Char, one of the few designers I like, said (in so many words) "Don't hate the player, hate the game." Maybe Sandhya is/was offputting to Hernan, but he's not exactly a sympathetic character either. I was glad he was one of the earliest contestants to go home. His ego is much bigger than his talent.

This exactly. I, too, didn't think that Kini over thought giving Sandhya the money. He seems to be a nice person in general and seemed more concerned with what he was making. That's how all the designers should feel. So many of them gripe about every little thing. I'd hate to see them on a daily basis, away from the show, trying to get their work done.

Even MasterChef's Courtney (the "aerial dancer") looked at Mitchell's shoe choice and thought "Girl. What are you doing?" I still say that a lot of the designers weren't paying attention. They could have guessed at the right color had they been paying attention to the Heidi lookbooks that Tim provided. If they still can't figure it out, then maybe it's their time to go home. Each designer can remain true to his or her POV while keeping in mind that there are certain colors and cuts that Heidi is partial to and when designers eschew the evidence and go with what they want her to wear because it's something they'd like to wear, then it defeats the purpose. Leighdear actually did the best job of breaking down what appeals to Heidi.

I understand the need for fashion designers and other creative types to have a distinctive POV. However, as a consumer, I'm worried more about my own aesthetic and whether they cater to it. If these designers want to spend their free time making clothes that they love to wear, then fine. Don't go into design as a career. Do it as a hobby. It boggles the mind that several of these designers don't seem to understand they're supposed to be designing with others in mind. They all got books of Heidi wearing various outfits, yet some of them thought of themselves and how they want to dress Heidi. They weren't considering what Heidi would actually wear because she understands her own POV. This is why I'm kind of surprised that they were allowed a second chance. If they had been good designers worth their salt, then they would have chosen correctly the first time.

I feel guilty saying that because there are very few people who leave no impression on me. The sad part is that these people are on TV and nope, no impression. Even being on TV doesn't burn them into my mind. That's pretty bad. Don't they hire people with some degree of charisma or drama? Neither Samantha nor Christine is charismatic and they're not dramatic in any way.

From what Tim said, it was my understanding that the contestants who chose to stay behind wouldn't get to keep their money and could choose to give it to another designer who needed it. Sandhya asked three others for their $100 and they willingly gave it up. They were more concerned with working on what they already had. On one hand, it might be strategic, since she won two challenges. On the other hand, maybe they like her enough over the others that they preferred giving her their $100. The designers who chose not to return to Mood could easily have given their $100 to Mitchell, Korina, whomever, but they didn't. I'm guessing the designers have a better idea than I do about who is and isn't on the level there. I actually agree with Emily that the others should not have been given a second chance to buy more material. Concentrate on what you have and fix it. Like Tim's always saying "Make it work."

I'm not a fan of fringe, but Sean's dress was one of the best of the worst. This episode was full of bleh, but I did like Kini's. I had expected Heidi would criticize Kini's look for being "too mature" in her eyes, so I was pleasantly surprised when she praised his dress. I wasn't surprised that Zac loved it. I'm glad to see that I'm in good company in wondering why there wasn't a triple elimination which included Korina. I love green, but her greens were not red carpet appropriate. Even if designing red carpet looks isn't her bag, how could she not know those shades would be unflattering given the event? I'm a bit scared that she's a trained designer who can't discern between shades of green. How does she not know what emerald green looks like? Duh. Mitchell was far from one of my favorites. He was the "mean girl" in the first episode and lost respect from me, but he wasn't as awful in subsequent episodes. Having said that, it was his time to go home because his dress was hideous. StanleyK: I thought the nude platform heels were awful too. What was Mitchell thinking? I disagree with Heidi that red dresses look great on the red carpet. See, I wouldn't wear a red dress to a red carpet event because I wouldn't want to blend in with the carpet. I'm rarely wow'ed by red dresses on the red carpet, so she can stuff it. I have no idea why, but I kept confusing Christine and Samantha. Neither one has made an impression on me, so I'm not devastated Christine was sent packing. I'm waiting with bated breath for Amanda to get the boot. Her POV is awful and she's smug. I suspect she'll end up on the chopping block and Tim will use his save to keep her in the competition. At that point, I will break my TV set.

YES! You made my day.

I agree. Every time I see his face onscreen, I feel dirty and creeped out.

Bring Janice back! "I'm sorry, but it looks like she has a penis." Tyra doesn't always wear clothing that flatters her.

I'm rooting for them too. Mostly because I don't like the others at all.Adam reminds me of a more obnoxious male version of Megg. "ROCK 'N' ROLL!" Those episodes will never get old. Alexandra fell twice. Once down the marble stairs and then she was knocked off the runway by the pendulum. "The first time I fell . . ."

That's actually a pretty good idea. I like Graham, but he's a sweetheart. How about Joe and GorDAHN?

Adam's face looks a little too bloated and his eyes look a little too close together as a result. Kelly was onto something when she mentioned that she wouldn't want her daughter bringing home a guy like Adam and she sensed "there's something wrong with him." http://www.queerty.com/americas-next-top-model-casts-homophobic-emorty-student-with-violent-anti-gay-past-20140222/ Apparently, he has a questionable past that involves being violent and anti-gay,

I'm still thinking about that fantasy judging panel consisting of Tyra, Janice, Miss J, and Gordon Ramsey. Out of all four judges, Tyra probably would be the kindest and that's not saying much.

"Thank you, Chef." - Wow. Maybe I can cook?

In some ways, it feels sadistic on Tyra's part. Maybe that's not the word I'm looking for? Meh.

This week, no naked Gordon, but a shot of the blue Speedos near the end. Next week we get another Gordon pool shot. Hopefully the parents don't buy their daughters any more buildings. What a waste of money.

Hahahaha. "Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow."

I like the way you think. ;) Pissed off Gordon to fringey dress designer: "C'mere you."

I might be alone in this idea, but I would flip if, say, Gordon Ramsey was a guest judge on PR. He has nothing to do with fashion, but he's not afraid to make his mind known. A PR episode with Ramseyisms in it. Again, I might be alone here. Gordon, upon seeing a fringey garment: "Oh. F**k me."

I'm looking forward to Miss J's return. I hope the runway challenge/teach episode is back. Someone always falls. I really, really, really enjoy it when someone falls. Like Alexandra who fell not once, but twice.

Talent wise, I think they're about the same. Sandro made what looked like hooker wear. Unlike Hernan, I wondered if Sandro was four sandwiches short of a picnic. Hernan was bitchy, but didn't give me the crazy vibe.

Kini turns out an awesome outfit that didn't take him the entire time to finish and he was proud of it. He reminds me of Shan from UTG. Shan would finish early and help out other designers and clean the workroom. I had hoped Kini would win. I don't get the judges. Everything has been done before. Fashion is reinvention with a contemporary twist. I like that Zac brought up that Amanda's style is nothing new either. Amanda used the entire time to make that fringe dress, which was lackluster and she's already done fringe. Kini's dress looked as if he used all the time, as where Amanda looked as if she threw hers together in the last two hours.

I follow Jack on Twitter and he cracks me up all the time. He's even favorited a bunch of my tweets. Anyway, I remember he left the competition and I agree that it sucks he didn't get another chance.

In the episode where the judges talked about how they started out in their careers, Nina mentioned getting coffee, etc. My parents watched that episode and when Nina said that, my dad replied "She should go back to getting coffee." I don't know why he said that, but something about Nina must have rubbed him the wrong way.
