Crying On The Inside
This week the designers have to create a "fashion-forward editorial look," which is completely meaningless. So let me put it another way. "Nina wants something pretty." And here are her rules: No red carpet looks. No t-shirts & no pants. No gowns. "The look needs to be bold in the color, in the shape, in the print, in the silhouette, in something, because that's what editors will want to photograph." Unfortunately, the losing designer breaks one of those rules. But so does the winner.
Here are the 5 most memorable moments.
1. DUETS FROM HELL
"I had all I could take, and let's just say, I now have this special Richard souvenir"
The five remaining designers get extra special help this week ... from the discarded designers. Um ... yay? Stanley is brutal to poor Tu, turning him into his own personal Veedenfrugen (my undying love to whoever gets that reference). Meanwhile, a still Zombified Richard is brought in to help Patricia, but I'm not sure which of the two has it worse.
2. THESE ARE SAFE
Yes, Daniel's tribute to The Bugaloos, and Patricia's fringe nightmare were safe, meaning that the judges thought they were better than ...
3. MICHELLE'S FABOO DESIGN
Michelle had the best look of the night, but apparently she broke Nina's cardinal rule about "no shirt & pants." Fair enough, I guess. But didn't winner Stanley also technically create a shirt and pants?
4. SAY WHAT?
After Heidi tells Patricia she's safe, Michelle awaits her inevitable auf'ing. But it doesn't come. Instead, Heidi tells her she is going home, but she's going to have ... one more chance to redeem herself ... or something. But she doesn't know what that means yet. A stunned Michelle leaves the stage and heads back, where we get ...
5. THE GREATEST MOMENT OF THE SEASON.
Michelle tells the other designers that she's not out yet, and they all heave a phony sigh of relief, with Patricia giving her an unwilling bear hug. As the others approach to do the same, Michelle recoils in horror and says, "I really don't want to be touched right now." Love. Her.
So next week, all of the designers (sans Michelle) get to fly to different countries for inspiration. As for Michelle, who knows? But if they don't find some way to bring her back, while keeping Daniel and Patricia, well, I wouldn't be surprised.
