Watch Episode Here
After Ivy’s brief stint in the hospital for dehydration (she’s fine, by the way…shocker) the designers are ready for their latest challenge. This week they had to design outfits inspired by goofy (err…stylish?) hats by Phillip Treacy. The hats ranged from masquerade masks to oversized flowers to giant fortune cookies, yet the designers were super excited so I’m guessing this Treacy guy is kind of a big deal in the fashion world.
For the most part the 13 remaining contestants were pleased with their hats, but Kristen simply did not know what to do with the huge vagina she was given (her words, not mine.) This did not bode well for the eccentric Kristen.
But, the hats weren’t the only things that were oversized this episode; egos reached an all time high as some of the designers got a little too cocky. As much as Gretchen bugs me, the girl did win two challenges so I kind of get it. But, where does Ivy come off thinking she’s better than everyone else? Girlfriend, you were inspired by the hospital this week. Check your ego at the door, and try winning a challenge one of these days. Casanova is a diva too, but in that “it’s okay because you’re foreign” kind of way, and he’s a nice guy.
Michael Costello was kind of the star of the episode, and we learned that he’s a daddy (I seriously couldn’t love the guy any more.) He was having some serious issues making his garment, but he ended up beating the odds and winning the challenge. And, this just demonstrated that some of these designers are assholes. Everyone tried to rain on his parade, but the laugh’s on them.
Other designers at the top were Michael Drummond and the “always a bridesmaid, never a bride” Valerie. Poor Valerie made it to the top 3 for the third time, but the winner came down to a battle of the Michaels. On the bottom were Chris (which was a pretty big shock), April (which was not… can you say diaper?) and Kristen. In the end Kristen was sent home, and way too calm about the whole thing. Next week’s challenge looks dramatic, two teams of six. Something tells me those huge egos are about to get even more inflated. Guess we’ll see next week! Until then, Auf Wiedersehen.
