Last night's episode was kind of a snooze. (Unintended bad joke there). Maybe it's just that sleepwear is not that interesting for a design challenge.

The episode wasn't a snooze just the designs. The top looks were okay but nothing to write home about, imo.

Wow did I disagree with the judges on Brandon's win. I agree with whoever said it looked like a pin striped bib. Kenya was robbed again. I would have put Shawn or Kentaro in the top three.

The bottom two, OMG. Aaron's was the worst look of the season. Claire should have followed him out the door. Has she done one interesting look all season? And then to actually think she didn't deserve to be in the bottom? One of the most boring dresses ever. That awful fabric, I could go on and on.....

I liked Brandon's design, but I didn't think it fit the challenge. It was fashion-forward. I wasn't a big fan of Kenya's design this time around, but she did do a great job on it.

Those twins sure love the diaper look. That diaper got Sean in the bottom and Claire thought it was a good idea to do again, wtf?

Kentaro's winning look was fierce, loved it. I CANNOT believe Samantha was sent home over Clare and the other one. Terrible design, fit and construction on both.

I agree on all parts, but Sam should have added some color to her outfit. It was just a layered blah much like Claire's whatever. I would have sent home Claire though.

I loved Kentaro's look, but WTF did Brandon make?

Brandon should have been bottom 3 instead of Samantha. Clare or the awful 2005 hip hop atrocity should have gone.

Yep, Brandon should have been on the bottom, but he couldn't be. Since, he had immunity, however, Heidi should have told him that he would have been if he didn't have immunity.

I didn't mind the hip hop getup as much as I detested Clare's black parenthesis.

Latest episode:

Disagree strongly with top three. I think it should have been Clare, Amy and Ayana. The underboob peplum on Kenya's was not flattering at all. I agree with Heidi about Kentaro's, his model was drowning in it.

The controversy over Clare's look being a copy of Margaritas shirtdress, much ado about nothing, IMO. Now the cheating thing, that I am interested to see play out.

OH, Miss Clare. It had to have been spelled out in writing somewhere what was allowed outside the workroom and what wasn't. I wasn't impressed at all by how the others handled it, though. Michael, "It was never my intention to..." when that was exactly his intention, and rightly so. Someone should have manned up, gone to Tim as soon as they realized what she was doing, and told him their observations about the tape measure, and been willing to say it to her face. Laura did that in one of the earlier seasons when they all thought that Jeffrey was cheating.

Regarding the cheating, that could have been handled earlier, but I guess it's easier said than done.

With this week's top 3, I have a problem. Brandon, imo, should have been in the bottom. That was awful, and ALL the judges loved it. I have to give the side eye to that.

Kenya's black and white dress was gorgeous, and she was safe!

Safe!

Not even an honorable slot in the top 3.

Shaking my head!

I agree with you on Brandon and Kenya. His was terrible. I had no idea what the judge's saw in that. And Kenya's was lovely.

I think Brandon should have been in the safe zone. I agree with the other top three, they were all great. I also would have given the win to Michael, I loved his look so much. I loved how he smiled when his girl said her character was going to a disco party.

Amy and Batani both deserved to go. Nina was right, there was no design to Batani's, and someone said Amy's looked dated. We've seen that high volume asymmetrical collar before on PR, executed much better.

Safe? He had those strips of fabric hanging from the back and the front was all sloppy. We've seen that twice before, and I'm surprised the judges didn't call him on it.

Michael deserved to win, but I do think Kenya should have been in the running.

OMG, my girl Ayana BROUGHT it. That dress was ferocious. While I agree that the top wasn't the best, that red wire overlay was amazing.

I didn't love Margaritas as much as the judges did. If did look like a superhero costume. Brandon's was my second favorite.

I think the right 2 were bottom but I would have sent Kentaro home. He did the least transformation of the materials and wow, the styling on his poor model. Why didn't the hair guy say something?

I though it was everything, and I even loved the top.

I so agree.

Brandon's was my second favorite.

I liked Brandon's too, but I think he should have been called out for using fabric.

I think Micheal should have went home, because I saw that bungee cord thing used a thousand times. I agree about Kentaro's model styling.

With that said, I wonder would Micheal eat his words for that Tim Gunn save in which he said that Tim shouldn't use it.
