Michael Kors has been more entertaining to me this season than any of the designers. That's kinda sad.

I liked Joe's outfit the best - not including the shoes - and Korto's was a close second (hers would be probably be the most flattering for a wide range of body types and ages - not every Olympian is a tiny teenager, after all). Wasn't too crazy about any of the others. Some were decent designs but simply weren't appropriate for this challenge. And then there some that...jeez louise.

I haven't seen Apolo Ohno that much these past few years. He's so *sigh* handsome.

ETA: Terry's design was okay too but something about it didn't quite click with me.

I think Kellie's outfit looks like a good barbeque outfit, not Olympic quality. I think they could have gotten rid of at least 6 people with this challenge. I could not believe there was so much mistaken ideas. Some one on the PR boards remembered what Jerrel's outfit remindedthem of, it was Mammy Yokum, just needed Gerry's boots to complete the whole look. Especially the big hat and the puffy sleeves and highwaisted skirt.

The actual uniforms: ETA most if not all of these seem to be bogus.. thank heaven in several cases!!

usa

Apparently people aren't too enthused over the Canadian uniforms:

And the Chinese not pleased with "tomato and scrambled egg" uniforms:

Aussie uniforms look a bit like some of the Project runway ones..

I loved Korto's, Terri's and Leanne's outfits for the challenge and it was nice to see Joe in the top three. But it's getting harder each season to watch and listen to the judges rip some apart while letting others have a free pass. I may have to skip a few weeks of viewing and just go see the designs on the website.

Stella week one: Homeless Chic
Stella week two: Linda Evans does Dallas
Stella week three: Jetson's Rock Couture

I see another Wendy Pepper (getting to the finals) in the making.

Some of those uniforms make more of the Project Runway uniforms look better..

I really wondered if the Canadian ones were a joke or something.

I gather some are not any too pleased that the US and Canadian outfits are being made in China.

I think a lot of the Olympic outfits also look like stewardess outfits. It'll be interesting to watch tonight!

LOL VNick! I was just looking at Spain's outfit and thinking "Thank you for flying Air Spain."

Like the German ones.

PS...if you sneak up on a cow and whisper "Stella", it will faint.

LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've just looked at pics of the opening ceremonies, and the uniforms for several of the countries do not match the pics above.

I saw the US ones on the Today show this morning, and it was a white slacks, blue blazer combo (with a silly little driving cap) designed by Ralph Lauren.

Hmm well the ones pictured were designed by Ralph Lauren too, so possibly they have various pieces to choose from. Silly little hats, indeed.

And I certainly HOPE that the Canadian outfits are different in real life!

I watched a large section of the parade tonight, but missed Canada...so if anyone saw them live and can enlighten us, would be appreciated!

I liked the south sea island nations and African ones that had outfits influenced by native garb. Also, saw only one group (I think Venezeula) where the women actually wore what looked like evening/cocktail dresses (in red).

I think the driving caps are great! I would wear one and so would Renny!

I think I heard them say on the opening ceremony that the US team uniform has 8 pieces? I watched the ceremony and then missed the Aussie team .. they were 3rd last to come out.. I hated the fact of the order of teams this time..

Canada's outfits looked horrible.. sorry..

I agree that most of the designers would have been out with this challenge.. some really didn't get it at all..

Aussiedeb, yes I also heard them say that the US uniform has 8 pieces--and I started trying to count them! I wonder if it included footwear? Hats, definitely. Neckwear? What else?

I wonder how they ordered the teams for the march? At first I though alphabetical, but obviously not. I really wanted to see the actual Canadian ones!

The teams marched in according to how many brush strokes were in their chinese symbol for that country.

Canada's did look pretty bad but not quite as bad as those pictured.

The United State is represented by 2 symbols
