Irony abounds, darlings. The one we wanted sent home from week one kinda grew on us and the one who deserved more wins under her belt couldn't get off our TV screen fast enough last night.
Were they not the cutest team? It seems no matter who Stella is paired with, we want them to get a reality show together.
Dear GOD, kittens.
What are we supposed to say here?
The Duchess nailed it: it's a joke.
When clowns get tumors, is this what they look like?
Variation on a theme: clown farts.
We don't get it at all. Why pair all those candy colors with a flesh-colored aerobics outfit? What was the point to all the leathuh straps, aside from giving Stella something to do?
"Think out of the box, Heidi."
Even though Blayne started out pretty damn annoying, we were kind of fond of him by the end. He's just this clueless kid who seemed to be having quite a bit of fun throughout the competition.
Sure, he played to the cameras too much and he never produced anything that proved to us that he should be there, but we can't hate people who try and bring a little lightheartedness to all the pretension and bitchery. Au Revoir, Blayne de Soleil.
Worst team ever? Quite possibly.
Keith was still in full-on feel-sorry-for-me mode and while we don't blame Terri for having little patience for him, the fact is, she was OUTRAGEOUSLY nasty the whole time. There's fun bitchery and then there's just ridiculosity.
And speaking of ridiculous...
Although, to be fair, we really didn't see this as deserving of the auf. We don't exactly like it, but there were others on that runway that screamed "SEND ME HOME!"
Really, the only thing we hate are those ridiculous sleeves.
They look chip in a chip way, no?
It's kind of ironic, because during the drag challenge, Terri made a decidedly UNdrag garment and now for the avant garde challenge she makes something that would fit right in at the Night of a Thousand Gowns.
Oh, right. We hate the big tails, too.
The rest of it's just okay. Not avant garde, but then again, what was last night?
We kinda wish she'd stuck to the fur idea. It might have bumped this look up a bit. As it is, it just looks kind of tacky and tawdry.
And how DELICIOUS that Xaviera couldn't keep herself from busting out at the Duchess' comments. That is a PR first.
"Voodoo princess in hell." That's about right.
We're not giving Keith a free pass here. He was whiny and annoying but from what we could tell, he started off ready to help Terri. Her over-the-top bitchiness toward him was just ugly to watch and we kind of think since she clearly couldn't keep it off the runway, it played a part in the judges' decision to send her home. Sucks for her, because she did some damn good work during the competition and didn't get enough recognition for it. On the other hand, she was just so damn nasty last night that we couldn't work up a lot of sympathy for her.
I am sad to see Blaine go, not Terry though! I thought her behavior towards Keith was juvenile, she acted like a whiny baby. Although, Kenley? My gosh. What.was.she.thinking?! Ugh. That might've been the worse look on the runway last night, IMO. Hideous on many levels.
Okay - who did the judging? The former contestants who saw the fur piece or the judges who saw the "refined" version? Neither version was from shit. Just wondering.
Sure, Terri's looked like she was wearing an afterbirth as a shawl, but it was waaaaaayayayayayayay better than Kenley's.
Kenley has a sort of Santino effect going on. There's a way to be obnoxious in defending your garment that works. Crossing your arms and rolling your eyes isn't it, tho. I think it involves interrupting and yelling at Nina.
Blayne de Soleil will be missed, not for his designs, but for the juvenile banter he provided. It kept the workroom lighter. Maybe that was just the glow from his tan.
And while Terri's wasn't the worst one of the bottom 4, you just know there was a lot more that happened on the runway than the elves showed us last night. I was proud of her model for cracking up, but it sure pissed Terri off.
I personally wanted to smack Kenley for acting like a spoiled brat. She's only hurting herself and will likely be auf'd very soon. She can't handle criticism, at all. Her garment was vomit sewn together. UGLY.
I thought maybe Terri had a shot, but her nastiness was over the top and I was glad to see her go. I couldn't take my eyes off of the red garbage bag sleeves either.
Blaine was clearly out of his league in this competition and it was his time. I thought Stella was adorable, and having once been really hard on her, she managed an big about face in me. I would definitely watch any future show she's involved in.
Terri's frock... so tagic. So tasteless. That sparkly fabric is about as cheap as you can get. And don't even get me started on those "afterbirth" sleeves. I think that's why she was auf'd - she offended Nina.
When clowns get tumors, is this what they look like?
STILL "lol" at that one. Well done, boys. Said better than we ever could.
Agreed re: your assessment of Li'l Gollum. He really grew on me, starting with the "Lipstick Jungle" challenge, in which he displayed shocking maturity. His camaraderie with Stella was also really sweet. I want them to get together at night to fight crime.
As for Terri Whose State Of Independence Shall Be? It's ironic that the change she made after the planetarium show might have contributed to her auf'ing. I was surprised she flipped so quickly on the fur, based on her comments in interview.
One more thing: I know it's too late for this season, but I'd rather see Wesley ironing shirtless every week than a shot of that stupid Elle magazine cover with Mary-Kate Olsen. Anyone else?
"Even though Blayne started out pretty damn annoying, we were kind of fond of him by the end. He's just this clueless kid who seemed to be having quite a bit of fun throughout the competition." ===================================
True dat. I kind of warmed up to him because I thought he was basically harmless. And I think that he probably acts this way IRL, anyhow.
Very little mean-spiritedness, unlike two other designers I would have preffered to see go over him. (Well, one of them did.)
And it's amazing, the youngest designer of the bunch showed more class and maturity than the pant-maker, the Mormon, and the flower-wearing bitch ever could muster.
Agree about Terri. Watching the show her aufing seemed appropriate, because of all the bitchery. Someone singing "Ding dong the witch is dead" over the demise of another designer needs to watch her back - or overhead - that a house doesn't fall on them. However, after the dust settled, and the ruby shoes removed, I realized how awful it is that Terri won't get to show at BP (even as a decoy), and how wrong it is that she never even won a single bloody challenge.
Blayne needed to go. He pretty much sent a baby on fire down the runway (like you said). Terry, lets just say, she was being a bitch. And the first time she opened her mouth last night "Ding Dong the witch is dead" i knew she was going home. Kenly and joe are next. for sure
It is ridiculous that Terri got kicked off. The thought that Kenley, Suede, Joe, and Jerell all get to show at Bryant Park and she doesn't kind of eats me up inside.
Keith needs to GROW UP! I listened to his interview on another PR blog (you know THE one) and he has his head so far up his arse. Everything was about Keith. Even when given a compliment, he NEVER said Thank You. It's been months since the show was taped and Keith was still whining about no one understanding his artistic view.
Terri was still mean to him. Remember she was also mean to Suede when they were a team. She's the real mean girl!
I was really disappointed to see Blayne go home last night. Somewhere along the way he became less annoying and more... pleasantly mockable? At any rate, it was odd to look at the bottom four last night and realise he was the one that was acting the most mature. Terri was putting the blame wholly on someone else, Kenley was in complete, near violent self denial (did you see the look on her face when she'd been spared a well-deserved auf?), and Suede... well, Kors said it best on that front.
HATRED for both Kenley and Terri last night. And I thought I'd be thrilled when Blayne went but at this point he was the least of the four I thought should go.
Also, why can't Kenley design for boobs? Is she that literal?
I agree, Terri would not have gone home if she wasn't such a heinous bitch during this challenge. And I am actually full prepared to give douche Keith a free pass - his "woe is me, I'm still reeling from my elimination" crap was annoying but he was there and ready to help. She refused to let him and then tried to blame him for not helping. Way more transparent than anything even Victorya pulled. The sad thing is, she's talented and didn't need to play the game that way. Sucks to be her. NEXT!
Blayne's was ridiculous, as you mentioned. Clown tumors indeed. I will miss him though.
I don't think Kenley should have gone home. Hers, while misguided and ugly, at least showed an attempt at being avant garde. Suede's TJ Maxx discount rack pant suit was appalling and appallingly boring for the challenge, and in Tim's Take he said they were going to put SCALES on it to represent Libra! Ugh. Utterly clueless. I cannot believe Suede is still here.
All I can get out of Blayne's is that she's wearing Buster Keaton's long johns. With psychedelic tumble weeds that hit her from her right side. Maybe he was thinking of a Beatles song! Except he probably doesn't know who they are, does he?
I did like watching him and Stella and wish them the best! And at least we have the female Blayne over on Top Design to watch now.
Terri styled her model to look like Leontyne Price on purpose, didn't she? Maybe this gown could have been in a crowd scene at the Met. She hated the idea of working with Keith from the get go and so she sealed her fate. If she had given him at least a little consideration he might have given something back. I wonder if she'd finally had it with the whole PR experience by then. I hate those pumpkins on her shoulders!
I don't think Heidi is a rocket scientist; I think she's pretty average, but what was with all the designers talking to and about a women who has been a successful model for longer than most of them have been out of diapers. Why were they acting like she doesn't know anything?
Blayne went full circle: this outfit was reminiscent of his very first, the grocery store challenge. The pictures make me think of a stripper who's covered with balloons and keeps popping them as part of her act.
Boy, I remember the first episode, when Terri seemed sweet. Her personality went downhill from there. Poor Keith seems seriously depressed.
As for her dress, which sign of the zodiac is a LOBSTER?
She shoulda stuck with pants. As bad as it was, I agree it didn't scream "send me home." I think she got the ax because she was so petulant and angry. As was Kenley, but Terri's sabotaged herself by showing she didn't give a fuck about playing well with others.
It really is quite tragic that Terri won't get to go to BP even as a decoy. And thanks for reminding us that she never even won one challenge. That's just all kinds of wrong. I'm not saying that last night's look wasn't bad, but there was far more fug on the runway than her dress. It seems like there's something terribly wrong with this picture. Despite her penchant for being heavy on the trousers (I think it's a reflection of her own personal style preference), she would have put on a pretty damned good show at BP. Personality-wise, I don't know what happened to her. I remember from epi one how excited, cheerful, grounded and cool she was. Teri's story just proves to me that as much as we say PR is a cut above the rest, it's still very much a character-driven reality compteition show like so many of the others.
Well , if avant-garde means stupid and ugly Blayne nailed it. Other wise he deserved to go home. This outfit is a companion piece to the first one though, isn't it. Gemini. I must say I don't dislike Blayne. He has kind of a poigant quality that is a bit endearing.
Terri's dress looks like a costume for a low budget production of The Taming of the Shrew. What did the fur collar look like? She probably should have left it on. But I don't see how it would have made this dress any better. Maybe she shoud have stuck with pants..
Blayne's first and last outfits make perfect bookends to his PR tenure. They're both terrible and they demonstrate he learned nothing from the experience. But he and Stella were cute together. I was hoping she'd call him her Gay Little Grommet.
Terri may be the first contestant to have bitched herself right out of the tents at BP. She didn't have the worst look out there, but she definitely had the worst attitude and that was enough for the auf. The fact that she isn't showing at Fashion Week while Suede and Joe are must be eating her up inside. As well it should.
Quick question: Didn't the Duchess get the phrase "Pooing Fabric" directly from our lovely hosts? I seem to recall it being said prior to this and Elisa's fabric bowel movements.
And for what its worth, didn't Jonathan Adler steal "J'adorable" as well.
Macasism said, "There's a way to be obnoxious in defending your garment that works. Crossing your arms and rolling your eyes isn't it, tho. I think it involves interrupting and yelling at Nina."
Haha -- that's so true. At least Kenley was defending her garment, if stupidly. Terri was just insulting.
By the way, all those people who think Joe should be gone, but Terri shouldn't be: Joe has actually made a few successful looks. Terri has made a lot of half-successful looks.
Terri and Keith - worst team ever? Nahhh - I still think that trophy splits time between Vincent and Angela's living rooms. Terri may get the smaller "worst team leader" trophy, however.
I thought top 4 / bottom 4 was an obvious split last night, but how they narrowed it down from there is beyond me.
Xaviera is a fantastic model. i hope someone snatches her up next week, but the way model choosing has been going this season it looks hopeless. :/ i would've liked to see through the inevitable throw down from Terri next week, though, if she hadn't been auf'd!
Why is Kenley still there? That 'thing' she created was staggeringly fugly. And the lip she gave the judge, oh my. Bitch or no, I really wanted to see Terri's Bryant Park collection.
I'll miss Blayne. He reminds me of a tan skinny Cabbage Patch kid.
That and a fabulous model seems to be doing the trick for Suede. Kenley is going to catapult Suede right into Bryant Park if she doesn't cut the crap on the runway.
I loved loved loved most of Terri's designs but the past few challenges she turned into a raging witch. And that turned my completely off of her.
I don't think her entry was horrible(um..Kenley's bug outfit)but she shot herself in the foot by not being able to work well with others.
I knew she was toast with her opening line on the show about Stella.
If memory serves me, I think she lives in Columbus Ohio(which is like 3 hours away from me)...if so I hope she'll open a store up there cause bitchy or not I'd still buy her stuff!
That and a fabulous model seems to be doing the trick for Suede. Kenley is going to catapult Suede right into Bryant Park if she doesn't cut the crap on the runway.
===============================
Seriously! Suede should really thank the fashion gods for Tia. She's been working the shit out of his craptastic garmets from day one.
If Miss Jerelldine has an inkling of common sense, she should ditch Nicole and jack Tia. That bitch is FIERCE!!!
The silly thing is that Keith's ludicrous shredded bits fabric aesthetic would have been perfect for some sort of avant garde lion's mane effect, maybe some sort of hood or cowl.
I would have liked to see the original roadkill version properly to see the changes Terri made.
I'll miss Blayne, but not for his designs. But he is very Seattle...
Blayne's aufing was inevitable. It almost seemed like he knew it. I agree that his lightheartedness in the workroom will be missed.
Terri just seemed to combust over the last couple of weeks. Maybe the pressure of not getting the recognition she deserved for some of her better designs? Whatever the case, she brought the ugly in person and in design last night.
Leaving aside all the drama about how many are showing at fashion week, the challenge would have been much stronger if the aufed designers had an opportunity to win their way back on the show. As it was, they had no incentive to be good partners. Some of them were anyway -- Daniel, Kelly, Stella, Jennifer, Emily -- showing a laudable level of maturity and commitment to design. Some of them weren't -- Keith, Jerry, Wesley -- showing only a reprehensible all-about-me attitude. Keith in particular seemed to be actively undermining Terri. Granted, she gave him no reason to do otherwise, but he was a dark cloud from the moment they all stepped on the runway.
I think there was probably a fair bit of editing in the judges/designers dialogue this evening and they focused heavily on Kenley's talk-back to give off the impression she was the one to go. Then again, on the same note I think sometimes it is a case that sometimes you just have to be willing to fight for your design and a few times its been shown that the designer who is at least willing to go tooth and nail for their vision is the one who stays on while the designer who just plays it safe and takes the flak is auf.
I still think they could have just wiped the whole bottom four out in one swoop and I would have been happy.
As a fellow Chicago bitch, I adored Terri. I'll always love her for "ain't no one sucking on these titties". Suede and Blayne should have been gone, but alas they had to get rid of one boy and girl, and Kenley annoys the other designers too much for the producers to let her leave.
Poor Blayne. He's like a pet bunny: dumb, but gentle and cuddly.
I agree with other comments here. (1) How on earth did Jerrell's hideousness win? Was there just so much badness (with the exception of the Scorpio exoskeleton, which I liked) that it didn't take much to rise above?
(2) Kenley's behavior is horrifying and unprofessional. Her work is just horrifying - that dress was Alice in Wonderland mushroom-induced psychosis. It doesn't surprise me that she doesn't look at other designers' work.
(3) OK, so Terri came across as a bitch. But remember, all, that this is reality television, and we're getting an edited version, so who knows what really went down. That said, Keith (seems like) an a*****. He's already been cut, so what's his problem? And, I'm sure he could have refused to return if it was so traumatic for him. Give me a f****** break.
(4) Re our edited version of the 'real': Heidi's comment, "oooohh, that's bad!!" didn't seem to follow _at all_ from what was uttered previously.
Polina (Blayne's model) deserves some sort of special award for neither laughing at or flat out refusing to wear some of the crap that he has put her in.
"you know its never good when a model's head is being eaten by pool floats."
TOO FUNNY And could also perhaps be applied to Kenley's outfit.
I knew Terri was going home when I saw the 2 fabrics she was pairing AND I don't think I've seen anything quite as pitiful as when Tim was waking Keith up for the runway. I'm worried about the boy. Seriously, he looks depressed ! Get him to south philly for SOME TLo therapy STAT.
Blayne baby this was your challange to win....ugh!
Okay Terri went home because her shit looked cheap that skirt was Tackalicious and her not wanting to work with Keith. However Kenley's attitude, and her lack of even trying to work in the confines of the challange ( I'm an aquarius and that outfit wasn't) was enough to send her home! By the way she didn't really "work with" Wesley because I think he hated the design too!
I loved Terri's work and for the most part dug her attitude all season, but even I have to agree she was way out of line last night...even though her partner was a pretty big boob himself. I still don't think she deserved the aufing. Her garment was not good, no. But others were worse.
When I saw Blayne's model, I thought she looked like Carrie White in the shower after gym class with the mean girls throwing their mesh poufs at her instead of tampons.
I'm with you guys, Blaine kinda grew on you, and not in fungus like way, but a good way. He's designe's were not what I would call 'pretty' but maybe with a few more years they will be 'odd & pretty'
Terry blaming someone else. Just blaming the other person. Until she takes resposnibilty she will always be failing blaming the other guy.
Hell if I know. It felt like a bizarro episode ... old castmates, former seasons. Just a big ol' WTF all around. I'm still not convinced Keith is a leo.
Don't have time to read all the comments, but did anybody else think "Gouda Cheese", when viewing Terri's final garment? Maybe my stomach was thinking for me.
As for team cohesion, I don't think it was all one or the other, but from a previous challenge we already know that Terri did not work well with others, and did not know how to motivate others to help her, aside from calling their work horrible. I think Terri might be waiting some time to find financial backers, unless she can convince the money that she can delegate & work with different people.
Sid Licious, it was fun, but you do need to mature as a designer. And never, ever, never say 'Timlicious' or "Holla" ever again! You were doing kind of well with the car challenge. What happened?
On a side note: Keith comes back and all of a sudden Tim's second button is undone for his trip 'round the workroom. Coincidence? :)
I am sad to see little Blayne go. He became less and less annoying and more cute each episode. His design was awful and he deserved the auf, but thanks for giving us one more round of the Blayne and Stella show.
Terri's bitchery was in full bloom last night, and coupled with Keith's whine it was horrendous to watch. Worst. Team. Ever. But I certainly don't think she deserved the auf and has far more talent than many of the others still there (yes Suede, I am talking to you, although apparently you don't listen to live people).
Terri, in her exit interview, said that she didn't lose this challenge, it was taken from her (by Keith). She's not young - she's 39 - and she should've learned some personal responsibility by now. I'm so disgusted by her.
(4) Re our edited version of the 'real': Heidi's comment, "oooohh, that's bad!!" didn't seem to follow _at all_ from what was uttered previously.
Agreed. That was wayyyyy edited. She probably said it about a different garment entirely. I don't know why Tim is always so enthralled with the editing skills when the edits seem so obvious.
Carol in LA said... Terri, in her exit interview, said that she didn't lose this challenge, it was taken from her (by Keith). She's not young - she's 39 - and she should've learned some personal responsibility by now. I'm so disgusted by her.
If one has not developed good character by age 39, she is in for a rough unhappy life. Always blaming others is unhealthy, and yes, worthy of disgust.
Quick question: Didn't the Duchess get the phrase "Pooing Fabric" directly from our lovely hosts? I seem to recall it being said prior to this and Elisa's fabric bowel movements.
And for what its worth, didn't Jonathan Adler steal "J'adorable" as well.
Someone please correct me if I am mistaken.
11:34 AM
Just because you read it on this blog for the first doesn't mean TLo coined the phrase or that somebody "stole" it from them. I have heard j'adorable for years from gay guys, and I'm not sure how one can have a monopoly on the phrase "pooping fabric." As if the fashion designers can't come up with their own on-the-spot impressions of fashion designs anyway without 'stealing' from a blog.
"hello, i'm patsy stone said... Quick question: Didn't the Duchess get the phrase "Pooing Fabric" directly from our lovely hosts? I seem to recall it being said prior to this and Elisa's fabric bowel movements."
Yes, he did. And it isn't the first time The Boys From Philly have been quoted (ie; had their jokes stolen) by people on the show.
I initially thought Kenley should've gone home, as well.
But then I read someone else's take: that even obnoxious & defiant Kenley defended & took credit for her design.
Terri totally threw Keith under the buss and blamed Christian for why she changed the collar. And apparently Xaviera doesn't care much for her as well, considering her attitude on the runway.
Not to mention the "ding, dong the *#@^%$ is dead" line, was totally uncalled for & unprofessional.
come on give Keith a break - I thought he tried to help and Terri bitched her way over him.
Was it Keith or Tim who suggested a lrge ruffled collar instead of a fur (too literal) mane?
And I thought Kenley's (which in the previews I swore was elephant ears) with the oversized arms/shoulders and bubble bottom was a copy of that hideous 80's fabric one the judges gave the win a few challenges back - Gag then, gag now.
I'd snap up Xaviera! She's great! And taking her now won't generate any ill will with the other competitors.
And- as whiny as I found Keith's be gentle-I still hurt schtick, I'll just say, I give him credit for being honest and upfront about it. He let her know he was still hurting and needed some sensitivity. After how she worked with Suede, maybe he hoped it would help them get along?? Of course, she made it clear from the top that she had no intention of considering his involvement.
Blayne's model looked like she was wearing a giant static-y ACE bandage that attracted hundreds of loofas as she walked down the right side of the aisle at Bed, Bath and Beyond.
Oh, dear god, Blayne, didn't anyone tell you about the worst fashion sin ever? I see "visible panty line"!! That alone earned you the "auf".
Terri - well, what a bitch. Nevertheless, it at least looked like something someone might wear. As opposed to Kenley's. What the heck was that thing?
The most bizarre part of this episode was the how utterly delusional Kenley and Blayne were about their "garments". I think they were both off their meds.
I thought it was Heidi that gave that critique to Elisa's turquoise dress in the first challenge of S4.
Also didn't Laura B. say to Michael in S3 during the Miss America challenge, Be carefull where you place the rhinestones (on the back of the dress) we don't want her to look like she's pooping rhinestones. ?
Miss Heather said about Keith "I'm sure he could have refused to return if it was so traumatic for him". I don't think that's true; I'm sure they are contractually obligated to participate in these types of things. I'm sure it would have cost him a considerable amount of money to not show up.
Bailey said about Terri "She refused to let him and then tried to blame him for not helping." Amen! He may have been whiny and annoying but he was willing to help and she refused; thus sealing her fate. Her complaining about how he disappeared for an hour and a half; exactly what difference did that make? You didn't let him do anything anyway; he was just supposed to stand there and watch you work?
I agree, Blayne turned out to be rather sweet, he just needs to grow up and get a little vision beyond the tanning bed.
(with apologies to Sheena Easton and those of you that are sick of this)
He wakes up every mornin', and stumbles out of bed Stitchin' and designin', a Parsons day ahead He seems to sew forever, and time goes slowly by Till he dreams of MaryKate O, then it starts to fly
'Cause the moment that Blayne's sketchin’, design can take a flight The moment that Blayne's sewing, nothing is quite right Runway is the real time, “What the f_ck?” Models pooping fabric, then he’s Auf
Chorus: You bloggers are just mourning Blayne He played on season five and then he made another mess again to find an aufin' for him
Chorus
Blayne takes me to the seaside or to a tanning booth to go Deep basting, anything I want Only when Blayne's with me, I catch sunlight Gives me melanoma, makes my skin feel tight
I don't get why they judged an avant garde challenge in the dark at a party. Avant garde pieces aren't for *wearing*. I think if the judges had chosen the winner, it would have been Leanne again.
Blayne's outfit was ludicrious. Terri's was wretched. Although their attitudes were night and day both auf's were deserved. Terri went over to the dark side and she wasn't coming back. Her ugly attitude and anger were reflected in her work. She has no one but herself to blame for letting her anger drive her instead of creativity. If you are all closed up with anger and hostility, creativity isn't going to flow through that nastiness. She blew it.
BTW TLo I agree with you when you say, "There's fun bitchery and then there's just ridiculosity." And then there's people who can just be cruel as hell to someone but somehow its ok because you're talking to a camera ? I dont get it.
PS Sidenoted to b bomber: My Phils this year are channeling your Mets from last year. Arggh
In Blayne's exit interview, he said he'd like to see Jerrell and Leanne win. But in After the Sew, he only said Leanne. I have no idea whether that's foreshadowing or not.
Terri had it out for Keith from the start. When he was chosen to be her partner, instead of acknowledging him in any kind of welcoming way, she turned her back to him, rolled her eyes, and shook her head. She sabotaged her own outfit. She is solely to blame. I was glad that MK and FC had no sympathy for her attitude.
I can't believe that Terri is still blaming Keith for her losing; talk about delusional. Unless there is something we didn't see, she didn't let him do a thing so he couldn't possibly be responsible for that.
From the get go, Terri was just being a BITCH. Commenting that Stella is a witch? Come on!
And I grew up in a very passive aggressive environment (South Dakota), but WOW!!! Terri and Keith ... I've NEVER experienced that type of PA before EVER.
I will miss our little Blayne du Soleil-he did rather grow on me. He and Stella did make a very cute team. But his Libra creation-IIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!MYEYESMYEYESMYEYES!!!!!! It was truly hideous.
As for Terry, I thought that she got the auf partially because of her attitude toward Keith. didn't the Dutchess or Costa tell her that she has to be able to work with others to be successful?
Voodoo Princess in Hell-MyGod, but Ms. Kors is in rare form this season!
Absolutely agree on ALL points on Terri, boys. couldn't have said it better myself and I had reservations on the TerriLove Train to BP! Bad form Terri, bad form.
Keith was whiny but he really was trying to help. I think I would have buggered off to sleep in the lounge as well since every time he asked if he could help, she was horrid.
She didn't deserve the Auf for the dress but for her attitude? Sayonara. I don't hate her. I just think she imploded and took anyone within a 2 feet radius with her. She SHOULD have made it to BP - she can blame herself for not keeping it together long enough to get to the finish line.
Terri - I hope you are friends with Korto cuz you can learn a lot from her.
I can't believe Suede is still around after last night's disaster of a design.
Blayne's was just horrible and I am surprised Stella didn't do better here with advising him. If anyone, I would think Barbarella would have been more than comfortable with the avant garde challenge. His design was a joke and I couldn't stop giggling watching it on the runway. Bad bad bad. He did grow on me when he stopped with the Licious somewhat but you're right, he didn't have the skills to make it far on the show.
Keith was whiny, but I think he would have made an effort for Terri if she was civil to him. I had thought Terri was on her way to BP, but have to admit I was happy to see her go.
So where can I pick up a copy of Bill's songbook?
I'm another one that's gonna have that song stuck in my head all day.
wimple said: I felt Kenly should have gone instead of Terry. Was that just me?
==================================
Hmmm. I disagree respectfully. Kenley was HORRID too. And her design was a bit of a joke as well but it was better than Terri's. In my opinion. I probably would have sent Suede home instead of Terri actually. But again, I can't disagree with the decision cuz Terri was just truly horrible last night.
I thought Kenley's piece looked funny in an intentional way. Terri's just looked dull and foolish. Blayne's was truly ghastly. It's a shame Terri behaved so badly, because she has some talent and deserved to show at Bryant Park more than any of the guys remaining. (The outfit Daniel ghost-designed for Joe shows he belonged there too.)
I think Terry left, in part, because on last night's team challenge and on the past one she did with another designer (was it Joe or Daniel?) she showed she doesn't work or play well with others. And you have to be able to work with others when you are a designer.
Blayne should have left long ago. It was his time.
And they should have thrown a third elimination in there - which could have gone to "MicroFiber" or "Mean Girl."
Terri's was pretty bad - not as bad as the other 3 though. Kenley's and Blaynes were some SERIOUS ugly. Especially Kenley's. I mean WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? And she was defending it like it was the best of the 4 on the runway - and it really wasnt. She deserved the auf. Even with Terri's bitchiness to a "bitchy himself" person. I'm gonna get so pissed if Kenley keeps making that stupid 50's style dress like she does everyweek.
Also - as obnoxious as Kenley was - she took ownership for her garment. Even though she's delusional =)
Terri started out by saying "there's no team, just me" (or something to that effect) then when she was getting ripped on the runway, she blamed Keith cuz he left for an hour and a half.
She gave Keith no direction at all. She was thoroughly unprofessional and the results in the end showed it. I think if she had been less ANGRY and more calm, she may have utilized the extra pair of hands much better. If she didn't want Keith to be part of the design concept, then fine. But at least use him to help with the garment!
PLUS Keith suggested at Mood that she shouldn't use faux fur. She disregarded him. But when one of the designers said that the fur collar was tacky, she ditched it. A blatant bias against Keith for no real reason.
geoff said: One more thing: I know it's too late for this season, but I'd rather see Wesley ironing shirtless every week than a shot of that stupid Elle magazine cover with Mary-Kate Olsen. Anyone else?
===================================
I did enjoy that 2 second shot of Wesley immensely =) And also just seeing him on the show again, he is SO ADORABLE. I can look at him all the live long day =)
If only the work was being evaluated, Terri would have survived; other designers did worse. But apparently the judges got wind of her past behavior and her treatment of Keith as a leper sealed her fate. Karma hard at work.
Apparently Jerell's look had numerous (a dozen?) fabrics and trims on the jacket and still looked pretty good. This may have been what impressed the prior season designers and cinched his win.
As for Leanne, I think she had one of the top looks, but I think the producers would try to dissuade the judges from making any designer a three-in-a-row challenge winner.
And I'm singing along with the chorus on Blayne and Stella; they both drove me up the wall at first, then they evolved into such likable characters that I was truly sad to see them 'auf.
Thank G*d for TLo's screencaps; some of those garments whizzed past so fast that all I remember is a blur of color.
And Naugahyde at Bryant Park? I'm still shaking my head...
I personally find that Kenley, Blayne and Terri all suffered the same basic problem. They didn't exploit their help to their best advantage in 1 form or the other. Blayne and Kenley strike me as rather immature. They both have a lot to learn being young. They were so fixated on their designs they were not listening to differeing opinions. I wonder if that was why Stella did not do more to calm down the design. She knew likely the mess it was going to be as much as she hated the idea of his aufing. Wesley didn't seem to even try to help Kenley.
Terri clearly hated the idea of working with Keith and didn't even use him for an extra pair of sewing hands. She really should have used his input since he said early on he hated the idea of a fur collar and that it looked cheap. What's more his design POV would probably have helped create a true avant garde design. She should have at least swallowed her pride and asked Keith that morning to help her salvage the dress.
Yes Keith was whiny but it was actually only 2 days earlier and not 2 weeks that he got tossed off and we all saw how hard he took it.
Ironically as the weeks went by I found Terri exhibiting the same desperate desire to get to BP as Keith did. Think back to that look she gave Joe when he won, the impatience and passive agressive behavior she exhibited during team challenges and the comments by Jerrell and Stella about her character.
So Terri had two team challenges and she utterly failed both. Whereas Kenley, nasty whatever that she is, apparently is a decent team lead and was (after a rough start) cooperative as an assistant.
The thing with Terri is, if she can't manage one assistant, what's she going to do with $100,000 other than pay herself to be a one-person shop? (In other words, a win would have let her do Leanne is already paying the rent doing without PR seed money.) You don't have to be Jerrell-level easy-to-work-with to be the boss, but you do need to know how to delegate and work with other people it seems that Terri doesn't.
As soon as I saw Keith being involved in some sort of Lion outfit, I expected some sort of crazy swatch mane to go along with the dress.
It would have been a helluva lot more interesting, if it had.
I'm so glad Terri is gone. I realize that she started getting the bitch edit, but she was also vulgar without being witty, and that is simply inexcusable. And I didn't like her designs, either.
terri dosen't get along with anybody. Its was apparent with Suede, obvious with Keith, and jerell and stella said they don't trust her. Jerell mentioned she had only 4 patterns. Whch she did and she sing that song about stella, clearly is not the witch but maybe she was singing about herself. Joe was right terri is a one trick pony. Her clothes were always middle of the road and she gets along with nobody. Go home biatch. Your an evil mess.
I almost felt badly for Blayne. If anything was delusional, it was that costume. But then, he opined that MK Olson is a fashion legend, so what can one expect? I agree with whoever said it first, he needs about 5 years under his belt.
Keith did himself no favors in this episod. If I were a hiring manager, he'd be poison after the attitude and stunts he pulled.
But then there was Teri. If Keith was poison, she would be plutonium. I would not touch her with a 20 foot pole and full lead-lined hazmat suit. She was just plain nasty. Not fun. Not good. Just nasty.
Blayne turned out to be a much more interesting and talented contestant than the character he was playing at the beginning of the show ever hinted at. He's actually quite sweet and funny. While he lacks maturity as a designer, his garments are interesting and he does have the talent to execute them well. A moment that I'll always remember about Blayne happened in episode 5 when he was paired up with Leanne. He told the judges that if they were to choose him or Leanne to leave the show, it should be him as he was the one who took the lead on the design. That was cool.
It was time for him to go. This last garment was horrible but I think he was an excellent choice for the show and am very interested in following his career.
From the start, Terri was one of my favorites and I would grouse when she didn't make it into the top three or when I thought she should have won. But the last couple of weeks, I haven't cared about her work (forget the behavior), because she wasn't designing she was constructing. This is a competition for a fashion designer not a tailor. It is about having a point of view and bringing that to your designs. Pants is not a point of view. She made it this far because of great construction skills and no risk taking. I honestly think if she had let Keith help her, or keep her mouth shut about him on the runway, she would have made it through. But the judges know you have to work with others to make it in the business and she showed she had major problems in that department.
Sorry, off the soapbox. PS Did anyone else think her dress looked like a costume for Eddie Murphy's Coming to America?
Terri deserved the auf, and not just for her atrocious attitude. Her work has NOT been brilliant, just, usually, the least offensive on a runway of awful. It's been consistently mundane. At least even Suede seems to be trying to learn from the feedback, and has produced some glimmers of originality.
My favorite moments in a hot mess of an episode:
Kenley's meltdown, Part II: Maybe, just maybe she's cracking up because she's realized that she still has things to learn, and her hyper-defensiveness is coming from the last scraps of a shredded ego. She's talented, and not stupid, by a long shot. Maybe she'll come out on the other side willing to listen to advice?
Team assignments: Gracious and professional reunions (with the glaring exception of Terri) from the remaining designers. The looked as if they genuinely had missed their original "litter-mates".
Emily and Leanne working together. The girls were just having scads of fun!
The Dutchess commenting on Suede's use of third person "he isn't good enough for that, yet".
The look on Heidi's face when Blayne told her to "think out of the box". Heidi: "Boxes, what boxes? We haf boxes?"
Jerell winning: I don't know why he won, but maybe it was a "Miss Congeniality" prize, disguised. Well done, for whatever, cute boy.
Tim snarling "Fine. Don't listen to me." to Kenley.
How can ANYONE say Kenley should have gone home with the piece of shit that Suede made up there on the runway? Tacky, dated, cheap, and most of all DULL. It was a normal outfit. Kenley's may not have looked Aquarius, but at least the attempt at avant-garde was there. Suede designed normal, wearable clothing. It wasn't avant-garde at all and no one would think "Oh, Aquarius" or whatever had they not known what the challenge was. Auf auf auf auf auf with his head! Terri is a bitch but she was head-and-shoulders (and maybe even torso and knees)over Microfiber.
Nothing was Avante Garde about this show. I was really longing for Christian and Sissy Bear.
Kenley's outfit was Alice Lost in Wonderland. I think she may be stuck there herself. While she is annoying, I don't think she's mean and I look forward to seeing what she shows at Bryant. It might be all quilt and patchwork, but it will be interesting.
Terri wins the "Bitch You're Goin' Down" award this season. I was done with her last challenge she designed yet another pant suit. She might be good at that, but it doesn't show much range. There was no helping that dress. I'm glad she's gone.
I will miss Blayne de Soliel because he had this pied-eyed innocense that only youth will bring to the competition. His departure was inevitable but he was just too much fun!
That dear Blayne. Probably the sweetest of the bunch. But that garment was the worst in PR history.
I was hoping for a dramatic confrontation with hair pulling. With Terri and Stella gone that may not happen. Someone needs to set Kenley straight so maybe there is still the opportunity.
Blaine's design was wrong on so many levels. I was so hoping that he'll stay a bit longer after last episode. I saw a glimmer of hope that he could produce something more tailored and clean, yet still him. However, that outfit is totally unforgiving. Nice knowing you, Blaine.
As for Terri's, I thought it was like a costume. I kinda wished she utilized the fur in a different manner to make it work. Those red sleeves did not go at all. They were like swimming floaties. And all that drama with Keith was unnecessary. However, I wouldn't think he would brought much to the table. After all, his taste is far more questionable than Terri's and his craftsmanship is hardly up to par throughout his time there. It was prety much doomed from the start.
I was so hoping Kenley was going to be aufed since hers did not echo the challenge as well as Terri's. At least Terri really drew some inspiration from Keith's sign. I didn't see any relation to Aquarius with Kenley's. I didn't like how she denfeded herself up on the runway when it is clear as day that her outfit wasn't innovative, let alone different from what she usually does. Sometimes, she just got to listen and take the criticism to her advantage. Otherwise, she's totally going to fail.
Kenley is starting to remind me of those poor hapless women on "What not to Wear" and "How Do I Look?" who put on their horrid little outfits and go "What's wrong with it? I think it's cute?"
While Terri showed herself to be classic rhymes with witch, I still don't think she should have been aufed over Suede. I'd much rather see what she'd come up with for Bryant Park.
What I don't understand is why the judges weren't ripping Suede for a cheap and tacky look as much as they were Terri. Satin pants wrinkled at the crotch and wrapped around the ankle. Ugh. Not a good look in the 80s and not a good look now.
I guess I'm in the minority here. I think Terri was very mild with Keith, because what he deserved was to be THROWN OUT OF AN UPPER STORY WINDOW. He's a self-pitying dipshit, the most useless of all human types. And didja notice? He did that thing again -- where he had suggestions when TIM asked him that he never once mentioned when it was just Terri.
I also kind of liked Terri's garment. It was nowhere near aufable. She got nailed because she couldn't work with her partner -- but WHO COULD?
"I'm still a little fragile here". God! Die, Keith, die!
i believe that terri was aufed more for her attitude & refusal to be a team player than for her design -- it really wasn't nearly as awful as kenley's, however "esmerelda-ish".... i agree with many of the other posters that while keith was no picnic, i believe that if terri had treated him with respect and appreciation he would have rallied to help. i don't blame him for walking away. she does have design talent, and i would have loved to see her at bryant park, but i don't feel sorry for her at all. she sealed her own fate with her nasty demeanor. both she and keith are going to have a rough go of things if they expect to make it in the design world. neither is so talented that they can get away with shitty behavior, and not too many investors are going to be anxious to hand over funding to them if they can't work with and keep a staff to keep a business running....
- Terri works for Victoria's Secret in Columbus, Ohio. Thats a big place that requires team work. She said she didn't want to go back to her job, but can you imagine having too do so after the performance she has given.
- I was thrilled to see Kelly back. Kelly lives in Columbus, Ohio, too. Apparently quickly becoming the center of the Auf'd universe.
- While Suede's outfit wasn't the most imaginative, nor advant guarde, it was something that was wearable - which is a huge change from some of his "frocks".
- Joe's outfit looked a lot like the one that got Daniel auf'd. And why was Daniel so cooperative with Joe, but not Kelly?
- Leanne's design was very Lady Scorpio - I've never met one that didn't positively quiver with energy - and might be the most accurate representation of a sign.
- Yeah, like many of you, I didn't get Jerrell's at all, but, as MK says in his blog, the differnt pieces might be put together in quite attractive fashion. I thought from the Tim visit that it was a short skirt - I think that might have been more successful.
- Blayne, oh Blayne - grow up and come back and try again!

I hated Keith but I gotta disagree. Kenley managed to work well with him, even though they had disagreements. He is self-pitying, but he wasn't the one making snide "He can count the pins" comments and basically ignoring his partner. Who wouldn't have walked away from that? He was already out, he had no real incentive to stand there looking stupid, doing nothing, while Terri barked shit constantly.
I also think you are mistaken about the "not giving his opinions until Tim comes around" thing. Joe did that earlier, but Keith never did.
You all are just too kind. I never warmed up to Blayne because he was just so darn stupid and totally unaware of the world pre-1990. He didn't do a single design that was worthy of this show--and this abomination really proved that he is Clue.Less.
From the first minutes of last night's episode, when Terri was dancing around the apartment singing about Stella, "The witch is dead!" I was done with her. She's 'way talented, but she's also a stone bitch.
Kenley? Brat-o-rama!
Geez--is there anyone to vote for for fan favorite besides the wonderful Stelllllllaaaaaa?
Nope fnarf you are not alone on this one-I am in total agreement with you. Okay so Stella lovers are saying Terri has a bad tude so she deserved to be auffed but Jeffery S. that whiny, bitchy, rude, ugly clothes making lizard can be rude and evil to someone's mother on national tv and win the whole dam show. Ri-dam-diculous. Folk act like Keith wasn't a whiny azz bitch to begin with...Give me a break. There is no way Terri deserved to be auffed over Suede-it just goes to show that shit was personal and its very telling that she is perceived as more evil than the swamp monster who made the ugliest clothes in PR history outside of Blayne's last outfit.
I finally made myself watch Terri's exit interviews and man, that whole thing about Stella and the pants comment was completely incomprehensible. Rivalry over who makes the best pants? See Chris March: "It's just two sleeves sewed together."
And why was Daniel so cooperative with Joe, but not Kelly?
When Daniel worked with Kelly he botched the skirt on the first attempt and she made him feel incompetent. He doesn't seem to be good at carrying out other people's designs and he doesn't work well under pressure. With clueless Joe he got to take the lead in the design even though Joe was allowed to take credit for it, and the pressure was off. It's ironic, considering how rude Joe was to him over "taking his machine", that Daniel would help Joe get to show at Bryant Park, but Daniel doesn't seem to be vindictive and made the most of an opportunity to design a good dress. Too bad he can't design Joe's final collection for him.

Uhhhh, that didn't even seem to be Fnarf's argument. He didn't say anything about Terri deserving or not deserving to be thrown off, he just said that the friction was Keith's fault, not Terri's. And as much as I hated Jeffrey too, his clothes were nowhere near "the ugliest in PR history." Bitter much? (And yes, Suede should have gone home over Terri.)
I am happy the Terri is gone. I hated her attitude.
I felt Kenly should have been gone as well.
All bad attitude should have been Auf!
Blaine - that was some kind of ugly! Sorry that should have been done differently and I think you realize that now. He has a good attitude he should have stayed!
However it not about attitude its about the runway.
I think that diaperlicious Blayne had the fugliest most aufworthy design ever seen on PR.
Little Miss Defensive Kenley probably should have been aufed instead of Terri. Her dress was the weirdest costume.
Terri was out of control nasty, worse than Witchtoria last season. I used to like Terri and her work, but she is one nasty competitor. Keith was never one of my favorites, but the way she treated him was appalling.
At first I was pulling for Terri since she lives in my city but that changed as she started getting meaner as the show progressed. Plus, she dosn't play well with others. I know this is fashion and that creative personalities often clash but she should have really sucked it up and worked with Kieth even though she didn't like him personally. I think that was the real reason why she was auf'ed. Kenley better be careful because she's falling into the same vibe and she could be next because of her poor attitude. Shame really because I liked Kenley in the beginning.
I loved Keith's Lion King comment about her gown because he's right. I just saw the show and the only thing that was missing from Terri's dress was a Lioness Head Hat and you've got Simba's mother all over.
Terri had me ready to scream with the way she treated Keith. Not that he was a dream partner or anything, but I didn't blame him for walking off one bit. Nasty nasty nasty. And not in a fun, dirty way.
When Terri's model laughed, I just wanted to throw my arms around her and hug her until her eyes bulged (just a little, not a lot). I also kind of wanted to hold her close just in case Terri started trying to cut someone. If looks could kill!!!
Blayne. It was bad. Just...so...bad. Out of the box had nothing to do with that mess. Unless he meant someone's guts spilled out of the box and onto the design table.
As goofy and annoying as Blayne started off, he wasn't terrible. He wasn't mean. He was just Blayne. I'm going to miss him a little. Like I miss the puppy that peed and pooped all over the house just before we had to have it (compassionately) put down for some horrendous disease.
Kenley's dress wasn't pretty, but it was vaguely avant garde, and I like the fact that she's stands up for herself. In his exit interview, Daniel explained that when she laughed while he was talking on the runway she prefaced it by saying "I just love him," which was cut out in the editing. And you have to admit that the boob conversation with Heidi and her model was hilarious.
Putting aside all the personality issues, the judges made the right decision.
There is no way that Suede's outfit was worse than Terri's. I thought his was kind of cute, nothing avant-garde about it of course. Kenley's had a spark of interest to it, I loved the leather bustier bit and the skirt was fab... but Terri's... that was truly a sad, tragic, bargain bin cheap-o disaster. Did you see the hem on that thing? It looked like one of Beyonce Knowle's mother's show designs - only worse. That poor model. She looked truly embarrassed to have to wear that thing on the runway.
As obnoxious as Terri was, I really don't think that had anything to do with her being auf'd. The judges: as most recently according to Laura Bennett, don't have a clue as to what goes on behind the scenes. While Terri may have said she was flabbergasted by the comments, she definitely didn't give the Kenley-esque attitude to the judges. That said, the judges DO tend to penalize teams that don't work well together...which I find a little disingenuous since we all know the Duchess and his fellow fashionistas alike would be off with someone's head, especially an assistant's, if they gave him attitude.
Terri was auf'd for designing a gown with cheap looking fabric. Nina would've given it the pass if it weren't for that chintzy gold lame knit nightmare that she made the skirt out of...THAT to me was the irony! All the bitching and moaning about her doing pants all the time and the moment she returns to the skirt SHE'S AUF'D!
Kenley was FUGLY but showed avante-garde effort. Suede's was FUG and was also BORING as hell. HE should've been sent packing!
Frankly, I'm generally happy to see whatever the contestants put together for BP, even if I didn't like the contestant's work as a whole on the show. Why? Because the bizarre constraints of the challenges don't always seem to be the best indicator of the abilities. I think about Kara Saun, S1. Loved a lot of what she did on the show, but the BP collection was derivative and alot was ugly over worked leather. Over Dan V, S2. With Tim, his stuff on the show was interesting. His collection was nice sportswear basics and bizarre dresses with odd flaps on them. And who can forget Michael/Mychael's fab work on the show and his slutwear on BP??
having said that, I suspect there may be some really unexpected stuff from whomever shows- delightful and distressing.
OK TLo, what's the deal with tomorrow? The show starts at 9:00 AM, are you coming straight back to Philly or hanging out? I guess the bottom line is when can we expect news (my refresh key needs a break)? Demanding and addicted kittens wanna know.
I hereby lift the "mean girl" epithet from Kenley's head and redub her "rude girl". I think she suffers from some type of insecurity that makes her overdefensive and loud (best defense is a good offense). Plus, not only does she take credit for her work, she defends it and does not blame others.
Terri.... Let's just say I have not seen any interesting innovation from her. She makes classic trousers, blazers and floaty tunics, a talented tailor perhaps. She sews fast. I would buy her clothes and wear them, they have a broad appeal. But they are safe.
But she is also a mean, vindictive and a jeering bitch. I thought Korto was going to kick her in the head while she was rolling on the floor mocking her awesome seatbelt coat in the Saturn challenge. She can't take responsibility for her own behavior and honestly, I know at least four designers in that group that would have worked very well with Keith and turned out a fantastic design all while being kind and sensitive. She can't work with anyone and can't handle any criticism or suggestions. Egomaniac?
I did not appreciate the Stella trash talk. She clearly needs to dump on other people to make herself feel better.
If Rami had treated Allison Kelly like that in a team challenge, this place would be in an uproar.
I like LeeAnn and Jerrell and Korto for the top 3.
Really, watching the bottom four finally get the criticism that most of them managed to escape all season was kinda satisfying. I would have been happier if they just axed them all last night: two for bad attitudes and two for consitently bad outfits and one (again) for noted annoying third-person references.
I liked Terri so much until I watched her exit interview. That dress was a low class mess that she designed, constructed and sent up the runway. The idea that anyone took Bryant Park from her is absurd.
The judges realized that Terri does not need the 100K, not when she can blame other people for her failures for free.
Uh Teddy G-connect the dots, I was agreeing with fnarf on his/her feelings regarding the way Terri treated Keith-AND I was commenting on my OWN about the rest of the posters who felt she deserved to be auffed because of her attitude. Yes Jefferey's clothes were the ugliest ever and No he did not deserve the win. Why the snark, what are you his uncle?
I have a DVR so I skipped thru the commercials so I almost missed the fan favorite vote ad. Text 27286 with the name of your favorite designer. It costs $.99!!! I swear to God, the producers don't spend any money on this show other than lodging and food for the cast and crew. They are raking it in! But vote for Stella!!!!!
You don't have to spend 99¢; you can vote at Bravotv.com.
lima bean:
I expect the reason Laura B. and Chris M. weren't asked to judge is that they have both been on the show already this season, Laura as a judge. And, of course, we don't know who was asked and declined the invitation!
I can't recall every seeing such an all out disaster on the show. I mean there's been bad ones, but Blayne's outfit looked like a high school project made by teens on a Friday night when they were all under the influence. Baaaaad!
Sorry to see Terri blow it so phenomenally. It's true -Keith doesn't have the design nor the sewing skills, but then surely she's worked with people like him before?
As for Kenley, she's l'enfant terrible of this season. Any of these designers could shoot back a comment or two to the judges. But what's the point? Someone doesn't like what you do, someone gives you a reason why, then you take it in whether or not you disagree with it. I thought her outfit looked like a giant MR PEANUT laying across the model's shoulders.
Loved Joe's dress. I just hope he starts showing some life around the judges.
Okay, maybe I'm insane, but, you know, I actually liked Blayne's outfit, and I think that if he just had the arm bit, and edited out the leg protrusion (particularly, the pieces near her bum), that it would have been terrific and could have even been in the top. The boy defended his design well (much better than "REBELLIOUS, QUIRKY, PURPLE!!!!!" Kenley), and you could interpret his design as Libra knowing the challenge. It had the tipping of the scales, while being strict and balanced.
Or maybe I'm just bitter that they took Stella and Blayne away from us in back-to-back weeks. :(
When voting for Fan Favorite on the website, why do they ask for your cell phone number? I'm confused - I've never done the weekly questions thing and I don't wanna get a huge cell phone bill.
I have always liked Kenley but a HUGE WTF to her design last night. Omg. It was just....awful. I am going to kick her ass if she screws around and lets Suede get into the top 3. Ugh. At least he didn't talk about any dead relative this week.
Blayne's was clearly the worst thing on the runway last night. And that is saying A LOT. But Kenley's dress was a drunk drag queen minnie mouse whose boobs migrated south for the winter. I can't believe that she was safe before Suede. Sure Suede's outfit was not the most avante garde thing in the world, but at least it had taste and looked pretty.
Blayne and Stella: on their own, I don't care about them. But together, I love them and want them to rent an apartment together and watch what happens. It'd be rad.
Here's the reality show that I would pay to see: Jeffrey, Christian, Terri, Blayne, Stella, Kayne, Jay, Santino, Vincent, Angela, Victorya and Laura all living in one house to create a show for Fashion Week.
Terri's dress looks like a walking version of the neon entrance to the Flamingo Hilton in Las Vegas.
As for her attitude, I think we're going to have to wait for the DVD and see; remember how LB said her interaction with Keith was edited so it appeared like he was arguing with her and she said, "Excuse me?" when she really just wanted him to stop mumbling? I can't help but wonder how much manipulation took place in how Terri was presented in this challenge. Granted, her comments about Stella were uncalled for. But if Kenley had received the auf instead of Stella, and Terri had said "Ding dong, the wicked witch is dead" of Kenley, would we really belabor this point so much?
I disagree about Terri's bitchiness. I don't think Keith had any intention of helping her or anyone else; I think he came back solely to attempt to garner sympathy. Bleh, and he still has a rat tail. Congrats to Jerrell, everyone seemed truly happy for him when he won. And I will joing the Blayne fans; he's basically harmless, enjoyed the ride, and stuck to his aesthetic (whatever that may be!) And LOL at Nina cracking up over "Grand Coutourier 3rd Person Lingo"!
I'd still like to know what happened between Stella and Terri because last week Stella said she didn't trust Terri and this week, well, we saw Terri's reaction. When two basically nice people - Stella and Jerrell - say Terri is not to be trusted, something clearly went on in the workroom.
"Grace said... Here's the reality show that I would pay to see: Jeffrey, Christian, Terri, Blayne, Stella, Kayne, Jay, Santino, Vincent, Angela, Victorya and Laura all living in one house to create a show for Fashion Week.
C'mon. Who wouldn't watch that?"
Better yet, place them all in the Big Brother House and supply them with lots of alcohol.
I just love Blayne. Not as a designer, mind you. What a nice exist interview.
Kenley - oy! Really, she should have been auf'd before Terry. What a mess. She is so immature. (Hint: Watch Blayne's exit interview about learning from critiques.)
I cannot believe what won and I think it's horrible that Terri's gone. She should have gone to Bryant Park. I it's sad that mediocre designers with the exception of Korto and Judy Noodles. Terri would have been more interesting than Suede or Joe. Ugh.
Terry's talent was over powered by her 'tude. Someone said she looked like Mrs. Obama... OMG that is so right on, there were times when she looked like she had this rage just under the surface, like Robert deNiro on crack. In one episode when she finished second (to Joe??), she just look like she was ready to kill.
Psycho Jealous Designers are good TV and scary neighbors.
Yes, the producers DO rake it in with all those phone calls. Just like American Idol, which garners millions when all the teeny boppers vote more than once!
9/11/08, 11:01 AM
I am sad to see Blaine go, not Terry though! I thought her behavior towards Keith was juvenile, she acted like a whiny baby. Although, Kenley? My gosh. What.was.she.thinking?! Ugh. That might've been the worse look on the runway last night, IMO. Hideous on many levels.
9/11/08, 11:02 AM
I felt Kenly should have gone instead of Terry. Was that just me?
9/11/08, 11:03 AM
Okay - who did the judging? The former contestants who saw the fur piece or the judges who saw the "refined" version? Neither version was from shit. Just wondering.
9/11/08, 11:06 AM
Terri goes home and Joe and Suede get to Fashion Week (even if as decoys)?????
What kind of world are we living in?
Uncle Bill, sing me a song....
9/11/08, 11:06 AM
Sure, Terri's looked like she was wearing an afterbirth as a shawl, but it was waaaaaayayayayayayay better than Kenley's.
Kenley has a sort of Santino effect going on. There's a way to be obnoxious in defending your garment that works. Crossing your arms and rolling your eyes isn't it, tho. I think it involves interrupting and yelling at Nina.
9/11/08, 11:08 AM
Blayne de Soleil will be missed, not for his designs, but for the juvenile banter he provided. It kept the workroom lighter. Maybe that was just the glow from his tan.
And while Terri's wasn't the worst one of the bottom 4, you just know there was a lot more that happened on the runway than the elves showed us last night. I was proud of her model for cracking up, but it sure pissed Terri off.
9/11/08, 11:08 AM
I personally wanted to smack Kenley for acting like a spoiled brat. She's only hurting herself and will likely be auf'd very soon. She can't handle criticism, at all. Her garment was vomit sewn together. UGLY.
9/11/08, 11:08 AM
I thought maybe Terri had a shot, but her nastiness was over the top and I was glad to see her go. I couldn't take my eyes off of the red garbage bag sleeves either.
Blaine was clearly out of his league in this competition and it was his time. I thought Stella was adorable, and having once been really hard on her, she managed an big about face in me. I would definitely watch any future show she's involved in.
9/11/08, 11:09 AM
Terri's frock... so tagic. So tasteless. That sparkly fabric is about as cheap as you can get. And don't even get me started on those "afterbirth" sleeves. I think that's why she was auf'd - she offended Nina.
9/11/08, 11:09 AM
When clowns get tumors, is this what they look like?
STILL "lol" at that one. Well done, boys. Said better than we ever could.
Agreed re: your assessment of Li'l Gollum. He really grew on me, starting with the "Lipstick Jungle" challenge, in which he displayed shocking maturity. His camaraderie with Stella was also really sweet. I want them to get together at night to fight crime.
As for Terri Whose State Of Independence Shall Be? It's ironic that the change she made after the planetarium show might have contributed to her auf'ing. I was surprised she flipped so quickly on the fur, based on her comments in interview.
One more thing: I know it's too late for this season, but I'd rather see Wesley ironing shirtless every week than a shot of that stupid Elle magazine cover with Mary-Kate Olsen. Anyone else?
9/11/08, 11:10 AM
Blayne was cute and he made awesome sketches!
9/11/08, 11:11 AM
Oh. And!
How many of you knew it was over for Terri when Nina said ...
"I. Really. HATED. This. Outfit!"
Snap.
9/11/08, 11:12 AM
"Even though Blayne started out pretty damn annoying, we were kind of fond of him by the end. He's just this clueless kid who seemed to be having quite a bit of fun throughout the competition."
===================================
True dat. I kind of warmed up to him because I thought he was basically harmless. And I think that he probably acts this way IRL, anyhow.
Very little mean-spiritedness, unlike two other designers I would have preffered to see go over him. (Well, one of them did.)
And it's amazing, the youngest designer of the bunch showed more class and maturity than the pant-maker, the Mormon, and the flower-wearing bitch ever could muster.
Ironic, indeed.
9/11/08, 11:13 AM
Teri...
you know, its never good when it looks like your model's head is being eaten by pool floats.
9/11/08, 11:13 AM
Agree about Terri. Watching the show her aufing seemed appropriate, because of all the bitchery. Someone singing "Ding dong the witch is dead" over the demise of another designer needs to watch her back - or overhead - that a house doesn't fall on them.
However, after the dust settled, and the ruby shoes removed, I realized how awful it is that Terri won't get to show at BP (even as a decoy), and how wrong it is that she never even won a single bloody challenge.
9/11/08, 11:14 AM
Diaper-licious boy we will miss you!
I loved Terri's model cracking up. HAHAHAHA
9/11/08, 11:14 AM
Kenley's was just a rehash of what she had done before. Bottom half her usual Miami print. Top half....er.....something.
Blaine was delusional if he didn't know why was Aufe'd. Oh. It was bad.
Terry...horrible behavior. But. Made a decent dress. It should have been Suade.
9/11/08, 11:14 AM
Blayne needed to go. He pretty much sent a baby on fire down the runway (like you said).
Terry, lets just say, she was being a bitch. And the first time she opened her mouth last night "Ding Dong the witch is dead" i knew she was going home.
Kenly and joe are next. for sure
9/11/08, 11:16 AM
"Ding dong the witch is dead"
PR Lesson #1:
Karma will come and bite you in the ass.
9/11/08, 11:17 AM
It is ridiculous that Terri got kicked off. The thought that Kenley, Suede, Joe, and Jerell all get to show at Bryant Park and she doesn't kind of eats me up inside.
9/11/08, 11:17 AM
Keith needs to GROW UP! I listened to his interview on another PR blog (you know THE one) and he has his head so far up his arse. Everything was about Keith. Even when given a compliment, he NEVER said Thank You. It's been months since the show was taped and Keith was still whining about no one understanding his artistic view.
Terri was still mean to him. Remember she was also mean to Suede when they were a team. She's the real mean girl!
9/11/08, 11:18 AM
Ding dong the bitch is gone the bitch is gone. Peace out Terri. Will I miss Terri? HELL NAW.
Blayne, I will miss you...kinda. Not a great designer but the dude wouldn't hurt a fly.
9/11/08, 11:18 AM
I totally forgot about Xaveria laughing last night. Love that gal!
Plus, didn't someone mention that she and Terri didn't get along anyway? She may be auf'ed next week, but I'll bet she won't be too sad about it.
9/11/08, 11:19 AM
I was really disappointed to see Blayne go home last night. Somewhere along the way he became less annoying and more... pleasantly mockable? At any rate, it was odd to look at the bottom four last night and realise he was the one that was acting the most mature. Terri was putting the blame wholly on someone else, Kenley was in complete, near violent self denial (did you see the look on her face when she'd been spared a well-deserved auf?), and Suede... well, Kors said it best on that front.
9/11/08, 11:21 AM
Terri should heed Kevin Johnn's words:
"It pays to be nice."
9/11/08, 11:24 AM
HATRED for both Kenley and Terri last night. And I thought I'd be thrilled when Blayne went but at this point he was the least of the four I thought should go.
Also, why can't Kenley design for boobs? Is she that literal?
9/11/08, 11:24 AM
"Ding dong the wicked witch is dead."
Karma is swift.
9/11/08, 11:25 AM
I agree, Terri would not have gone home if she wasn't such a heinous bitch during this challenge. And I am actually full prepared to give douche Keith a free pass - his "woe is me, I'm still reeling from my elimination" crap was annoying but he was there and ready to help. She refused to let him and then tried to blame him for not helping. Way more transparent than anything even Victorya pulled. The sad thing is, she's talented and didn't need to play the game that way. Sucks to be her. NEXT!
Blayne's was ridiculous, as you mentioned. Clown tumors indeed. I will miss him though.
I don't think Kenley should have gone home. Hers, while misguided and ugly, at least showed an attempt at being avant garde. Suede's TJ Maxx discount rack pant suit was appalling and appallingly boring for the challenge, and in Tim's Take he said they were going to put SCALES on it to represent Libra! Ugh. Utterly clueless. I cannot believe Suede is still here.
9/11/08, 11:25 AM
Finally Tim snapped back when mean girl was blowing him off. "Fine" "Don't listen to me" "FINE!"
9/11/08, 11:26 AM
All I can get out of Blayne's is that she's wearing Buster Keaton's long johns. With psychedelic tumble weeds that hit her from her right side. Maybe he was thinking of a Beatles song! Except he probably doesn't know who they are, does he?
I did like watching him and Stella and wish them the best! And at least we have the female Blayne over on Top Design to watch now.
Terri styled her model to look like Leontyne Price on purpose, didn't she? Maybe this gown could have been in a crowd scene at the Met. She hated the idea of working with Keith from the get go and so she sealed her fate. If she had given him at least a little consideration he might have given something back. I wonder if she'd finally had it with the whole PR experience by then. I hate those pumpkins on her shoulders!
BrianB
9/11/08, 11:26 AM
I agree that Terri was a beeyotch to Keith, but he was a whiny little baby, too. "Treat me gently, Terri. I'm still feeling very vulnerable." Ugh.
I don't think Terri's outfit was so horrible that she should have gone home. Why, oh, why did they not send Suede home? WHY?!?!?
9/11/08, 11:27 AM
I don't think Heidi is a rocket scientist; I think she's pretty average, but what was with all the designers talking to and about a women who has been a successful model for longer than most of them have been out of diapers. Why were they acting like she doesn't know anything?
9/11/08, 11:28 AM
Blayne went full circle: this outfit was reminiscent of his very first, the grocery store challenge. The pictures make me think of a stripper who's covered with balloons and keeps popping them as part of her act.
Boy, I remember the first episode, when Terri seemed sweet. Her personality went downhill from there. Poor Keith seems seriously depressed.
As for her dress, which sign of the zodiac is a LOBSTER?
She shoulda stuck with pants. As bad as it was, I agree it didn't scream "send me home." I think she got the ax because she was so petulant and angry. As was Kenley, but Terri's sabotaged herself by showing she didn't give a fuck about playing well with others.
9/11/08, 11:30 AM
And this thing about Kelli being "sick"...bullshit.
9/11/08, 11:30 AM
anonymous (11:13), ITA with your post.
It really is quite tragic that Terri won't get to go to BP even as a decoy. And thanks for reminding us that she never even won one challenge. That's just all kinds of wrong. I'm not saying that last night's look wasn't bad, but there was far more fug on the runway than her dress. It seems like there's something terribly wrong with this picture. Despite her penchant for being heavy on the trousers (I think it's a reflection of her own personal style preference), she would have put on a pretty damned good show at BP. Personality-wise, I don't know what happened to her. I remember from epi one how excited, cheerful, grounded and cool she was. Teri's story just proves to me that as much as we say PR is a cut above the rest, it's still very much a character-driven reality compteition show like so many of the others.

9/11/08, 11:31 AM
As soon as I saw Keith being involved in some sort of Lion outfit, I expected some sort of crazy swatch mane to go along with the dress.
Shame it didn't really happen, because it would have been funny.
9/11/08, 11:32 AM
Well , if avant-garde means stupid and ugly Blayne nailed it. Other wise he deserved to go home. This outfit is a companion piece to the first one though, isn't it. Gemini.
I must say I don't dislike Blayne. He has kind of a poigant quality that is a bit endearing.
Terri's dress looks like a costume for a low budget production of The Taming of the Shrew. What did the fur collar look like? She probably should have left it on. But I don't see how it would have made this dress any better. Maybe she shoud have stuck with pants..
9/11/08, 11:33 AM
Blayne's first and last outfits make perfect bookends to his PR tenure. They're both terrible and they demonstrate he learned nothing from the experience. But he and Stella were cute together. I was hoping she'd call him her Gay Little Grommet.
Terri may be the first contestant to have bitched herself right out of the tents at BP. She didn't have the worst look out there, but she definitely had the worst attitude and that was enough for the auf. The fact that she isn't showing at Fashion Week while Suede and Joe are must be eating her up inside. As well it should.
9/11/08, 11:34 AM
Quick question: Didn't the Duchess get the phrase "Pooing Fabric" directly from our lovely hosts? I seem to recall it being said prior to this and Elisa's fabric bowel movements.
And for what its worth, didn't Jonathan Adler steal "J'adorable" as well.
Someone please correct me if I am mistaken.

Macasism said, "There's a way to be obnoxious in defending your garment that works. Crossing your arms and rolling your eyes isn't it, tho. I think it involves interrupting and yelling at Nina."
Haha -- that's so true. At least Kenley was defending her garment, if stupidly. Terri was just insulting.
By the way, all those people who think Joe should be gone, but Terri shouldn't be: Joe has actually made a few successful looks. Terri has made a lot of half-successful looks.

Oh I did for sure. La Nina said that and I said (to my empty living room) OK, so Blayne and Terri are gone. I wonder who won?"
9/11/08, 11:35 AM
Terri and Keith - worst team ever? Nahhh - I still think that trophy splits time between Vincent and Angela's living rooms. Terri may get the smaller "worst team leader" trophy, however.
I thought top 4 / bottom 4 was an obvious split last night, but how they narrowed it down from there is beyond me.
9/11/08, 11:36 AM
terri pissed me off with her crap about stella. way to start the show. good-bye!
as for blaine, i felt kinda sorry to see him go. i guess he did grow on us!
9/11/08, 11:36 AM
Xaviera is a fantastic model. i hope someone snatches her up next week, but the way model choosing has been going this season it looks hopeless. :/ i would've liked to see through the inevitable throw down from Terri next week, though, if she hadn't been auf'd!
9/11/08, 11:36 AM
What's the deal with Heidi in that party pic? She looks like a 50-something trying to dress like she's 35.
Dark lighting, not good for Frau Seal.
9/11/08, 11:37 AM
Why is Kenley still there? That 'thing' she created was staggeringly fugly. And the lip she gave the judge, oh my.
Bitch or no, I really wanted to see Terri's Bryant Park collection.
I'll miss Blayne. He reminds me of a tan skinny Cabbage Patch kid.

On your screen caps, I think Blayne's dress looks like the faded reamins of a fourth of July float.
9/11/08, 11:41 AM
Blayne's aufing felt deserved but not malicious. Terri's aufing felt undeserved and vaguely malicious which is a tad unsettling.
Of course a Kenley aufing would have felt deserved AND malicious, and I could have TOTALLY gotten behind that.
9/11/08, 11:43 AM
clown farts
LOL!!!! That's even funnier than pooping fabric. Had to wipe a tear away from my eye just now.
9/11/08, 11:43 AM
I loved loved loved most of Terri's designs but the past few challenges she turned into a raging witch. And that turned my completely off of her.
I don't think her entry was horrible(um..Kenley's bug outfit)but she shot herself in the foot by not being able to work well with others.
I knew she was toast with her opening line on the show about Stella.
If memory serves me, I think she lives in Columbus Ohio(which is like 3 hours away from me)...if so I hope she'll open a store up there cause bitchy or not I'd still buy her stuff!
9/11/08, 11:44 AM

Seriously! Suede should really thank the fashion gods for Tia. She's been working the shit out of his craptastic garmets from day one.
If Miss Jerelldine has an inkling of common sense, she should ditch Nicole and jack Tia. That bitch is FIERCE!!!
9/11/08, 11:45 AM
The silly thing is that Keith's ludicrous shredded bits fabric aesthetic would have been perfect for some sort of avant garde lion's mane effect, maybe some sort of hood or cowl.
I would have liked to see the original roadkill version properly to see the changes Terri made.
I'll miss Blayne, but not for his designs. But he is very Seattle...
9/11/08, 11:46 AM
When I saw Blayne's monstrosity come down the runway, all I could think about was the Ghosts of Monstrosities Past (ie; Santino's turkey costume).
I said to myself, if those judges try to pull that 'point of view' bullshit out of their asses again with this one, I'm outta here.
Fortunately, the judges were sober this time.
--GothamTomato
9/11/08, 11:47 AM
Blayne's aufing was inevitable. It almost seemed like he knew it. I agree that his lightheartedness in the workroom will be missed.
Terri just seemed to combust over the last couple of weeks. Maybe the pressure of not getting the recognition she deserved for some of her better designs? Whatever the case, she brought the ugly in person and in design last night.
Leaving aside all the drama about how many are showing at fashion week, the challenge would have been much stronger if the aufed designers had an opportunity to win their way back on the show. As it was, they had no incentive to be good partners. Some of them were anyway -- Daniel, Kelly, Stella, Jennifer, Emily -- showing a laudable level of maturity and commitment to design. Some of them weren't -- Keith, Jerry, Wesley -- showing only a reprehensible all-about-me attitude. Keith in particular seemed to be actively undermining Terri. Granted, she gave him no reason to do otherwise, but he was a dark cloud from the moment they all stepped on the runway.
9/11/08, 11:47 AM
I think there was probably a fair bit of editing in the judges/designers dialogue this evening and they focused heavily on Kenley's talk-back to give off the impression she was the one to go. Then again, on the same note I think sometimes it is a case that sometimes you just have to be willing to fight for your design and a few times its been shown that the designer who is at least willing to go tooth and nail for their vision is the one who stays on while the designer who just plays it safe and takes the flak is auf.
I still think they could have just wiped the whole bottom four out in one swoop and I would have been happy.
9/11/08, 11:47 AM
As a fellow Chicago bitch, I adored Terri. I'll always love her for "ain't no one sucking on these titties". Suede and Blayne should have been gone, but alas they had to get rid of one boy and girl, and Kenley annoys the other designers too much for the producers to let her leave.
9/11/08, 11:48 AM
Poor Blayne. He's like a pet bunny: dumb, but gentle and cuddly.
I agree with other comments here. (1) How on earth did Jerrell's hideousness win? Was there just so much badness (with the exception of the Scorpio exoskeleton, which I liked) that it didn't take much to rise above?
(2) Kenley's behavior is horrifying and unprofessional. Her work is just horrifying - that dress was Alice in Wonderland mushroom-induced psychosis. It doesn't surprise me that she doesn't look at other designers' work.
(3) OK, so Terri came across as a bitch. But remember, all, that this is reality television, and we're getting an edited version, so who knows what really went down. That said, Keith (seems like) an a*****. He's already been cut, so what's his problem? And, I'm sure he could have refused to return if it was so traumatic for him. Give me a f****** break.
(4) Re our edited version of the 'real': Heidi's comment, "oooohh, that's bad!!" didn't seem to follow _at all_ from what was uttered previously.
Any thoughts?
9/11/08, 11:49 AM
Polina (Blayne's model) deserves some sort of special award for neither laughing at or flat out refusing to wear some of the crap that he has put her in.
9/11/08, 11:49 AM
Did anyone else say, "Who's that?" when Jerry Tam came out? I always forget the first to go.

And could also perhaps be applied to Kenley's outfit.
I knew Terri was going home when I saw the 2 fabrics she was pairing AND I don't think I've seen anything quite as pitiful as when Tim was waking Keith up for the runway. I'm worried about the boy. Seriously, he looks depressed !
Get him to south philly for SOME TLo therapy STAT.

My first thought when I saw Terri's dress, was Gossamer, the big red monster with the tennis shoes from the classic Bugs Bunny cartoons:
http://www.imyspacegraphics.com/images/bugs-bunny/bugs_bunnyjpg19.jpg
I really did not like those sleeves, at all.
9/11/08, 11:51 AM
Blayne baby this was your challange to win....ugh!
Okay Terri went home because her shit looked cheap that skirt was Tackalicious and her not wanting to work with Keith. However Kenley's attitude, and her lack of even trying to work in the confines of the challange ( I'm an aquarius and that outfit wasn't) was enough to send her home! By the way she didn't really "work with" Wesley because I think he hated the design too!
9/11/08, 11:53 AM
Terri created those sleeves AFTER her conversation with Christian.
PPS is a straight up JINX!!!:oD
9/11/08, 11:53 AM
By the way Terri would have stayed if she kept the faux fur!
9/11/08, 11:54 AM
I loved Terri's work and for the most part dug her attitude all season, but even I have to agree she was way out of line last night...even though her partner was a pretty big boob himself. I still don't think she deserved the aufing. Her garment was not good, no. But others were worse.
9/11/08, 11:54 AM
When I saw Blayne's model, I thought she looked like Carrie White in the shower after gym class with the mean girls throwing their mesh poufs at her instead of tampons.
9/11/08, 11:55 AM
When your mouth is writing checks that your clothes can't cash, AUF!
Terri will not find it easy to get work/contracts with all the open mocking and sneering she does.
It should have been Kenley and Terri.
9/11/08, 11:55 AM
I'm with you guys, Blaine kinda grew on you, and not in fungus like way, but a good way. He's designe's were not what I would call 'pretty' but maybe with a few more years they will be 'odd & pretty'
Terry blaming someone else. Just blaming the other person. Until she takes resposnibilty she will always be failing blaming the other guy.
Just my two cents worth.
9/11/08, 11:56 AM
TLo asked: what was last night?
Hell if I know. It felt like a bizarro episode ... old castmates, former seasons. Just a big ol' WTF all around. I'm still not convinced Keith is a leo.
9/11/08, 11:57 AM
Don't have time to read all the comments, but did anybody else think "Gouda Cheese", when viewing Terri's final garment? Maybe my stomach was thinking for me.
As for team cohesion, I don't think it was all one or the other, but from a previous challenge we already know that Terri did not work well with others, and did not know how to motivate others to help her, aside from calling their work horrible. I think Terri might be waiting some time to find financial backers, unless she can convince the money that she can delegate & work with different people.
Sid Licious, it was fun, but you do need to mature as a designer. And never, ever, never say 'Timlicious' or "Holla" ever again! You were doing kind of well with the car challenge. What happened?
On a side note: Keith comes back and all of a sudden Tim's second button is undone for his trip 'round the workroom. Coincidence? :)
9/11/08, 11:58 AM
I am sad to see little Blayne go. He became less and less annoying and more cute each episode. His design was awful and he deserved the auf, but thanks for giving us one more round of the Blayne and Stella show.
Terri's bitchery was in full bloom last night, and coupled with Keith's whine it was horrendous to watch. Worst. Team. Ever. But I certainly don't think she deserved the auf and has far more talent than many of the others still there (yes Suede, I am talking to you, although apparently you don't listen to live people).
9/11/08, 11:59 AM
Terri, in her exit interview, said that she didn't lose this challenge, it was taken from her (by Keith). She's not young - she's 39 - and she should've learned some personal responsibility by now. I'm so disgusted by her.

Agreed. That was wayyyyy edited. She probably said it about a different garment entirely. I don't know why Tim is always so enthralled with the editing skills when the edits seem so obvious.

Terri, in her exit interview, said that she didn't lose this challenge, it was taken from her (by Keith). She's not young - she's 39 - and she should've learned some personal responsibility by now. I'm so disgusted by her.
If one has not developed good character by age 39, she is in for a rough unhappy life. Always blaming others is unhealthy, and yes, worthy of disgust.

Quick question: Didn't the Duchess get the phrase "Pooing Fabric" directly from our lovely hosts? I seem to recall it being said prior to this and Elisa's fabric bowel movements.
And for what its worth, didn't Jonathan Adler steal "J'adorable" as well.
Someone please correct me if I am mistaken.
11:34 AM
Just because you read it on this blog for the first doesn't mean TLo coined the phrase or that somebody "stole" it from them. I have heard j'adorable for years from gay guys, and I'm not sure how one can have a monopoly on the phrase "pooping fabric." As if the fashion designers can't come up with their own on-the-spot impressions of fashion designs anyway without 'stealing' from a blog.

Yes, he did. And it isn't the first time The Boys From Philly have been quoted (ie; had their jokes stolen) by people on the show.
They should be listed in the credits.

I initially thought Kenley should've gone home, as well.
But then I read someone else's take: that even obnoxious & defiant Kenley defended & took credit for her design.
Terri totally threw Keith under the buss and blamed Christian for why she changed the collar. And apparently Xaviera doesn't care much for her as well, considering her attitude on the runway.
Not to mention the "ding, dong the *#@^%$ is dead" line, was totally uncalled for & unprofessional.
9/11/08, 12:13 PM
""Think out of the box, Heidi.""
This is what Blayne gets for trying to force Heidi to think.
The bitchery of Kenley, she can deal with. But thinking? That's just cruel.
--GothamTomato
9/11/08, 12:13 PM
come on give Keith a break - I thought he tried to help and Terri bitched her way over him.
Was it Keith or Tim who suggested a lrge ruffled collar instead of a fur (too literal) mane?
And I thought Kenley's (which in the previews I swore was elephant ears) with the oversized arms/shoulders and bubble bottom was a copy of that hideous 80's fabric one the judges gave the win a few challenges back - Gag then, gag now.
9/11/08, 12:15 PM
I'd snap up Xaviera! She's great! And taking her now won't generate any ill will with the other competitors.
And- as whiny as I found Keith's be gentle-I still hurt schtick, I'll just say, I give him credit for being honest and upfront about it. He let her know he was still hurting and needed some sensitivity. After how she worked with Suede, maybe he hoped it would help them get along?? Of course, she made it clear from the top that she had no intention of considering his involvement.
9/11/08, 12:17 PM
Blayne's model looked like she was wearing a giant static-y ACE bandage that attracted hundreds of loofas as she walked down the right side of the aisle at Bed, Bath and Beyond.
9/11/08, 12:20 PM
Terri irritated the crap out of me last night, but I STILL think Kenley should've been auf'd instead.
As for Blayne, I haven't really liked any of his designs. But he did make the show more fun to watch, and because of that, I will miss him.
9/11/08, 12:21 PM
I'm a Libra. Can't I sue Blayne for some defamation of character? Altho', gotta say, he did begin to grow on me...

9/11/08, 12:22 PM
Oh, dear god, Blayne, didn't anyone tell you about the worst fashion sin ever? I see "visible panty line"!! That alone earned you the "auf".
Terri - well, what a bitch. Nevertheless, it at least looked like something someone might wear. As opposed to Kenley's. What the heck was that thing?
The most bizarre part of this episode was the how utterly delusional Kenley and Blayne were about their "garments". I think they were both off their meds.

Re:Pooping Fabric
I thought it was Heidi that gave that critique to Elisa's turquoise dress in the first challenge of S4.
Also didn't Laura B. say to Michael in S3 during the Miss America challenge, Be carefull where you place the rhinestones (on the back of the dress) we don't want her to look like she's pooping rhinestones. ?

I'm curious what Terri's looked like with the fur the night before.

Miss Heather said about Keith "I'm sure he could have refused to return if it was so traumatic for him".
I don't think that's true; I'm sure they are contractually obligated to participate in these types of things. I'm sure it would have cost him a considerable amount of money to not show up.
Bailey said about Terri "She refused to let him and then tried to blame him for not helping."
Amen! He may have been whiny and annoying but he was willing to help and she refused; thus sealing her fate. Her complaining about how he disappeared for an hour and a half; exactly what difference did that make? You didn't let him do anything anyway; he was just supposed to stand there and watch you work?
I agree, Blayne turned out to be rather sweet, he just needs to grow up and get a little vision beyond the tanning bed.
9/11/08, 12:29 PM
Okay, that was the saddest elimination ever! Did you see Jarrell's face? I was an avid blayne hater at first but like most, he grew on me.
I can't believe terri made KEITH look nice. Wow, keith was an ass but man, terri takes the cake.

He wakes up every mornin',

Stitchin' and designin',

He seems to sew forever,
and time goes slowly by
Till he dreams of MaryKate O,

'Cause the moment that Blayne's sketchin’,

The moment that Blayne's sewing,
nothing is quite right
Runway is the real time,
“What the f_ck?”
Models pooping fabric,
then he’s Auf
Chorus:
You bloggers are just mourning Blayne
He played on season five and then
he made another mess again
to find an aufin' for him

Blayne takes me to the seaside
or to a tanning booth
to go
Deep basting,

Only when Blayne's with me,
I catch sunlight
Gives me melanoma,

I don't get why they judged an avant garde challenge in the dark at a party. Avant garde pieces aren't for *wearing*. I think if the judges had chosen the winner, it would have been Leanne again.
9/11/08, 12:33 PM
Blayne's outfit was ludicrious. Terri's was wretched. Although their attitudes were night and day both auf's were deserved. Terri went over to the dark side and she wasn't coming back. Her ugly attitude and anger were reflected in her work. She has no one but herself to blame for letting her anger drive her instead of creativity. If you are all closed up with anger and hostility, creativity isn't going to flow through that nastiness. She blew it.

F_cking genius!(especially with a hangover from TLounge)
9/11/08, 12:38 PM
In Blayne's exit interview, he said he'd like to see Jerrell and Leanne win. But in After the Sew, he only said Leanne. I have no idea whether that's foreshadowing or not.
9/11/08, 12:41 PM
Terri had it out for Keith from the start. When he was chosen to be her partner, instead of acknowledging him in any kind of welcoming way, she turned her back to him, rolled her eyes, and shook her head. She sabotaged her own outfit. She is solely to blame. I was glad that MK and FC had no sympathy for her attitude.
9/11/08, 12:41 PM
I can't believe that Terri is still blaming Keith for her losing; talk about delusional. Unless there is something we didn't see, she didn't let him do a thing so he couldn't possibly be responsible for that.
9/11/08, 12:42 PM
Indeed (as Tim Gunn would say) - I WON!!!!!!
9/11/08, 12:42 PM
From the get go, Terri was just being a BITCH. Commenting that Stella is a witch? Come on!
And I grew up in a very passive aggressive environment (South Dakota), but WOW!!! Terri and Keith ... I've NEVER experienced that type of PA before EVER.
So, peace out, Terri. :)

I will miss our little Blayne du Soleil-he did rather grow on me. He and Stella did make a very cute team.
But his Libra creation-IIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!MYEYESMYEYESMYEYES!!!!!! It was truly hideous.
As for Terry, I thought that she got the auf partially because of her attitude toward Keith. didn't the Dutchess or Costa tell her that she has to be able to work with others to be successful?
Voodoo Princess in Hell-MyGod, but Ms. Kors is in rare form this season!
9/11/08, 12:57 PM
Absolutely agree on ALL points on Terri, boys. couldn't have said it better myself and I had reservations on the TerriLove Train to BP! Bad form Terri, bad form.
Keith was whiny but he really was trying to help. I think I would have buggered off to sleep in the lounge as well since every time he asked if he could help, she was horrid.
She didn't deserve the Auf for the dress but for her attitude? Sayonara. I don't hate her. I just think she imploded and took anyone within a 2 feet radius with her. She SHOULD have made it to BP - she can blame herself for not keeping it together long enough to get to the finish line.
Terri - I hope you are friends with Korto cuz you can learn a lot from her.
I can't believe Suede is still around after last night's disaster of a design.
Blayne's was just horrible and I am surprised Stella didn't do better here with advising him. If anyone, I would think Barbarella would have been more than comfortable with the avant garde challenge. His design was a joke and I couldn't stop giggling watching it on the runway. Bad bad bad. He did grow on me when he stopped with the Licious somewhat but you're right, he didn't have the skills to make it far on the show.
9/11/08, 12:58 PM
Keith was whiny, but I think he would have made an effort for Terri if she was civil to him. I had thought Terri was on her way to BP, but have to admit I was happy to see her go.
So where can I pick up a copy of Bill's songbook?
I'm another one that's gonna have that song stuck in my head all day.
9/11/08, 1:00 PM
wimple said: I felt Kenly should have gone instead of Terry. Was that just me?
==================================
Hmmm. I disagree respectfully. Kenley was HORRID too. And her design was a bit of a joke as well but it was better than Terri's. In my opinion. I probably would have sent Suede home instead of Terri actually. But again, I can't disagree with the decision cuz Terri was just truly horrible last night.
9/11/08, 1:01 PM
I thought Kenley's piece looked funny in an intentional way. Terri's just looked dull and foolish. Blayne's was truly ghastly. It's a shame Terri behaved so badly, because she has some talent and deserved to show at Bryant Park more than any of the guys remaining. (The outfit Daniel ghost-designed for Joe shows he belonged there too.)
Thanks,
Dale.
9/11/08, 1:03 PM
I think Terry left, in part, because on last night's team challenge and on the past one she did with another designer (was it Joe or Daniel?) she showed she doesn't work or play well with others. And you have to be able to work with others when you are a designer.
Blayne should have left long ago. It was his time.
And they should have thrown a third elimination in there - which could have gone to "MicroFiber" or "Mean Girl."
9/11/08, 1:05 PM
Terri's was pretty bad - not as bad as the other 3 though.
Kenley's and Blaynes were some SERIOUS ugly.
Especially Kenley's.
I mean
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?
And she was defending it like it was the best of the 4 on the runway - and it really wasnt.
She deserved the auf.
Even with Terri's bitchiness to a "bitchy himself" person.
I'm gonna get so pissed if Kenley keeps making that stupid 50's style dress like she does everyweek.
9/11/08, 1:05 PM
Also - as obnoxious as Kenley was - she took ownership for her garment. Even though she's delusional =)
Terri started out by saying "there's no team, just me" (or something to that effect) then when she was getting ripped on the runway, she blamed Keith cuz he left for an hour and a half.
She gave Keith no direction at all. She was thoroughly unprofessional and the results in the end showed it. I think if she had been less ANGRY and more calm, she may have utilized the extra pair of hands much better. If she didn't want Keith to be part of the design concept, then fine. But at least use him to help with the garment!
PLUS Keith suggested at Mood that she shouldn't use faux fur. She disregarded him. But when one of the designers said that the fur collar was tacky, she ditched it. A blatant bias against Keith for no real reason.
9/11/08, 1:06 PM
Oh Bill, I look forward to more songs! I'm having a serious 80s flashback now.

I did enjoy that 2 second shot of Wesley immensely =) And also just seeing him on the show again, he is SO ADORABLE. I can look at him all the live long day =)
9/11/08, 1:12 PM
If only the work was being evaluated, Terri would have survived; other designers did worse. But apparently the judges got wind of her past behavior and her treatment of Keith as a leper sealed her fate. Karma hard at work.
Apparently Jerell's look had numerous (a dozen?) fabrics and trims on the jacket and still looked pretty good. This may have been what impressed the prior season designers and cinched his win.
As for Leanne, I think she had one of the top looks, but I think the producers would try to dissuade the judges from making any designer a three-in-a-row challenge winner.
And I'm singing along with the chorus on Blayne and Stella; they both drove me up the wall at first, then they evolved into such likable characters that I was truly sad to see them 'auf.
Thank G*d for TLo's screencaps; some of those garments whizzed past so fast that all I remember is a blur of color.
And Naugahyde at Bryant Park? I'm still shaking my head...
9/11/08, 1:13 PM
I personally find that Kenley, Blayne and Terri all suffered the same basic problem. They didn't exploit their help to their best advantage in 1 form or the other. Blayne and Kenley strike me as rather immature. They both have a lot to learn being young. They were so fixated on their designs they were not listening to differeing opinions. I wonder if that was why Stella did not do more to calm down the design. She knew likely the mess it was going to be as much as she hated the idea of his aufing. Wesley didn't seem to even try to help Kenley.
Terri clearly hated the idea of working with Keith and didn't even use him for an extra pair of sewing hands. She really should have used his input since he said early on he hated the idea of a fur collar and that it looked cheap. What's more his design POV would probably have helped create a true avant garde design. She should have at least swallowed her pride and asked Keith that morning to help her salvage the dress.
Yes Keith was whiny but it was actually only 2 days earlier and not 2 weeks that he got tossed off and we all saw how hard he took it.
Ironically as the weeks went by I found Terri exhibiting the same desperate desire to get to BP as Keith did. Think back to that look she gave Joe when he won, the impatience and passive agressive behavior she exhibited during team challenges and the comments by Jerrell and Stella about her character.

9/11/08, 1:14 PM
So Terri had two team challenges and she utterly failed both. Whereas Kenley, nasty whatever that she is, apparently is a decent team lead and was (after a rough start) cooperative as an assistant.

The thing with Terri is, if she can't manage one assistant, what's she going to do with $100,000 other than pay herself to be a one-person shop? (In other words, a win would have let her do Leanne is already paying the rent doing without PR seed money.) You don't have to be Jerrell-level easy-to-work-with to be the boss, but you do need to know how to delegate and work with other people it seems that Terri doesn't.

As soon as I saw Keith being involved in some sort of Lion outfit, I expected some sort of crazy swatch mane to go along with the dress.
It would have been a helluva lot more interesting, if it had.
I'm so glad Terri is gone. I realize that she started getting the bitch edit, but she was also vulgar without being witty, and that is simply inexcusable. And I didn't like her designs, either.

terri dosen't get along with anybody. Its was apparent with Suede, obvious with Keith, and jerell and stella said they don't trust her. Jerell mentioned she had only 4 patterns. Whch she did and she sing that song about stella, clearly is not the witch but maybe she was singing about herself. Joe was right terri is a one trick pony. Her clothes were always middle of the road and she gets along with nobody.
Go home biatch. Your an evil mess.
9/11/08, 1:31 PM
I almost felt badly for Blayne. If anything was delusional, it was that costume. But then, he opined that MK Olson is a fashion legend, so what can one expect? I agree with whoever said it first, he needs about 5 years under his belt.
Keith did himself no favors in this episod. If I were a hiring manager, he'd be poison after the attitude and stunts he pulled.
But then there was Teri. If Keith was poison, she would be plutonium. I would not touch her with a 20 foot pole and full lead-lined hazmat suit. She was just plain nasty. Not fun. Not good. Just nasty.
9/11/08, 1:34 PM
Blayne turned out to be a much more interesting and talented contestant than the character he was playing at the beginning of the show ever hinted at. He's actually quite sweet and funny. While he lacks maturity as a designer, his garments are interesting and he does have the talent to execute them well. A moment that I'll always remember about Blayne happened in episode 5 when he was paired up with Leanne. He told the judges that if they were to choose him or Leanne to leave the show, it should be him as he was the one who took the lead on the design. That was cool.
It was time for him to go. This last garment was horrible but I think he was an excellent choice for the show and am very interested in following his career.
9/11/08, 1:35 PM
Did you notice Terri's exit interview? She said "I didn't lose Bryant Park. It was taken from me by someone who didn't care."
So now she is blaming Keith for her auf'ing.
Ding dong the witch may be dead, but it wasn't Keith who pushed the house on her.
smfdoc
9/11/08, 1:39 PM
From the start, Terri was one of my favorites and I would grouse when she didn't make it into the top three or when I thought she should have won. But the last couple of weeks, I haven't cared about her work (forget the behavior), because she wasn't designing she was constructing. This is a competition for a fashion designer not a tailor. It is about having a point of view and bringing that to your designs. Pants is not a point of view. She made it this far because of great construction skills and no risk taking.
I honestly think if she had let Keith help her, or keep her mouth shut about him on the runway, she would have made it through. But the judges know you have to work with others to make it in the business and she showed she had major problems in that department.
Sorry, off the soapbox.
PS Did anyone else think her dress looked like a costume for Eddie Murphy's Coming to America?
9/11/08, 1:42 PM
Terri deserved the auf, and not just for her atrocious attitude. Her work has NOT been brilliant, just, usually, the least offensive on a runway of awful. It's been consistently mundane. At least even Suede seems to be trying to learn from the feedback, and has produced some glimmers of originality.
My favorite moments in a hot mess of an episode:
Kenley's meltdown, Part II: Maybe, just maybe she's cracking up because she's realized that she still has things to learn, and her hyper-defensiveness is coming from the last scraps of a shredded ego. She's talented, and not stupid, by a long shot. Maybe she'll come out on the other side willing to listen to advice?
Team assignments: Gracious and professional reunions (with the glaring exception of Terri) from the remaining designers. The looked as if they genuinely had missed their original "litter-mates".
Emily and Leanne working together. The girls were just having scads of fun!
The Dutchess commenting on Suede's use of third person "he isn't good enough for that, yet".
The look on Heidi's face when Blayne told her to "think out of the box". Heidi: "Boxes, what boxes? We haf boxes?"
Jerell winning: I don't know why he won, but maybe it was a "Miss Congeniality" prize, disguised. Well done, for whatever, cute boy.
Tim snarling "Fine. Don't listen to me." to Kenley.
9/11/08, 1:42 PM
"wimple said...

9/11/08, 1:51 PM
How can ANYONE say Kenley should have gone home with the piece of shit that Suede made up there on the runway? Tacky, dated, cheap, and most of all DULL. It was a normal outfit. Kenley's may not have looked Aquarius, but at least the attempt at avant-garde was there. Suede designed normal, wearable clothing. It wasn't avant-garde at all and no one would think "Oh, Aquarius" or whatever had they not known what the challenge was. Auf auf auf auf auf with his head! Terri is a bitch but she was head-and-shoulders (and maybe even torso and knees)over Microfiber.
-Dianne ;)
9/11/08, 1:51 PM
Nothing was Avante Garde about this show. I was really longing for Christian and Sissy Bear.
Kenley's outfit was Alice Lost in Wonderland. I think she may be stuck there herself. While she is annoying, I don't think she's mean and I look forward to seeing what she shows at Bryant. It might be all quilt and patchwork, but it will be interesting.
Terri wins the "Bitch You're Goin' Down" award this season. I was done with her last challenge she designed yet another pant suit.
She might be good at that, but it doesn't show much range. There was no helping that dress. I'm glad she's gone.
I will miss Blayne de Soliel because he had this pied-eyed innocense that only youth will bring to the competition. His departure was inevitable but he was just too much fun!
9/11/08, 1:54 PM
That dear Blayne. Probably the sweetest of the bunch. But that garment was the worst in PR history.
I was hoping for a dramatic confrontation with hair pulling. With Terri and Stella gone that may not happen. Someone needs to set Kenley straight so maybe there is still the opportunity.
9/11/08, 2:01 PM
Blaine's design was wrong on so many levels. I was so hoping that he'll stay a bit longer after last episode. I saw a glimmer of hope that he could produce something more tailored and clean, yet still him. However, that outfit is totally unforgiving. Nice knowing you, Blaine.
As for Terri's, I thought it was like a costume. I kinda wished she utilized the fur in a different manner to make it work. Those red sleeves did not go at all. They were like swimming floaties. And all that drama with Keith was unnecessary. However, I wouldn't think he would brought much to the table. After all, his taste is far more questionable than Terri's and his craftsmanship is hardly up to par throughout his time there. It was prety much doomed from the start.
I was so hoping Kenley was going to be aufed since hers did not echo the challenge as well as Terri's. At least Terri really drew some inspiration from Keith's sign. I didn't see any relation to Aquarius with Kenley's. I didn't like how she denfeded herself up on the runway when it is clear as day that her outfit wasn't innovative, let alone different from what she usually does. Sometimes, she just got to listen and take the criticism to her advantage. Otherwise, she's totally going to fail.
9/11/08, 2:01 PM
Kenley is starting to remind me of those poor hapless women on "What not to Wear" and "How Do I Look?" who put on their horrid little outfits and go "What's wrong with it? I think it's cute?"
Except whinier.
9/11/08, 2:07 PM
While Terri showed herself to be classic rhymes with witch, I still don't think she should have been aufed over Suede. I'd much rather see what she'd come up with for Bryant Park.
What I don't understand is why the judges weren't ripping Suede for a cheap and tacky look as much as they were Terri. Satin pants wrinkled at the crotch and wrapped around the ankle. Ugh. Not a good look in the 80s and not a good look now.
9/11/08, 2:09 PM
From the quick glimpse in the preview, I can't wait to get a better look at Jerell's hat!
9/11/08, 2:09 PM
I think Terri sewed up her bitch pants just a little too tightly this season. On the one occasion she didn't wear them, all hell broke loose.

I guess I'm in the minority here. I think Terri was very mild with Keith, because what he deserved was to be THROWN OUT OF AN UPPER STORY WINDOW. He's a self-pitying dipshit, the most useless of all human types. And didja notice? He did that thing again -- where he had suggestions when TIM asked him that he never once mentioned when it was just Terri.
I also kind of liked Terri's garment. It was nowhere near aufable. She got nailed because she couldn't work with her partner -- but WHO COULD?
"I'm still a little fragile here". God! Die, Keith, die!

i believe that terri was aufed more for her attitude & refusal to be a team player than for her design -- it really wasn't nearly as awful as kenley's, however "esmerelda-ish".... i agree with many of the other posters that while keith was no picnic, i believe that if terri had treated him with respect and appreciation he would have rallied to help. i don't blame him for walking away. she does have design talent, and i would have loved to see her at bryant park, but i don't feel sorry for her at all. she sealed her own fate with her nasty demeanor. both she and keith are going to have a rough go of things if they expect to make it in the design world. neither is so talented that they can get away with shitty behavior, and not too many investors are going to be anxious to hand over funding to them if they can't work with and keep a staff to keep a business running....

Hey TLo, can we start a "Shatangi" award?
9/11/08, 2:37 PM
Some observations:
- Terri works for Victoria's Secret in Columbus, Ohio. Thats a big place that requires team work. She said she didn't want to go back to her job, but can you imagine having too do so after the performance she has given.
- I was thrilled to see Kelly back. Kelly lives in Columbus, Ohio, too. Apparently quickly becoming the center of the Auf'd universe.
- While Suede's outfit wasn't the most imaginative, nor advant guarde, it was something that was wearable - which is a huge change from some of his "frocks".
- Joe's outfit looked a lot like the one that got Daniel auf'd. And why was Daniel so cooperative with Joe, but not Kelly?
- Leanne's design was very Lady Scorpio - I've never met one that didn't positively quiver with energy - and might be the most accurate representation of a sign.
- Yeah, like many of you, I didn't get Jerrell's at all, but, as MK says in his blog, the differnt pieces might be put together in quite attractive fashion. I thought from the Tim visit that it was a short skirt - I think that might have been more successful.
- Blayne, oh Blayne - grow up and come back and try again!

I hated Keith but I gotta disagree. Kenley managed to work well with him, even though they had disagreements. He is self-pitying, but he wasn't the one making snide "He can count the pins" comments and basically ignoring his partner. Who wouldn't have walked away from that? He was already out, he had no real incentive to stand there looking stupid, doing nothing, while Terri barked shit constantly.
I also think you are mistaken about the "not giving his opinions until Tim comes around" thing. Joe did that earlier, but Keith never did.
9/11/08, 2:56 PM
You all are just too kind. I never warmed up to Blayne because he was just so darn stupid and totally unaware of the world pre-1990. He didn't do a single design that was worthy of this show--and this abomination really proved that he is Clue.Less.
From the first minutes of last night's episode, when Terri was dancing around the apartment singing about Stella, "The witch is dead!" I was done with her. She's 'way talented, but she's also a stone bitch.
Kenley? Brat-o-rama!
Geez--is there anyone to vote for for fan favorite besides the wonderful Stelllllllaaaaaa?
Not PR's best bunch. Not by a long shot.
9/11/08, 3:11 PM
Nope fnarf you are not alone on this one-I am in total agreement with you. Okay so Stella lovers are saying Terri has a bad tude so she deserved to be auffed but Jeffery S. that whiny, bitchy, rude, ugly clothes making lizard can be rude and evil to someone's mother on national tv and win the whole dam show. Ri-dam-diculous. Folk act like Keith wasn't a whiny azz bitch to begin with...Give me a break. There is no way Terri deserved to be auffed over Suede-it just goes to show that shit was personal and its very telling that she is perceived as more evil than the swamp monster who made the ugliest clothes in PR history outside of Blayne's last outfit.
9/11/08, 3:17 PM
9/11/08, 3:18 PM
I finally made myself watch Terri's exit interviews and man, that whole thing about Stella and the pants comment was completely incomprehensible. Rivalry over who makes the best pants? See Chris March: "It's just two sleeves sewed together."
9/11/08, 3:19 PM
Stella Miss Her,
And why was Daniel so cooperative with Joe, but not Kelly?
When Daniel worked with Kelly he botched the skirt on the first attempt and she made him feel incompetent. He doesn't seem to be good at carrying out other people's designs and he doesn't work well under pressure. With clueless Joe he got to take the lead in the design even though Joe was allowed to take credit for it, and the pressure was off. It's ironic, considering how rude Joe was to him over "taking his machine", that Daniel would help Joe get to show at Bryant Park, but Daniel doesn't seem to be vindictive and made the most of an opportunity to design a good dress. Too bad he can't design Joe's final collection for him.
Thanks,
Dale.

Uhhhh, that didn't even seem to be Fnarf's argument. He didn't say anything about Terri deserving or not deserving to be thrown off, he just said that the friction was Keith's fault, not Terri's. And as much as I hated Jeffrey too, his clothes were nowhere near "the ugliest in PR history." Bitter much? (And yes, Suede should have gone home over Terri.)
9/11/08, 3:48 PM
I am happy the Terri is gone. I hated her attitude.
I felt Kenly should have been gone as well.
All bad attitude should have been Auf!
Blaine - that was some kind of ugly! Sorry that should have been done differently and I think you realize that now. He has a good attitude he should have stayed!
However it not about attitude its about the runway.
9/11/08, 3:49 PM
I think that diaperlicious Blayne had the fugliest most aufworthy design ever seen on PR.
Little Miss Defensive Kenley probably should have been aufed instead of Terri. Her dress was the weirdest costume.
Terri was out of control nasty, worse than Witchtoria last season. I used to like Terri and her work, but she is one nasty competitor. Keith was never one of my favorites, but the way she treated him was appalling.
9/11/08, 4:10 PM
At first I was pulling for Terri since she lives in my city but that changed as she started getting meaner as the show progressed. Plus, she dosn't play well with others. I know this is fashion and that creative personalities often clash but she should have really sucked it up and worked with Kieth even though she didn't like him personally. I think that was the real reason why she was auf'ed. Kenley better be careful because she's falling into the same vibe and she could be next because of her poor attitude. Shame really because I liked Kenley in the beginning.
I loved Keith's Lion King comment about her gown because he's right. I just saw the show and the only thing that was missing from Terri's dress was a Lioness Head Hat and you've got Simba's mother all over.
9/11/08, 4:34 PM
Terri had me ready to scream with the way she treated Keith. Not that he was a dream partner or anything, but I didn't blame him for walking off one bit. Nasty nasty nasty. And not in a fun, dirty way.
When Terri's model laughed, I just wanted to throw my arms around her and hug her until her eyes bulged (just a little, not a lot). I also kind of wanted to hold her close just in case Terri started trying to cut someone. If looks could kill!!!
Blayne. It was bad. Just...so...bad. Out of the box had nothing to do with that mess. Unless he meant someone's guts spilled out of the box and onto the design table.
As goofy and annoying as Blayne started off, he wasn't terrible. He wasn't mean. He was just Blayne. I'm going to miss him a little. Like I miss the puppy that peed and pooped all over the house just before we had to have it (compassionately) put down for some horrendous disease.
9/11/08, 4:34 PM
My god! What are those on Terry's gown? Floaties?!
9/11/08, 4:44 PM
Kenley's dress wasn't pretty, but it was vaguely avant garde, and I like the fact that she's stands up for herself. In his exit interview, Daniel explained that when she laughed while he was talking on the runway she prefaced it by saying "I just love him," which was cut out in the editing. And you have to admit that the boob conversation with Heidi and her model was hilarious.
9/11/08, 4:50 PM
Putting aside all the personality issues, the judges made the right decision.
There is no way that Suede's outfit was worse than Terri's. I thought his was kind of cute, nothing avant-garde about it of course. Kenley's had a spark of interest to it, I loved the leather bustier bit and the skirt was fab... but Terri's... that was truly a sad, tragic, bargain bin cheap-o disaster. Did you see the hem on that thing? It looked like one of Beyonce Knowle's mother's show designs - only worse. That poor model. She looked truly embarrassed to have to wear that thing on the runway.
9/11/08, 5:22 PM
As obnoxious as Terri was, I really don't think that had anything to do with her being auf'd. The judges: as most recently according to Laura Bennett, don't have a clue as to what goes on behind the scenes. While Terri may have said she was flabbergasted by the comments, she definitely didn't give the Kenley-esque attitude to the judges. That said, the judges DO tend to penalize teams that don't work well together...which I find a little disingenuous since we all know the Duchess and his fellow fashionistas alike would be off with someone's head, especially an assistant's, if they gave him attitude.
Terri was auf'd for designing a gown with cheap looking fabric. Nina would've given it the pass if it weren't for that chintzy gold lame knit nightmare that she made the skirt out of...THAT to me was the irony! All the bitching and moaning about her doing pants all the time and the moment she returns to the skirt SHE'S AUF'D!
Kenley was FUGLY but showed avante-garde effort. Suede's was FUG and was also BORING as hell. HE should've been sent packing!
9/11/08, 5:34 PM
Frankly, I'm generally happy to see whatever the contestants put together for BP, even if I didn't like the contestant's work as a whole on the show. Why? Because the bizarre constraints of the challenges don't always seem to be the best indicator of the abilities. I think about Kara Saun, S1. Loved a lot of what she did on the show, but the BP collection was derivative and alot was ugly over worked leather. Over Dan V, S2. With Tim, his stuff on the show was interesting. His collection was nice sportswear basics and bizarre dresses with odd flaps on them. And who can forget Michael/Mychael's fab work on the show and his slutwear on BP??
having said that, I suspect there may be some really unexpected stuff from whomever shows- delightful and distressing.
9/11/08, 5:43 PM
OK TLo, what's the deal with tomorrow? The show starts at 9:00 AM, are you coming straight back to Philly or hanging out? I guess the bottom line is when can we expect news (my refresh key needs a break)? Demanding and addicted kittens wanna know.
Smooches.
=^..^=
9/11/08, 5:48 PM
I hereby lift the "mean girl" epithet from Kenley's head and redub her "rude girl". I think she suffers from some type of insecurity that makes her overdefensive and loud (best defense is a good offense). Plus, not only does she take credit for her work, she defends it and does not blame others.
Terri.... Let's just say I have not seen any interesting innovation from her. She makes classic trousers, blazers and floaty tunics, a talented tailor perhaps. She sews fast. I would buy her clothes and wear them, they have a broad appeal. But they are safe.
But she is also a mean, vindictive and a jeering bitch. I thought Korto was going to kick her in the head while she was rolling on the floor mocking her awesome seatbelt coat in the Saturn challenge. She can't take responsibility for her own behavior and honestly, I know at least four designers in that group that would have worked very well with Keith and turned out a fantastic design all while being kind and sensitive. She can't work with anyone and can't handle any criticism or suggestions. Egomaniac?
I did not appreciate the Stella trash talk. She clearly needs to dump on other people to make herself feel better.
If Rami had treated Allison Kelly like that in a team challenge, this place would be in an uproar.
I like LeeAnn and Jerrell and Korto for the top 3.

Really, watching the bottom four finally get the criticism that most of them managed to escape all season was kinda satisfying. I would have been happier if they just axed them all last night: two for bad attitudes and two for consitently bad outfits and one (again) for noted annoying third-person references.
That would have made for better television.
9/11/08, 6:28 PM
9/11/08, 7:21 PM
I liked Terri so much until I watched her exit interview. That dress was a low class mess that she designed, constructed and sent up the runway. The idea that anyone took Bryant Park from her is absurd.
The judges realized that Terri does not need the 100K, not when she can blame other people for her failures for free.
9/11/08, 7:28 PM
Uh Teddy G-connect the dots, I was agreeing with fnarf on his/her feelings regarding the way Terri treated Keith-AND I was commenting on my OWN about the rest of the posters who felt she deserved to be auffed because of her attitude. Yes Jefferey's clothes were the ugliest ever and No he did not deserve the win. Why the snark, what are you his uncle?
9/11/08, 7:41 PM
I have a DVR so I skipped thru the commercials so I almost missed the fan favorite vote ad. Text 27286 with the name of your favorite designer. It costs $.99!!! I swear to God, the producers don't spend any money on this show other than lodging and food for the cast and crew. They are raking it in! But vote for Stella!!!!!

I expect the reason Laura B. and Chris M. weren't asked to judge is that they have both been on the show already this season, Laura as a judge. And, of course, we don't know who was asked and declined the invitation!
9/11/08, 7:53 PM
I can't recall every seeing such an all out disaster on the show. I mean there's been bad ones, but Blayne's outfit looked like a high school project made by teens on a Friday night when they were all under the influence. Baaaaad!
Sorry to see Terri blow it so phenomenally. It's true -Keith doesn't have the design nor the sewing skills, but then surely she's worked with people like him before?
As for Kenley, she's l'enfant terrible of this season. Any of these designers could shoot back a comment or two to the judges. But what's the point? Someone doesn't like what you do, someone gives you a reason why, then you take it in whether or not you disagree with it. I thought her outfit looked like a giant MR PEANUT laying across the model's shoulders.
Loved Joe's dress. I just hope he starts showing some life around the judges.
9/11/08, 7:59 PM

9/11/08, 8:14 PM
Okay, maybe I'm insane, but, you know, I actually liked Blayne's outfit, and I think that if he just had the arm bit, and edited out the leg protrusion (particularly, the pieces near her bum), that it would have been terrific and could have even been in the top. The boy defended his design well (much better than "REBELLIOUS, QUIRKY, PURPLE!!!!!" Kenley), and you could interpret his design as Libra knowing the challenge. It had the tipping of the scales, while being strict and balanced.
Or maybe I'm just bitter that they took Stella and Blayne away from us in back-to-back weeks. :(
9/11/08, 8:35 PM
When voting for Fan Favorite on the website, why do they ask for your cell phone number? I'm confused - I've never done the weekly questions thing and I don't wanna get a huge cell phone bill.
9/11/08, 8:35 PM
I thought Korto should have won.
I have always liked Kenley but a HUGE WTF to her design last night. Omg. It was just....awful. I am going to kick her ass if she screws around and lets Suede get into the top 3. Ugh. At least he didn't talk about any dead relative this week.
And Terri's rant on Stella- karma's bitch, huh.
9/11/08, 8:43 PM
So, for those of you defending Terri against others who say Keith deserved what he got, a few questions:
If you were in that position, would you have refused to let him work on your garment in what is designed as a team challenge?
Having done so, would you then have claimed on the runway that your partner "abandoned" you (as Terri did)?
And in interview after the show, would you then have blamed the partner who never touched the garment for keeping you from BP (as Terri did)?
Just wondering.
9/11/08, 8:51 PM
Blayne's was clearly the worst thing on the runway last night. And that is saying A LOT. But Kenley's dress was a drunk drag queen minnie mouse whose boobs migrated south for the winter. I can't believe that she was safe before Suede. Sure Suede's outfit was not the most avante garde thing in the world, but at least it had taste and looked pretty.
9/11/08, 8:56 PM
Blayne and Stella: on their own, I don't care about them. But together, I love them and want them to rent an apartment together and watch what happens. It'd be rad.
9/11/08, 8:58 PM
Also, was it just me, or did it feel like the aufed designers were coming back from the dead? It was creepy.
'Designers of episodes past'.

C'mon. Who wouldn't watch that?
9/11/08, 9:14 PM
Terri's dress looks like a walking version of the neon entrance to the Flamingo Hilton in Las Vegas.
As for her attitude, I think we're going to have to wait for the DVD and see; remember how LB said her interaction with Keith was edited so it appeared like he was arguing with her and she said, "Excuse me?" when she really just wanted him to stop mumbling? I can't help but wonder how much manipulation took place in how Terri was presented in this challenge. Granted, her comments about Stella were uncalled for. But if Kenley had received the auf instead of Stella, and Terri had said "Ding dong, the wicked witch is dead" of Kenley, would we really belabor this point so much?
9/11/08, 9:14 PM
I disagree about Terri's bitchiness. I don't think Keith had any intention of helping her or anyone else; I think he came back solely to attempt to garner sympathy. Bleh, and he still has a rat tail. Congrats to Jerrell, everyone seemed truly happy for him when he won. And I will joing the Blayne fans; he's basically harmless, enjoyed the ride, and stuck to his aesthetic (whatever that may be!) And LOL at Nina cracking up over "Grand Coutourier 3rd Person Lingo"!
9/11/08, 9:24 PM
I'd still like to know what happened between Stella and Terri because last week Stella said she didn't trust Terri and this week, well, we saw Terri's reaction. When two basically nice people - Stella and Jerrell - say Terri is not to be trusted, something clearly went on in the workroom.

Keith came back solely because he was required to. And it was only a couple days after he was aufed. Of course he still had the rattail.

I just love Blayne. Not as a designer, mind you. What a nice exist interview.

Don't go hatin' on Heidi, now!

Terry's talent was over powered by her 'tude. Someone said she looked like Mrs. Obama... OMG that is so right on, there were times when she looked like she had this rage just under the surface, like Robert deNiro on crack. In one episode when she finished second (to Joe??), she just look like she was ready to kill.
