Episode Report Card Jeff Long: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT How Much Is That Doggie On That Dress?
By Jeff Long | Season 9 | Episode 2 | Aired on 08.04.2011
Olivier's dress is next and it's remarkable. He used a dog bed and hamster bedding. The top is sort of an unstructured thing of the dog bedding. The skirt is full and has an hombre effect where it gets darker towards the bottom. Well, I kind of like Becky's dress, so take that, Kimberly. She used aquarium flowers and they are all placed expertly. She's excited about the dress, though she's nervous about the colors.
Laura's look is next and she managed to save herself. The paper thing she was sewing covers her skirt, so no model booty hanging out. She has a strap across one-shoulder that I think is really neat. Josh M.'s is up. It's kinda cool. He waves his finger at his model all sassy-like as she walks the runway. The look is a short black skirt with just a little volume. He made a short sleeveless blouse that is completely beaded and looks really cool.
Afterwards, Danielle, Julie, Laura, Viktor, Becky, Cecilia, Kimberly, Anya and Bert are called forward. They are all through to the next challenge, however, Heidi tells Bert that he's very lucky that he had immunity. He agrees. As the safe people are leaving, the Joshes reach out and touch each other and I love it. All of the safe people celebrate backstage.
Bryce tells the judges that he used all pee pads. Michael is sick of "ugly napkin clothes." It never works, but Bryce fudged the styling too. Heidi doesn't think he manipulated the materials at all. Also, she doesn't know where his girl is going.
Everybody is digging Anthony's design. Nina loves the dramatic neckline and the tailoring. Olivier explains his design. Nina loves it. She finds the shape simple, yet dramatic. Michael thinks it's a very interesting use of materials. Stacy loves it. No one is digging the weird eyebrows.
Josh C. gets slammed for using conventional materials. Nina doesn't think it's terrible, but she thinks he was too safe. Josh M. gets praise. Nina loves the shape of the skirt. Heidi loves it too. Michael thinks he went overboard with the styling. Heidi is not excited about Fallene's silhouette. Stacy and Nina think that the accessories hurt as opposed to help the look. She agrees with them about everything -- she's not excited about it. Michael thinks it looks dated.
The judges confer. Heidi says that Bryce's outfit was one of the worst she has seen in a long time. Michael felt that Fallene was boring. They think that Josh C. played it too safe. They loved Josh M.'s top and all of the aquarium jewels. Nina loved the pattern of the top but she thought his styling was off. They loved Anthony's look except for the length. Stacey liked Olivier's dress, except for the fit. Heidi and Nina don't agree about who is best.
