I am very very surprised that Logan stayed over Epperson. Epperson has been in the top a couple of times, but Logan has never done anything at all impressive. To me, it looked like Logan used a lot more of his purchased fabric than he did wedding dress fabric, and what he did was extremely poorly made. If I had to wear one of those outfits, I would pick Epperson's over Logan's in a hot minute. I just don't understand the logic on this particular elimination.

I think Epperson went because it looked like he just sewed blue strips on the same dress. There wasn't a significant change to the basic wedding dress, and it didn't portray "his aesthetic" (or style, or whatever you want to label it) enough. It still looked very wedding like to me. I do agree, though - the other two were also hideous, and I'd much rather be watching Epperson next week than either of them.

All three of the bottom three were atrocious! Totally unflattering to the women and totally ill-made. All three of the top three were really pretty. I didn't really like Irina's lace (for me) but it was a beautiful color and perfect for her model. Gordana's dress was beautiful, though, and she deserved the win. I did like Shirin's dress, even tho her model didn't really. She had the hardest job, really, since she had almost no material. Although she could've done what Irina did last week and cut it apart and resew it. Oh wait. That's what Gordana did!

Epperson got robbed. The pants the other guy did were reason alone to send him home. I didnt like anything but the winning dress this week. I did like Shirin's but hated her attitude, she was such a bratty cry baby about her client. I loved how the models all hated to see Ep go. He really is one of the models favs

I can't believe Christopher, the crier from the flyover, is still there after that mess. He has an absolute lack of taste that becomes more apparent each week I agree. His dress was horrid. I so wanted him to go home this week.

I think Epperson went because it looked like he just sewed blue strips on the same dress. Exactly. The other bottom three outfits were pretty bad BUT they at least did the challenge. Epperson just barely changed the dress. Not sure he was as "ready" to go as say Logan, but I don't think he was robbed.

I agree that Logan should have gone home before Epperson. Logan's was so badly made AND ugly.

I think when you have three BAD outfits to pick from, you should not zero in on the eye candy. So I was fine with Logan staying. I think the bottom line is, none of the bottom three have much of a chance of winning it, so it almost doesn't matter what order they leave in.

I think we saw the worst 3 outfits ever made in the history of the show. All three should have been axed.

Quite a selection of wedding dresses they had to choose from. From Woodstock to Tara. I wonder if Irina's dress looked better in person, because I thought it was horrible. The color was almost the exact color of her model's skin, and way too frilly (for me anyway). We said the same thing as Hermione - it looked more like a bad mother-of-the-bride's dress. Lilfair - I think you're right about those possibly being the three worst outfits ever made.

I could have made pants that looked better than Logan's...and I sure am no seamstress! I would like to see him go next...

I just re-watched the pregnancy episode; I really enjoyed that one. A lot of imagination used in the outfits, although not always good construction (case in point was Mitchell). And for once, the judging was solid, with Heidi, Nina, and 2 guest judges. The winner was a clear winner, and the losers deserved to be there.

I don't think "eye-candy" has or should have anything to do with it.. I'd rather "eye" Epperson anyway. I was shocked that the beigey mess was considered one of the top three outfits.. I mean it was better than the bottom three, but that it got so much praise.

I'm confused. People keep referring to Christopher as the crier from the flyover. What flyover? I missed something.

Well he cried big time last round. So maybe that's the crier part. The flyover, however, I have no idea about!

Some people refer to Middle America as the flyover zone. The part of America people fly over to get from coast to coast. It implies that not much is going on in Middle America worthy of stopping for so you fly over it. Christopher is from Shakopee, MN, a Twin City suburb. La'mon is from Minneapolis also, but I don't recall him getting the same criticism for living in a "flyover zone". Actually, the Twin Cities are a pretty happening place. I live there.

Well, Nina was back tonight as judge, but I'm still disappointed in the judging. Couldn't believe that Shirin was sent home over Christopher. Hers was at least an attempt at something different; his was both boring and repetitive. And Shirin was in top 3 last week; Christopher has been rather consistently dropping to the bottom.

I was sorry to see Shirin go home. Even though I didn't like her dress much. But Christopher's was the same as his ice queen dress. Ughhhhh!!

Hi Vacanick! You said, "Christopher's was the same as his ice queen dress." You mean Nicholas' dress, right? Tim Gunn called him on the similarity, but none of the judges did. Instead, he was in the top two. I think partly because Christina A. liked it, and the fact she would be able to really move in it. Nicholas does seem to have a preference for white and sparkly.

I am not a fan of Shirin but I was surprised that she was sent home. One judge even said the liked the top but it did not work with the bottom. Every judge just seemed to hate Christopher's outfit and they said it was a copy of a previous Christina outfit so again, I am just a bit confused. I think that Nicholas did not get called out as tonight's dress being similar as there have been so many different judges so maybe Heidi was the only judge to have actually seen both??

I am baffled by the judges' decisions this season. Once again, Logan and Christopher were in the bottom, and once again, somebody who had been doing good work up until now was sent home instead. I thought that Shirin's at least showed some imagination and work. Christopher's was just a very bad copy of something that had already been done. And Logan's did look like something Pebbles Flintstone would wear. Logan should be loooong gone by now, I will be so pissed if he skates into the finals. I don't really find him that attractive, I just don't get why he's still there.

So how many times has Christopher been in the bottom now? (Haven't seen the show yet but I'm not surprised to hear he was in it yet again.)

I agree with Nicholas's assessment of Irina. She's more than a little full of herself. I remember how Bob Mackie used to dress Carol Burnett. She always looked amazing. What I dislike about this show and so many other reality competitions is that it doesn't seem to matter what you do in previous comps. Each one is supposed to stand on it's own. Everyone is going to have a bad result once in awhile. It just seems like we're not always seeing the actual best designer, chef, or whatever.
