Wow, what a great episode. I loved so many looks for the first time in a long time!
Feel bad for Kadzainla but his look was hideous. Like a clown threw up on her.
I was shocked with Deyonte's look. I noticed on the runway, he had no bandaid or anything on the finger he sewed through! He was very lucky to be safe.
I really didn't like Claire's look but I though Amy should have been in the top over Magarita for her innovation. Her jumpsuit dress turned into a sweater! That was genius.

You're right; Deyonté was lucky to be safe. His dress was ugly. It looked nothing like the sketch he had drawn.
I loved Kenya's black and white outfit. It fit the model like a glove.
I'm happy for Brandon. Although I did not see dance and movement in his outfit, it still represented his style 100%. He seems like such a sweet young man. So quiet and thoughtful, so unlike the twins. I can see why they annoy everyone.
I hated the butterfly sleeves/cape. The fabric looked cheap and tacky to me.
So, it's a pyjama theme challenge next week?

It was a really strong runway this week. I was disappointed Amy didn't make the top three. I loved her transformation. I'm surprised the judges like Margarita's dress as much as they did. It made me think of Seinfeld's pirate shirt. I loved Batani's butterfly outfit. What a contrast between Brandon's zen energy and the twins' frenetic energy. Maybe he will rub off on them.  SaveSave |

I felt bad for him too, until he started referring to himself in the third person. After that I was easily able to shake it off. |

I agee that Amy's design was deserving of a nod from the judges.
Overall, the first episodes of the season always frustrate me because some designers are determined "safe" so often that they have no exposure or goodwill banked for later episodes.
I agree that Kenya's designed looked fabulous, which surprised me based on fabric choice and plans. I like when that happens.

I liked many of the designs this week and absolutely love Brandon's attitude and his work. I thought it was so cute when his model commented that so many of the models are crushing on him!

I loved Kenyas look
And for the first time I liked Amy's look and could totally see my DD wearing that.

I'm surprised the judges like Margarita's dress as much as they did. It made me think of Seinfeld's pirate shirt This really surprised me too...I was sure it was in the bottom and then as they were going along the line I realised it was going to be in the top. It was plain and ugly all at the same time and I actually said "puffy shirt" out loud to myself  so obviously I wasn't the only one. All the rest I agreed with. I wanted to slap Deyonte going on and on about his 'terrible pain'...it was a needle stick, not a limb amputation. Yes it would be annoying to have it bandaged up when he was trying to work, but a needle into a 1cm of flesh isn't worth all that fuss...I do that to people everyday in my job and they don't carry on like that about it. I hope he re-evaluated his dreadful pain when he watched his wife give birth. Those twins would drive me crazy, that talk and the running around and the clumsiness would push all of my buttons. I thought the red dress was pretty horrible, I think she must have just scraped through with that one. I liked a lot of the looks, even the modest girl's outfit ended up looking surprisingly good compared to what it was when Tim went around. Plus I want to see that movie, I don't generally like animated films, but might make an exception for that one. |

There are a lot of designers that I like this season. Those twins are a hot mess, which means they will stick around as long as possible.
Brandon has a very specific point of view. He seems so sweet and talented. I wonder if he will be able to adapt to challenges that don't fit his aesthetic? If he can, he's definitely a contender.
I love having the models of various sizes this season. It will really challenge the designers, and is true to life. I also like seeing their brief points of view, so they aren't just anonymous bodies walking the runway.

I am behind and just watched this episode, and agree mostly with what everyone said. One thing I don't remember seeing is anything mentioned about the "Tim Gunn Save". Did I just miss it or did they do away with it?

He hasn't used it yet I'm pretty sure they mentioned it in episode one this season though

Thanks for sharing the link. What did they change that you liked? It looked 'basically' the same to me. What's with all the PR sweatshirts and such on sale as well? |

There was a small slit above the the buttons. It seemed much more asymmetrical on the runway and seemed to drape better because if it. It just seems like JCP turned a dress that felt very fresh into something more matronly.

Ugh I wanted Brandon and Kentaro to win so bad. I would have bought Brandon's duster in a heartbeat. It's a garment that all sizes could wear. I like the winning look but would never buy it. Brandon and Kentaro had much more versatility for JCP customers.
So bummed. I was so ready to buy that duster and the jacket. Loved the print. Seriously, I had JCP website open ready to order.

I seriously think the difficulty with Brandon and Kentaro would be picking a winner between the two - they collaborated perfectly. With Margarita and Batani, Margarita was clearly the winner and I loved the flowy, sexiness of her dress which I think is missing in the JCP version.  Margarita's original above, JCP version below  ETA And, yeah, one of the twins leaves next week! I'm expecting Shawn to go and it will be interesting to see how Claire does on her own. |

The slit in the back is too high & too small in the JCP version and they lost all the flounce flirtyness that was at the bottom front on the models right. And they sleeves just don’t look right. JCP took it from a cute flirty dress my DD could wear and tried to make it semi business formal. Lost it’s appeal. |

I think the problem with the JCP dress is that the waist is higher, vs lower on the waist. And then it doesn't fall higher on the thigh, which makes is sexy, and more swingy.

I can't wait to see how the twins face off in their one hour challenge. They have been beyond annoying and the editing on the show has definitely highlighted it! I wonder if Claire will fall apart even tho she is technically stronger. Shawn is a hot mess....

I sincerely hope it's a double elimination and they both go. There are too many great designers this season to have it spoiled by those two. PR probably thinks it brings drama to the show, actually it's making a lot not watch.

Me too! I don't even think they are that good! I've seen better stuff from ones that have gone before them. At least they designed, and didn't copy anyone else!

Seriously, I want to see the face off for dramatic purposes but don't try and tell me that the judges don't already know that Claire is the stronger designer...at least that Shawn is not capable of working on her own. It has been ongoing and Tim told them a couple weeks ago it was BAD adn they said that they would address it but never did!!
I loved Brandon and Kentaros look but both are very recent winners and their looks had so many pieces (for JCP). I was happy for Margarita though..their looks were cute.
