Erin were the worst kind of mean girls ever last night. I wanted to smack them repeatedly about the neck and chest. Ugh. I actually really loved Erin's coat, even the giant outside pockets, but that was pretty much the only thing from that collection that I liked. I was happy with the Tim Gunn save going to Cornelius, even though he's been getting on my nerves himself for quite some time now, if only to piss Erin and Dexter off.

I loved Team Blue's collection. Roberi's look was divine and I would wear it and he finally got a win so I was satisfied. I also really liked Rik's coat and Laurence's whole look! I really think Laurence and Roberi will be there at the end along with Erin, whom the judges seem to enjoy far more than I do.

I didn't get Team Neutral. Jenni's aesthetic is just not mine. The popcorn top was not to my liking. I did enjoy the pants, but she didn't make those, soooo. I was happy to see that Mah Jing was able to speak up for himself and the collection got better after he called out the issues he was seeing during the Tim Gunn critique, but I thought his dress was just alright.

I'm still enjoying this season a lot! Loved Kelly Osbourne on the panel. I wish she'd replace Zach.

Agreed. Cornelius' aufing was wrong, but the judges only got a hint of the backstory. Tim tried to let them know by telling them that there were two mean girls on the team, but they didn't get it. I had hoped that they realized that Cornelius had sacrificed when he gave up his look to make a more cohesive collection. But, that's what the Tim Gunn save is for.

I wish she'd replace Zach.

I wish that an empty chair would replace Zach. I so dislike him. Part of it is me missing La Kors, but Posen is a poor substitute.

I'm really sick of the judges blaming a bullied team member for getting bullied, and I think Tim is too.
