Because books.

Oh, I thought Taylor was beautiful -- both she and Koine really impressed me.

I would have much rather Logan made it to the final four than Kiki, yeah.

It's so good to have Mia back -- that group number was really powerful.

I don't understand the attuide of designers not speaking up about what happened with Claire. I'm not sure if it Michael and Margarita know or thonk they know about the pants so they just think it about Claire copying the previous winning look and asking for help or something else.

I'm really surprised no one brought up the extent of Claire helping Shawn but I guess that is moot. Use your words people!

I don't always watch the interactions with the designers, but Margarita was talking about how Claire had a measuring tape in the bathroom, which I guess was implying that she was working on designs in the apartment? I remember that there was one guy who had pattern books under his bed in the apartment and would lock himself in the bathroom with the shower running to look at them.

I am watching the current great British bake off when I can find illegally you tubes of it and I looooove it. I mean, I miss Mel and Sue, but I don't mind the new judge or the lady presenter, though I dislike the guy kind of. But the contestants are fab as usual.

I will admit I never have watched, but I literally, as someone who sometimes makes patterns for a living, could understand how you can make the pattern without a reference- whether it is your previous patterns or a book. Pattern making and designing are two different skills, and every good pattern maker I know has to reference things. You can't just draw a pattern! I get that they mostly use draping, while I tend to draft using measurements, and that I am looking for custom fit and they are fitting models, but still...

They aren't allowed reference materials or maybe it's outside reference materials.

I don't understand why Michael didn't just go to production to say something or why he was being so cryptic about it. Or why margarita wouldn't say something.

Leaving that aside I don't know why the designers didn't complain about Claire's extensive help do Shawn way earlier. It was unfair but I guess pointing out semi cheating is considered more unfair?

Actually I think the producers should have said something but generally they seem to be hands off.

That is not what I thought would happen on PR.

I'm pissed at Claire's attitude. She broke the rules and acted like it was no big deal.

Sophia. The designers are allows to measure their clothes in the workroom.

They can't have a measuring tape in the hotel room. Claire was measuring gatmets she owned at the hotel room and that is what disqualified her.

Wow. That would just be so hard. I have very little concept of how I would make things without references.
