I love Tim's take. A few choice bits:
Frankly, the decision to toss [winner] this win eluded me. In my view, the electric blue textile said “superhero” not prom. Furthermore, the jewel emblazoned panel on the front of the halter made the dress look more appropriate for a hostess at a Vegas cocktail lounge than a teenager attending a suburban prom.
It’s essential that the designers look around the workroom and assess how their design measures up to everyone else’s (but without harboring the delusions of Christian).

THANK YOU, Tim!!! That was my take exactly.
Hee.
I figure that Ricky's time is nigh.
I figure that Ricky's time is nigh.
I've thought it was nigh from about the first episode but he keeps holding on. Kevin's done consistently far better work than Ricky has.
As we finished watching last night I asked my 16 y.o. if she would wear Victorya's dress and she said "not in a million years!" I asked if any of her friends would and she said "as a joke". Kevin's dress came across to me as too casual for prom, but it wasn't as awful as Christian's was.
My Tivo cut out just before they announced who was auf'ed. I gather it was Kevin? I can live with that.
Christian's dress was a mess but Ricky's was soooo boring AND a mess. I just don't get why he isn't gone yet! so irritating.
I didn't mind his dress that much, but I agree that he should be gone already.
I think that they had a good point about the color, though. Not very prom-y. I love Rami's stuff, but he has a very narrow point of view.
I thought the color was off too. It also might be that the green wasn't quite right for his model--hard to tell on screen. But green is really unforgiving if it doesn't go with your coloring.
Mostly I thought it showed that the limitations of his style.
I really think that Rami was taking advantage of the fact that he had immunity to just do whatever he wanted and I'm happy that the result was that he wound up in the bottom . . . uh five or six.
Project Rungay are pretty incensed about the auffing.
OMG, I've never seen Project Rungay before! Oh, what I've been missing out on!
And Now, A Word From Christian
So, my minion greeted me this morning with, "Are you so upset about Kevin?!?" But I hadn't actually watched the show yet! Oops. It's just as well, I guess, since Bravo didn't alert the DVR that the show was running over..... Anyway, I'm not that upset about Kevin.
Here's what I did like: they set up the challenge to succeed. They gave the designers a lot of money and plenty of time, both for sewing and with the models. So that was good.
