I loved the American outfits. They were sharp, classy, and looked good on everyone. As someone else said earlier, everyone does not have the same body type, but these made everyone looked good. And I liked it than despite the heat, no one had taken off their jackets like some of the atheletes from other countries. It made them look very disciplined and serious.

I agree with the stewardess comment, when I first saw the US uniforms I thought "Fly the friendly skies of Olympus." Penguin, you could put up any symbol for the US you wanted and I doubt that any of us would know the difference! They both kind of look like China is giving us the finger!

I hated the stale Blue Blazer and white slacks especially for the females...not horribly bad for the guys. But compared to what most of the other countries showed up in I'd say the US.A. did ok. I wish Korto's design would have been what represented the U.S.A...I would have been proud. Although I got a good chuckle out of many of the silly clothes these people agreed to wear.

I think that perhaps we should acknowledge that these people don't give - in my southern vernacular - a hoot or holler what they are wearing! They have trained for YEARS to be where they are. I have the priviledge of knowing THREE Olympic contenders, and they woud have competed in bed sheets if necessary!

Yes, it's a shame Kelli was ousted--her work is much more interesting than Blayne's--and she even won a challenge! I think Stella is learning a lot. I was impressed at her teamwork on this challenge, and actually wish the two of them had won (Jerell and Stella).

damn I had Kelli pegged as the winner. same thing happened to me with my Mole picks. Pamy can't stand Suede. Pamy hates when Suede talks in the 3rd person.

Shocked is me!! Kelli's dress or skirt/blouse/jacket combo could be worn to both a meeting at work as well as out for the evening. Blayne's could only be worn to the beach. Dam you, Bravo! I was surprised to see how stressed Terri became. Kudos to Keith and Kenley for working together in the end. Loved Keith's dress! Jerrell did better then I was expecting but had to agree that the belt was too busy. I loved Terri's blouse and I actually think Suede was helping her even if she wasn't hearing what he had to say. Hard to see Daniel still there as well when he had so much trouble with a simple skirt. Dang, I really wanted to see what else Kelli had to offer.

I thought Kelli would win too. The people I pick ALWAYS get kicked off reality shows.

I liked the "second place" dress more than the first.. but Keith and Kenley were worthy too.. I wish I liked Kenley better.. that laughing is so rude and jarring and gloaty. Too bad Blayne didn't go tonight.. Terri could have broken loose with the drag queens next week

Lexie has loved every one of Terri's outfits this season. Lexie hopes Terri makes the Final Three.

Pamy is going to peg Suede as the winner. Pamy hopes Weinermr will also. Pamy then hopes that will seal Suede's fate

I thought Jerell should've won, and Blayne should've gone home. I actually hated those petal things that Keith did, too. There was no way any part of Blayne's design was even remotely appropriate for the board room. At least Kelli's pencil skirt was appropriate, and the jacket actually looked good (just not the bustier underneath). She had more parts that worked than didn't, while not a single one of Blayne's did. Costacat hopes Pamy is wrong about Suede. Costacat hates it when Suede talks in the third person. Costacat wants to reach thru the TV screen and smack Suede upside the head.

Smokey will hold Suede down so Costa can be sure and get a really good smack upside the head. Smokey would really enjoy that. I agree with what most of you guys have said. I liked Jerell's dress better, but liked both of the top two. I thought Blayne should have been booted. Oh, and I agree with you Sea, about Kenley. The laughing comes across as a high school mean girl. It was really inappropriate when she laughed at Daniel on the runway.

Holy smokes! Blyane stayed oy! Blyane- I'd wear that to costco when I'm stocking up and staples or taking my dog to the doggie playground. Daniel and Kelli- Lordy there was no reason that should have lost her the competition. It was very wearable and pretty and certainly fit the parameters of the challenge. I did not think it was trashy or whatever word they described it as slutty? I did think it looked like it would be affordable. Jarell and Stella- My favorite of the night. The night was full of surprises including this design not winning. Very well made (from what I saw on TV) and certainly unique and could wear the pieces seperately too. It had everything going for it. Jo and Korto- I thought the jacket had charming and playful although the dress didn't fit well and you can buy that dress off any rack. Kenley and Keith- Very nice and the top was clever but that skirt didn't do anything for me. Suede and Terri- Liked the look very much especially the top. I could see wearing that for everyday stuff but not for a night out.

I think Daniel is losing his confidence, which makes me sad. He was so terrific straight out of the gate with his "cup" dress--and then in a later challenge with a black baby doll dress that I thought should have been in the contention for the win. I didn't realize that Jerell/Stella's piece was separates? Although it was my absolute favorite of the night, even with the "busy belt".

Darrell thinks that TPTB are keeping Blayne on for controversy's sake. The pants/shorts might have worked if made in another fabric. It all looked a little too "Old Navy Cargo Shorts" to be able to work for evening. Darrell wonders if the winner was chosen by the guest judge. When Austin Scarlett was "aufed", it was partly because the winner was chosen by the guest judge. Since Wendy was chosen, the loser had to come from Jay, Austin, or Kara Saun. 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.

But what does TPTB stand for??? I'm thinking also that winner was chosen by guest judge; after all, Brooke was going to have to actually wear it on the show--and she was the one who made the comment about the "busy belt" on Jerell/Stella's piece.

I think Brooke must have had quite a lot of say in the winner; Tim mentions in his blog that she actually used the word "hate" in regards to Jerell's belt/leather middle piece. Since she has to wear the dress, I'm glad they allowed her opinion to matter. I like both top 2 dresses and really disliked Blayne's.

i'm thinking that kenley's laugh might be that nervous laugh that we sometimes get when something makes us uncomfortable. you know the one that we get at funerals...

I liked both of the top 2 and agree the belt was a bit busy. I was surprised that Jerrell and Stelleatha pulled it off. I agree with Michael Kors, Kelli's outfit was slutty, slutty, slutty. Although, I thought Kelli had a pretty good chance of making the final 4, she really missed the mark with this one. I also think that Blayne's design was pretty bad. Is it fair to work in teams when one person has immunity? Especially if that person is the designer and the other is more of a worker bee? I really disliked Korto's attitude and sweet 'tater jacket.
