At least Elisa explained about being hit by a Porsche in Paris, in a coma, big gash in her head... I loved the winning dress (Rami)and a couple of others too, Chris and others..

I have a crush on Rami! I know a lot of people don't like him, but I do think Christian is very talented. I loved his Reese's Cup wrappers dress and was surprised he was not in the top 3. I liked Chris's dress because it actually looked like something you could wear out. Loved Jillian's Twizzler outfit because it caught the spirit of the challenge best. Fun challenge! I was in that Hershey store 3 years ago. Or maybe 4. Very cool! I still have the t-shirt I bought there that has a picture of a Hershey Bar on it and says "Love At First Bite." Love Hershey chocolate!

I had high hopes for Elisa at the beginning, but week after week her outfits were, for the most part, unwearable. I dunno if the car accident affected her logical thinking, but I would've loved to have seen her "free spirit" actually produce some really free spirited clothing. I liked Chris' dress, and loved Jillian's. I loved that she was the only one who used edible product (although I'm not sure how long that dress would last after auctioning it off). Rami's dress, though, was really spectacular and showed his technical ability. The fit on his model was absolutely perfect. I am not a fan of Christian (massive egos just turn me off) and I wasn't really all that impressed with his dress. There also wasn't much sewing, since he glued on all the paper cups. (Plus, I really hate the fact that he tossed out all those delicious peanut butter cups... what a waste of yummy goodness!) I was torn between wanting a Jillian win or a Rami win. I still sorta think Jillian should've won as she did a really creative outfit. But Rami's dress really did work on his model, and it really would be more "wearable" than Twizzlers!

I usually like the massive egos in reality television for what they bring to the show, lol. Like Santino, Hung, Fairplay ... I like the drama they create. The only big ego in recent reality that I remember not being able to stand is Evel Dick of BB.

I actually liked Elisa, even if I didn't like her garments. She was cuckoo-crazy, yes, but didn't seem to have a truly mean-spirited bone in her body. Her dress was fugly, though. I have pegged Rami to win since first episode. Christian is SOOOO Chris Kattan on SNL.

You nailed it, Yankee, every time I see Christian, I think of Chris Kattan and, for some reason, Mango ... wasn't that the male exotic dancer sketch? So funny! I'm glad to see I'm not alone in noting the resemblance!

I think the only one I don't like is Victorya. I am not even sure why...

Victorya's dress looked really odd with those ruffles. And Sweet P's dress was just boring. Elisa's dress was boring as well and those poofy sleeves things were just horrible. I'm sure she's a nice person but I don't get her designs. Oh and I agree ... Rami is so hot!!!

I actually kind of thought Sweet Pea should go over Elisa.

I agree about Sweet P going over Elisa. But Elisa's designs have really gone downhill, IMO, from the first couple of weeks. Love Christian - hope he stays to the end. I was glad to see that Chris did well on this also! Victorya just seems very intense to me. I think I would like her better if she loosened up some.

I was a little afraid this would be a train wreck episode but there were quite a few really nice outfits created, given the materials & short time they had to work with. Congrats to the designers! Chris, Kevin (he had the brown skirt & jacket ensemble, right?), and Rami did terrific jobs. And Jillian did deserve extra credit for working with edible products (lucky her model was so helpful) but I thought Ricky's bubble skirt (hate them!) should have scored lower than Victorya's dress. Christian's candy cup dress did look pretty good but it reminded me of Michael's coffee filter dress (not the style, but the use of material) from last season plus the design & workmanship in no way matched Rami's or Chris's. I don't mind Christian's attitude though - 'course I also liked Jay, Santino, Laura, Jeffrey, and Keith during past seasons even though they alienated many viewers. Even Wendy from season one wasn't that bad, I thought. Sweet P's runway dress this episode was the most pathetic however Elisa has struggled a little more (if only she hadn't tacked on that weird train to that one gown!). I will miss Elisa's loopiness though, and was stunned when she told about her accident. This is the first week that at least a couple of the judges seemed awake during the show - they've appeared quite bored this season. Must admit it's the first episode I enjoyed too. Although I still can't believe there's an entire store of Hershey pillows in NYC.

Ah, Calamity, the coffee filter dress! You are right! Christian's ensemble did look like that!

Funny, Calamity, because I also never thought Wendy Pepper was THAT bad, either.

So, did anyone else have a flashback to Elisa and her "spit marking" the fabric, once we found out the material could come from edible objects?

I will never forgive Wendy Pepper for knocking Austin out of the finale! I would have loved to have seen what he would have made!

Austin's had the last laugh, though -- he's tremendously successful today!

I saw Austin's creations on the Kenneth Cole website. Austin is designing fabulous to-die-for wedding dresses. He's definitely having the last laugh.

Jillian, Kevin, Kit and Rami have really been standing out more and more to me. I still predict them as final four, especially after seeing what did with this challenge ~ which I loved! Chris is adorable but I just don't see him lasting to final four. Christian and Victorya both obviously have some talent but I don't think they can stand up to the other four. And I love both Sweet P and Ricky but am surprised each week that neither is eliminated so I really feel they'll be the next two to go. I was not that thrilled with this season but this challenge reminded me of why I love to watch this show ~ for talent and creativity!

I really loved Jillian's outfit. It must have been a terribly hard decision between Rami's beautifully made, perfectly fitted outfit and Jillian's ability to make something that somebody would really want to wear out of candy. I also liked Chris' outfit, it was very stylish. I don't really have a problem with Elisa going, I just sort of thought Sweet P deserved to go before her. Remember that screwed up shirt and tie she made? Man, that was some messed up outfit. Sweet P was just lucky that week that a couple of others screwed up even worse than she did.

Sweet P and Elisa have both been needing to go, for me...
