OK it seems I'm one of the few watching this season. Can't say I blame everyone. Anyway the Lingerie Challenge was ghastly on so many levels! Only Ashley seemed to make a bra and panty that fit and looked like something in a current color combo (Zak got outvoted by Heidi on this one). Swapnil tried way too hard--well everyone was trying hard but completely incompetent at fitting or even understanding the female form. Hideous loose straps, raw edges, loose fits, misdirections, no boob support, 80's colors and panties--ghastly! But when that eternal grandma-dress-and-clown-hat-and-clown-hair wearing Murlene not only survived, but won, and won big, I was gobsmacked!!! What??? That feeble attempt at a bondage look (?) was ugly, raw and did not fit! No bra CUPS. "architectural." Hmmph! However, I was consoled by the fact that "Princess Blakie" and his mincing cluelessness and sub-par sewing skills finally got auffed.

Blake's "naivete" about women's bodies was ridiculous! He's a poor man's Christian Siriano and didn't have an ounce of talent.

NYFW Project RunwayMy comments are in a spoiler below. {Spoiler}It looks like there's a top 3 and 3 decoys. Swapnil and Ashley have to be in the top 3.
I'm not sure who the third person is. However, the rest of the top 6 seems to be Merline (hats), Kelly (fanny packs), Candice (red and black?), and Edmund (ruffle dresses?).
I think Swapnil will win, and I'm okay with that. I didn't love his collection though. Maybe it will look better in motion, but I don't like a lot of the colors that he used.
Also, I really liked that Ashley used plus size models in her collection, but I didn't like it at all.
Merline's was too boring to me. I also don't want Kelly to win because I hate fanny packs even if some of her outfits without the fanny packs, at least I think they were her's, were nice to look at.
I liked some of the ruffle dresses, but it was hit and miss. I really liked some of Candice's collection, or what I think is her collection, but if she has all those black outfits, I don't think she's going to win because those look pretty basic and boring.

Last weeks show where the women all mean-girled Ashley made me so angry. So I'm glad Ashley was back near the top of the pack this week.
I thought Swapnil's bra was way too busy. What women would wear that???

When Blake's model came jiggling down the runway in that "bra," I had an audible reaction. What an imbecile.
Thanks to HD, this week's runway show treated me to razor stubble and cleavage sweat. Yay?

Thanks to HD, this week's runway show treated me to razor stubble and cleavage sweat. Yay? The minute they announced a lingerie challenge, I was wondering how they could show the panties, knowing how skimpy and see-through they'd be. I can't believe Merline won. I looked at the website to see how the design had changed in order for it to be sold and now I'm wondering who could actually wear it. There is NO support. Even a training bra has more structure.

I really was surprised when Merline ended up in the top, much less winning. While the basic shape/design was interesting, the complete lack of support/structure in the cups made it look like it was riding up the model's chest and just looked awful and completely unsexy. Considering they eliminated Blake for much the same fault (and rightly so), it was weird they'd give the win to Merline. Ashley and Kelly (the one with the weird hair) had the strongest designs, I thought.
Not my favorite challenge, though. In fact, the design-something-for-Heidi's-latest-venture challenge always kind of annoys me.

I hope Ashley wins. I think so far she's shown the most skill and eye for detail. Swapnil will probably be in the top, only because he's So Pretty. Those eyes!

Ashley is my favorite so far and I find Merline annoying. As I was watching, I said to my husband "Be sure to tip your waxer." It seems to me that being a lingerie designer is a very specific talent as opposed to designing for women in general. I didn't like most of them.
I was disappointed that this past week was another unconventional challenge. I would actually like them to revisit a challenge or two from past seasons.
