Episode ? - Deniminimin (Spoilers)

I was kind of glad Victoryahaha got auf'ed. That coat was really lame. I liked the concept of Jillian's coat, but the execution did come out kind of wrong. And it looked a lot like the coat they had just done in the previous challenge.

We thought Christian got robbed of the win, actually. But when that Levi's lady said the winning design was going to be sold as a limited edition then we understood why Christian couldn't have won (his outfit would've been too hard to produce). We were also surprised the judges liked Sweet P's dress.

I didn't really get the challenge at first because that lady was all "Make an iconic piece using the originality and creativity of Levi's 501 jeans" and I was all "what's so creative about jeans these days? jeans are jeans..." and Roommate was all "they just have to make something out of denim basically" and I was all "Ohhhh.... Why couldn't she just say that then?"

    I was super glad that Victorya was cut. I'm ready for Jillian to go, too. Her coat was basically a shorter, denim version of the one she turned out last week. I'm also sick of her manner: she seems to take on these huge projects that she thinks are so creative, and then she's always, always, always freaking out about the time limit. Christian can be kind of a pain in the ass, and when he doesn't like the challenge, I think he gets a bit lazy, but he still turns out interesting pieces and he executes them well, even in the face of really tight time frames. I was really surprised by what he did, especially considering he had immunity and could have just thrown something really lame together, but what he made looked like his style, and it was finished well.

    I'm still a little shocked that Ricky won, but I am not shocked that he broke down on the runway. Again. Can't wait for the reunion episode when they make a montage of Ricky blubbering his way through challenge after challenge.

      We figured "they" gave Ricky the win in order to justify his continued existence on the show.

        At the beginning of last night's show, we started talking about what an unremarkable group of designers they picked for this season. I think all four of last season's finalists, Laura, Jeffrey, Michael and Uli, would have easily made it to the finals again if they were on this season. While if you took those same four and put them in seasons 1 or 2, they would have had plenty of competition.

        Auf them, already: Ricky and Sweet P

        Probably should go: Rami

        That leaves Christian, Jillian, and Chris for the finals. Weak! Although I would love to see what Chris would come up with.

    I can not see what they thought was so great about Rickys dress. I tried to see it, but I thought it was total lame crap.

    I thought Ramis zipper dress was really cute. Im sorry he didnt win and Ricky did.

    And sire Christians outfit was nice...but arnt we seeing a pattern like Ramis draped dresses?? I am. Christian keeps on making these cropped, fitted tailored jackets. Every other challenge he is doing it. Sure theyre cute, but someone needs to branch out.

    I doubt that Rami is going to do another draped dress, since such a stink has been made about them before. And also on yesterdays judging.

    I dont know whats wrong with me, but I thought Jillins coat was kind of bad ass. Ive been wanting to make a coat like that, but Im not a good sewer. As soon as I saw her coat, I thought to myself "Thats it, thats the coat I want!" And the judges hated it. Of course I wouldnt want it in denim, since I hate denim...I thought the shape was cool.

      Maybe I'm just a simpleton...but that shit that Christian did with the sleeves for legs on his jeans was fantastic.

      I thought his offering was clearly the winner.

      And I thought that Sweet P's dress was shockingly good. When they were showing it under construction it looked a mess...but she really turned it out. And the fit seemed spot on.

      Rami. Blah. Over him entirely.

      Jillian too.

      Chris didn't show up this week. But it WAS a denim challenge. Not exactly a fabulous fabric for someone as colorful as Chris.

      I'll be happy if Chris and Christian are in the finals. Whoever else is there won't really excite me at all.

        Agreed 100%, you called it exactly like I would. Ricky's dress was pretty cute to me, but SIMPLE. I would look like a damn spring roll if I tried to button my fat ass into it, but whatever. SweetP - jesus christ, she comes off like such a doddering fool. Sharpen the fucking saw, bitch! I didn't like the boobage part of her dress, it looked totall weird. I see the slimming effect and all but I sure as hell didn't think it was very chic. SOOO happy to see Victoryayayaya go, could care less about her bitchy attitude or her design aesthetic.

              I saw the promo for the next episode (which is apparently on in two weeks, February 6th, for some reason --- what, is the Super Bowl on Bravo or something this Wednesday?) and who they're designing for is totally stupid. They should've had this challenge at the beginning instead of toward the end when it's supposed to be the best contenders.

            "and am I to understand Ricky MAKES those fug-assed trucker hats??!?!"

            Yes. Out of denim, no less: "I love working with denim. I make my hats out of denim."

                This weeks episode was boring. You count on Christian do something edgy, interesting... and "vangaurd" with any challenge (hehe... couldn't do it with that bitchy black girl..couldn't he? hahah still laughing) Christian did a great piece but it was indeed "Christain"... It was expected even with Denim. You would think Denim would actually break anyone ought of their molds. Poor Rami couldn't drape with Denim. I expected him to malfunction and release RAMI-GAS everywhere with explosions and kill sweet pea before she could get her hippy dress done.

                I Think Jillian will make it to Finals and Rami will too. Both are...after all is said...and done... FOCUSED...and know the business. Chris won't make it to Finals. I actually liked his tube... If he had only fringed the edges and made it like everything else. He would have had a chance at winning.

                Rami's Zipper usage: I have TWO pairs of jeans with Zipper lining from Imperial .... It's not THAT fashion forward.

    Also glad to see Victorya go. Christian may have had the best design but I was glad he didn't win - needs to realize he ain't the be all, end all, and he does make the same jacket over and over and over ... But with Rami and the zippers, um, didn't Jeffrey do this last year for the final four runway show? That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the rough edges of Chris' dress - put the zippers there!
