Julie's Droat
Which brings up to this weeks challenge...
Cut to morning after Cecelia's wishing to go home. She is still wanting to be home, and is depressing. The boxes of running shoes and shirts is a sign of some kind of physical event. Thankfully, Cecelia asks to leave. Why didn't she do that last night?! Really, I would have loved to see Julie run. I have a feeling she would have mowed over Josh and elbowed him out of the way to get to the finish. I loved Josh's comment, “ I am gonna wail on them and leave them in my dust.” And he does! Who says gay men can't run.
I knew we were in for juice back stabbing, insult throwing, work room banter when Tim announced team challenge and teams of three. Any one knows three is a BAD group number. However, it certainly made for some excellent reality TV, no? Even before it starts Bert is whining… "Another team project? Wa wa! I don’t want to work with any of them. There designs suck. I am great. They suck and I am not going to work with them." Well he sort of said that...
Victor says "I wanna win!" Hmmm, he is determined and I think ready to get his game on. Bryce and Anthony round out the team leaders and the picking begins. Bert is the last man picked, and rightly so. he is a spoiled grumpy old man, and he lives up to this description.
Teams are: 1 - Anthony, Laura, and Bert....any group with Bert is going to be drama filled.
2 - Viktor, Oliver, and returning form the being "Out," Mormon Highs "Most Likely to be
Gay (but will never come out of closet because of religion)" Josh C. He is a cute bald
guy, but he the most gay acting straight man I have ever watched. But hey, a nice guy
and probably a great team mate.
3 - Joshua, Anya and Becky...Sparks are just waiting to fly, as Joshua has a mouth that lacks
an edit function and he is just rude and spiteful sometimes.
4 - Bryce, Kimberly, and Danielle. Thought they might be least drama filled group, and I
was right.
I forgot to mention Oliver's crash and burn. First he crashes on the track. Ouch! then as he is getting looked at, Oliver passes out!! I love how Tim and Heidi are like, “Oh, my…Did he just pass out? That can’t be good” drolls Tim. “They are dropping like flies!” Says Heidi. Funny. Waiting for Tim to say, “Well, he’ll have to make it work.”
The groups get to work designing before heading off to mood. The teams are suppose to design 3 cohesive looks to go with Heidi's New Balance shoes. I think they were given the denim and suede from the shoes to use and then purchase other fabrics to mix with it. I had to laugh as they seem to all be forgetting it's about the shoes, and designing outfits to be worn with the shoes. Really Bert, ruffle tiers with tennis shoes? What is Josh saying? Leggings are so over? OMG!! Not sure what planet he is on. But where I sit, leggings are still "current." By the end of the time to design, Bert's got his uncooperative wall up and it stays the whole episode. Becky is getting pushed aside by Joshua and Anya, and she is beginning to wonder what she is in for with the other two designers.
When Tim says they only had from 3:30 PM to 11 PM to design and sew, my jaw dropped. Impossible, but sets the workroom for lots of emotion and drama. When Tim says “I am such a nag.” It sounds cute, but according to my children, I am not a cute sounding nag. Maybe if I wore a suit and tie...
Heidi comes in to critique and I am wanting to scream...“Think of your designs with sneakers.” Hello people!! What is the mater with all of you? SNEAKERS!! I have never seen a bunch of misguided people in my life. This is sports wear, not evening wear. Think gym, think lounging, hanging out at home, going from gym to errand running. Not the club, the cover of Vogue, not the office. Jeez people, put the brain in gear. Heidi is perplexed and waves her magic wand and grants them 5 more hours of working time. Work time ends at 4AM. Now we all know midnight is the bewitching hour and soon witches will come out.
Becky quickly learns that Joshua will throw her under the bus and is trying to be more involved than just a seamstress for the two others. When she offers to make a shirt, Joshua's ugly mouth goes to work. Basically telling her she designs dowdy garments and will never be designing anything for the challenge. Joshua is the meanest person ever!!! I am ready to hit that man. There is no way to back pedal out of “Your dresses are dowdy.” “ Your aesthetic is 40 to death.” Really Becky you have to let that “man” be hung on his own hubris. Hopefully, some loose piece of fabric will be grabbed and wrapped around his head and stuffed in that mean spewing mouth. No fav of mine. Thank god he apologized. He’s right, when he says time to move on and sew.
Meanwhile Anthony and Laura are trying to work with Bert. Bert, is just a cranky old man. Especially as he comments, "My garment is going to be clean, modern, and fresh. Not looking like it’s from the Midwest.” What the? (I amd a card carrying Midwestern chick!) However I had to laugh when he and Joshua minced words over a sewing machine and Bert says "Drop dead, Joshua!" and Joshua replies, “Bert you are closer to death than me.”
Runway was interesting. No clear team winner, but Viktor's team had the most attractive and cohesive garments. Viktor's jacket/dress combo is awesome! T-shirt and pant looks good, but Oliver just wouldn't change his farmer skirt. Leaves me to ask, why don't the designers listen to critiques! Heidi said she didnt' like skirt then and she still didn't like it later. Good work Team Viktor!
Team Joshua also did well. Joshua did try to put Becky under the bus as they liked her garment least. However, she did speak up and let them know he didn't let her design much. I think Becky deserved an award for lasting through Joshua. He did try to own up to his faults and keeping the team on track.
Team Bryce did well too, but they had some issues with Danielle's look. Bryce got props for team management and his dress. Michael Kors was in love with it. Poor Danielle got ripped for her weird pop of green and top fabrication. They are not happy with her work.
Team Anthony did not do well. The judges liked Bert's dress of the three, but over all not impressed with their team. Laura and Anthony really get eaten alive. But they chew up and spit out poor Anthony's garment. Michael Kors mentions it is too big and has a camel toe in the crotch. Bert snickers, “It has a camel butt too.” Bert is just too happy that the other too are getting reamed. I hate his contrite behavior. Please grow up Bert.
When the teams are brought back Heidi says she gets to change the rules and Victor's outfit and Anya's dress win. Leaving Anthony and Danielle on the chopping block. Poor blubber Anthony, is just crumbling and Danielle is stoic as she get offed. Stop crying Anthony, you’re in!!! Heidi tells him if her opinion was only one, he’d be out. Yikes! Sniff Sniff. Bye Bye Danielle.
Since a team project is out of the question for me (who'd be my team? The cats? Kids?) and even with my super woman knee replacement I would have been last across the finish line. So, I am not doing this challenge. If I had been a team captain I'd have chosen Bert and Anthony just for the fun of having to make them work together. Now that would have been DRAMA!! Bwahahahahahah
