The Top:
Ven’s dress is very graphically interesting… as he points out… about his own piece. He seems to love roses as it’s the same motif he used last challenge. The judges never address the fact that the back of his dress looks a bit like a throwaway, though.
Sonjia’s sea glass/aquatic look is playful, clever and beautiful from all angles. As Michael Kors points out, it’s very difficult to incorporate so many colors and textures of candy into something cohesive but she accomplishes this with her piece.
Gunnar’s peplum dress has some obvious flaws and doesn’t fit well but the checkering is clever enough. That being said, Raul’s dress should’ve been in the top. Raul’s back is so surprising and I wish we’d gotten a better look. Dmitry’s halter dress could have also been up there although it looked a bit like an ice skating costume.
The Bottom:
Buffi’s look brings about the second “Toddler’s & Tiaras” reference of the season. Do they have a deal? Michael Kors says it best about the model: She doesn’t look fun, she looks insane. All the same, Buffi is a great listener and her cast mates seem to adore her.
At this point, Elena’s dress is just muslin since all of the Twizzlers have fallen off. It looks like the models were feeding off of her while waiting to go back on the runway. She doesn’t take criticism well, but she sure knows how to take the joy out of candy.
Lantie has the same problems as last challenge because she doesn’t transform the fabric at all and relies on poorly done embellishments. Not to mention, she barely followed the challenge at all. Nina doesn’t like Lantie’s excuses. Nina means business. Lantie’s gotta go.
Winner: Not so surprisingly, Ven wins with his pastel candy couture. I think that Sonjia should have taken this one because she embraced the challenge more and her dress looked great from every angle.
Auf’d: It’s a good thing Lantie gets sent home because she doesn’t seem to understand what the show is about: meeting challenges, working within time constraints and listening to constructive criticism. Hasta la vista, Lantie.
One final thought: it’s interesting that one of the top competitors (Ven) is maybe the least charismatic character on television (barring Eeyore). We’ll see how this plays out in judging as the season goes on…
