Name | Odds | Movement | Our Take | |
Christian | 10:1 | - | Created separation from the pack with yet another gem. Will be tough to beat at Bryant Park. | |
Jillian | 7:1 | Hot pants were, uh, hot. Has replaced Rami as competition's clear #2. | ||
Rami | 4:1 | Slipped up with fuscia thing than Nina Garcia rightfully hated. Could be the surprise auf victim tonight. | ||
Chris | 1:2 | - | Luckily for Chris, challenge was as cheesy as he is. Though he did nail the leopard print. | |
Sweet P | 1:2 | - | Only survived with this mess because Ricky's was even more awful. |
Name | Odds | Movement | Our Take | |
Christian | 12:1 | - | Had immunity and still delivered something innovative and cool. Might be an immature dick, but kid's for real. | |
Rami | 12:1 | - | "Zippery" dress was outstanding and repositioned him as Christian's main competition. | |
Jillian | 8:1 | - | Designed a real stinker, though clearly in the top 3 who will go to the finals. | |
Ricky | 4:1 | Provided overwhelming evidence of the "blind squirrel - nut" cliche by actually winning a challenge. Cried. Perhaps over the fact his win did not provide immunity. Has the hottest model, which helps. | ||
Chris | 3:1 | Snuck by with this, which isn't easy for a man weighing 350 pounds. | ||
Sweet P | 2:1 | - | Tim Gunn's sharp eye accurately called her dress "Happy-Hands-At-Home Granny Circle." Judges' high rating of patchwork awfulness calls them all into question, especially the chick from Levi's. |
Name | Odds | Movement | Our Take | |
Christian | Off | Made the most stunning piece of the season. Kid is now perhaps the front-runner. | ||
Jillian | 15:1 | Another solid outing. Could win now that Rami has slipped so badly. | ||
Victorya | 12:1 | Combined with Jillian and done good. Two strong outings in a row after nearly getting auffed has her near the top. | ||
Rami | 10:1 | Two bad weeks in a row has us gravely concerned. Judges seem increasingly annoyed by his routine. | ||
Chris | 4:1 | - | Sucked off Christian's teat. A goner but not before Sweet P. | |
Ricky | 4:1 | - | Cried. Made another baby-doll. | |
Sweet P | 2:1 | - | Luck will run out tonight. |
Name | Odds | Movement | Our Take | |
Victorya | Off | Stabilized after a poor outing with the winning dress. Has enough talent to make the final 3. | ||
Rami | 15:1 | Had immunity, which was fortunate given this granny fiasco. | ||
Jillian | 15:1 | - | Made one of the only dresses that didn't make a mockery of the challenge. Still contending with Rami for the crown. | |
Christian | 12:1 | - | Clearly didn't seem to care, just to prove a point. Admirable! | |
Kit | 10:1 | - | Cheese oozed from this one; skated by only because everything else was bad, too. | |
Chris | 4:1 | - | With Rami, made an ugly green prom dress. Already voted off once, with reason. | |
Ricky | 4:1 | - | Cried. Made more lingerie. How he survives is anyone's guess. | |
Sweet P | 2:1 | - | Like a blind squirrel, happened to find a nut, but headed auf next. |
Name | Odds | Movement | Our Take | |
Rami | Off | Killed it with his highly-integrated brand presentation. Clearly the best designer of the bunch. | ||
Jillian | 20:1 | Twizzlers dress was hot. Might contend with Rami for the crown. | ||
Christian | 18:1 | Reeses wrapper dress pretty damn good too. Cocky but can back it up. | ||
Kevin | 15:1 | Very ordinary piece passable, yet we sense slippage. | ||
Kit | 12:1 | Kit used Kit-Kats (get it?) to make a highly branded look. Will hang around for a while. | ||
Victorya | 10:1 | Was really slumming it with Elisa and Sweet P with this mistake. | ||
Chris | 6:1 | Somehow managed a visit to the Hershey's store and exit under his own power. Also somehow managed to create a pretty damn impressive dress. | ||
Ricky | 4:1 | - | Made lingerie out of Hershey's wrappers. Miraculously did not cry. | |
Sweet P | 2:1 | Kiss dress was bland and she deserved to get tossed last week. Just a matter of time. |
Name | Odds | Movement | Our Take | |
Christian | Off | Everything is fierce, and Tim Gunn nailed him on it on last week's show. Immune from elimination. | ||
Rami | 25:1 | - | Last outfit good enough to at least get into the final three. Still a leader of the pack. | |
Kevin | 25:1 | - | Kinda got robbed last week. We liked his outfit better than winner Christian's. | |
Jillian | 20:1 | Still gaining confidence. Now the strongest female contestant. | ||
Kit | 15:1 | Eclipsed by Jillian as the best woman, though still solid. | ||
Victorya | 15:1 | If there is a team competition left her bitchiness could lead to sabotage. | ||
Elisa | 10:1 | Doesn't suck quite as badly as we originally thought. | ||
Sweet P | 7:1 | Will survive another week only because Chris has returned to the competition. | ||
Ricky | 4:1 | We'll see if he's able to not cry this episode. | ||
Chris | 2:1 | Now he's the one hanging by a thread, and at 350 lbs. that's not a very good thing. |
Name | Odds | Movement | Our Take | |
Rami | 30:1 | - | Steady-Eddie. A strong bet to make the finals. | |
Kevin | 30:1 | - | Nailed the shorts. Continues to be a leader. | |
Victorya | 20:1 | Showdown with Ricky highlighted her bitchiness, superiority. | ||
Kit | 20:1 | - | Potentially one of the women in the finals. | |
Jillian | 20:1 | Was wearing outdated trend (overalls) and then managed to nail the outdated trend (overalls). Dramatically gaining confidence. | ||
Christian | 15:1 | Everything is fierce. Just plain fierce. Has a fierce eye for being just 21. | ||
Steven | 10:1 | Disasterous dancewear look was truly awful, and yet he seemed to like it. Really disappointed us last week. | ||
Elisa | 7:1 | - | Alien manages to stick around another week or two. | |
Jack | 6:1 | We're calling his Week 3 win an abberation. | ||
Sweet P | 3:1 | - | Hanging on by a thread. Get it? | |
Ricky | 2:1 | - | Somehow managed to survive 4th round, in spite of a bad design and a beatdown from Victorya. Remains our favorite to be eliminated. |
Name | Odds | Movement | Our Take | |
Rami | 40:1 | - | Continues to impress, though no longer the obvious front-runner. | |
Kevin | 40:1 | - | At this point a co-favorite with Rami. | |
Steven | 30:1 | - | Sense of humor, talent keeps him firmly in the upper tier. | |
Victorya | 20:1 | Partnership with headcase Ricky jeopardizes her position. | ||
Kit | 20:1 | - | Witty blonde has distinquished herself as a contender. | |
Jack | 15:1 | We've misjudged Jack, and for that we're sorry. | ||
Chris | 15:1 | Cannot possibly win, but talented enough to last a few more weeks. | ||
Jillian | 10:1 | Ralph Lauren experience helped with last challenge, though her invisibility is a red flag. | ||
Christian | 10:1 | - | Age may end up limiting his ability to stay. | |
Elisa | 8:1 | "Different" 42 year-old has righted the ship after a very shaky start, but c'mon. | ||
Sweet P | 4:1 | Not quite as doomed as Ricky, yet still doomed. | ||
Ricky | 2:1 | Partnership with talented Victorya will further highlight weakness. Double-plus doomed. |
Name | Odds | Movement | Our Take | |
Victorya | Off | Brilliant Round 2 design confirms her role as contender, in spite of Asian-Americanness. | ||
Rami | 50:1 | - | Did nothing to harm his front-runner position. | |
Kevin | 50:1 | - | Partner on Victorya's stunning success. Has chops to be the overall winner. | |
Steven | 40:1 | Picked first in simulated grade-school dodgeball team selection, and for reason. | ||
Kit | 30:1 | Architected potentially winning look in Round 2. We like her chances to go deep into competition. | ||
Jillian | 20:1 | Has done nothing special so far, though seems competent. | ||
Chris | 20:1 | Nearly crushed sofa next to Sarah Jessica Parker with 350lb. frame, yet demonstrated talent to last a while. | ||
Elisa | 10:1 | Bravo and judges realize the benefit of keeping self-proclaimed alien as part of competition for a few more weeks. | ||
Christian | 10:1 | Flirtation with '80s look nearly cost him elimination, deeply shook our confidence. | ||
Carmen | 8:1 | Trying too hard; highly annoying. | ||
Sweet P | 7:1 | Somehow played second fiddle to the weird-o Elisa. Early ousting forthcoming. | ||
Jack | 5:1 | - | Continues to give us no reason to expect a long stay. | |
Ricky | 3:1 | Emotional trainwreck and stuck in lingerie design mode. Doomed. |
Name | Odds | Our Take | |
Rami | Off | Winner of first show not going anywhere. | |
Kevin | 50:1 | Deep resume, talent, and confidence make for an unlikely early departure. | |
Christian | 40:1 | In spite of youth (21), a real contender. Though flamboyantly gay man already won Season 1. | |
Marion | 40:1 | Cool, detached. Likely to last a while. | |
Steven | 30:1 | Egghead appears to have staying power. | |
Kit | 25:1 | Sassy chick owns the best quote so far: "Life is too short to have on a bad outfit." Magnificent Bastards agree wholeheartedly. | |
Victorya | 20:1 | Asian-American already a PR winner, but will stick a few rounds. | |
Sweet P | 15:1 | Liklihood of a 46 year-old named "Sweet P" making it to mid-season: zilch. | |
Carmen | 15:1 | Middle-of-the-packer. | |
Jillian | 10:1 | Small-town girl and it shows. | |
Chris | 10:1 | Extreme girth, sloth nearly cost him first challenge. | |
Jack | 5:1 | From central casting. Cardboard cutout has more charisma, only slightly less talent. | |
Ricky | 7:2 | Lingerie designer blew a babydoll on Round 1. Confidence shattered. | |
Elisa | 1:3 | Freaky-deaky earth momma deserved to get the boot on Week 1. Our Jimmy the Greek Lead Pipe Lock. |
