I agree.. I've liked Korto from the beginning and Leanne came into my sights very soon after that.

Yeah, regardless of the challenge/topic, they've both had wearable clothes.

Definitely agree with Korto and Leanne in final 3 and most likely are the final 2. Bravo had all six designers show at Fashion Week so you can get a sneak peek of their final designs on their website. It never ruins it for me to a sneak peek as the pics online are so small and the clothes look so different with a moving model on the actual finale. Lord knows I end up watching the finale at least 3 times any way!

Kenley's voice and her atitude are both getting on my last nerve. From the previews of next week, it doesn't look like she gets any better. She doesn't seem to be endearing herself to the judges or to Tim Gunn.

I have not seen the whole show yet and have not read any of tonight's comments. So forgive me if I am repeating anything. But boy oh boy is Kenley not looking so nice tonight. Very cocky. Her design does not look bad enough for the boot tonight. Curious to why they keep showing her look so cocky. Guess it is cuz that's how she is...

Kenley really lucked out tonight in terms of her client, who so much thought the way that she did. I watched the "marathon" of this season which was on bravo earlier today. Two things interested me: 1.) How both Korto and Leanne really did badly in the "green fabric" challenge, but turned it around thereafter and have been the most consistent. 2.) How Jerell actually did much better than I had remembered throughout the competition (the auto challenge, for example--and the Brooke Shields challenge that I thought he should have won). If things were just "fair" (and of course they aren't always), I would like to see Leanne/Korto/Jerell as final three.

I think Kenley/Henley/Hedley is either going to win it all or else go out with a loud thud. Her ego is much bigger than Christian's or Jeffery's.

I hope it's a loud thud because I'm tired of her attitude. I about fell out of my chair when they showed the previews. Tim was giving her some advice and she said something like "I'm not changing anything. What does Tim Gunn know anyway?" Hello, Miss Thing. He knows more about PR and fashion than anyone. Get over yourself! (Okay, I'm done. Bombaycat heads back to her scratching post.)

I actually didn't care for Kenley's outfit. I loved Jerrell's though and Leanne's.

The thing that gets me about some of them is that they do not seem to realize they are in a competition. They trot out the same old tired cliche about staying true to themselves as a designer like this is some great fall line they are putting out. It is a contest in which they have to satisfy judges. The first thing they should do is try to please the judges. They should hold the arrogance until they are top designers and can afford to "be true to themselves." Until then, they should concentrate on winning, and Tim's advice is usually right on target. How many times have we seen him question something and the judges give the same critism. If there is one thing he does know it is what is going to play for the judges on the runway. I thought the judges were right on this week. I was not blown away by Korto's jacket like they were but it was better than the bottom three. Interesting though that even while Leanne was in the bottom three because of style, the construction of her garment was still great. I agreed about her jacket. And as a former elementary school teacher, I would not find it practical. I did not like it. But I loved the dress. I also agreed with the prevailing attitude among the judges that the "suit" for a professional womn is cliche. In many professions it is no longer a requirement.

I don't think this show is all about winning all the time. The exposure these designers get is pretty much priceless and if someone makes it to the top 10 (or 6 or 4), they've received some incredible exposure. Because of that, if a designer wants to stay true to his or her own aesthetic, I see nothing wrong with that. Where I do have problems is if the designer can't actually put together an outfit or sew an outfit professionally. WRT to Kenley's arrogance, I think she's done a phenomenal job, her outfits are very well crafted, and she's really young. And actually, her 'tude doesn't bother me as much as Christian's last season did. WRT to the top and bottom three this week, I totally agreed with the judges. I loved Jerell's dress/outfit and his model looked awesome. I liked Kenley's next, followed by Korto's (hated that jacket). Of the bottom three, Leanne's would've looked so much better without that jacket. Suede's dress was pretty but not very functional for a photog. But Joe just totally missed the mark on both design and implementation.

I did not like the green dress Koto made - I thought the colors looked terrible on the client - Her pasty white skin and hair color seemed to clash with it. Not good looking on her.

Kenley and her model both giggling at the judges comments made about Joe's outfit ... now that was something.

My favorite line of the night was by Jarrel. "We were wondering who was going to get the next Head a Lettuce". Classic! Second best line was by Heidi. "Kendall, I see you have a Mini-Me". So true! Esp. when her mini-me started laughing with her about the pocket squares. I can't wait for next week's show.

As much as I have liked Korto to date, I didn't like the eye roll thing she did when she found out who her client was. Geesh, the girl was 21 years old, don't be so insensitive! I'm thinking that Korto is getting a swollen head like Kenley, she just shows it differently. I say, Go Leanne!

I didn't really like Korto's stuff at all last night. Anyone else almost take Heidi's mini-me comments as a slight dig at Kenley? Almost like "I'm laughing at you and not with you," but in a very insidious way??

It was interesting that the clients were paired with the contestants by the show producers, not randomly. They did seem fairly well matched, especially for Jerrel and for Kenley.

Costa, as much as I love to agree with you about just about almost anything, what separates Kenley from Christian is that Christian is fierce and Kenley is not. Also, isn't she the one that had a previous laughing episode at the judging when someone else was getting critiqued? Even Christian, who is fierce, never laughed when someone was getting critiqued.

<costacat headbutts Lex> Lex, hon, I totally disagree. I didn't think Christian was all that at all, and often I wasn't super impressed with his designs. But... I will give you the giggling thing Kenley does (I kinda chalk it up to her youth). It does bother me that she does that, but then again, all the other designers make faces, they just don't vocalize things!

Lexie, yes. that is one of my problems with Kenley.. she's mean, not fierce. I don't like how much glee she shows when someone else is critiqued and how public she is about that.. and this isn't the first time she got the giggles (not in a nice way) when someone was singled out negatively on the red carpet. I also watched her face when she didn't win.. sort of that "I just gargled with vinegar" look. She clearly has talent and a "look" but wonder why she is so dead set against learning some new points of view? I do think the bottom two were the correct two and the top three worked for me as well.

As far as I can tell, Christian is younger than Kenley. (I read Kenley is 25 and Christian is 23. Not sure that is true, just what I could find. Also not that 2 years is all that much younger.) Kenley's giggling was so rude. Young or not it is still plain rude.
