WHY IS RICKY STILL THERE!? I do not get it, seriously, it's not even like he brings really good drama or makes for really good TV. How can straight guy and Kit be gone before him?? It's a travesty.
At the end of the show it has a disclaimer about how the Producers opinions also play a role in the judging and I think that is what is wrong with this season BIG TIME! Leave the judging to the 'professionals' (although the Victorya Prom Dress win is waaaay questionable) and let's keep the judgement about the actual clothes. This is getting ridiculous.

I'm so bummed that Kit is gone. I was really hoping she would go to the end. But the avant garde dress was her design and it really wasn't avant garde... But I think if she had a different partner that wasn't a crying mesh-hat-wearing pile of suck, she might have been inspired in a better way. Love love love the "whisper twins." As always, Flipit, your recaps are the best!

Oh, and this relates to last week's episode, but I so did NOT figure out that the people in Chris' portfolio were actually Chris!

Flipit, I would rather read your recaps than watch the actual shows. "Bed-head Nina" "flicks it at him" will be cracking me up all day!
You "rock MY world"!

Ricky needs to get the hell off of my tv. NOW. I could create better designs and I would have flunked home ec if my daddy hadn't sewn my moon mobile for me. That Kit Pistol (still the best designer name evah) got auffed before him makes my Irish blood boil.

For the record: I would totally wear the "white trash prom dress." Suck it.

Go Christian! I hope my bitchy little queen goes all. the. way.

Oh, and flip: I have a huge phobia of untalented, whiny, little freaks in mesh hats.

Put me in your next recap!!

xoxo

Yay for my boys win! I was super excited when they got paired together. *LOVE*

Things I'm not excited about: How many good designers have to go before they boot Ricky? He hasn't done SHIT this season... It is terrible TERRIBLE... a travesty even.

I think they aufed Kit over him this week is because she is too Rock and Roll and that's what the guy who won last year was kind of known for. At least that's my theory.

That white trash prom dress was fug and I thought the "riding" outfit under the trench coat was blah!

So sick of Rami. I wouldn't have minded if they booted him. Design something new once!

Agree & disagree with you, tvkitty -- I liked Kit, but I don't think she is as good a designer as whatshisname-tree-trunk-neck guy from last season though I think he's a total ass!!

SO sick of Rami too & I really didn't like VictorYA's "riding" outfit either. And why did she want to be team leader so bad anyway - bitch had immunity – it’s Jillian’s ass on the line, not yours! She's such a control freak like Rami – I would LOVE to see them paired up – muwahaha!

Go Chris & Christian!! Loved their dress & the everyday top was really cute. And I was really hoping to see Mean P come out in this episode too - I remember her saying something about hoping they didn't get into a fist fight (LOL). By the by, I think she could definitely kick Rami's toga-making butt!

As for Ricky - GO HOME ALREADY!! There's no way you're gonna win and I'm so sick of seeing his crybaby face in the bottom every week but nevertheless saved...ugh!

Flipit, yo tango uno loca chica!!! Great pictures to go with the recap, you had me crying!! What is avant guard anyway and why the hell is Ricky still there?? I agree he has to be doing someone to stay on the show. Kit made one lousy dress and they threw her off, Ricky has made an ugly dress EVERY challenge and he is still there, what's up with that??? I love Christian, Sweet P and Chris, I want to smack the whisper twins and now you have me yelling VictorYa every time I see her.... Thanks for the quick and great recap. You da man.....

I can't really argue with Kit losing this one, her dress did kinda suck. I will agree with others though she might have sucked less with a partner other than Ricky. I really cannot understand how he is staying in as others get kicked off. He must be better in bed than at a sewing table.

Ricky has been in the bottom almost every week how could Kit go before him? I can't believe what a little bitch Rami was.

At first I sort of understood why Rami would want to micromanage Sweet P a little because she does have a history of so-so outfits and time management issues. However, he was SUCH a bitch about it that I switched to her side. Plus, how many times is he going to make the same friggin dress? Oh but this time he put a corset in, so its "avant garde." Yeah. Whatever.

PS... Chris rules! Yay for Team Fierce!

Great recap! OMG - the Austin Scarlett caption - too funny! I absolutely LOVED the boys dress - it was like a piece of art walking down the runway! My second fav was definitely Sweet P's - I would've worn that in a heart beat

I kinda - actually flat-out hated Vicki/Jillian's designs, especially the every-day look - totally agree with Flipit - it looked like it was stuck in her butt-crack, or she sat in gum or something! I can't really figure out why, but I've just never liked anything Jillian has done, even though I know she is talented!

Lets play: Guess how is Ricky still on this show?

I have 2 guesses:

1. He is Nina's brother, cousin, or her favorite waiter at Don Pablos.

2. Two weeks ago Kors learned an important lesson: if Zac Posen offers you a blow job in the dark - make sure he isn't wearing a mesh cap and crying the whole time!

Great recap, Flipit! Loved, loved, loved Chris + Chris! (I don't even care if Christian says "fierce" all the time, because I assume it's at least a bit ironic. Unlike, say, when Tyra uses it. *bleh*)

So overall, I loved this episode, even though, on principle, I think Team challenges suck & are unfair, because, I mean, do they EVER eliminate a non-leader? (I can't remember; all I'm able to recall now is Santino v. Daniel Franco in the lingerie showdown.)

So, there's a clip over at the Bravo site (I'd link, but don't think urls are allowed any more), which shows Kit in a bit of snit about, you know, how DARE, she be eliminated. Which would be OK & all, but she had the nerve to suggest that she shouldn't have to go before Chris, because Chris was eliminated before -- and so now I don't like her. Bye bye, Kit! The same clip also shows that Ricky is in his own private kind of hell, where he's in the bottom every week & not eliminated & everyone knows it & openly dismisses him. Judges, put him out of his misery; Free Ricky! Let him go! Pleeeeeeeeeeeassssssse.

O M G! Why the fug is Ricky still here. When I saw that fug mess walking down the runway I was leaping with joy because I figured either:
A) Rami the overconfident Animal House party costumer was going home.
B) Ricky the horrible hat wearing crier was going home.

Not that I loved Kit or anything but I mean... when it comes down to middle of the crowd vs. one trick pony and just plain suck, I think the whole body of work should be taken into account.

Still annoyed that straight guy went home. He reminded me of the 300 and all the fantasies that I'm sure Rami had about draping a toga around his cute behind.

Can I just repeat that I l-o-v-e Christian and Chris? I would love to see what Christian would do with a whole collection to make. He is one of the few people that I can see a consistent point of view from. Or maybe just a consistent hair style.

And as always Flipit dear you were wonderful. Keep up the GREAT work!

OMG OMG OMG you cured my phobia of dying without being mentioned in one of your recaps.

I love you!

The mannequin throwing up on Ricky was the greatest screengrab of all time.

I think they're keeping Ricky around so we can watch his "inevitable nervous breakdown," as Flipit pointed out in a previous recap. At least that would justify his staying! I was also disappointed to see Kit go, but I agree with what tvkitty said about her being too similar to Jeffrey.

Not much to add, as you've all covered it, but I AM sooooo over Rami, he just doesn't get how fug the toga look is, tho of the toga looks, it was better. Ricky probably s*ed and f*ed his way onto the show in the first place, never mind his continued being on--at least we can sing and dance and cheer the day he is finally aufed!!!!! (I also don't think they'd keep showing his moobs if someone wasn't telling them to, just too ew!!!! yeeeech! Spit!!!!) He's not good TV, he's not a good designer, we are all so over crying after Ambah, he's not a good seamstress nor a good dresser, and now that I think of it, was he in a hat in the moobs shot, are they glued to his head ala Cy Sperling!?

Love you Flipit! And loved Chris and Chris!!! A breath of fresh fierceness!

LOVED Jillians coat too!!!!! Just awesome--she's shown the most range in my eyes!

so, i'm sure that this is a fairly unpopular opinion, but i still really like rami and think that he's by far one of the most talented. i agree that he was being an ass to sweet p and that his look wasn't great, but i wasn't so surprised that he acted that way, given that sweet p's stuff usually kind of sucks. don't get me wrong, i like sweet p, but still. i was just looking at rami's collections on-line, however, and the vast majority of the clothes were not toga-y at all -- and were very nice. i guess he's just on a toga kick right now for some reason. hopefully he can switch it up enough to stick around.

is anyone with me on this??

no

I wanted Rami to go home because I am tired of seeing the same dress over and over.

My unpopular opinion this week:
I loved the white-trash prom dress by the whisper twins.

Flipit, you missed your calling in this life. Unless your actual day job is writing lovingly crafted, hilarious snark about shitty TV shows.

Kit was unfairly auf'd. Everybody knows it. According to today's EW interview, Kit said: "What you didn't see last night was more of the bantering on the runway. When they asked who should go home I said myself. I felt very frustrated the whole season because I wasn't getting any positive or negative attention from the judges.

The best way to communicate on the show is with the judges directly. That's where the learning curve comes. You see the designers on the runway doing a lot better with each challenge. I wasn't able to build that communication with the judges."

Flipit I have know you were a geinus from my very first post... and you lived up to it once again.

Rach, I heard it through the grapevine that Pegster has rented a clown and he may be running through the streets looking for you as we speak, you better get under the desk!

I loved the Chris/tain design and I cannot see a final with out Chris, Christain, and Jillian.
