I was so worried they would send Kentaro home tonight. I'm glad he was safe. I do not understand how they gave Kenya high praise for that simple black dress in an unconventional challenge. I agreed with the win. Ayana brought the runway drama. Ayana's was AMAZING. I am so glad she won!

I’m still catching up to this weeks Ep but I was not impressed with last weeks winner. That dress was not flattering and like something out of fifth element. I do not see how that was the winning look.

Just caught up. Margaritas look reminded me of a football players shoulder padding. Then the front was very ..modern gladiator. She has a creative mind I will give her that. I still agree with the judges that I don’t know who she is as a designer. Brandon really is a great designer but if I never see another random loose hanging strap from one of his garments I would be a true fan. I would love to see his collection. I’m really wishing they could let him use some male models so I can see more of his mens wear. I think if Kentaro went home I know for a fact Tim Gunn would save him. I’m glad he didn’t use it on Michael & I’m glad he was the one to go. I want to see Brandon, Ayana, and Kentaro in the finals!

Ayana's was amazing. I hope she's in the final three.
I was cringing at Kentaro's look and how he styled Lyris.
Margarita is pretty impressed with herself.

Even though the twins are gone they still have margarita and she eats so many crackers. Agreed. She thinks she’s so good and I literally can’t stand her. And I think she sucks.

Margarita is around to talk trash about everyone. I'm also over Brandon and his same stuff different week. I was expecting Michael to get the Tim Gunn save this week.

I really liked Brandon's look this week. Besides the straps, I think it was different from his other looks with the structure.
I'm also glad Kentaro didn't go. Man that styling was really bad though.
Im actually ok with Margarita. Most of her stuff has been pretty good, though I do agree that I don't really see her designer POV, same with Kenya.

Just caught up.
I actually really like Brandon! I agree the straps are a little too much at this point, but I think he has great style. I want to see his men's wear.

Im done with Margarita. I did not like her unconventional look. She just kept gluing shit on until time was up.
Happy Michael went home.
Kenya's was meh.
Ayana's look was amazing for unconventional. I want to see her in the final. I think she has some really interesting ideas.

I'm glad Kentaro was safe but his look sucked. Tim would for sure use his save on him.
I don't think it was fair for the judges to ask Liris if she was comfortable. That wasn't the point of the challenge and I really don't believe any model was exactly comfortable.
Honestly, while I love how they have models of different sizes this season, I don't like how they listen to their opinions. Like Michael's model who called herself a hooker.

The way I took it was Claire literally measured every inch of a pair of pants she owned and made an exact identical pair. If that's the case, she copied another designer's work. Take my opinion with a grain of salt here cause I'm not a designer, but I would consider that cheating. If, thats not common to do in that type of work. It might be!? Idk Plus, they are not allowed to work on their designs outside of the work room. It's against the rules.

Editing totally set up Michael to be the one eliminated.
I can't believe Kenya had high marks. Her dress was a mess imo, and not interesting.
Maybe they love Brandon so much because he has a specific vision that he's able to convey with every challenge?

Maybe they love Brandon’s so much because he is really good at designing no matter what the challenges are and he still keeps true to his aesthetic. I can’t wait to see him in the finals. I already put him there because he’s better than almost all of them besides Kentaro. Mind you I saw this in him since day 1. I guess you have to really like his type of style to really “get it”.

It finally popped up on On Demand so I got to watch.
I’m very much over Brandon. His look was nice this week but it seems all the same to me. If the judges don’t have a sense of who Margarita is, I feel like I have too much of a sense of who Brandon is. I’m pretty sure I can already picture his runway from start to finish.
Ayana’s was amazing! Love. And I love her. I liked Margarita’s too and overall I like her as a designer.
Kenya’s I’m surprised they were as happy with as they were. It didn’t do much for me.
Sad to see Michael go but it was bad. I’m glad Tim didn’t use his save. I was half expecting him too.
Kentaro’s was awful too. And honestly probably culturally insensitive. But there was no question of the judges sending him home. Least suspenseful judging ever.

I thought for sure they were setting up for Michael to be saved by Tim, with his comments in the beginning of the episode. His look was super hooker-y, definitely deserved it, although Kentaro was not good either.
Margarita's weird primary color mad max outfit should have been on the bottom, it looked like a craft project and did not transform the materials. Ayana's dress was badass.
The Brandon love is ridiculous, they are obsessed with him even though he makes the same sh*t every week. I'm going to be pissed when he wins with a runway full of ugly oversized clothes with straps.
Prediction for the final runway: Brandon, Kentaro, Ayana. Who I would like it to be: Kentaro, Kenya, Ayana.
I loved Zac making fun of the guest judge loving the blue color. I wish they did a better job finding guest judges who actually know things about fashion instead of just people who want to promote their latest movie/album/product. I don't even remember who she was, some actress?

Dramaphile I don't like their choices for guest judges either. I rarely know who anyone is. Just because you're in a movie doesn't make you an expert on fashion

Just because you're in a movie doesn't make you an expert on fashion I feel like they'll feed lines to the guest judges as well. Sometimes they sound like they know what they are talking about, but mostly not.

I miss when they had more actual designers (or even models) as judges.

I re-watched the last episode yesterday, and I am thinking that maybe Brandon's stuff is just nicer in person than it is on screen. When they were looking closely at his outfit you could see where he'd done subtle patterns with stitching, attached trivets (or whatever the word is) in interesting places, stuff we wouldn't really see on the runway or even be able to notice. I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt because otherwise I have no idea why they are so obsessed with him.

Ugh. Kentaro’s was so so bad. Disappointing.
I like Brandon. I’m sure he’ll be in the finale and I’m excited to see his collection.
Ayana ❤️❤️❤️ I love her. I want her to win it all.

The guest judge was a girl from Mr Robot. She’s beautiful! ..but yeah she doesn’t know much about fashion. I think they use actresses to help them decide if the outfit is wearable or not. Like would she wear that and if she says she would then that’s a positive and if not then that’s to show the judges that clients opinions mean something too not just their own.

Probably more likely the actress's agent got her on the show to promote something. They do so many sponsored challenges and promos for movies and actors and new fashion lines nowadays. I know they gotta make money, but it's a lot. This year so far, they're had challenges sponsored by: Leap! Descendents 2 Dixie Shopkins Lexus and that's not including the challenges associated with actual fashion brands (JC Penney and Heidi Klum intimates)

Running down tonight's looks:
Kenya: Way to pull it together - Liris looked AMAZING (as per but especially today). I hope she wins.
Brandon: New week, same shit. I do not understand how this was on top. It looks like a Hello Kitty version of something in Assassin's Creed. So of course, the judges are falling all over themselves.
Margarita: If she had made the dress in all red, I think it would have been so much better.
Kentaro: Agree with Nina, it's a black version of what Brandon usually does.
Ayana: Really like it. I love how much she's grown in the past few weeks and I really hope she makes the final.
Also, I really love how into the up-close exams Zac gets. He goes all over the looks and really studies them.
Edited to add: UGH NO WHY?! Brandon's getting so overconfident and it just makes me more annoyed with him.

Ayanna and Kenya both deserved that win over Brandon. He can have third since Margarita and Kentaro were both a bit of a mess.

Kentaro is definitely the one with something to prove in this last challenge before fashion week. He started the season so strong, but has been struggling of late.

Zac grabbed a handful of boob during the close ups of the Lexus challenge. It wasn't necessary. I don't know the model's name, but it was Michael's look with all the bungee cords.
