Sorry. Michael Drumond was auf'd, Andy was safe.

I know I can't be the only one to find Michael C's martyr/snark act insufferable. Gah I want him gone so badly. I find his designs mediocre at best and his attitude toward everyone else absolutely vile. Rolling his eyes at this, complaining about that, all the while yammering about how oppressed he is by this one and that one...the mind boggles. I'm also tired of Grandpa Gunn. He actually encouraged Andy with that hideous look. But to make things worse, he put "Jackie Kennedy" and "camel toe" together in the same sentence. It's the most vile thing I have ever seen on TV in my life and, frankly, should have been edited out. I'd rather see Janet Jackson's partially obscured nipple 500 times than to hear Gunn, whose fondness for suburban aesthetics has made him the (appropriate) "chief creative officer" of Liz Claiborne, say anything about Jackie Kennedy and labia ever again. It revolted me. I adored Mondo's design. Good for him for the win. I also thought Ivy and that other guy had lovely designs, but none was near Mondo's. Gretchen was a close 4th IMO. And the judging this week had me cracking up, especially Mr Kors. MC Hammer meets the grandmother from the Beverly Hillbillies making soap? Hilarious.

Mondo totally captured the challenge. His design and execution were flawless. He totally ROCKED this challenge, and I was glad to see him win. I liked Ivy's top and pants, but hated that jacket. I have a bathrobe made out of the same material. I liked Christopher's dress, but also hated the shrug thing he made. It looked like roadkill on the model's shoulders. I hated Gretchen's outfit. It looked like old bag lady to me. I liked the IDEA of Andy's pants, but not for a Jackie O "classic American sportswear" challenge. Valerie and Michael D's outfits were also horrible... neither were "classic" and both had gawdawful silhouettes.

My favorite part of this show is when they first come down the runway and the designers do the voice over about how fantastic their design is. I'm usually thinking...and what planet are you from?

It's so funny that as "out there" as Mondo is in his designs, it seemed like he was the only one who really "got" the challenge. His outfit was just perfect for that challenge. As much as the others were all spouting about how Jackie is a fashion icon and legend, they just didn't seem to have any real idea about how to capture the spirit of this challenge. Ivy's pants and shirt were the only other items I thought came anywhere close. Christopher's dress, without the roadkill, was nice, but it didn't seem to fit the challenge all that well. I'm at the point with Gretchen that everything she says annoys me. Even her voice is annoying now. She really thought that her outfit should have been top 3 last night, and it was ugly. I really need for her to go home so I can enjoy the show without her constant critiques.

I get annoyed with how Gretchen is always giving advice, yet she's either always in the middle of the pack or bottom three.

Thrilled for Mondo - absolutely adored his outfit. In defense of Tim - he DID tell Michael D that the skirt was "Annie Oakley" and not good. He only said "defend" it when it became clear Michael had no intention of altering the basic design.

Nerovh and Lexie, I'm right there with you in regards to Gretchen. Every single thing she says annoys me. I SO hope she doesn't make the final 3.

I always enjoy Heidi, she seems to just enjoy herself so much. I cracked up when she told Mondo to describe the outfit and then said no, I meant yours! and then she giggles at herself for making a funny! LOL

I rather think Michael C. has a right to a little snarkiness after what he has put up with for weeks from Gretchen and Ivy. Their vile and mean remarks and their reactions to his wins were about the worst things I have ever seen on PR. I find it hard to even look at either one of them. And Michael was a lot nicer to Gretchen than she ever was to him, even if he didn't mean it. Being nice when you don't mean it is better than being cruel when you do.

Could someone please explain to me what the definition of "sportswear" is, because I evidently don't get it. Since when is going to a cocktail party considered a sport?

I think a lot of what goes down that runway look like crap or something you'd only wear to a costume party. I guess I'm just not meant to be in "fashion!" LOL

I just don't get why Gretchen thought Michael did not have a right to use whatever color he wanted. Did she think she had dibs on that material like she did last week, when he bent down to pick up a bolt of material and Gretchen grabbed it almost right out of his hand. And I am so glad Ivy went home. Now if the other sour puss would be sent packing the show would be more watchable.
