I thought I was the only one that notice Blayne's outfit?

They should have called him on that. That thing look like it was about to fall apart any minute.

modern_audrey · 08-23-2008, 10:40 AM

I know! Others in the past have gotten called for so much less. How could they not have even commented on it?

Ruby_Slippers · 08-25-2008, 07:46 AM

I thought this challenge was difficult but I really liked Korto's and the guy who won best.

Maddisonluver · 08-25-2008, 10:29 PM

I'm not keeping up with this as much as I usually do. I really don't have any favorites.

**blue sky blues** · 08-26-2008, 09:34 PM

I haven't watched the episdoes in a while. I think the last one I saw was the Drag Queen challenge.

Ruby_Slippers · 08-26-2008, 09:36 PM

That last one was the drag queen challenge, so you haven't missed anything.

My faves are Korto, Kenley, and Kerri.

modern_audrey · 08-27-2008, 02:51 PM

So far, I'm kind of favoring Suede and Kenley. Usually I have a favorite by now, but I'm still pretty undecided. Maybe it's just that I haven't gone for the challenges so far...but I'm really not too crazy about the contestants this season. High hopes for tonight, though!

By the way, anyone else think that that one girl who was booted a few weeks ago for the dowdy design was a dead ringer for Jenna Fischer on The Office?

Rona Jo · 08-28-2008, 02:25 PM

Last night I'm glad they got rid of Keith. The whole episode he was all "I deserve to win more than the others" and "I'm very talented" and I'm like who the hell do you think you are?!

Last week you made this ugly ratty ass outfit for a drag queen and this week you designed this beyond boring outfit out of car parts, then you have the nerve to blame the whole thing on your model!! Stella was in the bottom two as well, but between her and Keith I liked Stella's outfit better. At least you can tell she used car parts and it was more interesting.

I was really hoping Jerell won, he's outfit was just amazing but Leanne did a good too, so congrats to her.

I don't know how anyone can go for Suede. He talks in the third person, says "whackadoodle" and all his designs are the same: fitted top, flouncy skirt. I don't know why he hasn't been called on it.

Kenley is kind of a backstabber/underminder.

Blayne won't stop with the "licious" thing so he's on my list too.

Although I'll never give up on PR, this season seems to be mostly "characters" with very few designers while past seasons have had designers who also happened to be great reality tv characters. I feel like so many of them are trying too hard.

Rona Jo · 08-29-2008, 03:09 PM

Blayne thinks everything is "licious" I just want him to shup up already. And I agree about Kenley she is a little backstabber.

Because I care less about personality than talent.

So far, Suede and Kenley have, in my opinion, displayed far more creativity in design than the majority of the other contestants. I also like Jerrell. And I wouldn't say that Joe is one of my favorites, but he does seem fairly versatile.

Stella actually usually has a nice end result, but it's always the same old thing. I'm afraid that her setback last night will keep her from trying anything different again. If so, I can't see her getting much farther in the competition. And Blayne has good ideas (when he's able to reign them in), but falls short in the execution.

Actually, they haven't been creative at all. Go back and look at Suede's outfit's side by side.

Same exact silhouette. And on the drag queen challenge compare Hedda's outfit when she came in and what Suede gave her:

Nothing innovative there.

And Kenley. I'll admit that the outfit where she won the challenge was good but there's a reason she's been hovering near the middle of the pack since. This is not exciting:

And her drag queen outfit was an easy, cliched version of what a drag queen is supposed to look like:

Very few of the designers are taking risks. I agree about Jerell. He's very creative which is why he's always in the top or the bottom. Rarely in the middle. I think he has a good shot.

modern_audrey · 09-01-2008, 09:40 AM

I suppose that would be my opinion to draw for myself, wouldn't it?

As I said before, I'm currently pulling for Suede and Kenley. Not so much crazy about Blayne or Stella. Sort of in the middle with Joe and Corto.

MethodicWays · 09-01-2008, 10:15 AM

I'm not saying you're not entitled to your opinion but in terms of Suede it's obvious that the silhouette is the same. He's designing the same dress again and again. If you think that's it's creative that's your opinion.

modern_audrey · 09-01-2008, 10:30 AM

...Thanks?

Anyway, like I was saying, I'm honestly not that crazy about anyone right now. It's not just about the contestants--I've not really been wild about the challenges so far. The green fabrics challenge has been my favorite so far, and the business woman challenge wasn't bad...I don't know. It just doesn't seem the same as it has in the past. I'm just kind of hoping for things to improve later on in the season right now.
