Oh god, that random boxing lesson was so random and forced for the "warrior" theme. They didn't even show all the survivor women's stories either! So what was the point of including them in the episode?

I have not been a big fan of Kenya, but this week's dress was stunning. The color and shape was beautiful. I really thought she deserved to win. No way did Brandon deserve that win AT ALL. Can we all agree he is obviously going to win no matter what? The judges are blindly in love with him.
I hope Kentaro can step it up.

I think they would have compared Brandon and Kentaro's outfits even more if he had kept the gray crop sweater. Although, the gray crop was super cute.

I feel like Tim wasted his save. I feel like he had to use it between kicking off two people in one week and then with Clair's departure that he had to use it.

I'm Team Ayana the rest of the way. She was robbed this week.

I guess I will be the dissenter and say I didn’t love Kenya’s look. It just didn’t do it for me. It was probably my least favorite thing on the runway this week.
I will definitely agree that it seems like there’s no need for them to even finish the show. Hand the win to Brandon and everyone go home. I can not understand their consistent fawning over him and his subsequent big head. Eye roll. I thought that bonnet thing was awful.
Kentaro’s was boring but I loved Ayana’s. She shoulda won.
The second Tim was disagreeing with the judges during the closer look I knew the save was coming. I’m good with it. I didn’t love Margarita’s look but I like her and I’m glad she got a second chance.

Pissed about the save. Her dress was fugly. I liked the gold part and that is it. I think he only used it because really you can’t use it after a certain point right?
Ayana continues to impress me I have a feeling she is already in finals along with Brandon.
Kentaro and the straps now? Wtaf? I mean I think Kentaro is amazing but Brandon is bringing him down. If they were in different work rooms I think he would be able to think on his own without any “brother inspiration”.
Kenya did better this week but her dress didn’t fit the model perfectly at the hips, it kept riding up and bulging and it bothered me. Loved the top of the dress though. I think she got high marks because her model can do no wrong.
I would have liked Brandon’s look without the bonnet and the straps. I agree on the assassins creed description someone gave. Spot on! I just REALLY WISH that all of the judges would tell him never to put straps on again. Like in the finals or anything. I’m so over them. How many people would get those damn straps stuck in their car doors and get tripped up on escalators and God only knows what would happen if they got stuck in between elevator doors! Ha 😉

I said to DH in the middle of the episode that Brandon’s garment looked like a Neapolitan straight jacket, so it was funny to me at the end when he said the colors reminded him of an ice cream sandwich. I guess I’m glad he owned up to that, but it’s ridiculous that the judges ate it all up (pun intended). I mean, how is dressing a woman up as ice cream empowering in any way? Wake up, judges!

Every time we watch we joke about how next season it’s going to Wet n Wild or Smuckers. They’ve seriously fallen so far with their sponsors. It’s unfortunate.
And as soon as the had Snooki and JWow as judges it lost all meaning to me.

Kenya was robbed, 100%. That dress was amaaaaaazing and she totally deserved the win. And if not her, then Ayana. My husband only half watches PR with me (usually he's playing video games or on his phone), but he knows well my hatred for Brandon and he agrees that his designs are the same old weird straps and awful colors. It is never a good idea to have your look inspired by Neapolitan ice cream. Are there actual people who would wear his fashion? I can't imagine any of that in a store.
Kentaro is extremely lucky he did not get kicked off, his look was awful. It was like a weird priest frock. I actually liked Margarita's, and I'm glad Tim liked it, too. He was going to use his save one way or another this episode, it was getting too late in the season. I wouldn't be surprised if Margarita gets eliminated again next episode, she's one of the least out-there designers and they seem to be rewarding out-of-the-box people this season.

I really like Brandon's clothes. The bonnet was strange but I get he's not a everyday wear sort of designer. He's the type of designer that makes something over the top and ideas for everyday fashion are taken from his ideas.
I did not like how the judges jumped on Kentaro for using straps though. Brandon doesn't "own" straps.

Oh and Margarita deserved to go home. She shoved a bunch of red fabric into a leather corset, and I still don't get her aesthetic

The judges go back and forth on these things too easily for my taste.

I was really annoyed with the judges' insinuations with Kentaro, especially because in the workroom and at Mood, Brandon is usually the one asking Kentaro for advice.

Brandon is being so... Brandon tonight. He's so overconfident after last week's win, and since this challenge is winter wear and he's from Utah he's just being super smug.
(Margarita totally called it out during an interview, how he's going to be on top no matter what so there's no use in worrying about him.)

Tonight's looks:
Brandon - What winter look involves a crop top??? And of course, a bow and straps. I barely want the belt on my winter coats, they get caught in everything. Who wants extra straps?! And what is that muff hanging off the pants in front of the crotch?
Margarita - "Hopefully the judges won't notice" = THEY WILL NOTICE. Especially Zac. Also, Liris is making that look way better than it actually is. Long Live Liris.
Ayana - That pink is bright but I'd still wear that coat. The Pollock paint job really came out nice, I think. Not sure how I feel about the houndstooth jumppsuit, though.
Kenya - I love that coat. I wouldn't immediately gravitate to the pattern, but it looks so warm that it would win me over.
Kentaro - It's monochrome but I'm digging it. Although part of me feels like it's still very Kentaro's version of Brandon.

So there's no winner of this challenge? They just moved designers forward but unless I missed something they didn't announce a winner.
Also that editing at the end was terrible.

Haven't they done this before in past seasons where the designers have to show a small capsule of the collection and then they eliminate to move the top 3 forward to fashion week?

I like Brandon. Kentaro's was my favorite this week. I also think Ayana has a clear OOH. Both Margarita and Kenya have been so up and down and I don't think they'd bring something new to the design table.

There was no point to this episode.
Margarita made a bathrobe and an ugly fur dress. I really don't get why she is still around.

Although I really loved Kenya's coat, I believe it should've been Kentaro, Brandan, and Ayana in the final 3. They needed to rip the bandaid and cut Kenya and Margarita. Personally, I have no interest in either one of their collections.
But I do think it's gping to be a really strong final runway show.

I really need Kenya to retire that leopard print scarf. But I did almost tear up at her reaction to still be in the running. I loved her coat.
Margarita crys too much. Her look(s) for me aren't that impressive over all, so I'm surprised they kept her. I don't know why Tim seems to adore her.
It'll be Kentaro, Ayana, and Brandon in fashion week.

I totally teared up when Kenya found out she was still in. I liked her coat, I really don't get her obsession with the dalmation/black and white polka dots, though.
Kentaro's coat was really cool, but why shorts?? Margarita is very lucky she has Liris, that woman could pull off a burlap sack and make it look like fashion. Can some brand snatch up Liris already and make her a supermodel?
Ol' flaps and straps did what he does best, and the judges gushed all over it because they love those flaps and straps. And apparently also love winter crop tops and crotch bags and unusable coats made out of wax fabric that will look awful after 1 wear.
I didn't love Ayana's look as much as I have loves others, but the coat was nicely tailored and the pink was cool. DNW that jumpsuit.
I'm glad they all get to have a chance at fashion week still, although I thought for sure Margarita would get eliminated. It will be very interesting to see what they can do with more time and budget.
