BOTTOM: Carrie, Hernan, Sandhya [left to right]
Whenever there is a team challenge there is always one team that doesn’t get it and this time it was this Hot Mess trio. In the workroom they decided just to each create their own looks — Sandhya’s choice — and then make them cohesive through a story.
Naturally, because Sandhya had immunity, Carrie and Hernan were pissed off that she wouldn’t listen and even more angry when Tim came in and called their looks messy and costume-y and ugly and then he slapped all three of them.
That last part may have been edited out of the broadcast you saw, but I get the unedited version in my head.
So, after the slapping, they decide that, to make it all more cohesive, they will all use the exact same materials — film strips and nothing else — for their looks. As Julia said to the shop girl in Pretty Woman, “Big mistake. Huge.” And, while they sew film strips into dresses, Hernan decides that there cohesive look is based on The Golden Age of Hollywood because they used film and gold.
Big mistake. Huge.
Also huge was the Sandhya crying because, as she said, her team wouldn’t listen to her. What she failed to mention was that she wasn’t listening to them either.
WHAT THEY SAID
Carrie: “When the lights hit the film strips on my garment it looks so pretty”
Hernan: “She looks so chic and sophisticated. The dress fit perfectly.”
Sandhya: “For how bad we started, the clothes look well-done”
WHAT I SAID
It’s the same silhouette with different hemlines and tops.
WHAT THE JUDGES SAID
Heidi wondered what we all thought: that not one of the three designers ever looked at their dresses and realized they were all the same??? She called them three girls from a music video — from the 70s no doubt — not a fashion show, and while she acknowledged that Sandhya’s was the worst, she’d be safe; she said she’d choose Hernan over Carrie.
The Adorable Zac Posen™ said the shapes were a mess and the whole thing looked rough, and that‘s when Carrie complained that they had so little time, and Tim made them start all over and Sandhya. He said the use of film strip looked like leftovers from an editing room floor.
Nina, leave it to Nina, told Sandhya she was lucky she had immunity because her look was the worst … it was awful … it looked sloppy … it was ugly … it looked bad and brought the entire awful collection to a new low. When Heidi joked about Nina being harsh, she snapped back that she was angry because she expected more from the woman who won the first week.
Guest judge, fashion blogger, Garance Doré said the ideas and designs were too literal and just don’t work.
WHAT HAPPENED
There was finger-pointing at Sandhya because she was inflexible; there was finger-pointing at Angela because of her ‘delicate touch.”
Carrie suggested Sandhya go home and Hernan pushed Angela in front of the Parson’s Express Bus, but in the end, the judges decided Carrie should go and she left so sweetly and gracefully.
“This is bullsh*t.” She ranted and raged in the waiting room basically saying, without saying it, that the judges should have booted Sandhya even with immunity because she, Carrie, has so much more to show and she should be at Fashion Week and, where the hell is Tim to send her packing?
Carrie. Auf’d.

I was actually surprised at the winning group. I thought the teams of Alexander/Emily/Samantha or Char/Kini/Mitchell would have been in the top. I wasnt impressed with Angela/Fade/Sean's stuff at all, the only one I did like was Angela's.
ReplyDeleteCarrie was just over the top crazy about thinking that immunity doesn't actually mean "safe" but instead means "still able to to tossed out if your team mates hate you!"
If they would have followed Sandhya's lead they might have been safe. Her number skirt was cute, much better than their comi-con costumes.
Now I remember why I didnt like Amanda in her season!
The title of the post says it ALL!
ReplyDeletePoor Angela- she is sooo the wrong type for this competition. Isn't this season full of previous hopefuls? She had to know what PR is like! Sandhya is also going to suffer.
Have we ever had an unconventional challenge in teams... so many seasons.... it does make it harder since the options are limited. I know they love teams because of the dramas. I have to wonder if the producers were whispering in Heidi's ear about Angela's design problems. Usually they just stick them in the middle and say be gone with you!
Any time someone makes a dress out of drinking straws, I'm good. Everything else fades in the background for me, so I can focus on A Dress Made of Drinking Straws.
ReplyDeleteI was really surprised that Amanda's team was on top. Like you, I found their nuts-n-bolts-n-duct tape looks to be amateurish. I thought Sean's team should have been on top. I even liked the paper snowflake dress!
