What a topsy-turvy episode of "Project Runway," right?
Very quickly, let's go over the challenge and each of the teams. Spoilers!
The Challenge: Create resort wear, but then have your partner execute your design.
The Teams:
Mondo/Michael C. - We heart Mondo. He was decidedly not happy to be paired with the most ostracized designer on "Runway," but he not only pulled off the technical aspects of the challenge, but was open enough to really get to know and learn to like the much maligned Michael. As for their designs, Mondo's might have been too "juniors," but it still fit his fun sensibility. We think he could have pushed it a tiny bit more. Michael C's was executed beautifully, but it was a bit expected. (Oh, and how cute were they being all Tweedle Dee and Dum on the couch after judgment?)
Valerie/Andy - We just love Valerie, and the recent blows to her ego have unfortunately been taking a toll on her designs. The two worked together well, and we'd like to order a few of Andy's gorgeous, slinky swimsuit/skirt/wrap combos please.
April/Christopher - Probably the team with the least drama, and thus sort of boring. April lucked out when Michael Kors came by and encouraged her to do that bottom with the sheer. It was a showstopper for sure, although it did remind us more of lingerie than a red carpet look, which is what guest judge Kristen Bell said she'd use it for. April deserved this win.
Casanova/Gretchen - Sorry, we love you Casanova, but not feeling the boring granny outfit, and neither did the judges. Auf Wiedersehen! We frankly can't even remember Gretchen's design, but we imagine it was classy and elegant and zzzzz!
Ivy/Michael D. - Sorry Mondo, you don't deserve the prize for enduring a bad partner. Michael D. does. Ivy's condescension, lack of integrity and quiet dragon lady-ishness was just frightening. (And as an Asian woman, I apologize for her scary intensity. Oh the stereotypes!). Frankly, we would have been fine with a double elimination with that bland number (and horrible attitude) of hers getting her the boot.
Our favorite part: Tim Gunn strikes unmitigated fear into their hearts when he walks into the room with the velvet bag with gold rope/tassels.
So, do you think Michael C. is redeemed? Is Ivy firmly on the bitch list or was she fair about wanting to protect her design?
