My new mantra is that I can, I am, and I will do everything I can to achieve my goal. The competition is becoming harder and there is nothing but tension and fear between us.
Isaac still does not understand my accent but whether they believe it or not, I'm still here in the competition.
The Mini Challenge was a trivia about fashion history. I'm screwed because the little I do know about fashion history is what I've read in magazines. I answered the first few questions correct but in the end I lost. Because Anna won, she had the power to assign a designer to us for the elimination challenge. The challenge was to recreate an outfit inspired by the designer Anna gave us. Anna surprised me by giving me Madame Grès who I had not heard of before and I was worried.
In the end I made a marvelous dress that was very pretty and I was satisfied with. My outfit was safe and it was Haven that went home, it was just her time. Bye-bye, Barbie. Hasta la vista!

Merlin,
I wanted you to win. To me you are the most innovative and best. Your ideas are fresh and are young. I loved your last outfit. Unfortunately, the judges were afraid of your ideas and chose safe contestants like Danielle. Obviously, doing the same outfits over and over again is bankable.I am disappointed that this new century's fashion has been a rewind of the last. We need talent like yours to step-up and make a defining style for our progressive era. Please keep designing. I know you will make it and overshadow your ex-peers!

I have to tell you that I was so disappointed in this weeks episode, that I can tell you that I WON'T be watching again. When Merlin's outfit came out on the runway I immediately said wow. I loved the complete look and also the look without the jacket. It had elements that made it sporty and fresh to me. And the judge who said it looked like it was made for a junior, o well.(was there a rule I missed that said it was only for a missy?) I have NEVER posted a coment before. NEVER..But I was so disappointed, I had to.The dress next to it should have gone home it was a mess. Merlin IN, other guy OUT!!!

Merlin, merlin, merlin... sorry that ur talent has been cut off short, i would have love to see what u would have done til the very end.
DO YOU HAVE AN INVESTOR YET?
Yes, it's time to steer the ship to another direction. Fashion is = politics, u know that, and it's why i understand ur feelings. Don't worry the puppets will move according to their master's pleasings.

Merlin,
You Rock! The best and wish you the very best. The show will definitely loose viewers without your creative style. The judges are paving the way for Reco. Good luck!

Merlin:
You were just voted off which I'm very sorry about, I looked at your collections online. The red collection was especially awesome. You are very talented and you are a bit sharp, but I'll bet you've had to be to get where you are. Go for it! You don't need The Fashion Show any longer, you've shown your talent before, on the show and in your own designs!

So Sad you got voted out Merlin. I loved your outfit. I a 29 year old Stay at home mom Would be flattered to wear the clothing that got you voted out. I LOVED the pants. What Izaac doesn't realize is that because the bottoms are cuffed you could pull them a little higher to tailor them to your personal length. I also love love love the but area the way the green ribbing sits in just the right spot on your butt. And I also love the yellow belt. Most clothing made out of the material you selected is to plain And I loved that you paid more attention to detail in the pants. I also would wear the inner jacket and coat. I love love love your attention to detail. Yes sometimes less is more but that outfit was perfect to a T
If you ever make it again let me know where I can buy it....

I like your attitude and the way you design. Who cares about your nasty little comments? I am a woman and it doesn't offend me. You keep doing what you are doing! The designs you create are always amazing!

YAY Merlin! Your dress was fabulous! And coming from someone who wasn't familiar with Madame Gres you pulled it off perfectly.

I think you behave like a pompous little jerk who is intimidated by assertive women. You have no problem putting yourself out in front with your flamboyant outfits and arrogance, but when you face a real challenge, you insult and demean. Clearly you have talent, but you have no class. Talent will get you only so far. See: Wendy Pepper.

Nice job on the Madame Gres outfit this week, and you sew extremely well, but really, "Those bitches this, those bitches that..." Your outrageous sexism is growing wearisome. As a designer, it will be a liability for you. You had better learn to love women if you're going to design for them. Peace.

I was JUST starting to like you, forgive your nasty/womanizing comments from the past, and try to judge you on your talent, as, you had finally calmed down and stopped trying to get attention by your mouth and crazy "looks" for the camera. After your "Barbie" comments? You are back on the "This guy hates women and thinks he is better than everyone"... or uses his MOUTH as a defense mechanism to make HIMSELF fell better about his fears/lack of talent. How would YOU like it if the women loudly talked about gays/queens on thei blogs and on TV? What makes YOU/gays exempt from criticism, yet, you can make fun of women? Can You say, "Politically Incorrect" in English?? What goes around, comes around....... Straight Women watch this show, too... not just, "gays". Bravo is going too far......

Merlin-The work you have done over the last few weeks has been amazing. The designs the colors WOW! But most of all I've enjoyed that you have quietly and with sophisacation become a force. You've realized that shrinking violets on this show (the women) can not handle people that have the confidence and flair(Recco-Merlin). The rest of the rainbow flag team should watch their backs as long as Anna and Danillea are there.
