I liked Rami originally, and today he managed to trample my last nerve. I wanted him to go tonight.
Me too, DD.
Mmmmm, I'm imagining Christian in some shirtless shots, mmmmmm.

I would like to see Christian, SweetPea and Rami in the final 3. I really think Sweetpea just needs the chance to shine. And even though I think Ram is a one-hit-wonder, I think a whole collection by him would be amazing. And Christian - well, he's really grown on me. I really do believe he may be the best designer out of all of them.
While I understand that Kit was the team leader and thus bore the brunt of the responsibility for last night's debacle, Ricky has been in the bottom every week since, like, episode 2. He's not creative, his technical skills are seriously lacking, and he's sent unfinished/poorly made garments down the runway more than once. I would have cut him weeks ago. Up until now, Kit has been nothing but meticulous; correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think she'd ever been up on the chopping block before last night.
I have a feeling Jillian will go all the way. She's extremely impressive, conceptually and execution-wise. When Sweet P is on, she's really on. Last night's ready-to-wear look was flawless, and the prom dress last week was probably my favorite outfit of the season thus far. I doubt Rami will make it, since the judges have recognized and called him out as a one-note designer.
My final three prediction: Christian, Jillian, and _________...I'd like to see Sweet P, but practically, I'd say Victorya.
What a fab challenge with two SPECTACULAR mini 'collections' from the top teams. I think both avant garde looks are better than anything I've seen on the show to date. Leaving the ready to wear wrench out of it, I still can't believe those two teams completed those looks with that much detail in the time allotted.
But, alas, we are still left with the Puerto Rican Norma Shearer. Honestly...can't his tears at least be entertaining? Can't they at least be so over-the-top that I dance a jig in delight at his histrionics? Right now, they're the same level of entertaining as a 20-something drunk girl's blubbering when she thinks no one's going to love her. BORING.
Jillian's jacket was SO amazing! It also truly was inspired by the hairdo...not so sure about Christian's, tho I loved his challenge dress...Jillian won again with her ready to wear dress, imo.
That said...I never heard Heidi say that the team leader would be going home...Ricky had just as much to do with the task failing as Kit, perhaps even more...his ready to wear was terrible, and we know he cant sew.
Ram me's dress pissed me off SO much, after the bitchy way he treated Sweetpea, even if crying to the model is pretty unprofessional, imo.
I miss Kevin's chest, and Ricky's is no substitute...so it's Ram me who must wake up each week shirtless...no other options will do.
Here is Ram me's fashion week collection:
After seeing everything that Ricky has done so far, I don't even know how he was brought onto the show in the first place.
I adore Christian and Chris together. And I was so excited to see Chris get a chance to do what he does best. And even then, it wasn't out-of-control or too over-the-top (I mean...it was supposed to be at least a little over-the-top). The only thing I wish is that they used a little color. Still antique looking, but just some color. And Rami...good God...STOP with the GREY goddess dresses. I feel like this season as been the most bland season as far as color. They all love their neutrals this season!
Anyhow...Jillian's workmanship is outstanding. That coat was stunning! And the dress was cute, too! I'm sad to see Kit go over Ricky.
I hesitantly agree that Christian is talented. He's got a long career ahead of him. But his personality is soooo grating, that I have to really concentrate on his talent to forgo wanting him booted.
Ricky can't even rely on his talent.
I adore Sweet P. I don't know what it is about her. She's got that motherly gene or something that endears me to her. Yet, she's a cool, tatooed, talented mom. Her dresses the last two weeks have been adorable. Hopefully, she's on the upward slope and will be a real frontrunner.
Jillian and Victorya may be ice bitches but they are talented. And Rami, sigh...beautiful but last night showed a control freak side.

Jillian's and VYctYrYa's collection was great. That coat - my goodness, it was awesome. I loved the "punk/equestrian" interpretation of the hairstyle. Christian's and Chris's was fantastic -- all those layers of gorgeous fabric. Bravo to these two teams. The definitely deserved to be the top two.
Ricky needs to GO. I can understand why they sent Kit (team leader and all), but Ricky has been getting by on the skin of his teeth and he needs to go home already. His dresses look like the ones I made in Home Ec. Too simple for a design competition.
Rami - goodness. He is a control freak. He is the kind of guy if you worked for him, you would quit your job (I've had bosses like that). Shut up and let people do their work already! Jerk. He sure does look good though.
doodle - LOL at that "collection!" Draping indeed!

When Rami behaves like that, someone (meaning me) should just take his face in their hands and plant a big ol' kiss on him. I can't believe I just said that, but I did!!
I've always found Rami hot...until he sashayed out the door in a huff like early career Loretta Devine about to launch into AIN'T NO PARTY.
Mary, please.
okay...I know I'm the dirty old man on this board, but did you see his butt in those jeans? Hicheewowow!
He's great looking, but a tool.
I would've dated him in the 80s, when I was only into dating great looking tools.

doodle, you are? I thought you were around 30.
What, preteens can't date tools? Why was I not informed of this rule before 1999?
In Rami's defense, she WAS working kind of slow...
By whose standard?
They were ahead of schedule at the end of the day, that's all that mattered.
"I was hoping Rami was going home. He's a one trick pony and I'm sick of it. I didn't like his attitude with Sweet P either."
Same here. He reminds me of Ullie (sp?) from last season. If I see one more twisted fabric strap, I'm gonna hurl.
WHY IS RICKY STILL ON THE SHOW???
I told you-BECAUSE HE CRIES!!!!!!
He better not cheer up, lol.
Have no fear Jane; they showed him breaking down again in the preview for next week. How many times does he have to be in the bottom 3 before he gets the boot.
I know! I saw him crying in the previews! What's with him? He seems to be the only drama on there this season. But he's not great as a designer, is he?
yeah, again in Rami's defense, those pants that Sweet P made were very very poorly made...
But it was the top that didn't even approach avant garde. And it was her RTW garment that saved his tush.
As for Ricky, I'm beginning to get a sinking feeling that he might just row down a river of tears to Olympus Fashion Week.
Could someone please resize that photo?
Finally saw last nights show and I must say the clothes were absolutely faboo. What a change of pace from last week's boreathon.
Regarding Ram-me. I hope he's cut not because he's an arse or he was "mean" to Sweetpea (who just doesn't look like she has the spine to be successful in the design industry), but because he already seems to have a career. I'm not even really sure why he was let on the show to begin with...he's dressed Paris Hilton for Chrissakes! He's more successful than Jay McCarroll! I think this came through last night, he treated Sweetpea like a businessman.
Maybe they keep him on to have more shirtless shots, which I'm all for of course....but could we have more screentime for that? .75 seconds is not enough!!
"As for Ricky, I'm beginning to get a sinking feeling that he might just row down a river of tears to Olympus Fashion Week."
Now that's funny! But I doubt if they'd go that far. they have to think about the show's integrity, don't they? a little?
