Call me fashion backward, but didn't Gordana win for copying Althea's dress in the newspaper challenge?

@Konradd: Logan is SO FINE. I'll be bummed if he gets the boot. But then I will find him, vulnerable from losing a nationally-televised contest, and let him make a new wardrobe for me. This is one of the more tame fantasies I have..

After seeing that Bob Mackie is in some way involved with next week's episode, and having recently heard the news that he's re-teaming with Cher, I'm guessing Cher is going to be the surprise guest next week. And I think that will be HILARIOUS.

Also, throw rotten tomatoes if you must, but I think with some re-fitting I would wear Christopher's silver dress everywhere.

I thought Carol Hannah's was way better than Irina's which looked dowdy to me.

Still, yay Gordana and yay Shirin for making a really cute dress out of almost nothing.

@JennaW: Agree about Irina's dress. The term "age appropriate" was thrown in the compliments, but I thought it was far too grandmother-of-the-bride for the model. She couldn't have been 50 and that dress is for a much older woman who wasn't trying to make a splash of herself.

How did Carol Hannah not even make the Top 3? I loved her dress so, so much.

Also, why did it seem like half the people died the fabric gray? Is that just easier to do than other colors? or is it a really hot color this season and I'm totally out of the loop?

@Ultraprison!: I think the colors may have something to do with the fabric being acrylic. Regular RIT dye doesn't work well with unnatural fabrics, so they may have been going for darker or richer colors that ended up washed out because the fabric wouldn't take the dye.

Epperson's garment wasn't that bad, but I think he was sent home for admitting he simply didn't get the challenge.

Christopher's dress was the worst. Just terrible. Logan's was next-worst. Hid-e-ous. But Sharin should have made the bottom three just for the fact that she didn't even really deconstruct the dress. She cut off the bottom, sewed some new straps on, and put a cheap looking belt over the original waistline. The only thing inventive she did was the over-stitching.

Epperson was totally robbed.

More than anything, though, I wanted to see Irina get snubbed, and she kind of did. But, I have a feeling that no matter what opposition she faces in life, she'll always think she's number one.

@sweetbeans: Irina is this season's Kenley. She'll make it all the way to Bryant Park based entirely on the fact that NOBODY likes her.

Maybe she and Kenley can get a tugboat together or something.

I'm a little surprised at the lack of outrage over Epperson going home! He has made some really beautiful stuff, while Logan is consistently meh. the clothes I mean. not him. I really think they kept him around so that his beauty could cause dramz. I mean, those stupid pants weren't even well made and that vest was a hot mess! at least Epperson's was well crafted. arg arg arg!

you guys, i think I'm done with this show. The judging last night pissed me off so much! Why is Oktoberfest an insult!? you get drunk and eat sausage what's not to love!? and that shit didn't even look like lederhosen, shut up Heidi, shut up fake Nina Garcia.

OH and in the PR I know and love, they would have replayed Christopher sobbing on the runway last week, like they did that time Andre broke down and it was mega heartbreaking. This time no one mentioned it! AND when they trashed his dress this week, he GIGGLED! WTF?

And why hasn't anyone noticed that Irina makes the same stupid shapes every time? I've never liked the stuff she wins for.

Clearly Project Runway is detrimental to my health and sanity. I need a break. SOB I NEED A HUG FROM TIM GUNN!!!

@LaMorenita: I don't think anyone is saying that aufing Epperson over Logan was a good idea. Although I think almost everyone is saying it should have been Nicholas instead and Epperson never should have been there.

I always SAY that I'm done with this show, but I never can really mean it or stay away, so I don't even bother saying it anymore.

@LaMorenita: I, for one, am outraged. Logan is very pretty, but this is Project Runway, not Project HotGuy.

And there was nothing Oktoberfest about Epperson's dress. I'm not Bavarian, but neither is Heidi and that was not a Dirndl in any region of Germany.

@elsbels: Now, if Heidi had asked why she was wearing a "sexy Geisha Halloween costume" I would have understood that. It's a beautiful dress and I don't think it's costumey, but I think the Geisha part would be a legitimate criticism. He DOES tend to revert to the same kimono-ish silhouette time and time again. He still didn't deserve an aufing over it -- maybe a "we'd like to see you step more outside your box." At LEAST get your damn cultural references right! Logan was Oktoberfest and Epperson was sexy Geisha halloween!

ETA: Now that I look at it again, I think another legitimate criticism would have been that it looks like a wedding dress. It just looks like a wedding dress with a funky bodice panel now. I would totally wear that dress to get married in, but the point was to create something that was not a wedding dress but was made from one.

@LaMorenita: I'm pissed about Epperson being eliminated. Hell, I would wear the dress he made last night [in a different color, because white on me = magnet for spilled food], and I don't think it looked like Oktoberfest. I firmly believe that they kept Logan on because Carol Hannah thinks he's dreeeeeamy and they are hoping for drama :P

@LaMorenita: I rarely call shenanigans even though I think some producer intervention is always a given, but I'm totally calling shenanigans on this one.

This has a whiff of ageism to me. Add to that, Epperson being a thoughtful and quiet personality, I think the producers (Heidi is one of them, no?) saved Mr. Shiny Silver Pants for the eye candy and Fat Kurt Cobain for the trash talk and drama. It sucks because I think Epperson is an interesting designer to watch because he is so thoughtful in his approach, and his POV -- trending toward Asian-inspired looks -- is so different then what the other contestants bring to the show (short, chic dresses, mostly).

Heidi seems contemptuous of Gordana too. Her compliment at judging seemed awfully curt when Gordana's design was easily (to me) the best design of the night. Gordana seems like a genuinely likable person, humble and earnest. I don't get it. Is it because she's 44? Or is it just because Heidi doesn't like her clothes?

And I hate to pick on Logan because he seems like a good guy, but he already seems out of his element on this show, his designs middling at best, but he looks hot, so he stays, at least for another week. Epperson, I think, had the talent to make it to at least the top four or five.

One more thing: Maybe it's because I'm closer to Epperson's age than Logan's, but
I think Emerson is quite a hot piece himself.

@pumpkinsoup: I'm glad someone else is seeing ageism here, because I've thought they treated Gordana badly from jump [the "my great-grandmother's dress" comment made no sense to me because IT WAS A PERIOD COSTUME CHALLENGE, and I'm still bothered by that one judge referring to her as a "dressmaker", not a "designer"], and there is no way in HELL any sane person operating from a place of "which is the worst outfit?" could've let Logan stay after those awful, awful pants.

I loved that Shirin kept saying "I can't make a Cher costume, and I don't want to make a Cher costume!" and when my DVR cut off just as the preview for next week's show was coming on, all I got to see was a freeze frame of a Bob Mackie catwalk. And we all should know Cher (and Barbie's) penchant to get insane stuff done by Mackie.

@bluebears: The only justification is that Logan made a pair of pants and pants are hard, plus he was just doing what his client told him. But they weren't fitted that well and the entire thing was ridiculous.

The thing is, he chokes in the "create for a client!" challenges. He totally loses himself in what the client wants with disastrous results. He was in the bottom two when they made dresses for their models, too.

We all just wanna fuck Logan. I think that's the reason he's staying. Hell, were I a judge, I would make him able to stay on one sexual condition.

I love Shirin. I actually thought her client was kinda whiney and I felt for her. I know the client gets to have what she wants and everything, but go easy on her, right?
