The person behind the design has so much influence on me, you have no idea! I made myself a promise..if I will ever have money I will have something done by Sweet P! She is such a darling!!
And I’m glad Christian is not the b…he used to be anymore.I hate drama queens .
For me Victorya’s design was the winner..cause it was modern and had a certain degree of wearability to it. The girl has it!!

The Chris Duo was a fantastic collaborative effort. I wasn’t as fond of the RTW but that AG dress was spectacular. See, kiddies, THIS is why you want to work with costume designers–we know how to make those kinds of thing work!

Too bad they aren’t both immune for the next challenge.

Sweet P has really grown on me. Her prom dress was gorgeous & her RTW was lucious.

Rami is on a downhill trajectory. He has none of the creativity of a Santino or the class of a Laura. I don’t recall Laura abusing her teammates in the manner which Rami humiliated & attacked Sweet P.

VictorYa & Ricky must both have photos of Kors doing something inappropriate to a tanning bed.

Jillian is OK, but Kit’s dress…that would earn a nice fat F in a 7th grade Home Ec class.

Ah Manolo, I see that others have already corrected your misperception of the Jillian/Victorya coin toss. They both wanted to be team leader - neither wanted to relinquish control -and they flipped a coin to decide who got the nod. As well, Victorya had immunity so she was in no danger of going home. I thought their work was amazing. I would have been happy to have it win especially since I think their RTW look was much better than C & C’s but the Gallianoesque confection C & C produced was breathtaking so it probably deserved the win - but just by a bit.

Kit’s concept could have been really interesting and avant garde but she produced something that was downright embarrassing. She was the right choice to go. Her work never quite reflected her personal style and was always pretty middle-of-the-pack so I won’t miss her. Ricky and Sweet P should have already gone.

Another fantastic Chrissy-Chris moment was that, after Tim Gunn dissed their ready to wear piece, they agreed to ditch the puffy sleeves on the pleated blouse. A great example of “Make It Work”.

If Rami does one more drapey thing, I’d be happy if he went before Ricky. His “avant guarde” was not over the top. It was boring. And he was on Sweet P’s ass even as she was making that gorgeous ready to wear, the best ready to wear of the evening IMO. And he did not say one positive thing to her, as far as we can tell, even about her ready to wear. He also was very resistant to any of Sweet P’s input in regard to how to save that drapey thing from utter runway boredom.

I also have been pleasantly surprised by Sweet P on the past to weeks, and I agree with comments above that Rami’s behavior and lack of self-reflection last week was also utterly annoying.

I for one am giving Rami a break, I don’t think he’s difficult, I think he was truly frustrated over the way Sweet Pea was constructing those pants, he’s a very organized and time-oriented designer (also a perfectionist). I would be huffy too if Sweet Pea differed to me to be the team leader (meaning its my ass not hers if this bombs) and then proceeded to annoy me w/ a less than stellar job on part of the advant garde outfit. She can whip up a cute dress, but tailoring pants is not her thing. She’s a so-so talent who was paired w/ a designer who already has a thriving career, IMO it was a mismatch. In regards to Rami’s advant garde dress, I think he’s so used to editing and making clothes very wearable, that it threw him to create an over the top piece.

I can’t dismiss Kit so quickly. One not-great look and she’s banished while Ricky the Blubber Puss has given us nothing but le crap for weeks and is still standing? No. Something is very wrong. Or rather, Ricky has photos. Or something.

Love love loved Chris/Xtian’s work and for the first time all season did not have itching palms whenever Christian was on camera. He has the chops and as you say, with the proper mentors could be, in fact, as fierce as he keeps telling us he is.

What more is there to say? Loved the Chris Chris Show! Incredible dress! Kit & Ricky should both have been gone. Thumbs down for Rami. It’s OK to maintain your “personal vision” as long as it is one that doesn’t bore people to tears. I am wondering, however if all that pumped up drama was strictly manufactured & staged for the cameras. I am really surprised by Sweet P. Not only is she showing real talent, but she has toned down the wide eyed, innocent naivete routine and is becoming more likeable with every episode.

I still cannot stand Victorya.

That said, did no one notice Rami’s response to the prom dress judging? I also thought he was talented and as the Manolo so perfectly stated, “the fully-formed adult” until last week. When the judges said that the student looked like a 35 year old going to dinner, not a student going to the prom, he stated, “Well, that IS my clientele.” Unfortunately, no matter whom his clientele actually happens to be, he’s going to design for the 35 year old woman going out to dinner. This proved that he’s going to keep draping and pleating until he gets auf’ed for pleating and draping. Heidi said it herself, “It’s so boooring.” Rami now bores me; he needs to go. Is it me, or do his dress designs now remind anyone of what you’d see on a cruise ship at dinner?

I love, love LOVE Christian’s RTW version of the avant garde dress. Actually, I love the avant garde dress as well. I also loved Sweet P’s frock. I did like the top half of Kit’s Little House on the Prairie-Dog dress, the skirt was a travesty. I do like the trenchcoat that was sent down the runway, but the jodphurs were predictable, and a mess to boot.
