Wow, that's one awful outfit. What woman wants to be known as nothing but legs and a sci-fi shoulder pad? But the most awful thing to me is that it has a matching purse. Because, you know, when you're wearing a dress that hides your head but requires a bikini wax, your accessories must be impeccable.

Poor Suede, he had the most outfits on that first page of most hideous. Interestingly, on the 100 most fabulous looks Leanne gets higher billing than any of the others, with three of hers coming in at least before anyone else's (I didn't look further than that).

I think Leanne's collection is too cohesive for me. Partly, I didn't like the concept, so the same concept explored over and over for me was blah. Kenley's seems to me to have no cohesion, although they're all very Kenley, so perhaps that's cohesion enough. I liked Korto's best of the three.

Of the next three, Jerrell's was the best, so he definitely deserved to be 4th, although I didn't like his as much as the top three. Joe's pretty much sucked. Suede's was clearly panned (and I didn't like his color palette).

Why is it that when Kenley is rude, you dismiss that, but when other's are rude to her, they "lose your respect as people"? It seems inconsistent to me.

Sorry about that random apostrophe in the last paragraph. Please forgive me.

Yes, I saw that Leanne had several of the "most fabulous" looks. Of the top three, I liked Leanne's the best overall, though all the designers had some things that I thought were really cute and other things that I didn't like. I was amused to see Korto with several "50s style dresses." Perhaps Kenley wore off on her. *lol*

Of the next three, I didn't really like any of them. I thought Suede's were all hideous, Jerrell's were mostly hideous, and Joe had a few things that weren't so bad.

--Why is it that when Kenley is rude, you dismiss that, but when others are rude to her, they "lose your respect as people"? It seems inconsistent to me.--

In general, I don't think that Kenley has been rude. She's loud, doesn't take criticism well, and the other designers (possibly the judges also) found her personality abrasive, but that's not the same thing. The only incident that struck me as possibly rude was the time when she laughed, apparently at the judge's negative comments toward another designer. However, I've said before that I ( ... )

Oy, I see a starved appearance remains the rule on the runway. I saw a couple of rather butch-looking outfits (I assumed that was why they were in the hall of shame...) on a model who actually appeared to have some muscle tone in her arms and was beginning to think maybe things are looking up...then I saw the same model in cropped pants. Oops...he's a guy, no way a female model's legs could be that hairy! I swear, my upper arms used to be bigger than that when I was in shape (now they are still bigger, just not in a good way, lol).

Yup, waif-like still seems the norm. :-/
