Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

I wasn't crazy about Korto's leather vest but I'm okay with her win. I LOVED Terri's blazer. And, even though it didn't fit the challenge at all, Jerrell's hat.

And I really didn't appreciate his "there's too many queens" comment.

uh no. Way to be an ass.

I think I'm giving Kenley more breaks than she deserves because of her personal style. I really adored the little green sweater she was wearing at judging last week. ridic, I know.

I thought I saw the torso version of muffin top, and thought, "Well, if a model can get that effect from that tube top, it's waaaay too tight."

Stella's too - if you can make one of those girls look lumpy, no real women are ever going to go there.

They didn't ding her on it in the broadcast, but I wouldn't be surprised if the fit on that top was what made the difference between Terri and Korto.

That skort was so misproportioned it looked like she was wearing an apron. A vinyl apron.

Her personality is starting to overcome that, however.

Oh, yeah, I also empathize with her being a loud laugher. I've been teased about that before in my life too.

I think if they're going to boot Jennifer because she couldn't separate her personal taste from what the challenge requires, they're going to have to do that for Stella sooner rather than later. She's going to have to expand her look eventually, otherwise she's outta there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

She's going to have to expand her look eventually, otherwise she's outta there.

Not necessarily - I mean, Uli and Ravi never did.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I thought that either Korto or Terri could have won and I'd be happy.

I leaned toward Terri, but I liked both her and Korto a lot. I really want Terri to start getting some props, because she's been good every time out of the gate. She may be my current choice to win, with Korto second.

Not the same thing though - Stella's still been trying to fit her aesthetic into the challenge, rather than simply doing whatthehellever and calling it an interpretation.

Also what Victor said re Terri.

She just exudes confidence without seeming too cocky.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I would've chosen Terri, too, for the blazer alone. That piece was amazing, looked great, and required more technical skill than making yet another sleeveless shirt/dress/vest/etc. And on top of the blazer she made three other pieces: the pants, which were very cute, the tube top, which was atrociously fitted, and whatever the ruffly neck piece was.

I liked Korto's piece, especially her choice of linen, but I feel like I've seen that silohuette from her before. The bottom half of the outfit looked exactly like her jumpsuit from last week. I really disliked Joe's look. Aside from the skort issue (of the devil), I just thought it was so expected. I didn't see any creative vision in it. He made a track suit with red, white and blue stripes that said USA on it. There was nothing original about it. It looked like I could've bought it from a Niketown. I mean, I guess that was the challenge, but give me someone like Jerrel who went way, way over the top but at least delivered something with a fresh perspective.

I may be going crazy, but I kind of liked Blayne's look this week. I don't know, the one shoulder, the way the stripes were positioned . . . I thought it was fun. It looked like something Charlie's Angels would wear to kick major amounts of Olympic ass.
