"PR 5, ep 9" |
Reminder that there will be spoiler information in this post, so if you're one of our peeps from up north, and won't get to see this episode for, what? 2 months? Eek!, and don't want to know what has happened until the show airs in your area, please don't read any further. "What's your sign?" No, they're not designing leisure suits from white polyester. Or am I the only one who thought 70's disco when seeing the title of the episode? So, we open with our traditional recap, seeing the designers wake up and express how much they miss the most recently auf'd designer (or not *stares at Terri*), and then have Heidi ask the most recent winner if he/she wants to switch models. Once again, Leanne chooses to stay with her original model. For this challenge, Heidi has some special guests all of the previously eliminated designers walk out onto the runway. But no, this is not a chance for any of the aufd to come back. They will all be teamed with one of the designers still in the running to help inspire/create an avante garde look. Once they are in the work room with Tim, he announces that the look is to be based on the astrological sign of one of the team members. Tim points out that the designers are lined up based on birthdates, and proceeds to draw names of the elims from a bag to assign teams. The teams (and signs) are as follows, with the bolded sign being the one chosen as inspiration: Suede/Jerry Sagittarius /Libra Jerrel/Jennifer Sagittarius/Taurus Terri/Keith - Sagittarius/Leo Korto/Kelli - Aquarius/Cancer Blayne/Stella Libra/Scorpio Kenley/Wesley Aquarius/Scorpio Joe/Daniel Aries/Sagittarius Leanne/Emily Libra/Scorpio They have two days for the challenge, and $250 budget. I must apologize once again for not being able to include some of the work room snark, as I continue to have issues with my cable and the volume on this show. Its as if someone keeps pressing the mute button throughout the show. *looks suspiciously at the cat* There was lots of drama between Terri and Keith this was not a good team. Also bits of snark from Leanne and Kenley directed at each other. In the morning of the second work day, they find a note from Heidi in the work room, informing that they are invited to show their designs at a party that night, at 8:00. The note also lets them know that 2 designers will be going home after this challenge. Tim announces that there will be no immunity awarded for this challenge, nor any of the remaining challenges. The special guests at the party are several designers from previous seasons Daniel Vosovic, Christian Siriano, Kara Janx, Jay McCarroll, Allison Kelly, Carmen Weber, Robert Plotkin and they will be deciding who the winner of the challenge is. The winner will not be announced until after the runway show the next day. On to the runway judges are Heidi, Micheal, Nina, and Francisco Costa, Womens Creative Director for Calvin Klein. Blayne:
Kenley:
Terri:
Korto:
Joe:
Jerrel:
Leanne:
Suede:
The following are told to step forward: Korto, Jerrel, Leanne, Joe. One of these is the winner, but they will have to wait. The remaining teams are in the bottom four. I missed half of the comments made at this time, because my son came in and started talking, and I tried to listen to both him and the tv, and basically comprehended nothing. I did get the comments on Blayne haphazard, costume-y, pooping fabric and Terri voodoo princess in hell, overall cheap. And the winner is
Jerrel! Kenley is in. Terri looked poorly made, lacked taste, Blayne we asked for avante garde, this is a joke, Suede safe, boring. Blayne is out. He is baffled. Suede is in, so Terri is out.

1. "RE: PR 5, ep 9" |
LAST EDITED ON 09-11-08 AT 01:57 AM (EST)Blayne: Doomed from the start. First of all, he missed the memo on Libra...it's balanced scales, and he has no balance. It was just an S&M half-mess, one of PR's true disasters. Props to Stella for her almost maternal protection of Blayne and his general maturity throughout (he was very young, but he behaved very well) Kenley: Fugly. Fugly. Fugly. And cheers to Wesley for shutting up about it. That was one horrid dress to go with a bad attitude this week. Very Alice in Wonderland and, oddly enough, I feel that I've seen it before. She could have gone home, no problem Terri: A bad Halloween costume to meet an even worse attitude. I don't like Keith and his mopey self, but she treated him like dog ##### this entire challenge, and when he offered to help, she refused. Good riddance to a bad attitude, and I think the judges made a decision beyond the outfits this week. Korto: Wasn't a huge fan, but some sympathy for having to go solo for a while due to Kelli's illness. The dress made her curvy model look positively chubby, maybe even flat out fat. The picture is totally unflattering, although I'm glad she's safe. Joe: This is what Daniel should have done for Annida Greenkard. Either way, it was a very hot outfit, even if a little reserved on the AG scale, and it was clearly directed by Daniel as opposed to Joe. Either way, good work Jerrel: I didn't get it at the party or on the runway, but the more I look at the picture, the more I like it. I don't think he should have won, but I am very happy he did and I hope to see more from him. Leanne: Hot. Hot. Hot. It was a bit of a rehash from Leanne, combining the grate skirt and the "green" dress for Team Ugly Brown Fabric, but it turned out fantastic. I love her choice of colors. I think, as does Tim, that this should have been her three-peat. (ETA: My TV-swooning for her increased by discovering she is a Libra, much like myself) Suede: I liked it more than Korto if we're comparing similar outfits, but it wasn't that good. He and Jerry didn't get along either, so he deserves some applause for cooling that potential arrogance down to a manageable level 1. Leanne 2. Joe 3. Jerrel 4. Suede 5. Korto 6. Terri 7. Kenley 8. Blayne Still sent the right two people home, Terri was a witch.

LAST EDITED ON 09-12-08 AT 09:18 PM (EST)Good riddance to a bad attitude, and I think the judges made a decision beyond the outfits this week. Was not loving Terri this episode. They were supposed to work together and she was not allowing it. Then she tried to blame it on Keith when he had no input whatsoever other than his sign! I really loved what Joe and Daniel did most of any of them. Did not like the skirt on Jerrel's design at all, it reminded me of an old car. Leanne keeps coming on strong, good for her! Kind of sad to see Blayne go. He was good for a laugh. Kenley needs to check the ego at the door and control her bratty reactions to any criticism. Anybody find any Fashion Week spoilers?
 Nicely Sliced!

3. "RE: PR 5, ep 9" |
Thank you for getting this up so quickly, Arkie.Blayne: I love the comment "She looks like she's pooping fabric." It was simply awful. I don't know why he thought being imbalanced would indicate Libra. The picture makes it look better than it was on the runway. He deserved to go, even though he was fun sometimes. Kenley: I think she thought she could just defend her design every week and get away with it. I wish they had kicked her out, because I think her design was far worse than Terri's design, but the judges are keeping her around for some reason. Totally non matching top and bottom that looks weird. Terri: The red wrap killed it. Other than that, it looks like a design for a Renaissance Faire. Korto: I loved her use of color and the drape of the fabrics. She did a good job of denoting Aquarian tastes. Joe: This outfit works very well. I like it. I agree that it looks like Daniel had a strong influence. Jerrell: I am like Tim Gunn, and don't like the skirt much. It was not the winner in my mind, but the previous PR contestants must have seen something I didn't see. Leanne: Foxy and pretty. I think her model looks really happy, too. I would have preferred a Leanne win, but she is still doing okay. Suede: Not avant garde - in that I agree with the Judges, but I don't think it was that bad. I wondered how he got the material to kind of float in the back. Goodbye Terri and Blayne. I will miss you two.

4. "RE: PR 5, ep 9" |
It's not very often that there is an episode with clothing that is made from actual fabric that I think every outfit is atrocious. Jerrell's model's pose just KILLED that outfit for me. Blech.Blayne was an idiot...HOW can anyone look at that and think 'high fashion'? It looked like a spoof of an Ice Capades costume. How was he baffled to be eliminated? And why on earth did Kenley keep saying, "Why, why?" when he broke the news...damn. Terry's garb looked like it would be perfect for the wicked queen in Snow White. VEEEEERY seventies and disco ugly. I'm also not sorry to see her and her attitude go. Kenley's dress was a nightmare--well crafted, but a joke. As soon as I saw the full-front view I thought, "Minnie Mouse" and it was all over for me. Those sleeves just kept looking more and more like ears.
 --I like Joe....can't help it. I liked his dress better than most of them...or hated it less, I suppose.

Blayne-you wear me out....you needed to go.Kenley-what in the world? Aquarius? I think water, not purple plaid and flowers!!! Sorry, I would have given you a boot. *Do you think she's going to last much longer giving crap back to the judges???? Terri-it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Not pretty or anything. I am shocked that she's gone, I expected her to last probably to the finale. Korto-kinda nice, I don't get the dark pieces at the top though. Poor Korto, always the bridesmaid, never the bride!!!! Joe-you're back!!! Thank goodness. Jerrell-I would have never chosen you for the win....sorry, I didn't get it at all! Leanne-reminded me of that loopy atrocity from a few weeks back. I didn't get it. Cute shoes however! Suede-Aquariaqueen says you're boring and full of yourself. Aquariaqueen also thinks that you need to quit talking like a two year old. 2 year olds speak in third person. Is it too obvious that I like Korto? Shocked Terri is gone. Didn't like having the auf'd contestants back, they really didn't offer much besides bitterness. Well, there were a few who seemed to enjoy being back.

6. "RE: PR 5, ep 9" |
Yes, thanks for the quick post, and pics as well.What a night! IMO, Blayne and Stella could have just blown up balloons and stuck them on that side of the model and called it a day. Put her in some long undies, wrap some 'letha' around her, and there ya go! What a travesty to all designers everywhere! Stella? GET A CLUE!! Blayne-on to the tanning booth now. I was really surprised, too, that Jerrel won. I saw nothing good, unusual, extreme or 'fashion forward' about that. If I saw that on a rack at Dillards, I'd pass it by. I guess that's because I shop at Dillards and not D&G. They don't have those where I live... Joe-should have won! Don't understand why he is constantly being overlooked. I have a feeling, but I won't express it here, because it could be taken the wrong way. But I loved his colors, his interpretation, and felt he and Daniel did a great job. Loved that Daniel came back with a good attitude, and worked well with Joe! Didn't realize that Kelli was ill during this episode. But I was looking through a shoe catalog during parts of it, go guess I missed that. Doesn't matter. Korto's colors were nice, but the model looked like she was pregnant. I'm surprised Korto didn't get called out for that! Again, I think the judges have their faves already. Terri-SOOOOO glad she is out! She was getting on my last nerve! I don't care what she had made, it would NOT have been good enough after the way she treated Keith. And her entire attitude towards the other contestants was just incomprehensable throughout this entire show. WITCH WITCH WITCH!! Good riddance!! I have nothing else to say about the other designers. It was good to see Christian back. But I wonder why Jeff is never asked or never accepts, if he IS asked?? It's almost like he is the wayward child that PR wants to forget about. Oh well. That's all I have to say.

Color me shocked at Terri's boot. Blayne's monstrosity was an obvious choice, but what about Kenley's??? There was absolutely no cohesiveness to her design -- mismatched fabics and patterns does not an AG look make. It also had absolutely nothing to do with the goals of the challenge. What about this look hinted at Aquarius?? Mickey Mouse indeed....Terri was sure no Ms. Congeniality, but I thought her looks and workmanship were consistently strong, much stronger overall than Suede, Kenley, and Jerrel, who are still standing. This week's look was not one of her stronger showings, but I still thought she should have outlasted at least Kenley. Suede's design was pretty bad, but it looks better in the photo than it did on the runway, and with the light blue what ever they were (wrap, extra sleeves, ??), you could at least see some connection to the scales of libra in his completed outfit. He's neck and neck with Kenley for the next boot IMHO. Jerrel's look also didn't do it for me. His model almost looked deformed in the high-waisted skirt. It didn't call to mind Saggitarius to me at all, but the jacket was kind of interesting. Korto's look definitely called to mind Aquarius with its color palate, but I think that we've seen this same design (halter neckline, empire waist, full skirt) from Korto a few times already. Not bad, but not avante garde. Joe's dress was stunning, and definitely called to mind firey Aries, but again, I don't think that it pushed any fashion boundaries and was not really AG. I thought Leanne should have won this. What made her dress different was the black overlaying "hood/cowl", which also called to mind Scorpio's raised stinger. Great work from her again this week. I will be disappointed in the extreme if she does not make it to finals.

10. "RE: PR 5, ep 9 BOO!" |
This was a weak episode, and I didn't really like any of the outfits. The prettier ones weren't avant-garde, the more avant-garde outfits were unattractive. Leeanne had the best mix, so I think she should have won.Blayne definitely should have gone. Poor decision to do a double elimination. That should have been done with 10 or more contestants left. I actually thought Terri had one of the most attractive outfits, and her boot seemed like a total setup, like the blonde girl last year who was always good and never got any credit, then she was suddenly dumped. Terri was always good, never got much recognition, and now she's gone. So that sucks, but is not unusual on this show. If there is a final four, it would have to be Leeanne, Korto, Kenley and Joe. Suede and Jerrell are both weak, and I can't believe Jerrell is still around, much less having won. I think Korto has been over-praised. She is one-note and I haven't liked most of her outfits. But she seems a lock for Bryant Park. Leeanne, obviously, deserves to win this season but I wonder if she will, since she doesn't have much personality. The third could be Joe (because he has gotten a more positive edit) or Kenley (who is more talented than Korto or Joe,but has gotten a negative edit so she won't win for sure).

12. "RE: PR 5, ep 9" |
Good grief, there was a whole lot of fugly going on this week! In fact, I think this was the first time I've actually hated everything that went down the runway.Blayne: Oh yeah, you deserved to go. Avant Guard? Hardly. It was a strange dominatrix-meets-grandmas-lingerie-drawer-meets talentless-craft-student. And what does this have to do with a Libra? Kenley: Um.... well... Ok, so you chose a water bearing sign. Easy as water off a ducks back right? Wrong. You chose puffy sleeves that even Queen Victoria would have never worn, and a black bustier that smashes boobs and makes them look like they sag to the ground, and a big ole bubble skirt that no one would look good in. And then you made sure to choose fabric that looked like bad upholstery. You argued with the judges about your design when they questioned where in the world that dress said "Aquarius." You should have said - Aquarius is the water bearer right? What do you think those big sleeves and bubble skirt are there for? In my opinion, you should have gone home. You. Lucked. Out. Jerrel: Congratulations. You lucked out too. Where to begin... Well, maybe it is the way the model is standing, but that high waist reminiscent of Steve Urkel makes your anorexic twig model look FAT. Then there is that shiney jacket to go with the tweed skirt. And to top it off, you stuck an arrow on her head reminiscent of Steve Martin when he hosted the first time on SNL. What were the judges thinking?! Suade: Sigh. This looks like something you picked up at Kohls and then stuck stuff on the shoulders to look like the Libra scales. It wasn't Avant Guard. It wasn't even mainstream. It was just boring. However, there was so much other fugly that was far more fugly that you lucked out too. Terrie: Your dress really wasn't all that bad, but I really couldn't see the Leo in it. The faux fur was a bad idea, but you fixed it. Like another poster said, it would have worked at a Ren Faire, but it missed the mark for astrology. What killed you was your attitude. I agree that Kieth was a waste of skin and oxegen, and his petulance was annoying, but you DO micromanage your teammates, we have all seen it. Bravo judges for not letting yet another ego toss their collaborator under the bus for their own bad judgment. (and can we PLEASE take that particular phrase and toss it on the never to be used cliche pile?) Leanne: Of all the designs, yours is arguably the most wearable. It's not my taste, but I can see the Scorpio in it and I love the exoskeleton over the soft red dress. I cant really say avant guard though, because there was something so familiar about it. I'm not sure why, but I felt as though I'd seen that design before. Koroto and Joe: Of everyone, you two had the clearest vision of your signs - which makes sense since they were water and fire. IMO you had the easiest signs to translate, and you did it well. The problem with both of them is that they were not avant guard. Koroto did a flowing gown, Joe did a flamenco dancer. Hardly innovative - but they did manage to actually address the challenge. IMO, any of these people deserved to go last night, but Kenley needs to go soon. Her attitude is just as bad as Terrie's, although she doesn't blame others for her mistakes. But really, if you have to stand there and constantly spend most of your time explaining/defending your designs to the judges, then you need to get a clue that you are not "all that" of a designer.

LAST EDITED ON 09-14-08 AT 10:41 PM (EST)With that mess, Blayne needed to go. Not only did half of her looks wrapped in shower scrubs, she looked like she was wearing a thin diaper. Poor girl. Kenley? I wouldn't be caught dead at a Halloween party in that get up. Terri: Not great but I didn't think this was as bad as Kenley's. Edited to add - I agree with everyone else that Terri's attitude svcked big time and may have influenced the decision - if it did, she deserved to go. Korta: Nice. She seems to hit something right every time. Joe: Actually looked pretty good. Jerrel: No way this was the winner - no way. Leanne: good again. Suede: looked good to me. sure better than Kenley and Jerrel. Slicey took out the wrinkles '08
