*spoilers!
this week was the sports wear challenge or the challenge the designers usually hate the most because they are all "artists" and can't be bothered to design sports wear. i do have to say there wasn't much complaining from the designers on this being the sports wear challenge, and i think it has to do with the fact that they're still hung up on the teams. they just need to embrace the teams and move on; i'm looking at you, dream team.
but really, a ping-pong club/bar? really? and i can't believe that Susan Sarandon owns it. oh boy! so this challenge had the teams/designers design new uniforms for SPiN New York. the uniforms have to be sporty and functional (ah functional, a word the designers do not understand very well), and the uniforms have to be for guys and gals. oh boy!
i love watching the teams brainstorm and come up with ideas. when Joseph suggested harem pants, i wanted to die. no boy in the "real" world would want to wear harem pants; when he was talking about his cat sweaters, i was like "no fucking way." i can't believe thousands of people are buying this sweater, well actually i can. i can see them on half the population here in Austin. i guess if you're ingenious enough to come up with the cat sweater, then you know what's going on. but still, $78 for that sweater, really?
watching Cindy and Benjamin working together was enjoyable. she was getting all sassy and shit. Benjamin was just trying to help her, and he's worked in this business, so i would listen to him a bit. but Benjamin should've been watching James. James is weak, and maybe the team is just letting him kill himself off. that's kind of what James did to himself.
let's talk about the teams:
the dream team - they are so afraid to lose again. they just didn't have their crap together.
Michelle - her dress was cute and very sporty.
Samanatha and Tu - ok.
*James- i liked the pants, but the judges hated them. the logo on the back pockets were tacky. but the t-shirt was god-awful. he just can't construct a shirt.
*Benjamin and Cindy - just boring. when they said they wanted to dress up a sporty place, i was like "what?"
*Matthew and Benjamin - i liked the kilt, but i can see how it wouldn't fly with most men.
team keeping it real - at the beginning of the episode, they were a hot mess. they just were working on their own designs, but they came together and seemed to work very well together. it showed, and they won the challenge.
*Layana and Daniel - it was very cute, and i liked how it was a skort.*Stanley - it was a nice design. very strong and masculine.
Kate and Patricia - it was cute. i liked the shirt, especially its back.
Amanda - it was ok. very short.
*Joseph and Richard - i did not like the pants. drop crotch are not my favorite. but the judges liked it.
i'm glad Layana won, and that Daniel said he thought she should win the challenge over him because he already won the first one. what a gentleman.
and i'm very glad that James was sent home. i didn't mind his taste, but in the two challenges they were just boring and poorly constructed. and he wasn't a team player at all. he needed to go.
