I just watched the ep. LOVE Mark (even before he won lol), as well as Yopi and Kellyanne personality-wise. If Amber stays for much longer I think I’ll have to shoot myself.
But honestly I think that she should have been eliminated. I think these judges are too fixated on how saleable the garment is rather than how creative or risky the designer has been. I know that being a designer is about making clothes for people to actually wear but I do think that Jason’s gown (although hideous) showed a lot more potential, ingenuity and even taste than Amber’s “Lindsay Lohan” inspired number. The fact that she has stated that she doesn’t even want to be a designer means that she shouldn’t be there in the first place. She is another Riley from Farmer Wants a Wife.
Apart from Amber, this season is shaping up to be really good, with lots of talented designers and great personalities

Great recap! Leeeeetle disappointed that Amber wasn’t ditched tonight. Henry should’ve maced her after her response to his review “fashion-forward.. it’s a bandage dress”. Um, Amber? 1997 called and said it was on the phone to 1986 [or 1988, RetroGirl!] and neither of them are happy with the mashup of their year 12 formal dresses. They were totally keeping them for their daughters to laugh at.

I agree – Michael might be in denial about his prickdom. I hope so! His hair is… lustrous. Very lustrous.

Anthony certainly didn’t need to clarify anything about his gender. His prominent Adam’s apple, stubble, and otherwise manly features did that. Guyliner doesn’t hypnotise, dude.

Loved Kellyanne’s line about her tits [and, BTW, love all the swearing - it's so nice not to have it sanitised], but the boobs on her sketches looked weirdly skew.

Was it weird that Claudia’s approach to impressing the models was to jump up and down, yelling “pick me! Pick me!”? I did feel sorry for her, and Mark, who were the last two to be chosen. Go Mark! I knew he’d have super Clark Kent powers! RR – you think he’s boring… I think he’s sweet. Sweet, sweet Mark! Safe for next week too!

Liked Mark’s and William’s red carpet looks. Thought Claudia’s was fab – and would have been perfect for me for last Saturday night – but not very “red carpet”. Would love to see Anthony’s on Cate.

This was my 1st Australian Project Runway and I have to say I think Kristy’s fab. At first I was a bit alienated by the very heavy fringe, but loved the way she hosted and moderated the judge talk.

I think Amber is staying in because she is going to be great TV etc. They always get rid of the boring ones first, and Jason did appear to be a bit dull, as well as having no taste. I think his was the worse. Laura’s was pretty simple as well and unoriginal.

I thought Amber should have been eliminated – her dress was hideous and was just as 80′s as Jason’s (in fact my year 10 formal dress in 1988 was hot pink and black but we won’t go there!). It was too short for the red carpet, was badly made, had a broken zip, was unflattering and she tried to mix 2 fabrics that Nicola said would ‘never work’ together yet she wasn’t even in the bottom 2.
