Did any of them understand that these outfits are meant for the olympics? Style is one thing, but at least make it somewhat practical. Some of the outfits
weren't bad, but they totally didn't fit with theme of the challenge. Joe's was the most wearable, but I hated that giant USA, it just looked a
little too much for me there. He should have made it more subtle, the colors alone speak volumes for the outfit. The length was the other issue, but I think he
loss because he was too "literal." Terri's was one of my faves, but the tube top just looked odd to me. It didn't look like it fitted the
model well. She would have been better off doing it as a tank, I can see athletes wearing that as opposed to a tube top.

I laughed at Jennifer saying she brought an element of surrealism to the show. Um, bitch, which one of your dowdy ass little home on the prairie outfits was
the surreal one?

i kept thinking about the sporty challenge in PRunway Australia last week, and how HORRIBLE the american talent is in comparison.
these designers should be ashamed of themselves. not even a single good design in those monstrosities. |

i think that any contestant that actually puts the letters "USA" on the garment, regardless of how awful his spork outfit might have been should
have won.
it actually said "USA". red, white and blue. my god, does no one here understand fashion? or the olympics? pedestrians... |

"My aesthetic is Holly Golightly visits a Salvador Dali exhibit..." yeah fucking right. Hopefully this will now decrease the Leanne/Jennifer
confusions. At least Leanne puts on those blocky glasses to stand out a bit.
I agree that Terri was once again robbed. Her outfits have been fantastic each week, imo, but at least the judges are deservedly recognizing her. I think Kelli is another one who turns in solid work every week and isn't necessarily recognized for it all the time. Seriously, though. Attempting to do an athletic-centered design challenge with a bunch of fashion-centric gays and meek girls (aside from Leathah Stella and that hyena Kenley) was a disaster waiting to happen. I guess that's why it made for pretty good TV, albeit horrible designs going down the catwalk. Please no more athlete guest stars - I am betting more fraus watching the show remembered Apolo from Dancing With the Stars than the Olympics (because who really cares about speed skating outside of the month or so the winter olympics are on?) |

Out of the top three that they picked Korto's was my least favorite. It had that high waist look going on that I absolutely hate. I liked Joe's
outfit except for the fact that it was a skort. He should have either gone with a skirt or shorts not both. Who even wears skorts anymore? I thought
Terri's outfit should have won. I agree the tube top thing looked weird but overall hers was still the best.
They totally got the bottom three right. Those outfits were laughable. Nothing about them said athletic or America. I guess Daniel at least tried to use the right colors, Jennifer didn't even do that right and that was a given. I don't understand how you could chose to not use red white and blue. I have to agree that most of the designs in this challenge were bad. My main problem was that most of them would never look good on anybody but a stick thin model. Even the ones that I thought looked okay on the runway I just kept thinking how bad it would look on someone with an athletic build. |

OMG, they spoiled next week on the preview .....BROOKE SHEILDS!
My main problem was that most of them would never look good on anybody but a stick thin model.Yes. During the runway, all I could think of is what that outfit would look like on a female decathelete or a gymnast. Terri's was the only one that would work - it would even work for men. Korto's high waisted pants...ugh, I hate this trend they are trying to push on us. On some of the women, it would make their asses look 2 feet long. I wonder what the menswear version of Daniel's would look. A shiny purple suit with big red buttons. I googled it and all I got was The Joker, The Mask and pimps. |

Props to Terri for nailing it again, even if, as said, the tube top hit the model a little strangely. I also liked Joe's a lot, even if I hate Joe -- I
just wish he would have picked a plain skirt or plain shorts, though I guess more power to him for attempting PR's first skort (that I remember). I
didn't like Korto's... it seemed a little drab, and a little too reminiscent of her jumpsuit from the week before. If I had to give the victory to one
of them, it would have been Joe.
Daniel is so cute. Unfortunately, he's also so fucked, but at least he came out of the whole thing with a boyfriend. Jennifer just came out of it with a bunch of matronly dresses in shitty fabrics. Is next week the pairs challenge? A shot shows all of the designers standing on the runway in pairs. The only couple I can make out is Blayne and Leanne. Poor Leanne; I'll light a votive candle for her tonight. EDIT: The pairs are/appear to be:

I am trying to envision the female shot putters in any of those outfits.....not happening.
So many of these designers don't really finish off their garments. |

Terri rocked it again...she has quickly become my favorite designer for the season. She's one of the few designers not stuck in their own little world.
Some of the designers are so obsessed with making sure every garment includes their own style or 'vision' that they seem to forget about the
practicality of their garment in relation to the given task.
And i hate to say it but on some level I am actually starting to find Blayne mildly entertaining. **shudder** |

Jerell's dress was absolute shit, they should have cut all three of the bottom designers. Jerell and Daniel's straight up looked like flight attendants. Why did none of the judges say that? They both screamed "40s stewardesses" to me. Not that I know what a 40s stewardess looks like, but I bet its something like that. Poor Jennifer. She seemed to nice/quiet for a reality show. I felt bad for her when she got kicked off, but really, is she retarded? No red anywhere? |

In their defense, the purpose of the challenge changes sometimes after the judging and then they all look like complete idiots.
First they take them to a museum to show them all the outfits that were worn over the years-- very few were sporty or athletic looking or showed off athletic bodies. Often men are wearing suits and ties- does that say athletic? And the women were wearing dresses. I think the designers interpreted that as anything could be worn in the parade it didnt have to be an athletic outfit...then at the judging they went on and on about how none of these say anything about sports...having the outfits scream sports was not stressed to them. They were supposed to think about it and realize these outfits should be sporty to show off the great bodies..then they have 30 minuites to sketch surrounded by photos of women in dresses....then the judges pick one that doesnt show off an athletic body. A woman's muscular body is best shown off by a mini skirt and tight top- god forbid one of them made something like that - Michael "My god these women are athletes not hookers!" |

Terri should have won this, hands down. Robbed. I wonder what lost it for her? The fit of the bustier or the fact that it was strapless to begin with? Has
to be able to be worn by a 15 or 16 year old, too.
Joe's was great--but the skort should have been a skirt or pants. And lose the big ass USA. Overall the look was more warm-up and the opening ceremony is more about professional/dressier, which probably cost him. That jacket would have looked good on any of the female athletes. Korto's was boring, the jacket was too Vanilla Ice, and the highwaisted, wide-legged pants on a tiny gymnast or beefier athlete? Jerrell, Kenley, Daniel, Keith, Jennifer and Kelli completely missed the function of the garments they were supposed to be designing. I am laughing just thinking about several hundred athletic women all dressed alike in any of those parading around an Olympic track. Stella and Blayne briefly nodded at the athletic element and the patriotic element and then ran off and did their thing. White pink and turquoise? Seriously? Who am I missing? Leeann--almost worked, but the shorts weren't enough and the execution overall was under par. |
