Kayne is tacky through and through.

I was thrilled to see Angela go home. Maybe now she'll grow out of her girlscout mentality. I do think that Jeffery's nasty comments were completely unjustified, though. He should go home on the basis of disgusting conduct.

I really miss Alison.

Even though Jeffrey was sort of an ass to Angela's mom (which was not cool at all) in the last episode, I really like his clothes, espicially what he made this week. He's definately one of the more unique designers on the show. I also really like all of Michael's clothes. Did anyone read the article in EW this week? I agree with their "top 3" prediction of Michael, Kayne, and Uli (and their comment about them wanting Laura to stay long enough so they can watch her eat everyone was incredibly amusing).

I'm hoping for Micheal, Uli and Laura. I swear that every rhinestone Kayne adds makes his clothes look ten dollars cheaper.

Jeffery's blue and yellow party dress was fantastic and it deserved to beat Micheal's nifty little skirt and bustier. No dress, however, can make up for his superiority complext. I want to strangle his stupidly tattooed neck.

Uli is definitely my favorite, but I think the judges were right about her needing to do something besides a long flowey dress. She could replace Robert if she doesn't mix it up.

i'm so so so glad that Angela is gone... and so happy that Jeffrey won... he really deserved it

the funny thing is... each of them really did embody their own personal style... and i'm pretty sure that they would all wear what they made... so it must REALLY suck to be kicked off on this particular challenge

i really really can't stand Laura... i'm pretty sure i have at least three of the same dress that she made... ughhh she is so so so boring and tired... i just wish that the judges would call her out on it

my hopes for the top three are Jeffrey, Michael and Uli.... but i would take Kayne and even Vincent over Laura... She definitely needs to go!

I was disappointed in Kayne's Elvis outfit. He really is a one trick pony, and I'm sure he won't win. The right person was eliminated-what WAS she thinking???

[ZONEACE]

Posted: 8/31/06 at 7:57am

I think the Final three should be Michael Laura and Ulli, but Jeffery will probably make it to the final 3 over Ulli.


oh, and i just have to say, I LOVE LAURA.

[blueroses]

Posted: 8/31/06 at 9:06am

I love Laura, too, and I loved her dress.

Kayne. Oy. Throw on a little fringe and it would be perfect for Johnny Weir at the nationals. Ugh!

Jeff is still a bitter, smug @sshole of a manchild. Therefore, I couldn't be happy for his win. Yeah, he did a good job. But I didn't looove it. Oh yay...leggings! Skinny pants, whatever. He had rhinestones on his schlong. Yeah, yeah...rock and roll! Eh.

He was creative, but I'd have given him the win for his newspaper/graffiti dress instead and given last night's to Michael or Laura.

*shrugs* Sue me, but I loved Uli's dress. I thought the colors and the workmanship were beautiful.

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 8/31/06 at 9:09am

It had to hurt like hell sitting for 7 hours with that bling on his winkie, so how did that equate to a win with "comfort and travel" as criteria. Ugh!

Did anybody else wonder how Laura went from being a twig one week to be very noticeably pregnant the next. Boy did she pop!

[blueroses]

Posted: 8/31/06 at 9:13am

I just noticed a little bump but, yes, it was noticeable. Mainly because it was jersey. That material is great for traveling because it doesn't wrinkle, but it IS clingy. I still think that color on her was beautiful...with her pale skin and red lips and bright red hair. I loved that dress.

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 8/31/06 at 9:19am

She looked smashing. And I loved when they showed her on the plane with the knot on the front.

[sweetestsiren]

Posted: 8/31/06 at 9:26am

Jeffrey annoys me to no end. That said, he's a pretty interesting designer. Michael and Uli are probably my favorites both in personality and on the runway. I liked Laura at first because she makes sort of classic clothes that I would actually consider wearing, but she's produced outfits that I've hated and the judges seem to have loved. I hated the stupid white dress she made for the recycling challenge, and it almost won. Kayne seems to be in a rut these past weeks... I like him, but not everything can be pageantwear.

Despite thinking that Vincent should've gone home instead of Alison that week, I think they made the right choice last night.

[blueroses]

Posted: 8/31/06 at 9:31am

"Despite thinking that Vincent should've gone home instead of Alison that week, I think they made the right choice last night."

So do I. Jubilee Jumbles deserved the boot for that ugly psychedelic atrocity. But I kinda felt bad for her when Michael said, "you're a mess just STANDING THERE! Imagine how you'll look after traveling." Ouch.

P.S. Isn't Michael sexy?

I missed last night. I'm sure I'll catch a repeat this weekend. But quick q: what was the challenge this week?

Thanks!

blueroses - Michael as in Orange Man or Michael as in the cutie in seersucker cargo pants? if the latter. Mmm hmmm!

Here goes...SPOILERS if you haven't seen last night's episode!

OK - Jeffrey's was cool; I actually did like it. but does anyone else think it was a bit predictable? I mean, when Tim said "the jetsetter is you." The first thing that went through my mind for Jeffrey was "rock T-shirt, purple something or other and tight trousers with chains and bits....thank you Dave Navarro for the inspiration." I will admit it did look good, but I could have done without the rhinestone encrusted crotch (and you talk about other people's "insecurities" Jeff?).

Regardless, he is still a big,annoying JERK.

I loved Michael's Hamptons hip-hop look. The shirt was a good choice. I love how easy going he is - Tim makes a suggestion and he really takes it to heart and "makes it work." I think Michael should have won again, but Jeffrey's was also very good.

Loved Laura's dress. I thought it was wonderful - especially all the draping over the bodice. She looked great in it too. And it was nice to see how well it held up on the plane.

Kayne - Oh my, Miss Kayne! The shirt would not have been too bad, had he toned down the pattern. But, having it on the back AND the sleeves looked atrocious. I also thought the flared pants made him look very short. It was funny how "stiff" he seemed on the runway. I would have expected a little "work it girl" from him on the runway, but he was all business!

Uli - I thought this dress was very pretty, and very Uli. Uli is one of my faves, but I think the judges are going to get on her case for always making a wonderful print, halter-top dress. Her dresses are beautiful, but they all have the same basic style (which I love, by the way).

Vincent - black trousers and a gray V-neck. Not much to comment on here...

Angela - Oy vey. Disaster. The top was kind of cute, but too puffy. But those trousers with the reinforced crotch and the rosettes in that waxy looking linen? I didn't like them at all. Poor Angela - she actually is a fine seamstress and is very good with detailing. It's her style that's just too bizarre and not in very good taste. It was kind of sad to see her go in a way, because she seems like a nice person.

Top three? I would take Michael, Laura and Uli. Although I think the judges may let Jeffrey slide in there. Ick. Ick. Rhinestone zipper - ICK!

"blueroses - Michael as in Orange Man or Michael as in the cutie in seersucker cargo pants?"

GAH! Not Kors! lol.

"Top three? I would take Michael, Laura and Uli. Although I think the judges may let Jeffrey slide in there. Ick. Ick. Rhinestone zipper - ICK!"

I'd love to see those three in the finals. But Jeff and his Hot Topic bedazzled balls just may slip through the cracks.

xxnewgirlxx - To answer your question, the challenge was to design for a jetsetter. The designers then found out they had to design an outfit for themselves (and model it on the runway). They were judged by Nina, Michael, Heidi and the creative director of womenswear from Calvin Klein. Then, as a surprise, they were being flown to a secret destination on the spot. Turned out it was Paris, where their outfits were evaluated by designer Catherine Malandrino (criteria: how well the clothing held up on a flight). Updated On: 8/31/06 at 10:35 AM

Blueroses, I love you for the Johnny Weir comment...truly.

I agree that Jeffrey deserved to win this week (dang it), slightly over Michael, who I want to win so badly now! He is a doll and SO articulate when explaining his garments. Who didn't love his runway lesson with Kayne :)

I actually thought there were good points to Kaynes outfit (no I didnt grow up in a trailer park!) It fit him well...it acually made him thinner. I also thought it travelled very well.

I am tired of Laura's designs. Simply put.

I am tired of Ulli's designs. I get it. Mismatched print dresses. I get it.

Angela's excuse about not understanding what a jetsetter would wear was idiotic. She threw in the towel...gave up this week. Good!

[blueroses]

Posted: 8/31/06 at 10:47am

doodle, I love Johnny Weir. He is in his own little world when he skates, and when he is "on" he is a dream to watch. He may not be the most athletic, but I've always, always preferred the artistic skaters. I also love how comfortable he is in his own skin.

"I actually thought there were good points to Kaynes outfit (no I didnt grow up in a trailer park!) It fit him well...it acually made him thinner. I also thought it travelled very well."

True. The problem is he didn't know when to stop with that print. It was really, really costume-y.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 8/31/06 at 10:47am

Gotta agree with just about what everyone has said this week.

If she had made a high-end hunting outfit - and claimed where she comes from, jetsetters hunt - well, maybe she could have survived, but what she decided to make made no sense. Something with pockets and and a vest and all that stuff that ... think Dick Cheney!

I wonder how much Jeffrey's constant mind games with her (which he apparently won) had to do with the mess she put together.

The fabrics were all wrong - the colors were just OK - it was more like a wealthy college co-eds travel outfit than anything else ... and enough with the flowers already - know when not to use something for good sake.

It was a close call between her and Kayne. Kayne was just about as bad - except his at least could travel a bit better.

I hated that I like Jeffrey's outfit.

[peach]

Posted: 8/31/06 at 10:48am

In real life, I think Michael's, Vincent's and perhaps Uli's and Kayne's would actually travel the best.

Jeff's crotch would set off the metal detectors at security! ICK! ICK!

If Uli's dress were a bit shorter, I bet that would travel well in real life too.

When I travel, which for work is more often that I like to, I often wear things like light sweaters with wool pants, or jersey knit wrap dresses in dark colors...they don't wrinkle and if turbulence drops a bit off coffee into my lap, I can still be presentable at a meeting! Considering that, and also condsidering comfort, I think Michael, Uli and Vincent were the most "practical" followed by Laura and Kayne.

No doubt the Elvis suit was bad taste, I just thought it kind of looked good on him...fit wise.

And I love me some Johnny Weir too. Noone like him.

'cause really, the shot of his leftover fat boy man boobs was just ick.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 8/31/06 at 10:58am

Well, he did admit to losing weight recently while trying to dress Michael's mom last week...so that wasnt a surprise. I was wondering where his gut went when he walked down the runway...Oh right, it showed up on Laura.

[blueroses]

Posted: 8/31/06 at 10:59am

"'cause really, the shot of his leftover fat boy man boobs was just ick."

Yeah, what was up with the semi-naked designers? They filmed them getting changed? I'm sure Laura won't appreciate her girdle...er, "shapewear" being televised. Kayne's boobs and briefs.

Oh, and Vincent just sitting around designing in his boxers...just because?

[peach]

Posted: 8/31/06 at 11:39am

Laura is going to faint when she sees her "shapewear" (that made me giggle - thanks blueroses) televised. Not only are they showing her Nancy Ganz - it's her butt of all things! Poor lady.

I think Vincent was in his boxers because he was using the actual pants he had been wearing to construct a pattern for his travel-trousers.

But I'd rather see Vincent in his boxers than Jeffrey's rhinstone bid-ness. ICK! (Did I mention how grossed out I was by that?)
