The boring one with the sports guy....

So, this week the designers had to make an outfit for sports "great" Tiki Barber.

Who was formerly a running back for the New York Giants (they repeated it enough times that it stuck). I hate football. Ahem, and he is now a correspondent for the Today show *yawn*. I hate morning television and news shows (except for you John Stewart). Anyways, the designers (many of whom had never made menswear before) were quite flummoxed with this challenge. There was, to quote Christian, a lot of hand-sewn crap up in there. On the upside, there were lots of attractive male models in their skivvies, and Tiki Barber ain't half bad himself. Witness the horror...

All I can say is roughly hewn, 70s-tastic monstrosity.

The original design was a dated mess. The finished product was just a mess. She should've bought shirt in a can...

I liked the shirt. The jacket's contrast detail repelled me. Stop it with the jackets already, okay doll?

Boring but Polished. So many of the outfits looked sloppy, and yours looked so neat. Since Tiki appears to dress so conservatively, I think you hit the right note. I liked the fleece jacket. Creativity points *snaps*.

I liked it, but it was much too "LA hipster" for your client.

You gotta give the girl points for making the most memorable shirt in history...and for not bullshitting us. She rightly pointed out that it looked like it was made by a kindergartener. The pants saved you woman.

You were so cute gushing over the male models. The contrast collar on your sweater and the long-crotched pants repelled me. Obviously your conservative (geriatric Republican retiree living in Florida) is much more conservative than Tiki's conservative.

It looked polished, but also too forward for a Tiki.

Want to smack your face SO HARD! You are such an annoying New Jersey man-scaped metrosexual homophobe! Please stop telling us you're straight. Please. Actions speak louder than words. How about next week you can go by yourself to a strip club and smack a dancer's ass? That'll really put your STUPID point across. I can't even talk about your outfit because I hate you so much. Except to say it wasn't very straight, unlike you, apparently!

I still love you, but your outfit looked like a hitman or someone from the Adams Family. Lighten up.

I don't think you should've won. You are starting to grow on me. You seem sweet, but still a little too Captain Awesome for my tastes. Your pants and shirt were very well made and did, as you claimed, look store bought. But though that puts you a step above sloppy and ugly, I'm not sure looking store bought is what the show is going for...Kit was robbed.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Tim. Ricky. I hate your hats and I told you if you started weeping again it would be the last time. That jacket was SO ill fitting. You're lucky you got out alive. Your days are numbered.

Where were your crazy antics this week? Other than "My boyfriend is the only male I choose to touch" (I pity any sons you may shoot out in the future) you didn't divert me at all. Okay, I lied. Your futuristic commune uniform was pretty funny.
In a future with no buttons, zippers, or details of any kind...when mankind is forced to weave all his own cloth and make simple garments by hand...There was Mr. Super Organic Hippie Man!

I actually DID like Jack's the best, but overall that was the sloppiest bunch I've EVER seen on the show, even including the first season! Wow. I liked the idea of a menswear challenge, though. They should do one where they make outfits for Fashion Icon Tim Gunn!

Unlike you, I kind of hate Kit. Though her outfit was pretty good. I hate Rickey and his stupid hats the most though, and wish he'd lost. I think a crappy shirt is worse than no shirt.
