Hello Project Runway Recap peeps! We are supposed to be down to six designers, but Christian used his Siriano Save to keep Brittany from going home. Was It worth it? We shall see…. I’m flying solo (well I’m with Lucky Lucy the dog) as is Les over at her place. Super C had schoolwork to do. I know that it is inconceivable that this is not more important, but these young people have their priorities all wrong! Oh and can Alan come back for color commentary? Please?
Brittany needs to show everyone she deserves to be here. Marquise welcomes her to the “resurrection club”. Today we have a TIE-DYE challenge. Apparently the designers get “hippies” and “summer camp” when tie-dye is mentioned. I got late eighties/early nineties dead shows when I was pretending to like them to make my future husband happy. And the smell of patchouli. Blech.
Nina comes out wearing a Prada tie dye shirt dress. She can rock it because she’s Nina. And it’s Prada. I personally put tie-dye with acid wash in the realm of things I never need to see again, but that’s me. They have to create their own tie-dye. Two tie-dye experts (who knew?) are helping them. The designers get to work day into ALL night for this challenge. They are having a “sleepover”. I guess the camp analogy works. Les says we will be seeing some cray cray. I agree.

Model cards are dispersed and the designers head to the workroom to learn tie dye techniques. Geoffrey is not happy. He’s worried. When is he not? Delvin is overwhelmed by all the information. Brittany is taking notes. Victoria is surprisingly okay with this so far. There are lots of fabrics to choose from. Sergio is choosing silk because cotton can be dull. He never wants to be considered a “dull and dated” designer. I snort my tea on that one.
Who is In the Mood To Dye?
Geoffrey isn’t going to “over design” as this is essentially a print challenge. It looks like he’s doing a maxi dress. I’m getting Anya vibes. Marquise is doing a “girly girl” look. Nancy decides not to practice dyeing her fabrics and drape her fabric instead. Victoria’s look? I’m getting commedia dell’arte. Delvin is going simple and letting the print do the talking. It is a phoenix reference of some sort. When Victoria tells him to make sure it looks different from what he has been doing I snort my tea AGAIN. She says she is changing it up this challenge. We shall see.

Is Victoria wearing jean bikini bottoms? At Mood they have $175 to spend on supplemental fabrics. Christian is trying to guide Geoffrey before Geoffrey has a nervous breakdown. He tracks down Brittany and she shows him her prairie dress sketch. He tells her it needs to be sewn perfectly.
Old Habits Dye Hard
Back in the workroom Nancy is doing pants and hasn’t started her tie dye? Nancy is fucked. Sergio thinks the judges are afraid of him. Tea snort. Christian comes in and Brittany gives him a tie-dye shirt as a thank you for saving her. Nancy is doing a specific technique where you use ice? She was teaching refugee women how to do this in Philadelphia. That’s lovely Nancy, but Christian is FREAKING out she hasn’t dyed ONE THING. She says she wants to fit first then dye. He tells her to “get to dyeing”. Hopefully she listens. I have a bad feeling about this.
Christian is not getting fresh and exciting from Marquise’s pattern. Christian guides Geoffrey get back to his military vibe. Embrace the fabric as a “new camouflage”. He tells Brittany her to keep her shape modern. And that she owes him a heck. Snort.

Christian is hoping the juxtaposition of the two patterns Sergio has created will work together. Victoria is creating some bleached was denim and Christain is getting Brittany and Justin on the red carpet circa 2002. Christain tells Delvin to play around with his look a little bit so he doesn’t do something similar to his older looks.
Moldovian Melt Down
The models come in and everyone is not really ready. Delvin’s dye didn’t set. It is announced Lesley Jones is the judge. Love her. OMG! the designers all have sleeper onesies. Only Marquise, Brittany and Delvin are rocking them. Delvin asks Brittany for some silk so he can start over. Nancy’s actually came out SUPER cool. Victoria’s now asking for extra silk. Her dye didn’t set either. Les texts: Moldovan Meltdown. Geoffrey’s is DARK. He panics and Nancy rescues him. She tells him it will dry lighter and it does. It looks cool.

The designers are getting slap happy. At least everyone is laughing instead of crying. It’s nice to see them like this. Especially after the snark fest that happened last week. Victoria and Delvin redeem themselves in the fabric department with a new dye. Les texts that Nancy is worrying her.
Runway Day: It’s Do or Dye!
Victoria has gone outside of her lane and steered herself into a Hot Topic circa 2003. This pretty much sums up what I have thought of Victoria’s taste level all along. Seriously, what is this? Christian comes in to tell the designers it’s a flash sale challenge.
He tells Marquise he’s made an ice skater costume. Marquise doesn’t see it. I see it. Not only is it an ice skating outfit, it’s a JUNIOR ice skating outfit. Nancy bites Christian’s head off when he tells her she has made the same pair of pants and has no top. She doesn’t see it. Les and I see it. And the judges will as well.

Sergio has no message so the judges “will have no excuse not to love this look”. Yup, that’s why they have hated stuff in the past Sergio. The politics. He tells Delvin to make his a-line dress less boring. Nancy thinks her Dad’s sarcasm prepared her for dealing with Christian. She still has no top. She listened to her gut. Again. She should have listened to Christain. Again. She is draping and pinning fabric around her models torso so the model doesn’t go down the runway half naked.
Les picks Geoffrey and Sergio for the top with Geoffrey for the win. Delvin and Brittany to be safe and the rest in the bottom. She will be pissed if Nancy is sent home over Victoria. I pick Geoffrey and Sergio in the top with Geoffrey to win also. I pick Delvin, Marquise and Victoria for the bottom with Victoria to go.
Runway
I love Nancy Volpe Berrienger’s print. Hopefully judges don’t crucify her on construction or the fact that she made the same pants. Again. Getting Ibiza.
Nina thinks the tie- dye technique is impressive but wishes she had gone simpler on the top to make the look shine. Elaine thinks it is modern and elegant. She thinks Nancy reinvented her pants and it moved beautifully.The designers get closer. Uh oh. Leslie says once the headband came off the look went from basic to beautiful.
I think Sergio Guaddarrama’s fifties dress is beautifully made. It could work for an older or younger woman. Les loves this.

Leslie Jones says would have never thought it was tie-dye. She thought it looked like a beautiful fabric he picked at Mood. Elaine wants to understand his technique. I love that he explained Ombre to the former editor of a fashion magazine. She can see Meghan Makle or Michelle Obama in this dress. Sergio beams. Karlie thinks it’s a refreshing smart take on tie-dye. Brandon thinks it is chic. Nina likes the combination of the ombre and the tie-dye. She throws out the term godets to hopefully shut Sergio up before he explains what that means to her.
Geoffrey Mac for the win.
Leslie says if Geoffrey doesn’t win, he wins with her.Leslie Jones is demanding the model take off the dress and give it to her. She wants to die and come back as this dress and have the model wear her. Everyone is dying. This is effortless and fabulous. I want it. Nina loves the simplicity and the sleeves. Brandon says that so many women could wear that dress.
Victoria Cocoieru Supper hippie to the rescue! And a jean diaper. Les doesn’t even know where to begin. She says the model is wearing a valence as a shirt. Like a bad modern Gone with the Wind reference.
The Denim Diaper
Victoria tells the judges she doesn’t care for tie dye. She doesn’t care for anything. She always makes an excuses. Brandon whispers to Nina that Victoria has made a denim diaper. But to her face he says that he understands where she was going, she just didn’t get there but at least she took a risk. In Brandon’s first season he didn’t know his microphone was on when the designers were on stage. I think sometimes he just forgets. Nina says it is a mess even without the “flounce.”
Elaine thinks the model looks like she was holding a baby who puked on her. She thinks it is not Victoria. When Karlie tells her she thought she made Marquise’s look Victoria angrily exclaims that Marquise’s dress “isn’t her style.” In a moment which sums up everything I love about Leslie Jones she says “Marquise safe.”Brittany and Marquise lose it backstage. Nina tells her it is a mess. Brandon says it is a denim diaper. TASTE LEVEL. Brandon gets where she was going with pants, but it didn’t work. At least she took a risk?
Delvin McCray I just fell asleep. Les is also bored.
The judges had a lot to say about Delvin and none of it was good. Leslie Jones wanted to like it. She thought the tie dye was well done but she hated the colors. Leslie thought it made it look like a very cheap church dress. (OW!) Karlie said it was everything about tie dye that the didn’t want to see. She too hated the colors.

Poor, Delvin he really liked his tie dye colors. Brandon’s issue is the silhouette. Elaine gave the look the kiss of death when she says it looks dated. Production chimes in with a montage of all the times a judge has said that to him. OUCH! Nina says did have a grand idea.
In the end it was down to Geoffrey or Sergio. Geoffrey wins over the judges for the win. The judges decide to send Delvin home because the show is rigged of the brown buttons he used on his last minute closure. He over tailored the dress to fit and then had to do something to fix it.
Geoffrey Mac for the win. Leslie Jones is demanding the model take off the dress and give it to her. She wants to die and come back as this dress and have the model wear her. Everyone is dying. This is effortless and fabulous. I want it.

Leslie Jones said, “Those buttons made me go, Delvin! That belongs on a brown coat with a dog in it. You know the dog that Inspector Dog with the coat? That’s what where those buttons belong.” Elaine said he needed to turn up the drama and he didn’t. Nina said he was too safe and you’ve got to get to the edge where you’re scared.”
The judges said it boiled down to who they want to see a collection from. NOE IT DOES NOT! It is not the final five. It is who made the worst damn look! Delvin says he was eliminated because he was afraid to take a risk because he thought the judges might not like it. He regrets playing it safe. He says the garment is not a reflection of him or his design skills.
Note from TT: Apparently, CJ and the lovely Les had nothing to say about Delvin so that part of the recap was mine and I am NOT happy about the outcome.
Also once again we got no runway photos. I found a video on youtube where I was able to grab photos for this episode.
Victoria should have gone home for that crayfest she sent down the Runway. I am worn out with her childish pouting, high drama and pathetic excuses when things don’t go her way all the damn time. She grates my last bottle-blonde nerve.
Totally agree. Does Victoria have blackmail videos of karlie binge eating or something?????
She’s either got something or doing someone.
Agreed
This is the third time that Victoria had the worst garment, yet she gets a pass every time
I agree that Victoria should have been the one eliminated. I think Tamara is right about her. So glad Geoffrey won. I loved his dress and he pulls at my heartstrings every week. Sergio looks so much like an ex-boyfriend of mine it sort of freaks me out. He also has the ego of my ex, but I did like his dress this week.
Oh, Also that strike out about the show being rigged was me. I can’t tolerate Brandon making excuses for Victoria’s denim diaper. I was clear that he hated the look when he leaned over to Nina and made the comment. But suddenly he sees where she was trying to go? Really? Who is this woman sucking off? Is Harvey Weinstein calling the shots here or something? Something in the buttermilk ain’t clean.
Christian’s after show is really good this week at least until the hairdresser or whatever came out. Here are a few highlights.
Christian seems to have a huge crush on Delvin. How did I not pick that up on the show? He seemed mostly annoyed with him for sleeping. And yet… Christian said, “Let’s go on a date.” And. “I’m just going to leave that out there,” to Delvin who has not stated his sexual preference on the show. Christian gave him a little smile and Delvin just sort of coughed and did not respond. I would bet money they did go on a date.
Delvin trashed Nancy for doing the same pants every week and not even sewing a top for her tie dye look.
Delvin thinks Victoria is going to win. Then he rightly trashes here. He says she defeats all odds, no matter how trash the garment is, no matter what excuse she gives she’s been brought back on life support.” Sadly he is right. He seems to know the fix is in. It’s going to be another banana coronation.
Now I have to watch the after show!!
I thought Christian was married!!!
Every episode I want to hold Geoffrey’s hand or give him a big hug. So glad he won and with something so personal as an Army-influenced fabric. I was happy to hear/see that he’s getting along better with his dad. From earlier footage, I had assumed they were estranged. His whole vibe just makes me want to gather him in and prop him up and tell him, you’re good enough and you’re smart enough…
I was surprised they didn’t complain about Sergio’s styling with those white shoes. I so wanted those to be yellow or nude, or even a bright red or green.
I love how Nancy just ignores everyone and does what she wants. It totally worked for her. A lot of characters on his season. All the best seasons of project runway have interesting characters along with great designs. Makes me miss Santino. I’m excited to see the upcoming finale collections. I hope it is Geoffrey, Sergio, Nancy, and any of the other 4.
God, I love Santino. Maybe I will see him one day at the Red Lobster with Tim and Andre.
Ha – that’s the perfect answer to one of those psych questions about who would you ask to dinner if you could ask anyone living or dead!
If this happens HOLD THEM ALL THERE and I will be on the first plane!
Omg! Best comment ever!
YAY! You found your way here! 🙂 Welcome to the clan, Peach!
Thank you so much for the welcome! So how many of you rewatched Where is Andre? On YouTube after the brilliant reference? I sure did.
When I need a good laugh, I hit YouTube for the Santino’s Tim and Andre routine. Effing hysterical!
I loved when Leslie went up and hugged Jeffrey. He didn’t have to ask like with Cindy Lauper. He deserved that win. I hope he wins it all.
This was a TIE DYE challenge. Delvin’s look was boring-ish but it wasn’t hideous. Victoria’s look was heinous. The only thing worse than the top was the bottom. At least Delvin’s tie dye was really good. (I don’t know why they were hating on his colors.) Just look at the above photo. The design of the tie dye is positioned nicely on his design. The two sides are reflective. It was MINDFUL. Victoria’s was a hodgepodge mess with a big turquoise blob.
When there are two bad designs, the APPROPRIATENESS OF THE SOLUTION — in this case the tie dye — should determine the winner. Victoria’s tie dye was awful. She skates yet AGAIN. Anya all over again. But at least Anya was nice.
I liked Victoria’s tie dye cloth (see first photo) but she didn’t show it off in her design. Tie dye is made to be seen as whole cloth not all bunch up. And you don’t say, you don’t like tie dye and the just throw paint on some jeans and say fuck it. Unless you’ve already fucked…someone.
Climbing the ladder the old-fashioned way?
My last comments got deleted somehow in my wish to get to work! I said it was going to be between boring and crazy. Crazy won. Which is completely unfair. As annoyed as I was with Delvin last week, he got the short end of the stick here….
I was surprised/not surprised that Sergio did a ‘50’s style dress literally the week after he got scolded for saying it was the best decade. Also, I thought it missed the mark on making tye dye modern. It was just underwhelming to me, nothing special at all. Geoffrey’s dress was awesome and I’m so glad he won. Poor Delvin got screwed. You’re right TT, the fix is definitely in when it comes to Victoria.
Exactly, I thought that too re: Sergio’s dress. So why did the judges not get it?
I was hoping that Delvin would be in the finals. I do not understand why Nancy gets called out for her pants when Victoria every week, except this makes the same boring dress.
I also want to see Geoffrey, Sergio and Nancy in the finals. Anyone else but Victoria for the fourth spot.
I think Geoffrey’s winning dress may be the best look of the season thus far. The perfect dress for any woman. It would look great on all 4 judges. He is only competing against himself the next few weeks. By that I mean if he can keep it together, I totally expect to see a full collection from Geoffrey.
While Sergio’s dress and fabric were very pretty, I do not think the bodice fit well and the straps gaped a smidge in the back. The skirt was a work of art, and Thijin looked great as always. I just think Sergio did not have time to adjust his fit for ease.
It hit me during runway. Elaine wears her hair in many complimentary styles, but I adore her when she wears a high chignon. Her cheekbones are amazing, and her naturally thick hair makes such a full and beautiful twist.
I am just going to say this very quietly way down here. I thought Diego should have won this one.
aka Sergio 😉 (sorry, my correction officer forced me to say this)
Your correction officer must be very proud of your compliance. Do I have to sign a form or some shit? 🙂
I agree with you, Sergio should have won, guess it has to do with which dress could be more easily reproduced for the flash sale.
Me too.
There have been so many challenges now where Victoria doesn’t like the challenge and either ignores the actual challenge rules or says fuck it and sends awful “designs” down the runway. It’s annoying. I don’t know why the judges want to see a collection from Victoria when they’ve already seen her entire range..maybe they want to see it in more colors.
I have been cranky since an encounter at the old lady center yesterday when I wanted to drown a very old lady. I fell asleep watching this because it didn’t tape on my living room TV but I had a backup in the bedroom So I started watching it and passed out because I spent three hours in the pool yesterday. I woke up this morning still cranky and this show kept pissing me the fuck off.
Three hours in the pool? Wow! You’re going to melt away at this rate.
Not really it went like this Laps 1-5 of 44 waiting for the teacher to show up. She doesn’t but a really shitty sub does. It was basically Tai Chi in the water with music to kill yourself by. SLOW AS SHIT MOVEMENTS. I got out of the pool halfway threw and stood wet outside the back door to escape the music until I worried about hypothermia.
Hour 2 some sort of hip, lower back balance crap. Same dumbass octogenarian instructor who subbed for the other class. At least there was some walking around in the pool and no music. It was not exercise.
Hour the other 39 laps (didn’t take a hour) and some water weights. Most of my energy was expended through sheer anger and frustration and homicidal thoughts. I probably should not tell the therapist I want to drown old ladies like unwanted puppies in a bag, should i?
I just can’t with Victoria. Something about her ribs me the wrong way. it’s weird
Oh I KNOW what it is.
Her One design sucks. Unless you are 6’2 and weigh 103
First, i’d like to say how adorbs christian is! i also watched the after show and he was definitely jonesin on delvin – who shouldn’t have been the one to be eliminated.
Victoria’s looks always make me go “hmmmmm?” 🤔
what is up with these judges? Victoria should have been sent home few episodes ago.
i love Geoffrey and was so happy he won! he seems like he has a heart of gold.
I was surprised that the tie dye experts used zip ties instead of rubber bands — rubber bands work better. No running stitches to create shapes? And NUMBER ONE getting the fabric WET before dying, the dye takes better and more evenly. No one used overdying, starting light to dark then rubber banding off more sections. (Would my old hippie skills would be worth something today?) The designers didn’t seem to add enough dye to get deeper colors. We used white vinegar to set the colors so they would run so much; I recently read it doesn’t work, but it DOES. Victoria’s original tie dye was light enough, she could have used that as her “white” and dyed on top.
WHY OH WHY was this a one-day challenge when they had to “make” the fabric before sewing? That sleepover crap to give more time is bullshit. Pushing these people beyond healthful limits. It’s not the same as pulling an all-nighter to get your OWN collection ready to show.
You are being way too logical for this show. I also just watched an entire season of Next in Fashion.
I sure hope Bext In Fashion gets picked up again. It is SO good. I want ALL the leftovers from the Fabric Closets.
Geoffrey’s tie dye effect, on such a sleek silhouette, almost looked like marble from some angles–beautiful!
Victoria’s top looked like one of those long, flannel nightgowns with the horizontal ruffle across the chest and puffy sleeves. Really, what DOES she have on the judges?
Anyone notice the long, annoyed look Brandon gave Elaine when Geoffrey, after winning, said he thought this was the most difficult challenge, yet? I mean, c’mon, Brandon, give Geoffrey a break. It may have come out of his mouth the wrong way but Geoffrey is so humble, he didn’t even realize it.
Anyone notice Elaine’s pants? The pant legs were covered in ostrich feathers but when she stood, it looked the hips were like a stiff, cargo/khaki-like design. Wasn’t sure how I felt about that juxtaposition but they were intriguing.
CJ, laughing hard about your pretending to like The Dead for a future husband! All the girls in my high school did the same for the same reason! Every time “Friend Of The Devil” came on, they would swoon and coo in front of the boys, “Oh, this is such a great song!” Yes, I was a little guilty of it as well. (I do like “Shakedown Street”)
So…Victoria doesn’t like prints, doesn’t know what sheer is, doesn’t like colors’ and doesn’t like tie dye. Makes the same thing challenge after challenge. She should have gine home with that horrid yelliw thing. What am I missing? What do the judges (not) see that’s so obvious to us.
If she wins this thing I’m gonna have to stick my head in the oven. Empty threat cause we have an electric but I get too angry over this nonsense.
All I kept thinking was ” this all nighter challenge would have killed poor Dayoung” and finding comfort in the fact that she wasn’t there to participate in it.
I loved Leslie Jones as a judge! Her enthusiasm and joy were infectious. I think she needs her own permanent judge’s chair!
So happy for Geoffrey— his dress was fantastic. Such a sweet man— his moments of self-doubt kill me. I just want to sit him down at my kitchen table, fix him a good supper and talk all the nonsense out. Like I do for my own kids.
I loved Sergio’s dress, too. I’d wear it every day! The skirt on that dress was heavenly.
Nancy’s fabric was lovely, and I admire how much she trusts herself. So glad she got the accolades from the judges she deserves. I really want to see a collection from her!
Okay, I’ll admit it— Delvin was robbed! I expected to take fiendish glee from his departure, for his meanness toward Nancy. But Delvin’s simple dress with colors that I liked was WAY better than Victoria’s denim-diaper, flannel-nightgown-caped monstrosity!!! What is wrong with the judges??? I hope the fix isn’t in for Victoria!! Her taste level! Please!
Thank you, CJ Bomb, Lovely Les and TT! Another astonishing recap! Happy Valentine’s Day!
I’m commenting as I watch…
Runway:
Wait, are they kidding—they LIKE Sergio’s dress??? It looked like bile was vomited on the fabric, rubbed together, and an ill-fitted dress was the result. Seriously???
Loved everything about Geoffrey’s! His piece met the challenge and exceeded my expectations. When I think of tie dye it’s usually on a white background so I love that he covered the fabric completely in color. I want to go back and rewatch to see how he created that tie dye. Love love love his color choices.
Nancy. I loved her tie dye, but, again, it was another pair of pants. With an unfinished top to boot. Disappointed. Her tie dye colors and fabric were beautiful and unique.
Victoria with the excuses again…she’s not a fan of tie dye. Everything about this look is bad. I can’t find one positive thing to say.
Delvin’s colors are too cotton candy for me and the dress shape is boring.
Judging:
Oh for gawds sake they LIKE Sergio’s??? Not okay with me. Is there a “reward” for Fan Least Favorite? They like Geoffrey’s too; he better win dammit, his was far more elevated. Nancy got dinged for another pair of pants but was also told they were different so maybe?
Coin toss for who is leaving, I could make a case for either Delvin or Victoria. I lean towards Victoria—she just can’t design within the challenge parameters and has been disappointing in the last few challenges. Delvin hasn’t really stood out in his designs and cotton candy might be his downfall.
Result:
Nancy is in, Geoffrey better win.
YES! Geoffrey!
Poor Sergio…not.
Now, time for Victoria to go but it will probably be Delvin. Let’s see…
Yup, Delvin. So next week please let it be Victoria or Sergio to go!
I loved the runway, they need more guest judges like Leslie Jones who yell out comments on the runway! Best Project Runway judge EVER 🤩
I am full of unpopular opinions about this episode. I love Leslie Jones. I think she is hysterical. I love watching her IG where she screams at the TV while watching Bravo shows. She is all of us.
HOWEVER, screaming things as the models walked down the runway wasn’t funny to me. It was rude. As a judge she will be able to do that when it is time for the judges feedback. The judges make no comments until after they discuss the looks. THEN when the judges give feedback to the designers, that is the time for her very humorous comments.
In other news, You can pre order your Geoffry dress here for $840.

I am so glad you wrote that about Leslie Jones and her behavior. I thought I was the only one who found it inappropriate and disrespectful to everyone involved.
Does Geoffrey get any money from the sales? I hope next season there are some weekly prizes. I wish the second place winner would get SOMETHING. On Top Chef too. But at least on Top Chef there are prizes throughout.
I agree. Love Leslie, but came across as inappropriate in my uptight anally retentive world!
At CJ, thanks for the recap. I’ve been on Geoffrey’s side, even when he’s weeping, again. I’ve been expecting Delvin to go, and I’m surprised about Victoria still being there.
Sergio’s design was elegant, pretty and the fabric was shiny in a good way. A happy dress. Geoffrey’s was dramatic with great movement and fit. I don’t think it’s a great color for a lot of women but it surely was my favorite. I liked Nancy’s and would have been happy if she won. I don’t understand why they didn’t have 3 bottom looks. I would have put Marquise’s in there. I thought that the long sleeved top was part of the model’s wardrobe when I saw it during a fitting, didn’t realize it was part of his design. Who knew lace netting and tie dye look good together said no one ever. I didn’t like Brittany’s look on the runway. I’d wear Delvin’s out before I wore Victoria’s but I’d rather stay indoors.
Marquise DEFINITELY deserved to be in the bottom he deserved to go home over Delvin. NO ONE would wear that dress he made unless they were going to an ice rink with their mama to test for their Beta badge.
After paying a lot of money for fashion school … do ANY of these people (other than Sergio?) know how to make darts?
I have little tits, and I still need darts.
A 24 hr challenge is ridiculous. I hate ridiculous challenges.
I loved Sergios dress. Tie dye (and patchouli) lack subtlety and he made it dreamy.
I liked Delvins tie dye, but the fit was off and the style was meh. Victoria created a hot mess and should have gone home. There was nothing attractive about it. I do believe they saved her because they liked her previous designs more than Delvins. Why, I don’t know.
Loved Elaine’s eyeshadow.
Hmmm. Now that I think about it, this was to be a flash sale. I wonder if they chose Geoffrey over Sergio because his dress would be easier to manufacture. I liked Geoffreys dress, it’s just that I thought Sergio did the impossible with tie dye.
You have a point, I am sure mass production came into play and the judges kept saying things like the dress would look good on every woman. I do think Sergio’s dress would also look good on every woman. I would wear Sergio’s dress. I would not wear Geoffrey’s not because it isn’t gorgeous, I loved it, but because of the slit and because I really don’t think it flatters EVERY body type. Like say APPLE shapes which I bring up randomly for no reason and not because I am working on becoming more of a crabapple. At least I have the crabby part down…Allegedly.
I soooooo wanted Victoria gone!
Delvin got robbed… Victoria should have gone.
Loved Sergio’s skirt however the bodice did not sit correctly.
Geoffrey, Nancy and Sergio for the final
forgot to say that I loved the onesies that Brittany, Marquise and Delvin wore. Delvin doing a few dance steps while chanting pizza party was hilarious and I was happy to see that he had a silly side.
Those three cracked me up!
I finally got a chance to watch this episode and I’m just stunned that Delvin went home instead of Victoria. Her outfit was horrendous, and looked even worse when she took that ruffle thingamajig off. Those jeans were a nightmare, and yet she’s still in the competition! Delvin’s might not have been the best outfit, but it certainly wasn’t worse than Victoria’s, in fact, I thought his fabric was just stunning and loved the color combination. What is going on that’s keeping Victoria in the competition.?
I loved Geoffrey’s design, it was elegant and timeless. Sergio’s was gorgeous, but not on a par with Geoffrey. I really enjoyed watching. Brittany and Marquise’s models walking down the runway. I thought they were both beautiful and well done. I actually enjoyed Nancy’s outfit, but wish she had managed her time better and made a proper top. I’d also like to see her make something other than pants.
Well, if Victoria doesn’t go home next week, I’m definitely going to go subscribe to the theory that there’s there’s some kind of fix in play.
There is something in play, because Victoria is still there.
I agree with all that Victoria should have been sent home for that horrendous design that NO ONE would ever wear. EVER. At least Delvin’s could be fixed to be more flattering. NOTHING could fix Victoria’s except a gas can and a match. I see that I am not the only one that wants to snuggle Geoffrey’s self-doubt away. He is just so sweet and empathetic. I luhs him. My parents would rent villas on the sea in Italy or Spain for our summer hols in the early sixties. My mother wore variations on Sergio’s dress in all sorts of bright and beautiful colors. I wish she had kept them. I loved Geoffrey’s dress, that olive green is one of my go to colors for fall and winter. Another great recap and comment section.
Victoria is a pouty little baby. She bristles if she has to make something SHE does NOT like. Which at this point is every week. She should have been gone long ago. It seems she is destined to join the Gretchen/Anya/Banana club. I am going to snoop around on Reddit and see what I can find out!
I was liking Delvins until I saw the construction issues. And then when they said “dated”… I totally flashed on the shirts I wore in the late 70s, early 80s. I think I had one in those colors AND in the sunburst style. I know I’ve seen them every time in the booths at different craft bazaars and probably even Portland Saturday Market! Those specific colors were dated, and so was the style.
I LOOOOOVED Geoffrey’s!!!! I loved Leslie hugging him too.
Christian needs to sell that tie dye Americana shirt he is wearing. I would buy one!
