sumi! I thought the exact same thing when we first saw Rami's work! They designed the same collections!
I'm really worried about Chris and the hair.
Who was the real power? The Captain? or Tenille?

PR, I think they made the wrong choice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I'm more convinced than ever that Roberto Cavalli made them keep Chris last round.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Jesse, I bet you're right. I also far preferred Chris's line.
Here is what bugged me about the episode: I know, it's reality television, and lots of things are faked for television. But could they have said more times that this runway show was about who was going to show at fashion week? And it's the biggest deal of all time to show at fashion week? And the winner gets to show at fashion week? THREE! PEOPLE! FASHION! WEEK! Fashion week! Like 25 times! But of course, of ALL the things that this runway show was to accomplish, even the casual watcher knows that the one thing this runway didn't do was determining WHO SHOWED AT FASHION WEEK!
I think I would have been ok if they had one time described the prize as being "in the final three" or "showing the collection on television" or "in the running for the prize" or something else that was actually true. It was consistently annoying.

I wanted to see both collections! I wanted them to do what they did in the last season, and let there be 4 shows! wah!

Because books.
I thought for a moment that's what they were going to do, quester. Alas.
I'm bummed. Human hair or not, I loved what Chris showed, and I realized that I'm always *interested* in what he's going to do. Rami usually delivers something well-constructed and flawless, but he's never made anything that blew me away. I just can't get excited about him.
That first outfit of Chris's was fantastic, the shape, the silhouette, the textures, the bit of shine. Really lush dark elegance.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Chris' work was fucking bad-ass! He was robbed, and I seriously question the artistic integrity of the judges.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You kind of knew Chris was doomed when he pulled out the human hair.

But this is my point -- this is a show where the designers are constantly told to think outside the box, and constantly challenged to work with odd materials. Chris took all of the lessons from the show and pushed them to the Nth degree. To paraphrase a friend of mine, Chris made art. Rami just made clothes.
