Casanova's outfit, while not "resort," was definitely better than Ivy's. I didn't really see grandma in his outfit, but I did see conservative. Ivy's? Was gawdawful boring. The skirt was pretty, but just plain pretty. Nothing special. And the top? Ugh!

Loved how Mondo retracted all his bad thoughts about Michael C.

I also loved Andy's outfit, and actually thought it should've won (just seemed more "resort" to me). I'd buy and wear that outfit in two seconds flat. April's was cute, but it just seemed too baby doll, jammies, to me. Maybe for a resort nightclub?

Costa I thought Casanova's top was not grandma, well definitely NOT my grandma!!

and Andy's purple/silver suit/coverup - should've won - as opposed to the "baby punk" lingerie thing that won! (ok that's just our opinion! Dh, dd and I anyway..)

and for the record, I thought Santino was mean spirited and funny in his season - I enjoy him much more in his own show - as bizarre as it is!!

Costacat, I definitely agree with you. Casanova's deal that he had going on looked much more acceptable than that fine looking potato sack the Poison Ivy made that poor model wear.

and though thought differently of Mondo for apologizing to MC for the crappy treatment and throwing of pins at him, I still think he should have gone home, because that thing really did belong on a bargain rack of forever 21.

I'm convinced that with the outfits done in all black that we don't see the detail the judges see. A few times such an outfit has won, when I see other outfits that impress me more. However, it's hard to see details in black like you do in more vibrant colors.

And I agree about Mondo. I was ready to smack him at the beginning, as he was throwing things down the table, but I was just as impressed that he came around when he realized Michael C. was capable of carrying out his design.

I guess I'm a "grandma" type b/c I liked Casanova's outfit. Much more than Ivy's. Older folks go to resorts also!
Yeah, that vibrant bathing suit w/ cover-up was gorgeous. But maybe the guest judge has more pull (and also Kors was gushing over that black outfit even before it was finished).

I just don't see how Casanova's outfir was worse than Ivy's. I could have zapped up something better than what Ivy did all by myself. Casanova's outfit might have been a bit conservative, but I just didn't see anything all that bad about it. At least the judge's warned Ivy that she better really "wow" them next time. I also thought Andy's outfit was much more beautiful than the little black thing, but oh, well.

I agree with Costacat and others who think Andy's outfit should have won and Ivy and her "crazy energy" should have been eliminated instead of Casanova.

I thought April's design was cool, but it looked more like lingerie to me than something one would wear at a seaside resort. To me, Andy really captured the challenge.

I have to also say that while I thought Michael D's design was good, I would have had him trade places with Michael Costello for the top 3. I really liked Michael C's design when it hit the runway. It was shimmery and chic, and Mondo did a beautiful job on the execution.

Speaking of Mondo... I was disappointed at first when I realized even Mondo didn't want to work with Michael C. To see that they ended up working so well together was great. I didn't think Mondo's design was that bad. I often question his color pairings and his resort wear design was no exception. I liked the green and white, and I liked the pink and blue. But not together. The problem I think is when the judges think of "young and hip" they are thinking 20-30, whereas Mondo's aesthetic seems to be geared more towards teens. Overall I do think Mondo was pretty lost this challenge.

Ivy, Ivy, Ivy... her design just sucked. It was simplistic and didn't flatter her model at all. That outfit was so amateur I could have made it. I really liked Ivy in the beginning but she's just mean spirited and not a great designer. I think she'll be out long before F4.

Glad this week wasn't all about Gretchen, but I wondered a little how much she might have influenced Casanova's design. And wasn't it funny when Michael Kors suggested that Gretchen's design might also be straying into grandma territory!

Thought it was interesting that they had Michael Kors do the critique this week. I found myself wondering how Tim's comments might have differed.

Overall a good episode. It was a rare occasion that I watched the episode not knowing who would leave so it was a little more suspenseful there at the end. I too will miss Casanova. He's a character and a class act.

Kellirippa, I dont know, I dont know if American viewers would ever know. Maybe a google search? sorry I couldnt be more helpful

I loved the Casonova montage

I figured they kept Ivy over him for tv drama but I think they should have kept him for his classic and funny diary rooms.

I love Mondo, LOL at him saying he was a d%$%. I smell an odd couple sitcome with him and Michael

I know a lot of people here didn't like Casanova when the series first started. I didn't mind him - I found him to be rather unique.

My favorite line from this season: "Jackie Kennedy would not have camel toe." OMG and that was from a preview of next week's episode!

LOL that was funny!

I liked Casanova, but not that outfit, but it had more detailing and I liked the neckline which was NOT grandma.. most 75 year olds do wear bras and usually not strapless ones... I was so hoping Ivy would leave (well I was hoping Gretchen would leave but she wasn't bottom three.)

I thought Mondo's outfit was great. I would not have paired the colors, but the design was very cute. And Michael C. executed it very well.

I hope Mondo's attitude toward Michael C. will changed some of the hostility the others have shown toward him. What I never got about that whole thing was the anger and almost hate directed toward him. Even if they disagreed with the judges, it was not Michael's fault.

I did not think April's design was better than Andy's. I agree with Jazze. To me it looked like baby doll pajamas. It was cute and I loved it, but I would never have worn that in public, not even in my youngest days.

I loved Andy's swimsuit with the versatile cover up.

And Casanova's outfit was certainly not grandma. They said it was like something for your 70 year old grandma. How many 70 year old grandmas are going to wear off the shoulder tops and tight pants? Any who do are youthful types not matronly. I will miss Casanova. I looked forward to him every week.

I agree that Ivy should have gone home. Maybe as someone said, it is easier to see the flaws in person.

I suspect that Ivy is in trouble however unless she really comes through next week or someone else just bombs. Her attitude, like Gretchen's last week was so ugly it was painful to watch.

I hope her close call will bring her down a notch or two and make her realize that she is not better than all the rest. Last week seems to have had some impact on Gretchen.

Oh, I totally would've worn April's outfit (and have worn something similar in the past). But for *resort wear* I think Andy's was spot on.

I think if either Ivy or Gretchen are in the bottom next week, and the other bottom 2 person didn't make a complete abomination, then one of those two will go home. I think the judges are a bit over the 'tude those two girls keep providing.

I wonder if they kept Ivy just to save face for Michael D. If she had gone, she would have totally blamed Michael D, and he unfortunately looks like he'd have blamed himself as well.

Ivy needs to go out on a week she sews whatever pathetic design she creates, so she has less chance of blaming someone else. Though I'm sure she'll figure out some way to blame someone. Maybe it will be the fault of the fabric manufacturer for weaving the threads of the fabric in the wrong direction or something.

How is she going to make it in the fashion world if nobody is capable of sewing her brilliant designs as well as her? Dumbing-down your design cause you don't trust your tailor is a stupid move. I guess on the upside of that is that nobody will be able to steal her designs, cause she's the only one skilled enough to sew them.

With the venom that woman spews, I can't think of any seamstress who would willingly go work for her. She's certainly not brilliant enough for someone to take her abuse just for the prestige of working for her.

A few weeks ago, Gretchen was the forerunner for the bad 'tude that needed to go. Now I'd pick Ivy over Gretchen to go first. Just get her out of there please!

Maybe next week they can pair up Ivy and Gretchen, with the idea of a double boot. That would be priceless!

Ya, Ivy needs to go -- and then I want to see Gretchen leave. I'm very tired of her attitude.

I kept thinking that April's outfit really must appear very different in person because it did not blow me away like it did the judges.

I really liked Andy's outfit and also thought he should have won. I also really liked Casanova's outfit. If that is grandmotherly than any grandmother who wears that outfit would look smashing to me. Again, maybe we would think differently about it if we had seen it in person.

I really liked Andy's outfit too and it really looked like resort wear. I'll be surprised if he's not in the top three. April's outfit reminded me of a negligee. I can see her designing for Frederick's of Hollywood.

A few weeks ago I so wanted Cassanova to leave but thought Ivy deserved to go. His outfit wasn't great, but the top was kind of cute. Ivy's was such a snooze. Mondo's might have looked good if he put prints together that didn't clash.

The best comment of the whole night, was when Michael Kors called Ivy (in a derogatory way) a "seamstress" To someone like her, that would be a terrible insult. She considers herself a "designer" I laughed when he said that.
I cannot stand Ivy, I also thought Andy should have won, his design was definitely more versatile, sellable and hit the mark (although I could have done without the color scheme). April's might have been nice, but it looked like lingerie.

Ginger, I was shocked at how much the judges liked April's outfit. There is NO WAY that I would wear that outfit unless it was in the bedroom at a resort.

I was looking at the project runway "shows" from New York and it seems like a lot of the ten designers who got to show did those "diaper pants" in their collections. When did those become popular and where in the world would anyone wear those? I understand short shorts, but these always look like granny panties to me, LOL.

"diaper pants"

I want to see Anna Wintour in diaper pants to prove they're acceptable.

Once again, Gretchen was playing judge before she even left the apartment!

It's kind of sad but I'm still not rooting for anyone at this point.
