This season is totally underwhelming. Maybe I'm jaded? or maybe current fashion bores me? And once again I cannot understand the Brandon love, his outfit was a weird straight jacket that had nothing to do with dance. I just don't get the obsession with oversized clothing this season.
The one outfit I loved was Batani's, she is finally working with patterns and doing what she does best, and you can see the dance influence. Margarita's bomba dress was costume-y.
Deyonte was very lucky that Kudzanai's look was so out there, that neon green dress was a hot mess. I hope he can get it back together next week, his injury definitely distracted him.
The twins calling each other "Punkin" is weird and gross. (although that's probably influenced by my severe hatred of them, so.)

I feel like he should have been able to find something better to work with. Maybe he just ran out of time shopping.

This was a weird challenge I thought. I agree, I don't understand the Brandon obsession. His look did not impress me. I thought it was fine, but not a top look even. I wanted to see Samantha's look closer up. I liked that one.

Samantha, Kenya and batani were my favorite for the week.
You don't put feathers on an outfit unless it's an unconventional materials or a bird costume challenge. That was bad.

They barely even touched on the innovation component during the judging.

Idk I kinda agreed with Zac about the metallic fabric Batani used. Was not a fan of that part of it. But overall, it had good runway impact.

I'm really surprised Amy hasn't been in the top yet or even received a critique. I thought she was going to a front runner at the beginning of the season.

Loved Kenya's. She's becoming one of my favorites.

What's weird about calling a sibling a nickname? They are clearly extremely close I don't think punkin is bizarre. I'd hate to be around them 24/7. They are just too much. Who is is their roommate? Rip their sanity.

I agreed with the win. It looked really well made and cool on the runway. I agree that the dance and innovation tie ins were too much for one challenge. I think Amy should have been in the top 3.

Finally caught up. Everyone has said a lot of what I was thinking already.
I think the one that lost looked like an unconventional challenge outfit. It was so bad. Deyonte's dress was not good at all but I loved the color, that may be a ffc. I'm surprised the judges didn't rip into him more about using his injury as an excuse. I love his aesthetic so I hope he pulls it out next week. Also, why the hell was Maddy a judge!? You could tell she was not in her wheelhouse.

I loved Kentaro's. I really think it should have won. It was so feminine, fun and looked comfy.

But a sleepwear challenge?!?! Overall pretty underwhelming and boring episode.

I think the top 3 were all deserving, so I would have been happy if any of them had won, but I really liked Kentaro's. I thought Samantha's was really good - I hope she starts moving up and out of the safe pack soon.
Watching next week's sneak peek, I hope Margarita makes something sexy and flattering for Jazzmine (I think that's her name? It's still early so I may be mixing names and faces still), nobody who has designed for her so far has done anything remotely good looking for her.
(edited for words.)

But a sleepwear challenge?!?! Overall pretty underwhelming and boring episode. Yup. I read an entire textbook chapter while watching. This has been the most uninteresting season. At this point I'm just waiting for the cheating scandal to liven it up. The designs aren't nearly as good as past seasons either. I was almost half expecting it last night - like after all the bitching everyone did about the twins helping each other, I thought they'd name Shawn the winner and Michael would get upset. I'm very curious about when this will happen. That said next week they are on opposite tracks and are put on opposite sides of the room, and I'm pretty happy about it.

I did not agree with the win tonight at all. The 2 other top looks were both better. I think he probably won because it fit best with Heidi's collection or it would be easiest to reproduce. I'm surprised at how bad so many of the designs were this time. How hard can cute sleepwear be?

I just thought it was a simple nightie with a cute print.

I agree, that I loved Samatha's look! I wish she had been in the top. I liked her look last week too. But I actually liked Michael's too and Shawn's. I think the right person went home. Deyonte's last couple looks were just awful.
I was also wondering if the cheating scandal was going to come this week with everyone talking about Shawn and Claire.

I still have to catch up with Thursday's episode, but I've liked what I've seen so far. I'm interested in the cheating thing too.

Ugh...I hate to admit it but I really loved Shawn's. I would wear that.
I am glad that the top three at least actually made a print on their fabric. I thought that was one of the rules, yet half the looks came out with no print on them.

I thought that was one of the rules, yet half the looks came out with no print on them. Ha, yes, I had a hard time swallowing the fact that hers was good because I... really do not like the twins. Which is probably the point of them being there, it makes for "good" TV. I thought the rule was that they had to make their own textile, so I guess that could include dyeing etc? I don't remember it being about a print specifically, just that they had to alter the fabric in some way. I could be mistaken, except that I feel like they always make a huge deal when people fail to meet the parameters of the challenge.

+whatever to assuming the cheating scandal was going to be this episode, but I feel like it has to include the twins and they are building up to it.
I feel like the beginning of the season is always a little boring with weeding out the first few losers and getting to "know" the group, but I also haven't been disappointed about anyone who has been sent home yet, so hopefully things pick up soon!

Finally watched over the weekend! So much boring this episode!
Deyonte deserved to go home, he is a good designer but has no idea what to do with a curvy woman. Who would want to wear that to bed! I feel like most of the designs didn't actually look like anything anyone would wear to sleep in, except for the top designs. I did love Samantha's color-blocked robe, and I thought Batani's was pretty, although if I actually slept in that I would totally wake up with my boob hanging out (maybe not a bad thing? lol). Most of them sucked on the textile manipulation, they were mostly ugly dye jobs.
Shawn's design was nice, and the print was pretty, but I wonder how it'll go when they find out how much her twin is helping her and vice versa. Helping isn't against the rules persay, but should be taken into account for judging purposes. I'm glad Kenya is safe, even though her romper was a mess. Who designs a romper to sleep in? I love Heidi calling her out for it by saying she would pee herself!
Aaron's see-thru shorts were.... disturbing...
