I actually loved the toga thing. that draping is gorgeous! Plus, it would look good on my butt.

I'm telling you, poor construction is the kiss of the death.

eta: What did I tell you? kiss. of. death.

Wow. I was not a fan of the winning dress. It was just . . . boring. Looked like something a sorority girl would make to go to a toga party.

Yay! NuNick made it through to the next round. The bootee was very obvious.

Huh -- I was kind of assuming Ricky would be out, since his pieces for the pre-show show were lingerie, and I was thinking that must mean he hadn't gotten into anything else.

I was scared for Ricky, but his garment was very well made (if somewhat boring) and I gotta agree with Vortex that poor construction is a one way ticket to getting auf'ed.

Also, this week's winner and the dude in the blue t-shirt are very, very pretty.

I cannot wait to hear Michael Kors take about turning someone into a streetwalker. Should be fun.

me too. Plus, he got a lot of screen time.

The poor construction combined with the boring design deserved the boot. Ricky's babydoll may have been boring to the judges, but I thought the fabric choice made it lovely. The girl with the train should have just cut the damned thing off! Because the dress was nice except for that.

I didn't like Christians brown plaid jacket at all! I can't believe he was top 3! I loved the winner. That kind of draping is an art. I just hope it's not all he can do.

Oh and I liked the purple dress and the orange/red one too.

I thought all the designs were meh to awful. I am scared for this season, but must have faith in the Elves! I am pleased that they got rid of the "model competition" and the audition sequences.

But wtf was up with those shoes! Not a single model could walk in them. Or else all the models were amateurs.

I think that Christian's color sense is suspect but the back of that jacket looked great. (I think that was the only thing I liked about it - he kept saying how well it fit the model and I thought it looked off.)

Liked Rami (Rahmi?). And I think that Elisa's dress without the train could have been a winner - it looked sharp and the color was great.

Man, at this stage there are so many competitors it's hard to distinguish them.

yeah, a couple of them walked like linebackers.

(I think that was the only thing I liked about it - he kept saying how well it fit the model and I thought it looked off.)

she was slouching with one hand on her hip. It made the jacket look uneven. If she'd stood up straight, it would have been fine.
