1/9 The Prom

[chooch850]

I CALL FOUL!!!! They kept the dramatic little weasel over the boring straight guy!!! Christen's dress was AWFUL! Kevin's was ugly but Christen's was a mess and they kept him because he's good TV.... end of story.

[roadtripper8]

I was really hoping that Ricky would get the boot. Every week, they complain about how boring he is and how poorly executed his designs are and yet he keeps sliding by.

Christian's was a mess but I can give him a by just based on how annoying his client was.

So long Straight Guy... my fascination with his oddly shaved facial hair has to end now. Guess he didn't know "Joisey" kids as well as he thought he did.

[RachWho?]

I totally agree, RT. Ricky should have gotten the boot. His clothes have consistently been boring as shit, and this week he made something that was ugly, boring, and looked like she took a dump in it.

Christian's client was such a bitch--I think she thought she was on an episode of "Sweet 16". And his dress was not great, but not as bad as Kevin's or Ricky's.

I thought Vic deserved the win--hers was the most original and I thought it was cute, but Sweet P's was a close second. I am sick of Rami making the same dress over and over.

I LOVED seeing pictures of them at their own proms. Kit was a standard issue hottie, Sweet P was a not-so-innocent Catholic schoolgirl, and Christian hasn't changed.

[Treadingonme]

I also thought Ricky should have gone home. That dress was bland and boring, like the color. It also looked like he was going to cry on the runway.

I thought Kevin's dress looked ok on the model when she tried it on, but on the runway I agree with the judges that it sucked and looked trashy. Maybe he does know Joisey kids well?

Remember that dude on Average Joe's or whatever the reality show where they had normal-ugly dudes compete for a hot chick's love who shaved his beard artistically (I think one side was half a star, the other side was something else)? Kevin had the most artistic facial hair in reality tv since that dude.

Rami said earlier that his model didn't like draping. But then, guess what, he's using draping. Time for this one trick pony to be put out to stud. Show us something different.

I disliked Christian's model immensely.

[tvkitty]

grrrrrrr last night's episode made me mad.

1. Ricky's dress was WAY worse then Kevins. Yeah Kevin's didn't look very appealing but Ricky's looked like it took 2 seconds and it was just blah - and poorly executed. How many times are they gonna let this guys crap fly? He should have been eliminated weeks ago.

2. Christians model was a little brat. And yeah his stuff didn't look great but he tried to do what she wanted and class it up a bit. He did the best he could with what he was giving. Nina was getting offended as if "Maddie" was her own child. Ugh

3. Victorya's dress as the winner? YUCK. I'm less than 10 years out of high school and I can't imagine any girl wanting to wear that wreck to prom. It looked like every other shirt dress that victorya designs but w/ some tacky bejewling on the front. GAG!

4. I thought Chris's dress was lovely and elegant and a very pretty color. I don't see why he wasn't at least in the top couple people.

[Treadingonme]

I was actually pretty underwhelmed with a lot of these dresses. After the people who went through to the next round left the runway, Sweet P's was the only dress I was pretty sure everyone liked. The rest, blah.

Also, didn't Kors say he liked Christian's dress at first? But then everyone teamed up on him once he said they didn't get along or whatever. At least it seemed like that to me.

On an unrelated note: do you think the models are pissed that this is, what, the third time they've been left out of a challenge already? I know that in large part their performance has no bearing on whether or not they win their prize or whatever. God, remember Grace? I hated her. Anyways, this is publicity and they're also "competing" so I wonder if it bothers them when their designer gets voted off because they couldn't make something for Tiki Barber or something.

[JulieM]

I figure anyway that Christian would have gone, he would have been screwed. If he did what the snippy brat wanted, he would have been crucified for doing what she wanted. While he listened to her and did most of what she wanted he still got screwed. Everybody knew she was a brat, but they went hard on him.

Kevin's dress did look hookerish, but nothing near as awful as Ricky's. That was just plain and boring and poorly made.

Victoria's dress was hideous and if that girl had worn that to a prom no matter where in the whole US of A, she would have been laughed at.

I don't even remember seeing Kit's dress on the runway.

[lestermaddox]

GOOD - I am not the only one that hated Victorya's dress and thought it looked like several other things she has sent down the runway. Blue bubble dress? Must be Victorya. Plus it made that girl look fat.

Sweet P's dress was very nice - Prommy and it fit well and the girl looked good.

Ricky should have gone home - I didn't like Keith's dress, but hooker? Not quite. The bodice and waist detailing were nice, if he had made it longer and hemmed it, it could have worked.

Rami was damn lucky he had immunity - cuz that fugly thing he made was awful.

[roadtripper8]

Speaking of Victorya... how funny was it when her client professed that she had only picked Victorya due to the fact that she had the last pick? BURN!!! Victorya looked like she had been punched.

[Treadingonme]

If you had to pick a top 3 right now, who would it be? I've been pretty underwhelmed by just about everybody at some point. I would say Jillian has been pretty consistent, but beyond that I can't say that I'm really sure who else would be in it. Rami maybe. Christian maybe. Chris has been solid since he's been back, but he has been kicked off once already.

[giffordsaz]

I think that fact alone Tread may make Chris a dark horse in the game. Chris would be in my top three, although I did see him designing something with HUGE boning coming off the shoulder for next week. ( I am very curious what they are designing next week , it sees like everone has enough fabric to make sails , and it looks like they are paired up again )

Jillian
Chris
Christian

my top three right now.

[lennonwhore]

ITA with you, Giff. If I had to pick a top three right now, those would be mine.

[RachWho?]

I really want Kit to step it up so I could make my top three Christian, Kit, and Jillian. I am SO proud of Chris and how he's improved, though. I've never seen someone take a second chance and make so much of it!

[tvkitty]

i too am liking Chris a lot. He really is putting out some classy looking designs. Hopefully he can stay on track b/c he is a lot of fun!

I still have my insane love for Christian. I also think they were going a lil overboard on the attacks against him this week. Damned if he did, damned if he didn't do what his model wanted. And I too though Kors liked it until the others were like ew.... then he jumped on the bandwagon

[giffordsaz]

Don't you just see mikie Kors as the kids on the playground who says.....
"OMG, look at Jennies Kolocks.... the plaids match up so great on her ass and her Keds are so clean."
and his peeps reply
"Stupid, kolocks are so last year"
and Mikie says
"OMG, Jennie looks like shit today"

[Treadingonme]

I just really thought it was weird that they've always done 3 good and 3 bad in the final 6. But then suddenly this week they do 2 good and 4 bad? I think they originally liked Christian's, but with his attitude about it and whatever, that's what made them choose to send him home? I definitely didn't think he was that close to going home, Ricky's dress sucked way worse.

[thatswhack]

Actually, Vicky's dress was pretty cute--very prom. I went to prom not so long ago, and hey, I would not mind at all wearing that "wreck" to the dance floor. ;)

I can't believe Ricky is still in this competition. And Kevin leaves? WTF? :glare:

I completely agree, TOM...Heidi and Kors both expressed that they sort of liked it, although I don't think it was the favorite of the top three for any of the judges, but since Christian dissed it immediately I think he assumed he was in the bottom and they just dropped him down there.

Rach discribed Rickys fugly dress on flipit's site as thus:::::

There is no better discription that this!

Aww, thanks, Giff.

I have no idea why her post was deleted, but this is what I said:

"unless I missed the part where the challenge was to make a sparkly full body Depends"

(it's weird to quote myself)

I remember that, now. It's funny and frighteningly accurate. Weird that it got deleted.

Where did my post go?.... I can't find the part that even quotes RACH without the quote.

wait I will go look for it.

[giffordsaz]

I can't find it anywhere.....

Where did I post that Rach,.,, in the recap comments??????

[RachWho?]

You posted it in this thread...I think it would have been post number 16 or 17, before it disappeared. Weird!

[giffordsaz]

I am getting rather paranoid now..........

[giffordsaz]

And given the fact you cannot delete anything after you have been quoted, even after anyone posts after you..... with out it leaving at least the post with the note it has been deleted............. something happened with out me.

It wasn't me, I'm too busy deleting disgusting porn threads to bother with giff's posts.

And we thank you for that, Angie! :) (and all the other mods!)
