"We have trust issues." Mylar

Blayne's outfit was ridiculous. Well deserved auf'ing. I was shocked by the Teri boot. I didn't think her outfit was that bad. It certainly wasn't a winner, but . . . eh, I just don't know. However, homegirl did have her bitch flag flying this episode. Keith bugs, but she was way, way over the top with him. And once again, it drives home the truism, "Always listen to the Tim."

That said, I still think Suede or Kenley should've gone. I didn't find anything chic or fashion forward about Suede's tired jumpsuit. Jumpsuit? Really? With those sad light blue cones? Suede/Jerry was like the anti-dream team. And Kenley's outfit was a monstrosity. There are no words.

For the win, I loved, loved Joe's. Shocking. I thought it was divine. Like Tim, I did not respond positively to Jerrel's choice of fabric, so I was surprised that he got the win. And my girl Korto continues to rock it out.

ANTM: Another good boot from Ty-Ty, but it was an overall pretty boring episode. I did think Sheena at the flexibility pose-off was hilarious. She is my girl. Just ghetto hoochie and can't even help herself. I think Elina has to be my favorite right now. I think she is gorgeous and her photo was fierce. And for once, I agreed with the judges that she was totally rocking the Jolie vibe (which is funny, because I don't get the Angelina love at all). I think Lauren Brie is kinda tore up, but must also give it up to the judges that her picture was fierce. In fact, many of the girls rocked the photo (Joslyn, McKey)

I wasn't surprised about the second auf. They didn't dislike the outfit, it just wasn't avant garde enough. Of course I don't think I (or most of the designers) understood what avant garde was. I wish that we could have heard more of the judges' discussion of Jerrell's outfit. I'm not sure what made it avant garde and not a mess.

I'm sure that a lot of it was editing, but Terri really seemed like a stone cold bitch. Keith sleeping wasn't great (Tim had to wake him up!), but Terri refused to work with him. or anyone else, for that matter.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

For the win, I loved, loved Joe's. Shocking. I thought it was divine.

We had barely seen it, so when it came down the runway I was really surprised, but thought it was gorgeous.

Like Tim, I did not respond positively to Jerrel's choice of fabric, so I was surprised that he got the win.

It looked much better on the runway than earlier, that's for sure. I wish they told us how many votes each outfit got.

I thought Terri's (before removing the fur) was one of the few (with Korto's and Leanne) that you could get the sign by the outfit. Even though I never really liked her, I totally thought it was better than Suede and Kenley. I'm thinking the construction must have been worse than I saw.

I liked it, but it wasn't avant garde, I think. But what the hell do I know?

I'm thinking the construction must have been worse than I saw.

yeah, plus any time a designer uses gold lamè, they call it cheap looking, or "question the taste level"

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

the other thing I noticed is that Kenley's laugh is fake about half the time that she was shown laughing in last night's ep - perhaps more.

THAT shit would drive me crazy. I'm known as someone who laughs a lot and loudly, but damn if I cannot stand fake laughers. That would drove me up a fucking wall.

Yeah, by that point she had nothing to complain about.

Why did they skip through the judging so quickly? Did we even see any comments about the top four? And it would've been cool if they actually read out some of what the other designers had to say about their picks. If it was a time issue, they could have sacrificed some of the Keith and Terri show.

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

maybe they are slapping that up on that godforsaken website.

Punishingly Intricate

Yeah, they never really explained what was good about Jerrel's outfit. I kind of loved it, from what I saw, but I have no memory of what sign it was meant to represent.

God that was a stupid challenge.

I read tim's take, and even he didn't explain what was good about it, just a description --

Jerell WINS! He is teamed with Jennifer and what a dynamic duo they were with Sagittarius as their point of departure. I applaud risk-taking and this design was risky: an exaggerated brown houndstooth check high-waisted pencil skirt with a hip treatment that was like a deflated pannier, a gold chain-mail camisole, and a space-dyed shrunken jacket with a cacophony of trims. This look could have been a riotous disaster, and in less talented hands it would have been, but they made it work. Congratulations, Jerell!

I guess the former designers picked the winner, then the judges took the bottom 4 designs and picked the loser. Since the judges didn't discuss the winner, we didn't see it.

Art Crawl!!!

I need to see pictures again.

I was v. surprised at Jerrell's win - I thought that Leeanne or Kotto had don a better job of envisioning the sign.

I was surprised that Terri was gone so quickly. That must have been what Tim was talking about and she never did get a win - which is a shame. She really should have put Keith to use but I think she didn't have any idea what his strengths were and given that she had regularly been pulling off multi-piece outfits she probably thought she was okay.
