Straight Guy just sends a bowling ball bag down the runway in a fug, badly sewn and ill fitting skirt. Yikes. Yay, bowling, though. Leatha's work looks good from afar, but I can't tell what's going on with the bottom half. She went with seat belts too, and sewed hers horizontally into a tight skirt. Then she used seat covers and backs for a what looks like a nicely tailored vest top. It's too shiny to tell, but I think I like it.

Group3-3

Terri, Pleather, Straight Guy, and Kenley are safe, leaving Leatha, Squircangle, CutToe, Blayne, Keith and Hobosexi on the runway. Jerell is first to be critiqued, and the editors throw in this shot.

Ouch


I think Jerell must bug the shit out of them, too. Rachel Zoe thinks it's amazing, Kors loves it, Heidi thinks it's exciting. HUH?!?!?!?! WTF? Blayne is next. Laura likes the idea of it, but Kors says it looks like a car wash. LOL. You owe me a coke, Kors! Heidi says that he broke mirror, which means seven years of no sex. HA. I'm sure that won't be a problem. Laura likes CutToe's jacket, Zoe would wear it, and Kors thinks it's restrained drama. Squirc is next, and Kors loves everything about it. Zoe is blown away and says Squirc is ready for Paris, and not just because she doesn't bathe more than once a week. Leatha's next and woops. They show a cloesup of the skirt and it's totally busted.

I thought the long strip down the center was a belt, but it's not. It's an uneven seam and it looks like crap. My bad! Looks great from far away. Like Kors!

Picture 8-45
See? From a distance he's just a tiny adorable thumb covered in peach jam.

Zoe thinks it's lacking, Laura doesn't think the top and bottom match, and Kors calls it random. Leatha thanks them. HA. Keith just says subtle and clean alot. Zoe makes the model turn around and wow. That's shit.

Keith blames the model for sitting down, which is hilarious because the tear was in the front and it's the back that's jacked. This guy is such a twat. Laura bypasses his excuses and says her problem is that there is no concept. He giggles that she should have seen his other stuff. Oh man. Dig that grave, a hole. She smiles a bitchy "excuse me?" HAHA. Go Laura! Keith goes on to whine about how he was so cutting edge last week but then his work was described as looking like a dowdy chicken and it's so haaard when you work so haaard and no one appreciates yoooou! WAAAAHHHH. "There's criticism, and there's insults." Heidi makes a look like "oh no he didn't" and Kors lectures him about being in the public eye and having a pair of balls instead of a vagina and says he's no one's mom and ain't no one gonna suck on his titty.

In alone time, the Judges talk about how impressed they are this week. Everyone loved Jerell's uneven, unflattering crap, and they also loved CutToe's elegant jacket. Zoe calls Squirc's dress flawless, and Kors says it was beautifully done. No one gets Leatha's work, Kors says Blayne has too many ideas. Yeah. Too many really really bad ideas. Laura says if something is badly made, you can't even concentrate on the ideas. Kors seems to have a soft spot for Blayne, or a half of a boner, so I think he's safe this week. Everyone thinks Keith's work is blah and concept free, and Zoe says it wasn't flattering from any angle. Kors brings up the fact that Keith blamed everyone else but himself. The designers are called back out...and

Squircangle wins!!! She is psyched, and I hope it inspires her to stop being depressed and fix her split ends.

Your prize is a walk to the Shear Genius set. Congrats!

The bottom two are Leatha and Keith. Keith, you're boring, Leatha, you're simple. And you're wearing your Mr. Mistofolees tights, which never helps. KEITH'S OUT!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA yayayayyyyy! I am anti exercise and I just jumped up and down and danced around. I'm done. Wait. Not yet.

Hey... I liked Suede's dress this week. It was shiny and moved great & Jan Smithers' dress would be perfect for my wide-ass hips!!

So happy Keith got dressed down by Michael. I'll never understand why these designers NEVER listen to Tim!

Great job as always Flipit!

serjen:

awesome recap, you made me crap up a lot-- especially your photo captions!

Rachel Zoe is/was the stylists for Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, Misha Barton...essentially she is known for making her clients starve themselves and then dressing them like street bums in oversized clothes.

I loved Korto's jacket but I was surprised that they didn't point out how many of the stylists used the easiest material (seat belts) for their outfits. I also thought Pleather's skirt was great, but he should have done the top with the leather seat cushions. And I LOVED Squircangle's outfit. I think she's pretty damn incredible with her ideas and fits. The challenge was supposed to be innovative so it didn't bother me about the big hips style...it looks so well made. I also liked Kenleys and how she went with the filters and colored on the pattern. Awesome.

I think the girls are the dominant ones this year. To me, my top 4 are Scuirc, Korto, Terri and Kenley. I like that Terri doesn't always just do a dress. She has the most variety, in my opinion.

I never thought I'd say this, but as ANNOYING as Blayne and the whole "licious" stuff is...I really like the kid. He seems to enjoy everyone and making them laugh.
And I enjoyed the whole Terri/Korto "Jeepers Creepers" bit b/c you can tell they are friends and Korto was totally taking it in stride. I thought it was funny. Then Jerrell had to go and ruin it!

Okay, I've babbled...great recap as usuaL!

serjen:

OH MY GOD- I meant to say "You made me CRACK up" a lot... But "CRAP up" is pretty funny!!

Sloane:

Loved your recap as always. This is the first time I think the judges got it right both ways. I think pleather has forgotten that he wanted to talk about himself in 3rd person because he keeps forgetting to say Suede at every given chance. I agree with serjen the girls have it. These guys just aren't consistant enough. I think Korto FTW.

carmelicious:

OMG - Love it!! This recap was awesome! This was my fav: "Right now Heaven's all LOLOLLLLLLL dickwad." Thank you for that Flipit, no seriously, I will think of that line everytime I get pissed because someone at a stoplight doesn't know that green means go, and I forget all the lessons I learned in anger management. Step 1: Think of something funny! Step 2: Don't get out of the car...

I feel like I've gone to crazy-town or something, I thought Hobosexi's outfit looked like ass - it was so short that I could see cooch, and made his model look sunken-in. I really liked Terri's look. Maybe just because it was different, but it was one of the first times I was like, I would so wear that!

Then there is Squircangle - I agree that top was fab, and it beautifully made - but the skirt looked like there were horns coming out of the model's thighs - like she was hiding 2 people's heads under there - I don't know.

Oh! One more thing - you totally nailed the Korto problem. During the show, I was all, "the seatbelt jacket looks cool, but something is just not right." It was the model - I wonder if her dad and grandpa died too? Like earlier that day?

Anywho - Thanks again! (and I decided to keep my user-name - mostly because last week some nice commenters said I should, also because I'm really F'ing lazy)

J-Mo:

I'm going to have to change MY screen name. It's going to be spelled Millikrzyzynskquilourtuwaxabroughmipenivixylaciousness and will be pronounced "Mueh". Everybody who gets it wrong when addressing me is going to arouse seriously irate anger. I'm just sayin'. It's not like someone could be named "Kutto" instead of "Korto" or anything, but then again, the concept of "the silent r" has always given me trouble since grammar school...

Flipit you made me laugh so hard with the poo pellets raining down from heaven that I think *I* left a poo pellet of my own on the computer chair! You know, trotting out long-dead relatives for sympathy on reality shows is close to the lowest of the low for me. Next week it will be his great great great grandfather whom he never knew but whose death in 1847 still greatly depresses the Pleather of today. There will be more kisses to heaven, and just ONCE I would love to have a poltergeist conjure up a flying pair of scissors or something to cut that damned blue mohawk off! Or stab him somewhere non-lethal, like his ass.

Terri is lovely, I kinda want to see her and KUTTO in the finals together, too...

Great recap! You are loved!

love, J-Mo :)
xoxoxox

serjen:

Honestly, I've always thought Korto's model looks depressed at every runway show!

Clair:

Flip, I think you meant to say... "there is, in fact, a God. And SHE is fabulous."

:)

juddfan:

Hey Flip,

You are soooo amazing with these recaps flying at the speed of light!!!! Too funny, I love it when you're in that black mood, but if it's connected to your 30-something, well, happy 30 something anyway!!!! Big Hugs!!!

Loved the show, loved the materials, loved Squircangles dress, and I kinda liked Jerel's look too! I can't tell whose the frontrunner at this point, but lovin' me some Leatha--hope she goes far, even though that was a miss--did she not find her snaps?!

Terri's look rocked too, it was simple, but if those were seat belt pants, Bravo!!!

here4beer:

Another awesome (and awesomely fast recap) Flipit!

And OK, seriously? I just noticed for the first time last night that Hobosexual is only 28. 28!!! He looks in his 40s to me; perhaps he should warn Licous that this is what happens to people who tan incessantly.

abaumga2:

Yawn. i would have been much more excited if they didn't already do this exact challenge on this season of Project Runway Australia. The designs were better there too, since a few of those contestants aren't talentless hacks.

detinha:

LOL! Loved the recap...and it came out soooo fast! (hint/hint J-Mo! lol)!
I couldn't believe when Pale Blayne called Tim, "Timlicious"! Very funny!
OK, I see everybody loves Cut-toe, but she likes to make those coats/ jackets, doesn't she?!
My guess is that next week StraightGuy goes back to his wife and kids!
Thanks for the great recap and pictures! :)

pixiegal262:

abaugma2 I was sooo gonna say that. And the designers didn't freak out, they were more excited that they got to do something creative. These people are such whiny bitches about it and the Australians were like, oh sweet we get to do something interesting.

Korto's was fab. I would seriously wear that coat as is.

And Tim totally giggled when Blayne called him "Timlicious". I think that is the only "licious" i have actually smiled at because I adore Tim Gunn and any time he smiles, it fills me with joy.

Anonymous:

I loved CutToe's jacket too --- I think she will definitely be in the top three along with Terri. The judges are always busting on the designers when they make things that made the models look fat and then they pick Squircangle's outfit as the best?? I loved the top but the hips were absolutely awful. Can you imagine anyone who's not a size 0 wearing that?

Loved seeing Laura back on the show. She's one of my all time favorites mainly because I can actually imagine myself wearing some of her clothes.

mrsdaddytom:

best. recap. ever.

keep the 30something angst because it makes you...dare i say...snarkilicious???

love it.

serjen--i loled at your two comments two. crap up. awesome.

Memememe:

This is an obvious question, but if Korto's name is pronounced Cut-toe, why is there an R in it? Does this mean Kors is really pronounced Koss?

As Hobo's bustier was coming together, I thought it looked like a Halloween costume. "I'm a Volkswagen!" Hang a license plate around her neck and off she goes.

"Don't trust the bitch" is already showing up in the bloggysphere as an animated gif and avatar. I like it, for the next 1.5 weeks. Maybe less.

Rachel Zoe the stylist is responsible for all those tiny, anorexic women wearing huge bug-eye sunglasses that are 2x the width of their faces. Did she also dress them in Ugg boots? ugh.

Straight Guy's dress looked like a BMX racer commissioned his girlfriend a prom dress. I liked Terri's outfit. Blayne's was terrible but I'm not going to argue since Keith is gone. What was Leatha thinking, with those horizontal stripes? Good grief, even I know no one looks good in those.

YAY Keith is gone, happy happy joy joy. He bawled his eyes out at the end, which ordinarily might invoke some sympathy from me. But not for you! Sucka! You don't like the opportunities in SLC? MOVE.

ahhhh it's gonna be nice to have him gone.

marishka:

Not to defend Keith, as I am v. happy he is gone....

I think his point about the problem with his incomplete skirt was that the model ripped it, so he had to fix it, which didn't give him enough time to finish the belt.

Still.

If your garment is that delicate, moron, don't make the model wear it for an extra hour!

Also, the amount of time it takes to resew an inch of a seam does not equal the time it takes to cut, trim, hem and finish a belt. He would not have been done, regardless, and at least he could have cut off the hangy bit! Grrr....good to see his cry-baby ass go home.
