Heidi: "I brought in eleven of my children to be models in this challenge. I'm pretty sure I have more at home. I had some boys, right?"
Awwww! They're adorable!
Tim: "And they're real girls! With real curves!"
Right. Anyway, last week Anthony won with a dress I didn't love but accept as being very appropriate for the challenge. Anna was eliminated for an outfit that was not as ugly as Janeane's but was so boring it was like being hit in the face by an episode of Grey's Anatomy:
Anna: "I've never made three pieces before."
Are you sure? Because this was the fifth challenge, so it seems like you must have made more than three pieces.
Anna: "No, I mean I had never made three pieces that went together before."
Oh. Well, you still haven't.
In model news, Kasey is out and Alexis could be genuinely crazy. Alexis tells everyone that she had this hilarious dream about Megan getting really fat. Shockingly, Megan is annoyed:
Alexis: "Well, I just looked it up and it turns out that dreaming about someone getting fat means prosperity! Not for Megan, of course. She'll just get fat. But the important thing is I'll be rich!"
We start the episode with Janeane being about as upbeat as possible, for her:
Janeane: "I had an amazing opportunity last week and, of course, I blew it."
That's the spirit, Janeane!
Heidi introduces us to her girls and the designers inform us that children are often smaller than adults and they are really frightening. Also, some of the designers don't have children:
Jonathan: "I had my tubes tied."
In the design room, Mila pretends that she's getting along with the other designers:
Mila: "It's so hilarious that everyone is mocking me for always using color blocking in my designs! Ooh, look at me; I only know how to do one thing! Ha ha! See? I'm totally in on the joke!"
Yeah, that wasn't uncomfortable at all. Good for Mila!
After a day of working on outfits for the little girls, Tim tells the designers they will have one more day to make a corresponding look for their adult models.
So, the designers are working and it's Anthony's turn to annoy everyone with his jabbering:
Anthony: "So my mom was coughing in church and everyone was all 'Who is that coughing in church?' and so my mom was all 'Maybe I should stop coughing in church' and then everyone went home and had lunch."
The other designers surgically remove Anthony's vocal cords.
On the day of the runway, the little girls are running around the work room, making little outfits and styling each other and basically demonstrating more talent and creativity than most of the designers:
Jonathan: "It's like Three Mile Island in here!"
Tim gives his final words of advice:
Tim: "Please use the Bluefly wall theoretically."
On to the runway with guest judge Tory Burch:
Anthony - He made two perfectly nice dresses that were not very interesting and didn't seem to have anything to do with each other.
Amy - Weird. The little girl's outfit was cute but the adult outfit was inexplicable. The adult look was more juvenile than the children's look. Also, the girl was dressed for fall and the adult was dressed for spring.
Ben - He made two looks with his signature cap sleeves. I found both looks boring.
Seth Aaron - Oh, my god. Adorable. If he doesn't win this, I will renounce my U.S. citizenship and move to Canada.
Jesse - Both outfits are beautifully made and look good together. The asymmetry of the little girl's dress seemed completely random and the adult dress looked a bit too sexy for the challenge; but, other than that, I think he did a good job.
Jonathan - He used white ruffles for both dresses. The girl's dress isn't great, but I actually like the adult dress. As with Jesse's looks, I don't know where this mother and daughter would be going. A cocktail party?
Maya - She made two nice outfits with yellow jackets. I just don't like them together. The outfits look too similar and yet the yellows are off so that they clash with each other.
Mila - She made A-line color-blocked tunics that are pretty cute and look good together. The only thing I don't like is the print fabric trim on the little girl's dress.
Emilio - He made a really old-fashioned pink dress that you could buy almost anywhere and was way too young for his client. For his adult model, he made a pretty dress in a clashing shade of pink. I'm not impressed.
Janeane - Not that bad, really. But not good. The adult look isn't very well made and the little girl's dress looks like no effort went into it.
Jay - He made two cute purple and black outfits with ruffles. Very sophisticated. He did a great job.
Jay, Jesse, and Seth Aaron are the top three. Seth Aaron's child model loves the purse:
Nina: "THAT IS SO CUTE I THINK I'M GOING TO DIE!"
And Nina's heart grew three sizes that day.
The bottom three are Amy, Janeane, and Jonathan. Michael thinks Jonathan's model, Brandise, looks like she's covered in toilet paper, which she really doesn't. It's actually a cute dress; just not completely appropriate for this challenge.
The judges think Amy's child model looks like she dressed in the dark and her adult model looks like a circus performer. Both are fair complaints. But there is one complaint that I don't get:
Tory Burch: "I don't think orange and blue are complementary."
Well, then you haven't taken a basic color theory class, where you would have learned that orange and blue are practically the definition of complementary colors. Dumb-ass.
Anyway, Jonathan and Amy are safe because they over-designed their garments. Janeane is out because she under-designed her garments. Sorry Janeane! We'll miss that positive attitude:
Janeane: "This won't be the last you'll see of me. I'm sure I'll be doing something in the future. It probably won't be very impressive, but I'll be doing something."
Seth Aaron wins! I guess I don't need to move to Canada. Well, there's always the midterm elections. Anyway, I'm officially throwing my support behind Seth Aaron. He's intelligent and well-spoken:
Tim: "And he smells nice!"
That's right, Tim! I think he's a designer the American people will vote for!

I've had a total crush on Seth Aaron from episode one, and I'm SO relieved he actually has talent and - so far - an appealing personality to go along with his hotness. I also like that he seems to be a straight dude who doesn't feel compelled to tell us every episode about how straight he is. and the outfit he made is FIERCE. and the little purse was right on - little girls (and some little boys) LOVE their handbags.
I liked Jesse's too, which annoyed me, because I hate Jesse. He looks too much like Ethan Hawke and has a shite attitude.
Janeane was never cut out for competition. Poor girl. But she's married! so she's one up on me!
Isn't it refreshing to have a guy who doesn't need to tell us constantly how much he loves his wife or complain about how hard it is to be straight in the fashion industry?
Oh, yes on the whole Seth Aaron thing! Yea for the MTV Refugee!!
Also, Beginning Color Theory ... I really need to find such a class. Basically, a basic theory class in color, design and food. Since I don't know jack about any of that and am so envious of people who understand it all, seemingly innately.
Which is probably why Jaeane's kid's outfit looked like something I would have made.
Cliff, this is how insulated my world is: I thought everyone took color theory in college. Could it be that some people went to school and took real classes? LOL!
Oh, so NOW everyone's on board with Seth Aaron, huh? I pegged it from day 1 my friend. ; )
The Mila thing was a little pathetic. She wants so much to be accepted by the cool kids that she has deluded herself into thinking she's one of them when really they are just making fun of her.
Tory Burch, just go away. Orange and blue don't go together? What planet are you from? Not that the outfits were that attractive, but that's not the reason they were unattractive. I say Amy will be back on track next week.
Yes, Lovemesomeseth, you were there first! LOL!
I've been a fan from the first episode, which I thought he should have won. But now I think I've officially joined Team Seth.
I actually enjoyed your recap more than the show itself. I now know I must wear waterproof mascara while reading your posts! I laughed so hard I cried!
