If someone is writing Kristy’s lines then they should be sacked – it may be true that ugly doesn’t sell (and she liked the line so much she said it twice), but nor do dresses made from fruit and vegetables, so it was hardly an appropriate observation for the challenge.
I loved Ivana’s dress.

Ivana’s ws pretty and deserving of the win. BUT- she was rested and refreshed after being out awhile. When I am in charge, the only way designers will get a chance to come back is at the final challenge. Unfair….

A meat and two veg challenge would have made better viewing.

Ivana’s outfit was amazing. The cabbage looked like really luxurious fabric. She certainly deserved her win.

I thought they overdid the praise on Lauren’s outfit. The onion skins were great but the shape of the dress itself was pretty blah.

I wasn’t’ overly keen on Anthony’s outfit but that might be just that I was thinking how it would look on a more average sized body. The bodice was so low and the hips so wide, it looked unflattering. Having said that, the colour was fabulous.

I liked William’s dress, particularly the skirt which was beautiful. Mark’s outfit was VERY blah but Yopie’s was definitely the worst. I expected that if Mark & Yopie’s outfits were equally bad, Yopie would be the one to go home as Mark has been so strong on the majority of challenges.

I don’t think that I’ve liked any of the outfits that Kristy has worn yet, you’d think they’d be really careful since everyone watching is going to be critiquing her outfit just as much as the designers’ themselves.

The Runway show on Tuesday certainly has me fired up for the last few episodes! I’m going to seek out Shear Genius to suss out Amberrenae’s fit for the role – she should be snapped up to host something (and should be on the lookout for her very own Brad and Taylor to keep it interesting…!).

I loved the fact that the girls missed Michael because he had been doing their hair. Couldn’t they at least have pretended they missed him?

I actually felt a bit sorry for the models when Yopie threw the eco-system out. Then it was all flashbacks to school sport again and that’s good for nobody.

The music for Henry’s creep up the stairs sounded like the Inspector Gadget theme song. And wouldn’t the early-morning wake up and kiss constitute an unsafe work environment? One of the women voiced over that he was trying to pull her blankets off… It was a wee bit icky.

My favourite William comment was “I’ve made a lot of things out of food before. But. I’ve. Eaten. Them.” Hee! Mark must’ve been so disappointed with his get-up, given his stated intention to produce fashion with produce, “…not just some crazy-arsed costume with spuds on it”. All his crazy-arsed costume was missing was spuds! Take me to your leader, indeed.

Like you, I thought William’s looked fun and pretty and not too much like “food”. Lauren’s was clever, but Anthony and Ivana’s designs and execution were astonishing. So lovely.

“I want to see the produce on your packaging” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as “I want to see the passion in your fashion” as Henry’s catchphrase.

As for Kristy and “ugly doesn’t sell”, that really made me laugh. Sorry, I should say Kristy’s delivery of the “ugly doesn’t sell” line was a clever nod by the scriptwriters to the audience’s responses to some of her apparel so far. Funny, though. And I’ve been lukewarm (actually, no, I’ve been COLD) on Kristy’s fringe, but her slicked-back ‘do at the beginning of the show made me pine for the fringe.
