Episode 3 ended with Ivy fainting, but don’t fret! We find out in the beginning of episode 4 that she just plain forgot to eat. Ivy was nourished back to health and ready to sew in no time.
In this episode, the contestants made designs that coordinated with a Philip Treacy hat. As a twist, the designers picked the model who sported their favorite hat, allowing the opportunity to work with another designer’s model. Low and behold everyone picked the model they have worked with since the beginning, making it a pretty humdrum twist this episode.
This week the judges and designers disagreed on who they thought had the best and worst designs. The judges and designers did mostly agree that April’s diaper mess and Kristin’s satin dress were the worst designs. However, the designers thought that Michael C. also had one of the worst designs, but the judges picked him as the winner. The designers also thought that Christopher had the best design this week, but the judges put him in the bottom three. My question is, how did Casanova’s black ensemble that Tim deemed “Donna Karan 1988″ slide through unscathed? But for the first time Gretchen wasn’t in the top three–I couldn’t believe it! Ultimately, Kristin went home for her ill fitting satin dress. I definitely thought April was going home for her diaper monstrosity, but I guess you never know what the judges are going to do.
