S16.E07: The Ultimate Faceoff

The designers must use men's fabrics and designs to create a fashion forward look for their female models, and they must work in teams to do it.

Oh how did I ever guess that the Claire and the Lawn would end up together!

They get 'snippy'. Ha, a pun! 

[threebluestars]

I hope Shawn goes, because I actually want to see what Claire could make without having her sister there. She's definitely the stronger of the two, and I think she might do much better on her own.

I thought Claire looked really nice without the garish lipstick earlier in the episode. Just a lot more relatable and less pretentious.

[Mindthinkr]

The dress that the Twin  put on her model had poor fit in the bosom area. It made her left one very noticeable and hid her right one. Was not a fan of either of their looks but at least the model wearing the dress was happy with it. 

[chitowngirl]

Now Tim is designing for the twins?

Claire looks better with the looser ponytail.

Kentaro and Brandon's looks the same as last week's. 

The dresses look very JC Penney style, in a good way.

Man, I like Amy, but that thing she made is a needle-scratch.

What do you mean by needle scratch? (Like a scratch on a record when the needle is drug over it...or nails on a chalkboard?)

Scratch on a record.  As in, it's so dated and ugly compared to everything else, that I couldn't muster a reaction, personally.

But clearly the construction saved her derriere because, OH THANK YOU JESUS WE'RE LOSING ONE OF THE TWINS.

When designers team up to make men's fabrics into women's looks, who cocks it all up?

Oh fuck off, Project Runway. We have to wait until next week to see which of the insufferable two has to go home??

[enoughcats]

My husband watched eighteen minutes for the first time this season, and it was the 18 minutes at the beginning of the third half hour.  His comment "They are arrogant and stupid" I asked who, he pointed to the twins.  Boyo, it didn't take him long, did it?

[Straycat80]

I like Kenya and Amy but that powder blue jacket top was horrendous. And that gray top was a blast from the past, 90's I think. Awful! They lucked out not being auf'ed. 

I'm not a dress person but Margarita's dress was cute. Not surprised she won, all the judges loved it, and it does look like something Penney's sell.

All Heidi had to do was ask Tim who does the most work when it comes to the twins. What bullshit! Now we have to be tortured watching them not helping each other and probably melting down because they won't be able to do any work without each other. This is what this show has become, useless drama instead of serious fashion designing. 

[I-Kare]

I really liked Margarita's dress and was happy it won, but I was a little confused about the guest judge's comments about it being hard to produce in a range of sizes. I'm 47 and that style of dress was popular when I was just starting in the work force. I wore dresses very similar when I was an 18-20 and believe me, they were mass produced.

[NorthstarATL]

Now THAT is how you milk the twin drama for all it's worth! I saw the bottom two thing as a possibility, but not the individual head-to-head challenge! Whoever thought that up ought to get scooped up by the Government for enhanced interrogation work! OK, just kidding, but that was kind of evil genius.

 Kintaro/Brandon made what I thought they'd make, but they are cute working together, and they do what they do well. Kintaro's model from last week, Meisha?, sold her look this week as well as she did last week. I'm not saying that the win was ALL her, but she helped. Good for Margarita. (She's from Puerto Rico, IIRC....I wonder if what happened over there affected her time on the show, or was it all done by then?)

[Nidratime]

I based Kenya and Amy's save on what they've produced in the past. Apart. The twins have never been strong and even when they were safe or in the top, no one knew which of them did what.

With our luck they will turn it into a non elimination  and we will be stuck with both for another week.

Kintaro, I'd like to see a little more of. Brandon, with his long fabric streamers, I'm getting tired of. Wouldn't mind seeing him evolve or exit.

[cyberfruit]

Margarita won that challenge fair and square, and she carried Batani along. Other than that gorgeous merlot color, there was nothing interesting about her double-breasted junior's style dress. 

Kentaro and Brandon clearly get one another and their clothing was great, but I didn't really think that it was fashion. Their outfits looked more like a well-tailored look that the models picked out from various stores. Like, a little Zara here, some UO here, throw on strappy sandals rather than a pair of Nike Juvenate and you've got what they're wearing.

God forbid Tim use his save. I'd have to quit this show.

I liked the winning looks. I thought both Margarita and Batani's dresses were cute. Brandon and Kentaro's athleisure looks were good in that it gave the customer several pieces to choose from, but I thought it was a little loose on the menswear challenge. I guess the cutoff sweatshirt and the white thermal leggings had a "borrowed from the boys" aspect, but that's about it 

Kenya and Amy got lucky this week. The powder blue suit's collar and overall design was ugly. At least the skirt and tied top looked professional, however boring and not "fashion"

Glad the twins are finally in the bottom. Wow, 1 hour is tough for anyone to create anything. The twins will explode from the pressure. I hope Claire stays and Shaun leaves. 

[notcreative enough]

Yes! A twin is going home. Way to stretch the drama for another episode.(eye roll)

I'm torn Claire obviously has the skills so she should continue but at the same time I want to see Shawn fall on her face without any back up. 

If they aren't even going to take the judges criticism or Tim's advice what is the point of being on the show. They are just so full of themselves.

Aw Brandon and Kintaro are just too cute together. Trying to be diplomatic about who should win.

Amy and Kenya not good but glad they are both safe. 

After last week I just don't like Margarita anymore. Her dress was good but I just can't get past her horrible behavior.

He better save it for someone who doesn't drive the workroom or us viewers nuts! Not a twin. 

[hisbunkie]

I'm told, and think of myself as a lovely aging woman. I'm kind and respectful. Having said that, if I were working with those twins I'd have to kick their ass.  Not important which one of the two. 

[BloggerAloud]

I legit have no doubt that the moment the twins were cast, the producers have been waiting for this precise moment to set the twins up in a head-to-head competition. All I want is the eye-roll of Kenya while she was listening to the twins talk after their critique.

[pheebs]

ClaireHair says that the sew-off to the death with her womb-mate will be "a torturesome feeling."

Much like your continued presence on our screens.

Kenya's eyerolls are everything...

Please baby cheesus, don't let this happen.   But I'm worried about it too.  I thought maybe it was going to be Kenya and Tim would save her which I would have been ok with.  Just to watch her eye roll another day.

I would buy the heck out of either of Kentaro's or Brandon's plaid jacket hoodie situations.

...yes, all they had to do was ask Tim, but this is drama for the sake of drama that I can get behind. I hope that those entitled, talentless twins both go down in flames. The way they were acting like no one else understands what it is like to be criticized. They are insufferable. I'm surprised one of the other designers hasn't straight up smacked them by now -- or at least given them a severe verbal beat down. 

I loved Zac slamming their brand. How in the hell did they get on the show in the first place?

Zac shit so hard on the twins' designs, it was amazing. He wasn't trying to be one bit kind and I am here for it.

[Bebecat]

I got tired of Margarita and her whining a while back and really lost interest in her tonight. Her dress was good but not that amazing, good grief. Nothing that special about it. And I am not sure it would women with large chests, seems like it would gap oddly off-center.

None of the looks did much for me really.

If Tim saves a twin then he loses all of my years of love and respect.

The twins are so weak, I don't know how they should've gained the audience of this show. The show is not doing fashion any favor, if they did it for any other reason than the belief in their talent.

[Maya]

Kenya seems like a lovely person, but I question her taste at this point. The last three weeks she has sent some vile things down the runway IMO. 

I think the twins won't even finish the challenge. I think they'll leave together voluntarily.

I would be perfectly happy with that!

[njbchlover]

This sew-off thing is ridiculous, and just a way to hang on to the drama!  I would not be surprised next week if they both go home because neither will be able to finish a total garment in one hour without helping the other.  Or, one will win and the other will feel she needs to support her twin by going home with her, so she will bow out - respectfully...gracefully....tastefully....in solidarity...togetherness....twinnieness.....indeed.

[Rancide]

During the judges' confab when they were talking about not being able to tell who did what or being able to disentangle the two of them and then said "I think we know what we have to do," I deluded myself for the three glorious minutes of the commercial break that we were going to get rid of both of them.  Both.  Not neither.  BOOOOO.  

Oh, well, at least I know to tune in a few minutes late next week.

My love for Zac went through the roof with his not having any of the twin's shit.

Indeed, the Empresses have no clothes!

[TVFAN]

Count me out of watching next week's episode!  Do the producers really think people want to watch one more minute of the twins?????????  I can't imagine anything I want to watch less than the two of them carrying on.

I've always liked Kenya, but I also like Amy, so I was slightly perturbed with Kenya when the judges asked that same old stupid question about who should go home.  She basically threw Amy under the bus, especially after Amy said she would take the aufing for the team. 

For the record, I HATE that question, and think it is extremely shitty of the judges to EVER ask it (because they are looking to see who will throw whom under the bus, for drama's sake), but when it is asked, I think it is more diplomatic to throw it back to the judges~~ who have probably already made up their minds who will go home.

[lyric]

I dunno guys - I don't see the Tim Save happening.  He seems to hate them as much as Zac does.  Next week is Cheatgate...yassss!  Interesting - many of us thought it would involve the twins, based on previews, but clearly they won't both be there to cheat together.

Amy's been pretty solid up until tonight, but dear God was that hideous - shockingly awful.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Ha, ha, ha! Claire monologuing to Michael... then realizing he's left the room.  

[dgpolo]

And wasn't her monologue about people ripping off designs from others? I thought that was pretty funny considering last week she and her sister both did some of that. I also thought that maybe it was a bit of foreshadowing but it didn't turn out that way, at least for this week.

[Beaner]

I couldn't really get a handle on the friction between Kenya and Amy. They both seem creative and mature with a lot in common, so why was there so much tension? I always rooted for them, but I don't know...I felt a nasty vibe...and didn't like how Kenya threw Amy under the bus on the runway.

And didn't Shawn ask Kentaro if she could copy the Jean leggings he did the week before? The twins trash everyone in their TH's , it's ironic especially when they end up in the bottom.

I didn't get that either.  I was baffled they created those horrible looks . How could they have been so off.

I loved Kentaro's look and was bummed he didn't win.  I would have bought it in a heartbeat.

Shawn to Claire: "Let's just--zen. Let's not think of anyone else as being here."

Implying that they ordinarily behave as if aware of anyone else.

I am not sure the drama next is not about the twins.
