Yes, these designs weren't much. I was actually pretty surprised that Louise's designs were even chosen, since the judges were all convinced that ruffles were so horrible. The judge that chose them, sort of half-heartely chimed in that she "liked" ruffles, but didn't really have much input into why she chose the designs. Louise's finished dresses were pretty bad. The one especially looked like a cocktail dress with a boa thrown over it. As we were watching, I said that I thought Epperson's dress looked like something straight out of the 70's, which is what Michael said as well. I remember dresses exactly like that. Not one outfit tonight had anything that felt innovative.

Nicholas needs to get over himself (he ain't all that great) and Christopher needs to stop the waterworks (it's getting old watching a grown man whimper). I actually liked the winning dress by Irina (the striped one) and would wear it. I liked the movement. And I liked that she did think outside the box and created a pattern out of the fabric, rather than a solid piece (unlike all the others). Louise looked really confused when the judges dinged her on those ruffles but geez, Louise! When was the last time you saw ANYONE wear ruffles ANYWHERE? Unless you're a preteen and your first two piece bikini has ruffles on the top (geared to making you look like you have more bust than you do)? Um, I don't think I've EVER worn ruffles, and I can wear just 'bout anything. Eesh.

LOL. I haven't tried a burlap sack, though, so maybe I shouldn't say EVERYTHING!

I'm hobbit-like. It's challenging for me to find good clothes that fit! LOL!

My only challenge is to find jeans long enough. I think I'm the exact opposite of hobbit. Silly Putty stretched out hobbit, maybe!

I just love the banner, but it is time to grey out Louise.

I liked the shirt dress... oh, well. Glad Louise is gone. I'm sure glad we didn't have to listen to her animal noises all season!!!! Now its time for Nicholas, Christopher, Gordana and Eperson to go and I'll like whos left. But I wish Ra-mon was still there!!!

I am SO disappointed in the judging this year :-(((( When the outfits came down the runway this time, no question that Nicolas' was my least favorite--and I didn't even know that it was his at first. I am totally amazed that he escaped the bottom three. And of the bottom 2, I would have thought for sure it would be Logan, with the ill-fitting trousers. I am so sorry to see Eperson go, and I actually liked his design! On the other hand, they stopped putting Gordana in the bottom three, where I never thought she belonged. I have liked her work all along, so was relieved that she got immunity tonight, since they usually seem to be so harsh on her. However, I must admit that I thought Irina's was the best of their chosen top 3. PLEASE let them do something next year so that there is good-quality and consistent judging.

I really liked Carol Hannah's dress. I was glad Gordana won.

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. So sad to see Eperson go. Logan's costume was an abomination, but I guess they are keeping him because he's cute and puts Hermi to sleep. I thought either Giordana or Irina could have won, but I preferred Irina. I think she has a great fashion perspective.

I thought those in the bottoom three deserved to be there, but I thought Lo ... <drool> Whoops, sorry, did I fall asleep again? would go over Epperson once Christopher was saved. All 3 designs were so bad. I loved Gordana's dress. It's not often I see something that I actually would love to be able to wear myself, but that dress was it. Loved it. I did not like Irina's dress. The sleeves distracted me terribly. I wish she had done different sleeves. The whole dress looked fussy and mother-of-the-bridish to me. I was surprised at the gushing by the judges, but since people here seem to agree, maybe it just wasn't my thing. The judges were really mean last night!

I didn't think Epperson should have gone over Christopher (crier) or Logan (mimbo). Logan's outfit in particular wasn't even constructed well! WTH? I liked Giordana's dress much more than Irina's, but then I'm not a lacy fru fru type person. I also liked Shirin's dress very much. That machine work was a great idea and was beautiful.

Shirin's dress was gorgeous! I was amazed at what she accomplished just by using thread to add interest and detail. I'm sad it was Epperson, too. Of the bottom three, he is the one who I most looked forward to seeing what he would create from week to week.

I didn't understand what Epperson thought the instructions were for the competition. Can someone explain that?

I think he thought as long as he used just a small part of the dress it was okay, and didn't realize the base of the outfit itself had to be from the dress.

Oh okay. I liked Giodanna's & Shirin's dresses best. The men really didn't do well in this challenge at all.

Quotes from above: I didn't understand what Epperson thought the instructions were for the competition. Can someone explain that? I think he thought as long as he used just a small part of the dress it was okay, and didn't realize the base of the outfit itself had to be from the dress. I am still confused, because outside of Shirin's, Eperson's was the one that was the most white and you could easily see the base being wedding gown. Most of the others I couldn't see that. Do you mean that Eperson when he bought his extra fabric bought 2 yards of white and constructed the dress from that? I would find that most puzzling: why would you buy more white when you already had a lot?

I think what happened is first he changed it up too little (didn't use enough of the dress) and so had to start over. Then he didn't change it up enough (didn't put enough of himself as a designer in there).

I am glad Gordana won, he dress was hot! I liked how Shirin's turned out too! I didn't like Irina's as much as the judges but maybe it looked a lot better in person.

Is it me or is this group just not as talented as groups from the past?

I don't know if it's the "talent" of the groups, or the challenges that they've been given. The only challenge I've liked so far this season was the "genre" challenge...the rest seem to be very boring and uninspiring.
