I think they had someone go to the ER once and she came back and designed a dress inspired by the hospital curtains.

Was the drama of this episode that Amanda is sad? Seriously? Who the hell likes Amanda's designs anyway? She and Sandhya can both go now.

Fashion gods be praised, Dita is here!
… and another Blogger that isn't Tom & Lorenzo judging? No, this will not do. I-ah think her-ah accent is-ah fake-ah. It-ah has to be-ah.

Top
Winner
Sean

It's slick. I love it but Kini did finish the top for him and did a kick-rear end look himself. Kini should have won this. Anyone else a little freaked out by how tiny this model's ankles are?

Kini

Look at all that work. Beautiful. Robbed.

The Middle
Emily

Stevie Nicks halloween costume. Just add tambourine.

Fade

It's a short, tight dress. The fabric treatment is the only thing keeping stout of Forever 21 but in to bebe. Heidi thinks it should be sexier, of course.

Amanda

It's another Amanda look. It's still very 90's but I kinda like it.

Korina

This looks like poo poo. The jacket is boxy, loose and uneven. It's a look an average student does in a high school home-ec. class

Bottom
Alexander


Samantha

The lace and appliqué is so hosed out.

Sandhya

It's a tortured baby doll rendered in an gaudy color that no one will look good in

Sadly, Vanessa passed more than a year ago, and she took a little bit of me with her when she went. I still think about her every day, she was a very special cat.

Chalmers weighs as much as a small sedan and Spaghetti is mostly aloof since Karate Slut moved in.

As generally lovely as I think Alexander's been this season, he nailed the top of Sandhya's with the chewed-up corncob comparison. Char did way worse though, yikes.

Fade finally in the top, yay. Kini should have said he did the shirt if he wanted credit for it, but he should have won on his dress alone. Whatever, not like he'd go next week without getting a Tim Gunn save.

Did anyone else kind of get excited about the prospect of Sandhya making something using bright and bold colors only to be disappointed with that mess of a dress? I mean, what the hell? Indian wedding outfits are so ornate and use a lot of beautiful color, and they decide to go with Big Bird yellow?

I also loved Fade's dress. I really think he's one of the contestants that is underrated and I hope he gets to show us more.

I really thought the challenge was made for her. After all, everything she's made so far has shown off her background, this should have been hers and her colour choice blew it. As did all the other elements of her dress. And I know Kini has impressed with his speed, but I can't see that he has any imagination. Take a frilly shirt, throw on a top hat and his dress is 19th century riding gear. The cape shirt that he made looked well made, but ultimately the design was alternative office apparel. For a challenge that should have been about nothing but creativity and fun, there sure were some dreary clothes out there and the dreariest won. Not that any of the others deserved to win. Dumb time limits lead to poor work.

How the HELL did Amanda end up in the top with that ugly, flimsy thing? She really can do whatever she wants this season and the judges will eat it up. Combined with the screen time she's been getting since the first episode it almost seems dubious.

Really glad that Korinna got the win. There's something I didn't think I'd ever say after the last couple of weeks. But her coat looked really expensive and clearly stood out from all the designs.

Last night's episode was horse poo poo. I like Char as a person, but as a designer it was time for her to go. Amanda should have gone home for that hot mess. I don't like Korina winning either, but that's more because I'm so done with her that I don't like looking at her.

Did anyone catch that horrible smug look when Zac asked "Oh was there a jewel" during Alexander's critique. Oh man, I mean I 'm not a huge fan of Alexander but I just wanted to slap that look right off his face.


RE: Samantha being auf'd, I'm "meh." She's been such a nonentity in this competition. I'm fine with Korina with the win, too. I liked that the necklace was almost like a bolo tie and she played it up with that fabric. Also, good for her for figuring out how to do red carpet her way.

I'm not in love with the coat pattern, but it's pretty fabulous. I can see Iman to Helen Mirren wearing this

Sean

well done. There was a lot of jewels there, he had to go simple and classic to not fight with it all. It kinda does look like a jewelry box liner

Amanda

SWEET BABY JESUS! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU JUDGES?!?!
How is Zach Posen the voice of reason?


The Middle
Fade

Simple and fun.
The back is weird


Sandhya

It'a a cocktail dress with a killer cocktail ring

Char

Bridal.

Emily

I don't like 2 tiered skirts, but it's well made

Bottom
Kini

Hate the sheer skirt over the poorly made hoochy dress.

Alexander

It looks good from afar. The complaint that they couldn't quite see the jewel is moot since they couldn't touch the necklace to test out the neckline. It was unfinished and a bit messy.

Out
Samantha

This is a first attempt at an evening gown.

In Spoiler News: the 9 remaining contestants showed at fashion week today and Tom & Lorenzo have the collections. They do not say who the finalists are. They are simply in alphabetical order, no commentary.
Lets use spoiler tags to discuss anything specific about the collections.
For example: I hate Emily's makeup choice because their faces are sunburned on two sides and blue eyeshadow belongs in 1989

Our pet theory is that it'd make the producers look foolish if the great designer they brought back went out early. I think she'll be on the chopping block soon now.

I didn't love Korina's dress; I felt like she was wearing a smoking jacket. That didn't feel very gala to me, he says, pretending themes matter. (Were there enough inspirations for this one, btw?)

Are giant words on dresses a thing now? Seems like half the designers used them. Plus, these are some of the oddest looking models I've ever seen, especially Alexander's.

That was hilarious. I'm glad Sean didn't win a third time in a row.

Edit: Finale runway reactions:

Sandhya I really like the Bomb Explosion piece, some of the other ones are pretty strange though. Like, they look incomplete. But especially the bomb top, that's fun.


Overall, I like Char's collection the best.

I actually think these collections are a step up from what we got the last couple of seasons. Whether they simply had more time or there is more talent there I don't know, but a couple of them are really distinctive. Nearly all of them have pieces that I like.
I'm obviously rooting for my German homeboy Fäde to win, but even a Sandhya win would be okay given those final collections.

Kini, what the hell is this?! Your model is wearing a giant cape and underwear, like a superhero going to the opera.



I did, however, LOVE Fade's collection and would personally wear every piece.

This was quite possibly my favorite part of the whole episode. That and when Tim Gunn got emotional. I can't help but follow suit when he does, even if I didn't really care much for Char. Just seeing him get watery-eyed was super contagious.
