I liked the red dress AND the cute b/w outfit much better than the jumpsuit that gave the model saddlebags.

Hated that jumpsuit, and totally thought the little red dress would win. But absolutely agreed with the bottom 2 and glad those two went home. Now if Casanova goes next, I'll be happy.

I think the photograph session also factored into who won.

Didn't Jaclyn Smith wear that black jumpsuit on Charlie's Angels? Isn't that fashion backwards? I thought the skirt outfit should have won. I hated the red dress.

There's a reason why jumpsuits went out of fashion, and they should have STAYED out of fashion. Even me, the one who could wear a burlap sack and make it look good, hates wearing jumpsuits!!

I miss this show. I can't get it here in San Antonio since it left Bravo.

I confess....I love jumpsuits and wish they would come back in style. But I didn't like that jumpsuit! Hated the short pants. Perplexed me that was their choice. I liked both of the other outfits more. The red dress didn't look like it was made real well, but I liked the design. It is the type of thing that would be a great "go to" dress when you wanted a little style with no fuss. Loved the look of the Mondo's outfit. It was different, professional, stylish and fun. Oh... and I thought those little pull-out sleeves were clever, too. I would love something like that! And I also agreed with those who went home. But I didn't hate Peach's dress. So far she is probably the one I would like to make clothes for me the most. She may not be the most innovative or interesting designers, but I think her clothes are wearable by "real" women. I am not a big polka dot fan, however. And the brown collar thing...I didn't think she had it done well on that dress (when she said how well her stuff was tailored I went "Huh?"), but I found the concept interesting.

I just wish Valerie would shave that rodent that is on her arm.

Ok, just watched this week's episode and have to say I was more than a little surprised that Michael Costello's crimson evening gown was not included in the top 3. I didn't think much of it when he was working on it, but when it came down the runway it was stunning. I thought it was gorgeous and I thought it was far more dramatic than Gretchen's or Ivy's dresses. And despite the intriguing structure of Andy's dress, I still preferred Michael Costello's. Andy's winning dress
Michael Costello's crimson evening gown
On the flip side, while I agree Sarah's palm tree dress was "sad" and was arguably the most amateurish, I also thought Michael Drummond's "tin can" dress should have landed him in the bottom three. I was sorry to see Sarah go, but I don't necessarily disagree that her dress was the worst. Michael Drummond's dress
Sarah's losing palm tree dress
That said, I couldn't help wondering how much Sarah was affected by Gretchen chattering in her ear throughout this challenge. Gretchen seems to have appointed herself Queen of Project Runway for this season; she could benefit from a dose of humility. Sarah should have been confident enough in her own abilities to not be swayed by Gretchen, but I do think some of Gretchen's comments may have caused Sarah to second-guess herself, much to her detriment. Hope Ivy is okay and able to return to the challenge. I really liked her dress also, although I would have liked to see it more form fitting on the model. But it left me wanting to see more from Ivy so I do hope whatever happened to cause her to pass out wasn't so serious that she had to withdraw from the competition. Ivy's dress
Last -- Casanova... I think he just missed entirely the point of the challenge. I get the sense sometimes that he's never watched the show -- if he had, he'd know that there's always one challenge every season where they use unconventional materials. There were some elements of his dress that I did like -- the way it flowed, the back -- but there was just too much going on. The top and bottom didn't look like they belonged together. Somehow I don't think Cassanova will be in the competition much longer.
Curious to hear what everyone else thought of this episode.

This was the third time that Casonova was in the bottom three. I feel he should have got the axe last night. I don't believe the girl that did leave had been on the bottom yet. And I agree that Gretchen thinks she is the queen. Who did she think she was when she yelled that everybody had to clean up their work area. She's a piece of work.....

I won't be able to watch this till it reruns this weekend. Damn Lifetime for their 1.5 hour show. They are no longer airing the show the same night, and now are randomly airing it late night on Saturdays and Sundays (and not consistently either, so I can't auto record the thing).

JEZZE - THANK YOU!! I've always had a hard time remembering the designers and their dresses when I come to discuss my thoughts!! Thank you for your recap and your opinions!! I appreciate it! I thought from the pre season interviews they were going to keep Casanova from a production stand point - he is entertaining, and the other designers talk about him - so keeping him is good for a boring season - and when you put the bottom 3 any one of them could go, so keep the entertaining one, get rid of a boring one...

I like Gretchen's designs, but am already hating her attitude of superiority. Which they probably want, since they are highlighting it!!! I was going to be mad if Mondo didn't win last night. I think his designs are interesting. Loved the dress. I also like Ivy and Michael Costello's designs. Casanova....yep, he does play up the "not a clue" thing and I agree they like that. And he annoys he other contestants, which makes me laugh. Thought it was nice of the other contestants to pitch in and help Mondo last night when they were finished with their own projects. Liked that they were excited by his design and wanted to see it completed....even if it was to their detriment.

I thought they helped Andy (the designer who won) and not Mondo. I'm liking Christopher and Mondo. Michael C make me laugh. I'm over Casanova. He needs to go.

Gretchen has become a monster. Two weeks ago she looked a bit disheveled to me; last night her appearance was better;but along with that came a bossy attitude and a definite know it attitude. Poor little Mondo is weird but kind. Loved the dress of napkins as well as the winning dress. Casanova is annoying, so very annoying.

Gretchen needs to shut the heck up, pronto. I hope she lands in the bottom 3 soon so she can maybe eat some humble pie. I thought Valerie's dress was really, really cute. I wish they would just get rid of Casanova, there are enough other personalities to carry the show without him.

I agree with Weinermr and Jexzzed. Gretchen must have an IN with the judges cuz Michael deserved to be in top 3 more than her. That glittery mini skirt? really? if one of the others had of done it they would have negatively critiqued it. The only plus is they are editing Gretchen badly so she is sure to fall from grace!

I really liked Ivy's dress but thought it was a bit heavy on her model. I wanted Valarie's black & white napkin dress to win but am okay with Andy's winning considering it was all woven ribbon. Can't wait to see what he does with real fabric. I didn't see Peach's dress as she worked on it but thought it must be horrid for Tim to tell her to get the 'coal out of her rear' - did I hear him correctly? In the end, I loved what she did. I'm over AJ's style after that pink party mess last night. Any kid in high school could come up with something as good or better. I liked Gretchen's outfit with the top and jacket but thought the boots took over and killed it. Glad someone called her out in the green room on "you're always talking". I like Michael C's style but hope he tones it down a touch. The rest haven't impressed me too much yet but I do like this season so far!!

Best part of the show, hands down, was Tim giggling over woolly balls. Had to re-watch that a couple times just to see him laughing!

And then poor Kristin had to try to say with a straight face, "I also have regular balls" (showing him what looked like small plastic bouncing balls -- the kind you put in a kiddie birthday treat bag.)

I was rooting against Gretchen last night. LOL! She has appointed herself Queen of Project Runway, and the "rabble" is resenting her. I find myself looking forward to her crash and burn day. I liked Irina Shabayeva from season 6 more than I like Gretchen, and I wanted to smack her! LOL!
