Gotta do some catchup on previous shows first!
Thanks!

finally . . . I was having withdrawals :)

I love that show:)

I love this show also. Between Project Runway, the Top Chef Holiday Special, The Amazing Race...I have had shows to look forward to.

Oh My! It was a challenge from Times Sq...

The designers were taken to the Hershey's store in Time Sq...who knew there was such a thing... and given 5 minutes to select any and all items they would use to make an outfit that could be worn by todays women. It had to use items from the store, food or fabric, it had to be fun and wearable. They were given all day to design, make and finish their outfit.

Christian was the first to finish. He made a simple halter dress using the base fabric of muslin then covered it completly with the little brown paper cups that are under Peanut butter cups. It was cute but nothing special AT ALL. He was finished with it sometime during the afternoon.

Jillian was the only designer who used candy in her design. She used Twizzlers that kept falling off, falling apart...it was a mess. But, she pulled it off and the The judges were impressed. She did not win, but the Judges thought her finished product was 'adorable'.

All the other designers used candy wrappers, Big Hershey pillows, Hershey Teaddy Bears, big stuffed Hershey Kisses, all of which they pulled apart to get enough flat 'fabric'or, piece enough of 'whatever' together so they could construct an outfit.

Romy won the challenge. He made a very cute, well constructed dress using wrappers to make a full skirt with a halter type top that had several different inserts of candy logos. It tied in the front using more wrappers. It looked very elaborate and well made and just about wearable.

Chris also did an excellent job. He made a sleeveless top using 'Hershey' panels from pillows (?) and a plane short brown skirt. Very wearable and stylish. I thought his could have won.

As I said, the judges thought Jillians design was original and adorable and the only one to use candy. She mad a short skirt using two rows of Twizzlers. The top was a bostier, again using Twizzlers and clear plastic inserts
from one of the candies. It was cute but not wearable.

The two bottom designes were by Elisa and Sweet P. Sweet P made a dumb dress that I can't remember what the top was but the bottom was just as dumb. Elisa made an ugly, brown fuzzy dress using Hershey pillows. It was just sad.

In the end, Elisa was the one who was out. Once again, Sweet P squeeks by and lives to design another day. I was sorry to see Elisa go, I enjoyed her spirit, but we all knew it was going to happen.

So, that was it. Anyone else watch and if so, did I miss anything?

I only watched the elimination this morning and then I looked at the designs on Bravo's site this morning. I'll watch the rest tonight or catch it when Bravo replays it about 100 times between now and next week's episode.

I think Christ was robbed. I thought most did a good job besides Elisa and Sweet Pea. Elisa is just out there and Sweet Pea doesn't seem to work well under pressure. I didn't care for Jillian's design (can she work in any other color besides red?). When she had immunity she didn't bother to follow the rules and bought all new fabric for that challenge but for this challenge she tried to go completely edible as if it mattered - that wasn't one of the rules and I don't think she deserved extra credit for that. I didn't like her's or Ricky's but that's just my personal preference. Christian just phoned his in. It was very blah.

LOL Paula, "Christian just phoned his in."...that almost made me spit my tea!
It's so true..

He's a little imp...But I do enjoy watching him think he's sooooooo the Next Top Designer...

I liked Chris' design alot! But he seems to like that "shape" of dress. Basically that Blue, black and red number was a similar silloutte...

I was so glad to see Elisa go . . . I thought she was NUTS! All of her dresses looked like something left hanging on the rack at Goodwill, after a Halloween sale. Sweet Pea should be next; I can't believe she's lasted this long. In fact, I don't know how she even qualified to be on the show.

I LOVED the licorice dress . . . not practical, but way over-the-top creatively.

I had to laugh at how spacious the Times Square Hershey store looked. If you've ever been in there, you know there's hardly room to turn around to look behind you, without knocking over half a shelf of something . . . or maybe I've just been in there too much, LOL!

From the very first episode, I picked Rami as someone who is going to the finals. He's a class act. Seems to stay out of all the trash talk and does a good job. He's my pick for the winner.

I agree, yarnlo. Rami seems to do his work without a lot of side show. We never know how much of that is editing but we often do not see much of him until we see what he has on the runway. From the beginning he has produced some great stuff.

I also think Kevin, Kit and Jillian are good. I've also liked some of the stuff Chris has done. The dress he did in the first show was beautiful. I think I liked it more than the dress that won, which was Ramis. What about Christian...where does he fit in?

Unless something big happens, Sweet P will be the next to go. Then Chris (?). After that, it's a crap shoot. But I do think that Rami will be in the final.
