Can we get photos of top 2 dresses, please? And Dovez, I think you might be right about the laugh.

OK, here is what I hate about these "pick the designs you want and then execute them in teams": Blayne's shorts might have been totally odd, but she DID pick them (as opposed to Leeanne's rather innocuous look). So why all the fuss in the end that Blayne (gasp!) made shorts? Of COURSE he was making shorts, that is what he showed you! And Kelli's "slutty slutty slutty" outfit was actually MORE toned down than what Brooke picked! So how is it the designer's fault? Ridiculous, forget the teams, just have everyone make a damn outfit and have the responsibility rest with each of them.

Alisons, ITA. I'm starting to believe that this season is fixed or the judges have no business being in the business. I'm all about "interesting" clothes and fashion and I've been known to be out there so it's not like I'm coming from a very conservative bent. I love clothes, shoes the whole nine yards. The way the judging has been going this season I wouldn't be surprised to find out that one of the contestants (ahem Blayne) is either a relative or lover of one the judges or love child of....just saying that's what it looks like to me.

I think Brook picked Blayne's outfit because she was expecting more of a material or final look that would be appropriate to work. His top was no less "slutty" then Kelli's so I still don't understand why Blayne is there. I swear he is going to be another Wendy Pepper going to the end. Kappy loves Pamy's strategy of wanting Weinermr to root for who she wants gone. Kappy also loves Darrellh's idea of the perfect team of 3.

If I remember correctly, the picture Kelly showed Brooke was a one piece dress in a total leopard print...so from design to actual dress there were some changes. The material change was good, the design change, not so much. Here's the top winner:
Here's the #2 dress:
Here's Blake's Next to Loser Look:
And here's Kelli's Look w/Jacket:
And this is the only picture I've found so far of Kelli's look without the jacket:

When Brooke said she was picking Blaye, she also said she was "scared." That should've been an indication to him to amp it up some. You can do city shorts that are totally dressed up. He could've gone with a black sateen cotton instead of the khaki, for example. Although, honestly, now that I see the silouette, there is no way Brooke would wear that. She did say she wants to DE-emphasize her middle section. And I think the rise on Blayne's shorts were too low.

I think the producers "helped" Brooke pick the outfits - like Brooke picked two she liked, and then the producers picked two they knew would end up being horrendous. Yes, Kelli did make changes to her outfit, but she totally toned it down! Brooke said "Not so much leopard" and that is exactly what she did. So how is this a judgment on the designers' taste but NOT an indictment of Brooke's taste? Frankly, I could not believe the choices that "Brooke" made. I would have almost certainly picked the opposite four!

Sorry, meant to say opposite six! Also, Blayne's look was not helped by the styling. I would have had her hair up, would have used the belt as an overbelt and not had the shirt tucked in, would not have the sleeves rolled up, would have had the shirt mainly buttoned with just a hint of the under cami type thing. It could have worked, or at least worked better.

Darrell said "A good (funny) 3 person team would be Stella (who loves LEATH-A), Suede (a name for LEATH-A), and Blayne, who's skin sort of looks like LEATH-A from all the tanning." ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!! good one Darrell!

I didn't realize until last night that Stella is so short. With her big mouth and big attitude, she always seenmed at least a foot taller. lol! She is really growing on me. I hope she gets to stay longer. She entertains me and I am curious to see what she will make next. I also like Korta, Terri and Leanne. Joe and Jerrell and possibly Keith, I am on the fence with, and want to see them stay and see what they come out with. The rest, (Blayne, Daniel, Kenley, and Suede) they can all go next, before the others.

Pamy, thanks for the mad props! lol. I was reading about the old flour sacks that people used to use for fabric and thought that it would be a cool idea for a competition on this show. My mom wore flour sack dresses as a kid.

How cool! I think it would be a great challenge and at the same time, a tribute to that time in America

OT - but my aunt also designed dolls similar to Raggedy Ann and Andy and several stuffed animals to make kids' toys! Further OT - the old Werthan Bag Factory is now being transformed into ULTRA upscale lofts - and we are talking up to FOUR bedroom lofts!

Tnt, this area is old mill country. A lot of the old mills are being turned into lofts here. A buddy of mine just sold his loft in what was the old Lance Cracker factory. The building's lobby area has pics showing the history of the building.

In the fashion world where thin is the only way to be, I was so pleased that they could look past Sweetie's size in a short, RED, tight dress and see stylin'!
