I thought that Leeanne or Kotto had don a better job of envisioning the sign.

I think that Korto is going to go postal. She has been a runner up in most of the challenges, but has never won. I'm going to start calling her Susan Lucci.

I thought she did win - didn't she win the Olympics Challenge?

You know, looking at it again, it does seem very Diana the Huntress, which makes sense. However, it still doesn't seem particularly avant garde.

Also, I don't know what counts as Avant-Garde in fashion now.

Neither did most of the designers, I think.

I thought Korto did win one challenge, didn't she? I used to think she was going to combust with all the not winning, but I think she just kinda has stank face without actually being/feeling stanky.

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

Agreed that Joe's look wasn't really avant garde. However, it was a beautiful dress. Tim's take was interesting. Seems that Daniel was in the driver's seat, which makes more sense. Now I can go on disliking Joe.

Perhaps alot of this show will be featured in the reunion because this:

And I'll just add that this challenge could have been a two-hour show, because there was so much drama and intrigue demonstrated in the workroom, at the Rose Center, and on the runway. I never cease to stand in awe of the brilliance and deftness of the show's editors!

from Tim's blog - intrigues me.

Also from Tim's blog:

Suede is teamed with Jerry, and Jerry's arrogance and Suede's disdain for him were palpable throughout the challenge. Although you do not see this in the show, when I made one of my rounds, they had placed a yoke across the shoulders of their design and were going to hang fabric scales from it to represent Libra. Huh? I admit that I may have protested a bit too much (remember Carol Burnett's curtain-rod dress in the "Gone with the Wind" episode?), and then Jerry sold me out on the runway saying that he (not they) should never have listed to me. In any case, what was up with this navy palazzo pants suit? Huh? Isn't there a happy medium between a basic pajama pant and a Vegas float? Come on, guys, you couldn't figure this out?

Is it wrong that I wish that they'd kept the scale in - how amusing would THAT have been on the runway?

It struck me last night that there were very few signs represented among the designers. If I’m not mistaken, no Gemini (which could have been awesome), Virgo, Pisces, or (I think) Capricorn. Lots of Libras and Scorpios (which are such opposites in my mind).
