I am really disappointed in the judging this season. Usually I pretty much agree with them, but not so far.
I can't believe that Sonjia (sorry, I can't remember how to spell her name) won the first night. That dress was not the best in the group. I did agree witht the loser, but there were several others that were waaay better than hers that should have won.
I can't believe that Amanda won the unconventional challenge. While I liked the other two in the team, I don't think they were the best team by any stretch of the imagination. I loved hte blue dresses - especially the one made of CD pieces that looked like a beaded dress. And the one made of tickets was awesome. I also like the ones made of CDs with the white top and black bottom. I thought Amanda's looked just messy - like she took a piece of muslin and just stapled strips of plastic to it - which she pretty much did.
I did think that Sonjia was lucky she had immunity - she definitely would have gone home if she didn't. She should have done what she started out to do - it would have been way better. She let the other two - especially the guy - dictate what she did and it sucked.
Tonight should be interesting. I hope the judging gets better!
Any opinions?

I totally agree about Sandja or however she spells it. She has not impressed me at.all! If she hadn't had immunity she would have gone home this last week, and the judges told her that. I didn't care for the whininess of her teammates either.
As for the best, I can't remember which one I thought was the best, but I didn't really disagree with the team that won, although I thought one of the others could just have easily won. I haven't gotten all the names straight yet.

I agree with everything you said. I can not for th elite of me figure out how they are picking the winners. Maybe they should bring Michael Kors back. Or maybe replace Nina? I don't know. The 2 winning dresses this season so far have been awful. Really horribly awful.

I completely agree!! I meant to start a thread during the show last week, but was too lazy to go over to my laptop and then I just forgot.
There are always times that I disagree w/the judges, but NEVER like this! I thought the team at the bottom did a fine job. And while Amanda's dress wasn't horrible, I definitely didn't think it was the best one there. They used duct tape, for crying out loud! Hardly unconventional and a little too much like fabric, imo. In previous seasons, they would've been called out for something like that.
And they hated Angela's paper dress and I thought it was lovely.
And the guy (whatever his name is) definitely should've gone home instead of Carrie. The idea was completely his.
And I also thought the CD dresses were really cool. I just don't get it.
There was a thread about the first episode and a lot of the peas didn't agree w/the winner then, either.
I realize I am a *mature* woman, but I am not seeing what these judges are seeing AT ALL.
Things better line up for me or I'm gonna be throwing things at my TV!
ETA: Yes! Bring Michael back! Zac is OK, but Michael is a better critic & funnier!

I watched it on demand late so I thought I might have missed a thread about it.
I totally don't get the judging. I really liked Amanda's paper dress.
People make duct tape dresses all the time now, so that is really no big deal.

I agree with all of you! The straw dress was a knockout, as were the blue dresses. I don't like Amanda with her been here, know what judges like, attitude. Her dress was not a winning look, nor were her teams. Sandhya dress in first challenge was plain ugly. Char, my girl from Detroit, with the yellow top and little flared skirt should have won!
I hate team challenges too. I hope tonight is everyone for themselves.

I just don't get how Amanda's dress won last week. That wasn't a dress! And it certainly wasn't anything that I believe anyone would ever wear. In fact, if someone walked by me wearing all those stringy things draped over duct tape, I'd assume "crazy homeless woman," not "Wow--how awesome."
I liked the two guys with Angela; their creations worked together and looked like clothes. Angela's . . meh. And she annoys the crap out of me. For that matter, so does Sandhja (whatever). Her winning dress the first week appeared to be falling apart, and the one this week just looked slapped together and sloppy; however, it didn't bother me that Carrie went home as she was just obnoxious.
Honestly, I've never cared much for Nina Garcia or her opinions. She could go away! Bring back Michael Kors.

I really like zach Posen though. Have you seen him look at the dresses when they come out for a closer look? He LOOKS. He turns them over, moves them, he SEE's what they can do. No one else does that. He knows good work.

No one else does that. He knows good work. This is very true. One thing I don't like about Michael is that on the finale he ALWAYS has sunglasses on. I realize that the lights are bright on the runway and it's probably hard to see, but you can't tell me he's getting a good look w/shades. How can he even tell what colors the fabrics are? |

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I totally forgot about the dress made of straws - that one was totally awesome! It's amazing how some can be so good and some can be so bad!
