August 11, 2006
Lighting candles and chanting must have worked, because this week we get us some Michael squared! We get Michael at work, Michael at play, and Michael on the phone with his mother. Then, come judging time: “Hello Michael. Well, hello. Michael. It’s so nice to have you back where you belong.”
We finally get to meet a few models. The shake-up is that the models choose the designer they want to work with. Unfortunately, two models are auf’d -- but to quote Tim, “Somebody had to go.”
The Challenge: Modernize the look of a fashion icon. In the workroom there are ten photos of icons and the models, like they’re running for the last diuretic, destroy the display choosing the right icon for themselves and their designer. I’m almost Strong Enough to deal with Cher being chosen last!
Jeffrey, Alison, and Bradley gang up on Angela. I’m ashamed to admit that my qualifications for this next statement are pretty much that of Dolly Parton’s, “Dr. Shirley” in Straight Talk. But, could the fight Jeffrey picks with Angela have anything to do with his bitterness from losing to her last week? According to everyone who text messaged in during the show, Jeffrey was right about the fight -- and who am I to disagree with the same people who clicked to give me this blog? Jeffrey does quack his way into my quote of the week with this classic, “I got one word for Bradley’s top -- SupercalifragilisticexpialiCRAZY!”
Day two. Tim and Top Tresemme designer Nathaniel announce that the winner of the challenge will have their model and their look featured in an Elle magazine Tresemme ad. Designers are moving fast and furious (some of their icons would be furious with what they’re doing). Michael changes his mini dress to hot pants, Kayne sells Tim on an added ruffle for his Marilyn creation and Robert steals the words from Tim’s mind by saying about his Jackie Oh No! creation, “incredibly plain.”
The judges are Michael Kors, Nina Garcia and Diane Von Furstenberg. It’s getting easy to see the designers that are good enough to continue on, the ones who do fabulous work, and the ones who need to go. The Fashion Leaders – Angela’s Hepburnesque rosette fantasy, Michael’s Pam Grier-inspired hot pink hot pants ensemble and Kayne’s leather gown of sheer elegance for an updated Marilyn look.
The Winner: Michael. About which you know I’m delighted, but also a bit surprised, as Kayne’s would do Travilla proud. The auf’d one is Bradley for his, as Heidi put it, “old Halloween costume from the mall” for Cher. Because although Bradley’s outfit looked as though it could Turn Back Time, it was not something that said, Take Me Home!

Scott,
I just read all of your blogs for the past five episodes. Loved them. You are SO funny. I didn't vote for an Ultimate Fan because I didn't finish reading all the sample entries but am so glad that you won. I look forward to reading your blogs after each episode for the rest of the season. Good stuff!

I was so happy to see Micheal win this challenge. He is obviously a great designer and was a little surprised his talents were not displayed in other eposides like they should have been. After viewing his work on the wed I have become a huge fan. He truly reminds me of the hip hop world from the ATL. Everytime I see his work I am more and more impressed. I could not be more proud of this kid even if he was my own son. Way to go Michael!

I don't think Jeffrey was right. I think Jeffrey was angry not only about Angela winning the challange, but his guy pal being kicked out for cheating.
I think he does have an attitude problem, and had no business acting like a little whiney brat.
He was wrong, Angela was wrong.. Laura was RIGHT.

It is easy to see who has the talent to be the final four or so designers. The crop this year is great. Michael's outfit was right on. I figured him for a sleeper ever since the first coffee filter dress. Can't wait to see what comes next.

Scott I am so glad that you won, do not know any who is better for blog master for the best show about fashion...I sware this show makes me want to take up a pair of scissor and cut my way to fame. The only problem is i can't draw, sew or design to save my life. Oh well i can watch others chase their dreams. I must say I was waiting for Micheal to shine I hated to see him just pass throught and the truth be told hippy/slutty stylings of Miss Angela would not have put on the type of class to win a compation if it was not for Laura and Micheal steering her in the right direction. Damn those little rose or what she calls Flore de whatever made the dress that was georgous in it own right look cheap...But I do like a comback kid and that she is.But I really love Micheal and Kayne ( being the old southern pageant girl that I am. Looking forward to reading more of you blogs. Dorian (gameworks miami)ps.. I will be in vegas 5-8 of sept. hope to see ya

Why Allison? She was one of my favorites. Vincent should of been kicked off. Atleast Micheal won though. I hope to see Allison come back as a guest to help out she is just way too fabulous to not be seen again.

I'm so disappointed with this episode. Vincent shouldn't be there and Alison deserved a 2nd chance, like Kane had. This show is not going for the best designer but for the contests that bring drama and entertainment. I feel betrayed with Alison’s elimination.
Alison, if you ever see my notes, I just want to tell you that your creations, ever single one, were genuine and reflect a very modern design. Your elimination was unfair and my boyfriend and I wish you all the success. I'm sure we will hear about you in the midia.

i am so pissed that allison was voted off...this has been my favorite show for the past couple of seasons and now it just seems like all they are looking for is ratings. she was by far the best person they had on there. i will not watch this show again b/c i know that this show is just playing another game. i thought bravo was beyond this, i guess i was the one that was naive.

Michael, Kane, Laura, Uli--you guys are INCREDIBLE! I love your passion, vision and creations! I predict you to go to the FINAL 4! And my GAWD what in the h___ is wrong with the JUDGES for keeping Vincent! He's a paper-doll makin, cut & paste, summer camp craft class, LUNATIC! He's gotta GO! A monkey has more creativity & EXECUTION in his baby toe nail than that Fruitcake will EVER have! What a sad waste of a 401K! It's just so weird that a person can't see in themselves whether he's "got it" or he DOESN'T! Vincent is definately a BLIND Buffoon!

I think the show is one of the best reality shows today.(and I watch alot of them sad to say). But last night I was shocked that Allison went home. She had good designs. Everyone deserves another chance. Vincent is on the verge of becoming another Santino.....
Go Michael Go....you are the BOMB

Vincent what is up with you being "turn on" by paper? Should have kept both your day job and 401k. Michael you do the 'hood' proud, continue the good work. Oh my god, did anyone else see that Laura's boob was falling out of her dress?????

Michael, I love everthing that you do. So good to have someone from Atlanta make it onto the show. The coffee filter dress, I would wear that right now with some Jimmy Choos. I am rooting for you all the way. Good Luck. Toya, Parsons Grad.

Are you the Scott Rozenzweig who was a Cherub in 1982? If you are, I am soooooo happy. If you are saying "What's a Cherub?" you are not the right Scott.
Big hugs,
