Non-Fiction TV: I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own
This thread is for non-fiction TV, including but not limited to reality television (So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef: Masters, Project Runway), documentaries (The History Channel, The Discovery Channel), and sundry (Expedition Africa, Mythbusters), et al. [NAFDA]
I loved both of the top two teams -- but yeah, Victorya and Jillian's rocked. It's what Michael Kors said - want to wear that outfit.
But the couture dress for Chris and Christian was just so outrageous. Both teams were excelllent in their own ways.
And I also cannot believe that Ricky lives to cry on national tv another day. I understand that Kit took the hit because she was team leader but man - it's just wrong that he's still in!
I need that coat.
I'll fight you for it :) That was a hard decision to make. I would have been happy with either winner. Both were very strong, and I loved the coat in an unhealthy way. I could rock the HELL out of that coat. I think that the ultimate decision came down to the compatibilty of the two looks. C & C's (I refuse to call them Team Fierce) two looks were extremely complementary and really fit one another, while the black dress was cute, and it matched, but didn't really evoke the avant garde look. When Micheal said of Jillian and Victorya's outfit "women want to wear those clothes", I thought HELL YEAH, I want that coat. The skirt on C&C's RTW outfit was meh, but that dress was fabulous
I'm so upset that Kit is out. I thought she had a lot of potential. I liked her a person and a designer. I thought she did a consistently good job. I would have dumped Rami's unimaginative ass. I didn't like Rami as a person. He was extra rigid, and once again, draped. Beautiful, but the same again! I mean, I like his aesthethic, but can he not drape something? The only thing he didn't drape was the candy challenge, and you can't drape plastic!
I didn't hate Christian this time around, he was still annoying, but not teeth grindingly so, just eyerollingly.
What the hell was going on with Jillian's outfit? Short shorts, leggings, and heels? UGH
Yes, that dress was just AMAZING.
Loved C&C's dress and V&J's jacket equally, so the second look was probably the dividing line for the judges, and I agree with their final decision of the winner.

This was exactly what I feared from the very first episode. I recognized his ability to drape beautifully, but I want to see something else. After all, you don't bore Nina, and he's getting frightfully close to that!
I loved how Rami was like, "You've never seen me make a corset before!" Um, sure, but that doesn't make it avant-garde! And I was glad Sweet P got credit for her work.
I really loved this episode, because this is the kind of crazy OTT fashion I want to see on ProRun EVERY WEEK. I think that "Team Fierce" dress was in my top three PR looks now (1. Chrysler Building dress. 2. Fierce dress. 3. Vosovic orchid blouse). But the elimination was really, really wrong, given that Kit has consistently done good work and been unpraised. Her shit must look wrong on the runway, I dunno. Also, of course, I loved how when Ricky wasn't crying in the interviews, he had JUST BEEN CRYING! Ricky, Ricky. Don't ever change.
Also, in agreement that that fucking coat was AMAZING.
Oh, and I forgot to say, I hate Sweet Pea. What happened to her to make her so incredibly whiny? She just seems about 25 years younger. Jillian too. There was way too much whine with my PR cheese last night.

Seriously!
And OMGWTF! Kit! She was my pick for sleeper hit of the season. And this so should have been her episode. All she had to do was bust out one of her crazy art installation concepts and it would have been made of win. Did she ever explain the inspiration, the whole birds' nest thing? Ricky made the exact same dress he's made this whole season, just with Kit's cloth.
Anyway, that coat! I need that coat. It made me gasp when it flared out at the start of the runway. But seriously, Jillian needs to get her shit together. All the other designers have the same amount of time she does. She needs to freaking manage her time.
Chris & Christian's dress was unbelievably gorgeous. It was exactly what the judges were looking for, and everyone else should have known it. And I love that Chris got given a lot of rope and totally didn't hang himself. He was given an OTT challenge, and he made something tasteful and elegant and still totally over the top.
(Mmm, orchid blouse.)
I liked Rami at the beginning, but I'm so over it. Sweet Pea's dress was great, and I'd wear it. And his dress was a mess. If it was a corset dress, you barely knew it from the aesthetic.
Oh, Kit! I'll miss you!
I kind of figure that a grown woman who goes by Sweet P tells you all you need to know. I still like her, though!

Ditto.
OOh, Tim gives credit for the design of the coat to Jillian. Interesting.
