Vote for your favorite designer at http://bit.ly/rlwDVi via@projectrunway. Now for my reviews on Episode 2 and 3.
The challenge for Episode 2 was to use unconventional materials from a Pet Store and it is amazing what creative minds can conceive. I must say I was disappointed with Bert's attitude towards this challenge. Just because you have immunity from elimination does not mean you must disregard the challenge. That should be the time you take a huge risk and experiment, but maybe that is just me. I would have taken the opportunity to come our of my comfort zone and think outside the box. Bert dropped out of my Top 3 because of the attitude and even more so because the outfit he sent out was not cute. The outfit made from bird seeds looked better than an outfit from fabric. Shame on you Bert, too early to get into Diva mode.
The outfits that I did like were: Anya's top I loved the colour combinations. I could rock that with some wide leg pants. I agree with the judges for the most part with the top three. I have an appreciation for Joshua M's design but it reminded me of the 80's a little too much and I would have put Anthony's birdseed dress as my first choice and Olivier's as my second.
Fallene oh Fallene, it is like you are getting lost and overwhelmed. I think the pressure is getting to you already. Same for Julie and Viktor, it is not quite coming together. I kind of see the vision but the execution is way off. There is no wow factor still for me seeing Kimberly, Cecile and Danielle's outfits.
Now I totally agree with sending Bryce home, it wasn't the worse outfit but being in the bottom last week, then playing it safe with mostly fabric wasn't the smartest choice. What happened to that belt you had when Tim Gunn came to look on your progress after the first day?. Bryce did not heed Tim's warning about take your cue from what you have done so far. The bottom of the outfit would have made it spectacular. Bryce you have a lot of potential I don't think a competition is the best way for it to come out. You are a laid back easy going person and stress is not your friend. I wish him luck and keep doing what you doing.
Now for Episode 3. The Go Big or Go Home Team Challenge. Nothing like a little Caribbean luck for Anya to be paired up with Olivier. I couldn't wait to see Olivier deal with colour. There was colour other than beige. The colours were still muted but at least we got some colour. The challenge for Episode 3 was an outdoor fashion show with models on Stills and if that wasn't challenging enough it was a team challenge.
Let the drama begin. The drama between Bert and Viktor partnering up was not surprising. Two Divas in one pen and as expected the results were disastrous. Once again, I am not loving Bert's attitude at all. Kids you need to play nice. The winning of the first challenge has clearly gone to his head but he surely got a rude awakening after this challenge. Their main problem was the choice in fabric. Viktor was so right in that comment and Bert could not even own up to it. Once again shame on you Bert.
So it was Project Runway's first outdoor fashion show which made it interested. Now the designer got to see the reaction of the audience as well. Which is tricky when you add a few additional feet to the model. I must say this episode did not really grab me. I got a little bored. No real wow factor for me.
Once again I agreed with the judges top 3 and bottom 3. Unfortunately they sent home Fallene and rightfully so, she choked in this challenge. Team Anthony and Laura won the challenge, with Laura getting immunity from eliminations for the next challenge. Well deserved.
So until Episode 4, remember Go Hard or Go Home.
