i don’t like heidi’s hair this season; any comments?
I don’t either. Not flattering.
This episode was so irritating! If I had a nickel for every time I yelled “Shut up!” at the TV (especially Gretchen), I’d be a rich woman. Team Luxe has the biggest egos and the biggest mouths, but do not always show that they have the most talent. I’m really sick of Ivy (in addition to Gretchen): Her arrogance is infuriating and I’m not sure I’ve liked a single one of her outfits. She really needed to go home with this challenge (though I’m not heartbroken that AJ is gone). Poor Michael C, whose winning dress I absolutely loved, did not deserve all the abuse he was receiving, and I’m disappointed he didn’t stand up for himself more. While I liked Casanova’s outfit, especially the pants, I thought Peach deserved the win. Casanova also needs to develop a thicker skin; I’m surprised no one said that to him. I absolutely love Tim Gunn, and as usual, he was totally right!
I love Tim. His criticism is always honest but constructive. I think his comments were directed at the cowardice of Team as much at Team Luxe for their cowardice as they were at Gretchen.
PR had better not let Tim get away, he’s the best part of the show.
The thing about this episode was — For all of Gretchen’s front, she crumbled. The switch from ‘fantastic’ to ‘crappy’ cam so quickly it would have broken a less experienced judge’s neck — And 99.99% of the audience knew it was going to happen. The only thing that made it ‘unfair’ in any way was that her teammates definitely had ‘ride Gretchen’ to the next round on their mind.
if Gretchen is Hitler, then Ivy is Goering.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Casanova is very talented. Separate the drama from the designs and judge him on his skills not his shrills.
Oooooooo, Yes I agree Retchin and Ivy are both over-the-top egotists about their work etc. And truly both are just okay{although I did like one of Retchin’s outfits, If they{got the boot}left then the show would be Hooooo-Hummmmm, You know we have to have Our Drama, whether we are Queens or not….lol
I didn’t like the way everyone treated Michael C., but must admit that I’m not a fan of his work at all. This is all starting to feel very contrived to me.
There should be no sympathy given to Gretchen. The judges made the right decision in keeping her around because she is definitely more talented than the rest of her teammates. However, it is clear that this collection was entirely her fault. She tried to be “a friend” to her teammates and not appear so dictating, while she continued to make all the decisions and lead Team Luxe into “vanilla boring”. Because she has won so many challenges, and likes to take leadership, the teammates just allowed her to take the lead and followed her orders believing that she would lead them to victory. She’s so transparent! The only reason why she stuck with the team was because she didn’t want to get thrown under the bus herself! I hope she gets eliminated next episode. And Ivy is irrelevant. She is just a horrible designer and dumb person. I too hate her voice.
THIS IS FOR M. KORS AND NINA GRETCHEN’S WINNING OUTFIT POSTED ON BILLBOARD…I OWNED IT IN THE SEVENTIES… WORE WITH BOOTS INSTEAD OF BOOTIES.. SHE’S NOT TALENTED..JUST COPIES.. TIME TO OPEN YOUR EYES AND GET RID OF HE SHE DEVIL ANY OTHERS FEEL THAT HER BRIDES MAID MAKEOVER. WAS ANOTHER 70′S RIPEOFF…. MONDO SHOULD OF WON.. TO BADE HE DIDN’T GIVE HER A FRSH HAIRSYLE THE DRESS WAS PERFECT AND WEARABLE…..WAKE UP JUDGES….
Don’t do the Spanish thing anymore, it’s painful. Strap on some huevos? That means eggs and I fail to see what THAT’s got to do w/ Casanova needing to man up and end the pity party.
:sigh: huevos is also slang for balls- anyone who has seen Pablo Francisco’s stand up routine knows that. So Missy’s comment was perfectly in keeping with that meaning.
GRETCHEN IS A BITCH…
Gretchen sucks. She thinks that she’s perfect and the boss of them all. She gies around giving advice like she’s a top designer when she’s just a competitor. I hope Michael C or Mondo wins.
I have NO clue why gretchen went through to the final. Her clothes are hideous!! she has no talent what so ever in fashion, her taste is horrible. she is also a mean person at heart, and I do not think it is edited, she is really like that. might be the last time I will be watching this show.. how on earth can a talentless person as gretchen go through the final.
I’m so disappointed that michael c is out! They should have kicked out Gretchen! Micheal has better talent.
