Brandon's was good, but didn't really fit the challenge. I thought there was like 5 other people that deserved to win over him..

Aaron's was soo bad. The judges faces during the runway 😂 😂 glad he's gone. Yes that was so terrible. That poor model that had to wear that.

I love Kenya usually, but I'm sorry I just couldn't stop thinking of Prince.

I'm so thankful Aaron's was so bad, because I think he kept Sam from going home. I really like her.
I do NOT get Brandon. At all. He seems like a nice guy and I love the Kentaro bromance, but I do not understand his looks or why the judges were falling all over themselves for what he put on the runway last night. Kenya deserved a win, Michael's turned out much better than I thought it would at first, and I really thought Margarita deserved to be in the top.
We are cruising for some major twin drama next week, I think. I can't wait.
ETA: Also, was anyone else momentarily afraid Tim was going to save Aaron? The way he started talking I thought it might have been coming...

About 2/3 of the way through this week's episode. So far I'm annoyed that EVERY WEEK at least one designer with a larger/curvy model has to make a comment about how they are nervous about it. I mean...at this point you know it's coming, just deal.

I'm also laughing at the facial expressions of some of these designers just nodding at the feedback from these, like, 12 year old actors who I have never heard of.
(I know they're not 12, but YKWIM)

Final thoughts:
I love Brandon, but this was not a winning look. I'm not even sure he should have been in the top 3.
Samantha's look was awful, period. I was surprised, I thought she would kill this challenge.
I will not miss a single thing about Aaron. Buh-bye!

Am I the only one who hadn't heard of the Descendants before? Huh. I adore how much Kenya clearly hates the twins.
What was with Margarita's "I design for the real woman" but she has never dressed a plus sized woman before? Um, 'kay. That said I liked her look a lot.
A lot of those looked like costumes to me. I hated that I really liked Shawn's. And I wanted to wear Batani's.
I did not understand Brandon's at all and felt like the twilight zone with the judges loving it and him winning. WTF. Could she even use her hands? And I didn't like Kenya's. I wanted to but meh. Too much IMO. Michael's was amazing, I think he should have won. I was bummed to see Samantha in the bottom. Her look wasn't great but she's made such nice things in the past and not been noticed for them.
I think the right person went home, sadly. Claire did not seem grateful to stay at all, so much hate.

I'd never heard of the Descendants either, I just chalk it up to being old and out of touch. Orrrr maybe their entertainment tie-ins have fallen just as much as their sponsors?* I agree Michael's was amazing, plus Brandon's didn't even look like evening wear. And YES I forgot to call out Claire's cattiness after being safe. I agree you don't necessarily have to grovel and cry, but her response was too much in the other direction. *Eta: TIC. I know I'm out of touch, just trying to be funny.

Descendents is a Disney Channel movie, not a movie theater movie. I have seen it, because I'm cool like that. Not bad as far as tween movies go.
I will say these girls had way better things to say than the Dance Moms girl a couple weeks ago, who was obviously just agreeing with the judges and not offering her own insight.

I am still mystified why the judges love Brandon so much, his designs are not anything a person would actually want to wear. I'm really worried he's going to win this whole season because the judges have such a hard-on for his weird oversized straight-jacket wear.
My husband saw Aaron's look and said "Oh dear god..." It could have been an unconventional challenge design loser from a party store... Dude seems sweet, but I thought all his designs were weird.
Michael should have won this challenge, his design was soooooo gorgeous. Beyonce should get his number. Kenya's was a bit Austin Powers for me, but gorgeously made and fit. I agree Margarita should have been the other top designer- despite her complaints early on, her model looked gorgeous.
This was the first challenge where I really liked a good number of the designs.
Looking forward to Twin drama next week!

(I know they're not 12, but YKWIM) I just found this thread! I've been watching for quite awhile. I agree it's so funny to watch the designers as they listen to the guest judges when you know they're thinking 'you don't know anything about fashion.' Heidi annoys me the most though, mostly because it seems her own red carpet looks are terrible so what makes her a good judge? I mean, except for the fact that she created the show...

Heidi makes more worst dressed lists than she does best. It is known.

I really liked tonight's episode. I loved seeing the models' personal styles and them getting to choose their designers.
I also agreed with the win. I loved Kentaro's. I am liking him more and more.

But what did everyone think of Kenya's?? I was very confused with that one. When they called her name I totally thought she was on the bottom, I hated it. The Cruela Deville print was killing me. The model's hair on the runway looked sloppy to me.

How are the twins still there?!?! Claire has been in the bottom twice in a row and Shawn keeps skating by with her sister's help. I was really hoping they would call out Shawn for basically copying her model's original outfit.
When is the cheating scandal already??

I am sad Samantha is gone. I thought her look had way more to it than Margarita's. I did love this challenge, though, and thought Kentaro's looked amazing. Kenya's turned out better than I thought. Not my taste, but there are women in my office I could see loving it.
Also I do not like Georgina as a blond. I didn't recognize her at first.
It looks like from next week's preview the twins will be working together. I wish they made them separate. I'm glad Tim said something tonight, but it doesn't look like it made much difference.

I'm kinda glad the Lolita look got booted. I really don't like that style. Margaritas sucked too. It should have been a double elimination this week but only because I have been wishing marg would go home.

I actually liked Kenya's look. At first I was skeptical, but it grew on me. I'm glad Kentaro won, I liked his look. I don't know what to think of the twins and I'm anxious to see what the cheating scandal is.

Kenya's was my favorite of the episode. I wouldn't love it for every model, but thought it was great on hers.

I hate the twins. They get on my fucking nerves. I try to watch and act like they are in the background but they are so loud and awkward and all over the place.

I didn't mind Kenya's. I thought I was going to hate it but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
The models hair and makeup, however, looked like Courtney Love.

cakewench I actually thought Georgina looked good blonde! Despise the twins and their aesthetic. Claire should've left. They're keeping them for drama ... if that will ever happen. I'm waiting every episode for the cheating scandal! I loved Kentaro's look! And I wish Amy would stop being safe. I have really liked a lot of her clothes so far.

Also, why did Margarita make it seem like her model was asking for too much? Or being stuck up? They seemed to get along great and Margarita was happy with what her model was asking for. Bitch move

quinn, I did not see Margarita throwing her model under the bus coming. I don’t think her model did either. I agree that it was a bitch move. yeah her model was definitely caught off guard!

They are keeping the twins around for drama and because it's gimmicky. Claire could easily have gone home, and Shawn wouldn't be around much longer without her sister's help.
