PR: Heidi's hat makes her look like a Dr. Suess character!

Ha! Yes.

I was annoyed by the amount of time we were getting the contestants talking about each other's looks, but once the judges started saying just the opposite it was pretty amusing.

I'm not loving any of these looks. The cardboard-y one is nifty, the other's in the top 3 are just okay, for me. The "resort wear" is icky and the satin leggings ruin that whole look.

Exactly. And seeing Gretchen being WRONG was excellent.

I liked Valerie's dress very much. And I did like Michael C.'s -- I'm not sure where all the criticism from the others came from. He doesn't come across as unlikeable.

Peach needs to stop making little tailored dresses and break out a bit, too.

I did actually like Gretchen's look this week. Don't want to hear her opinions any more, though.

Yeah, that was weird how down everyone was on his dress. The first one he made was bad, but the one on the runway was fine. Valerie's was also fine, I just would have liked more drama. And the little zipper in the middle of her back, I didn't get that.

I'm still hoping that someone with immunity will design something really outlandish because they know they can't go home. Andy let me down.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

You know, what got up the hat designer's nose regarding Valerie's dress? I was wondering why he hated it so much.

Because books.

I thought he liked it but didn't love it, but didn't get how it related to the mask. It sort of didn't, but the flirtiness of the dress and the little bolero really played off the mischief of a mask like that, I thought.

I think the wrong person went home for the second week in a row!

I thought it was interesting that the hat designer put the hats on the models and thus got a close up look at the dresses before they went down the runway. I wonder if that's when he formed his opinion of Valerie's dress. I have to admit, it seemed more like a cute little outfit with a mask added to it than a look inspired by the mask to me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

t, that's a good point. He had a hate on for that dress that he couldn't be talked out of.
