The Biggest Losers

So this week's challenge was to create an outfit for a woman who recently dropped a ton of weight, the twist being it had to be from their old oversized favorite outfit (plus a little something extra from Mood)...

Farewell! What a sad and unattractive way to go, with a swollen face...Get well and come back puffy-free and fabulous, I'm sure no one would protest!
However, your passing from the competition signaled the return of the fabulous, and gone too soon, Chris

Meh.

Jillian
Meh.
Don't know what the judges saw in that. Your use of the favorite outfit was cheap.

Ricky
*sob* Makes me remember why I hate you...This looks like a Kmart outfit. Blech.

I love you. I was sad to see you leave over Ricky. We could totally do each other's hair and watch awesome 80's movies together...
Why did you have to go and do this? What a hot mess this poor woman is. Michael Kors called it 50's Parisian hooker, I call it ugly. Please don't make this second chance a trip through a revolving door!

So many great quotes from you today:
"How fierce is it?" -Tim Gunn (awwww)
"It's pretty fierce"
"I can't make you have an ass"
You should be on "Kids say the Darndest Things" before you grow up.
What could you have made? Was it...another jacket, perhaps?! Shocking. It may be the first outfit you've made that was appealing to me. Maybe going for commercial appeal, and perhaps a non-jacket? is the key to your success...

Yawn.

Who were the "ultimate judges" you are trying to satisfy? Are you talking about the voices in your head again, dear? It boggles my mind that they put you in the bottom two over Chris. Honestly. They just weren't prepared to kick him off again and so they put poor Steven against something that looked infinitely better. You were a ringer honey. Your outfit was funky and perhaps not fitting to the client's personality, or body (she looks like she's hiding a ghetto booty somewheres in there), but it wasn't hate inducing. Get down with your kooky self. I love that you're not a weeper, we got too many this season.

Kit
I liked this dress (at least the shape). The neon is garish, but it was nice and easy looking to throw on and be comfortable.

Once again I am shocked. I loved this. I LOVE button detailing though. That's what made me forgive your personality the last two rounds...keep on buttoning, okay?

Steven
Oh Steven. To coin your phrase "Sweet merciful crap." First of all, glue, really? You know you deserved it. Don't kid yourself. That dress looked like the dress Olive Oyl would wear to Popeye's funeral. It was like a Hollywood nun costume. Terrible. Ick. You should be ashamed that this woman brought in a wedding dress (albeit ugly, cheap, and tacky) and you were too snobbish to even think about using it for anything but an accent! Did it ever occur to you to dye it?

The top was cute. You love the drape-y, twisty jersey eh? The skirt kinda reminded me of Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas. Too many seams and buttons in a weird place (and I like buttons, too!) The color was icky. I have to assume that was made from her old clothes...so I guess you did the best you could.

That's so passe...

So, this week's challenge was to take a weak ass trend and make it fierce! Rrraaaoowww! This was an entertaining episode, and the first that produced garments that really moved me. Although the concept was mean, you can't argue with results...

Team Smug: Jillian, Rami, Kevin
Overalls-Poodle skirt-70s Flair
Jillian, you are an outdated and smug bitch, but I still liked your runway version of overalls. It looks more like a 70s jumpsuit, but it's an undeniably cute piece. Rami, your dress was acceptable and maybe even cute-ish, but I'm not sure putting tulle under a dress is a nod to poodle skirts...hmmm...Kevin, I liked your shorts a lot (they reminded me of a pair of Development shorts I wanted a few seasons ago with their cute button detailing) but that top was NASTY. I can't let this go unsaid...Kevin, you have told me twice (and very directly) that you are NOT GAY. You just completely negated your entire argument with that common turn of phrase "I've gotta pull a magic rabbit out of my ASS". Straight men don't keep rodents in their anal cavities! Straight men pull rabbits out of hats. No wait, that's magicians...hmmm....

Team Star! Kit, Jack, Christian
Fringe-Pleather-Zoot Suit
Kit, I loved the vest, but it's a nice piece on a bad/bland outfit. Jack, I actually really loved this dress. Trendy, pretty, I would belt this and wear tights. Christian, you're my favorite person on this show. You constantly crack me up. But I think I'm taking a seriously dislike to you as a designer. You've been one-note this whole competition, ugly jacket, ugly jacket, ugly jacket, ugly jacket...you made the most forgettable outfit this week. Tres bland.

Team Fabulous: Sweet P, Steven, Chris
Baggy Sweater-Dancewear-Shoulder Pads
Too bad your outfits aren't as fabulous as you are! Sweet P, I know that the judges liked your bland, unflattering, oddly layered bubble hem dress - but I didn't. Steven, I liked that top and would wear it with jeans, but it wasn't dancewear or cohesive to this ugly collection. Chris, your dress was passable, but the jacket was ugly Laura Ashley 80's thrift store tacky crap and ruined any hopes your sweet self had for survival. We'll miss you.

Team Bitchslap: Victorya, Elisa, Ricky
Neon-Underwear as Outerwear-Cut outs
So the ep starts out as, aw, Victorya gathered the freaks under her wing...but this eagle has talons! Victorya, your dress was the best quality of the 3, but you have the worst quality heart. I actually felt bad for Ricky, and I hate Ricky. They kept you in the bottom 3 to break your bitch spirit down. At least you know you're a "bossy cow". Oh, and if your logic told you neon, cut outs, and underwear as outwear goes together, you one tacky ass ho. Elisa, the alien, you were like the young child of two bickering parents who lived in the world of imagination to escape the harsh reality of your twisted home life, and you elected to vote yourself off. I love your free-spirited naiveté. I felt meh about your dress, because it was not remotely wearable, but it was very artistic. Ricky, the one time I would've given you a pass on crying! You were the puppet government of Queen Victorya's evil regime. Why did you ever volunteer to be leader? Your dress was the most heinous offender of the evening in my opinion. It's like an ugly Cirque du Soleil costume...but I guess you can't really call something like that dated (since no decade was stupid enough to make it)...Lucky you, a stay of execution.

In my fave 5 this week:
Jack
Jillian
Sweet P (for having a nervous breakdown when they asked you to vote someone off)
Steven
not Kevin
