Heidi's quote wasn't terrible. I think she meant that the "design" was workable if the materials and execution had been of a higher caliber. That was in direct conflict with Rami's dress. Of course his execution and materials were wonderful, but the design was not "Avant-Garde."

I understood that the judges liked Victorya and Jillian's ready-wear dress. Michael said something like "It's cute. Any woman would love to wear it." In contrast, he said that Chris and Christian's ready-wear top was lovely, but the skirt was a "throw away." I think the design element on the butt really helped the ladies' ready-wear dress have an "edge." I liked it.

I was totally torn between the top two Avant Garde pieces. I honestly couldn't decide between them. In a small way, I may have been rooting for Vic & Jill because they pulled it out. But that's not entirely fair.

I really don't understand the pose Christian made the model use. He said that was supposed to be "the thing" for this style. I thought it made the thing sitting on her shoulder look too heavy, like that was causing her to slump under the weight. And if you look at the pose the other model is using, you can see that it was chosen for a specific reason. Those darts did not work. She is standing so that you can't tell they look funny.

Good episode. I'll miss Kit, but I wasn't too attached to her. I like Jillian, Rami and Christian as designers. I like Chris' personality. I'm over Sweet P, she's out of her league. I like neither Victorya's designs nor her personality. And Ricky is just a complete non-entity in my mind. I guess I would like to see Chris in the fourth spot in the finals, but I don't think he has a chance of beating the other three I mentioned.

Victorya and Jillian were robbed. That coat is the only thing that looks remotely Avant Garde to me. That thing Christian and Chris made looks like someone rolled the model in 10 bolts of muslin.

Kit and Ricky - what where you smokin'? That dress looks like a homemade prom dress that granny made out of her old sheets. Gawd awful.

I totally agree with rick c - this challenge was designed specifically for Christian and Chris. They were meant to win this one. Though I wish the win/immunity could have been shared by both team embers. They put together a very cool dress. I loved it, though the couture pose was weird because of design of the dress. The whole hunched over pose can be alluring and fierce, but it didn't work here - for me anyway.

Rami was my favorite - but he has become a one design wonder. OK, your a draper - let's see something new!! I felt bad for Sweet P even though she annoys me with her innocent, don't want to hurt people's feelings attitude. She'd never make it in fashion. People are just too mean. You can't tell me Tyra is as sweet as she appears on ANTM all the time. Even Heidi gets uppity on PR.

I think if Kit and Ricky had used like jewel tones for their dress, it would have gone more avant-garde. The fabrics they picked out reminded me of Pottery Barn sheets.

I did totally love the trench coat done by Victorya and Jillian. Loved it!!

This challenge was the best one so far. I love it when they can go nuts!!

LOVED the coat from Vic and Jillian. The ready to wear was crap. This challenge was made for Chris and Christian, so it was not a shock they won.

I don't watch the show, and it's a really minor quibble, but shouldn't the title be "En Garde!" with an e?
