Stay with us, kittens!

We're in the home stretch here! Sweet Baby Jesus, there are a lot of designers, aren't there?

"Pants are just two big sleeves sewn together."

Seriously, what is not to love about Chris? Funny, competent, and completely drama-free. He's quickly become one of our favorites, as we knew he would.

Watch, he'll continue to get ignored by the judges and auf'd on a technicality.

Nice! Well-tailored and stylish.

The problem?

The style says "1998."

It's well done; it's just that it has a "'90s Prada" vibe to it.

He's definitely got the goods to go all the way to the end, but his work so far does have that dated quality to it. Step up, 'ho! The sissybears are counting on you!

"I don't want to accidentally see your root chakra, so I'm just going to go over here and chant."

"Ready or not, here I come!"

Okay, it was kinda cute in its little girl naivete, but then again, isn't she like 42 years old? And isn't that a little...we don't know, unprofessional? You have to fit models and/or clients in this biz and sometimes, they have genitals that don't match your own. Deal.

Still, we love her. We would have paid money to see her spit on this guy.

As for the look, it's ... a look.

Maybe a little too Frodo for our tastes, but it certainly fit her hippychick aesthetic.

Plus, once again, she surprises us with her execution skills. For all of Elisa's quirks, she's definitely talented.

But just try and picture Tiki Barber in this. Impossible, right?

It's ToteGay! Your very own tiny little gay to carry around and bitch at you! Pull his widdle string and hear him say things like "Asians are fierce." and "I'm totally the fastest sewer in the room." Order now in time for Christmas!
Styling gel not included.

Again, it's a look. And kudos to Princess for being a bit original. The pants are kinda blah...

...but the jacket's really interesting, although the fit seems off. We like the lapels.

But we kinda hate the pockets.

What we really love is the shirt, which is gorgeous. We would wear that in a heartbeat. The pecs certainly don't hurt.

Yeah, we already used this picture. Sue us.

Now. Where were we?

We like. The white jacket is a bold choice that wouldn't look good on everyone but probably would've looked great on Tiki.

There's something weird going on with those pants, though. Poor boy's got saddlebags. And once again, those are the WRONG shoes. Is it us, or is the accessorizing way off this season?

Still, it's the jacket that makes the look. She was smart to make what looks like a simple t-shirt. It gave her more time to work on her other pieces and it lets the jacket do all the work visually. We really love the collar on this thing.

And the tailoring is almost dead-perfect.

Not much else to say than that. A well-executed, stylish look appropriate for the client and the venue. So of course, the judges completely ignored it.

We really loved this look. Sure it's a little too gay, a little too John Bartlett for Tiki Barber, but it was still a great look. There are a couple things wrong with the styling and tailoring, though. For one, those pants are too long.

For another, unless that boy's hung like a gay porn star, THAT's an insane crotch. But look! A BELT! HALLELUJAH!

Yes, the ascot was a ridiculously bad choice to make, but we loved that he used knitwear and we love the contrasting collar and cuffs. We kinda suspect that the ascot was a last-minute choice to cover up the fact that the collar is so wide. We wonder if people were having problems with their collars this week because Tiki's neck is so thick.

All in all, it's a stylish look that may not have been right for the client, but WE'D certainly wear it.

And kudos to Steven for hiding his erection while working.

Show of hands. Did anyone remember this outfit? They shoved all the well made outfits off the runway so fast that we completely forgot about it.

We've seen the previews. We know the bitchiness is coming, but dammit, we have to admit, she's talented. Possibly REALLY talented.

Besides, the "1930s showgirl" drag is growing on us a little.

This is an astonishingly accomplished and finished look. Four pieces and not an execution or finishing problem to be found anywhere.

Holy shit, are those the wrong shoes or what?

Seriously, look at that.

Shirt fabric's ugly, though.

The more we look at the other designs, the more the final decision of the judges smells like bullshit to us. This is a perfectly executed look that only needed a little color and a better fabric choice for the shirt.

And the more we look at that model, the more we want to see him naked.

This, on the other hand, we have problems with.

He probably should have laid off the uber-bitchy "I draped my own pants" taunting and put his energy into doing something with a little more style and pop to it.

Not that we minded the ass shot.

Don't get us wrong, this is also an impressively finished outfit. It's just that it lacks any style. You ask us, this was the Member's Only jacket in the group. To be fair, Lorenzo detects a bit of a Hugo Boss influence.

Kudos need to be paid for choosing to do sportswear instead of something more formal-looking, although it really doesn't look like something Tiki Barber would wear, let alone on the Today Show.

The problem is, he looks like a senior citizen in this outfit. Plus, where's the color Tiki asked for?

"Every one of the gay guys in the room was freaking out...being the only straight guy, I was like, whatever."

Dude, are you going to mention that EVERY WEEK? We GET IT. You're a big manly man clothing designer.

Although you wouldn't know it from this piece. Not the most masculine look in the world, is it?

Others have rolled their eyes and smirked at his constant declarations of heterosexuality and we're here to tell y'all: he's straight. He really is. Trust us, we have superb gaydar.

Eye candy!

To be honest, we kinda sympathize. Being a straight man in what is, in many ways, a gay man's world is pretty much exactly what most gay people go through, only in reverse. So, wave that unrainbow flag proudly, Kevin! Start your own Pride parade! You are straight AND you design clothes and you don't care who knows it! Huzzah!

As for the look, Lorenzo liked it; Tom only sort of liked it.

Big props need to be paid simply because it was for the most part, well-tailored. In a week when so many hot messes rolled down that runway, that should be lauded.

And big props also need to be paid for following the client's dictates. Tiki said he liked conservative looks with splashes of color and this definitely fits the bill. Heidi was dead-on when she said it looked like something David Beckham would wear, but given what Tiki asked for, that's not really a criticism.

The only real criticism we have is that the look is a little young, a little too "Backstreet Boy" for Tiki Barber.

Ricky honey, we nailed it. We said that once the judges hung the "boring" label on you, it would be near-impossible to shake it.

Was this boring? Sure. A little. Any less boring than Jack's winning design? Not on your life, which just goes to show how arbitrary and personality-based the judges' decisions can sometimes be.

Yes, the execution was a disaster, but his real mistake was in going for such an ambitious design in the first place. We didn't realize he lined that jacket until we watched it a third or 4th time. Beautiful lining too.

Just look at that. Girl, that was way too much to do in two days. He was going to do a VEST too? He should have gone with the vest and skipped the jacket, then.

He might have avoided this if he'd done so.

He also might have avoided this:

"Amorcito Mio, what the fuck. I'm falling asleep just looking at it. Why? Why did you make something that makes me fall asleep?"

"B-but it was for the Today Show. *snf*"

"Oh is THAT your excuse? Ha. And I suppose you stuck pins in it because it was the Today Show too?"

"I - I'm..."

"Don't you cry on my runway, chico."

They gave him way too much shit for what was a good, basic design that was appropriate for the client. Yeah, it was boring and yeah, it wasn't finished. In that regard, Ricky can just get in line with all the other designers who had the same problems. Kevin's vest was pinned together and the judge's just laughed about it.

Oh Tim, we think you were talking out your ass a little when you said this was the greatest group of designers inthe history of the world (or whatever it was you said), but you were dead-on when you said the judge's were going to really piss us off this season. Frankly, we're starting to suspect they're just playing to the cameras.
