Where are all the 4s and 5s? This was a depressing episode as nothing rated better than 3/5. I hope next week is a return to form.

Did anybody else see the butterfly dress that (I think) is Irina's actual Macy's holiday dress? It was very cute.


Episode 7 Ratings:

1 - Irina & Gordana Look 1 - 3/5 - I have to say, I really do like the print and most things about the dress, but it didn't get a 4/5 because I think the bottom flows out too widely. Still the best of the bunch this week.

2 - Louise & Nicolas Look 1 - 3/5 - I can't believe the judges didn't like this dress. Sure their other dress sucked but I think this one is one of the best of the week. Great fit and the RUFFLES were interesting and eye-catching.

3 - Carol Hannah & Shirin Look 1 - 3/5 - The combination of the two blues almost doesn't work, but I like it. The fit is nice and I like the loose bow off her neck.

4 - Althea & Logan Look 1 - 3/5 - As noted, this is the third time in a row Althea's made a similar outfit, but I still like it well enough.

5 - Irina & Gordana Look 2 - 3/5 - Nice outfit but a little boring. I like Gordana but she does have to be careful about making boring outfits. The shirt is probably the best and most wearable of the bunch though.

6 - Carol Hannah & Shirin Look 2 - 3/5 - I suppose I could see someone like Lindsay Lohan wearing this leggings-heavy outfit but I didn't think it was all that great.

7 - Christopher & Epperson Look 1 - 3/5 - I don't think this was quite as bad as the judges made out. The ruffleneck thing doesn't work and I'm not a big fan of the color but I think the shape is interesting.

8 - Christopher & Epperson Look 2 - 2/5 - I'm not sure what Tim was thinking liking this. Who would wear this? The shiny fabric doesn't work - it looks like the kind of fabric a plastic tablecloth is made out of. And it looks all wrinkled.

9 - Althea & Logan Look 2 - 2/5 - The pants are fine but the shirt's frills just don't work.

10 - Louise & Nicolas Look 2 - 1/5 - Hideous. How did they ever think this would work? It IS a prom dress from hell.


Total Team Scores:

Irina & Gordana - 3/5
Carol Hannah & Shirin - 3/5
Althea & Logan - 2.5/5
Christopher & Epperson - 2.5/5
Louise & Nicolas - 2/5

So basically, I have to say I agreed with the judges almost completely as far as winners, losers and top/bottom groups (my only complaint is they should've acknowledged Louise's one good dress before eliminating her for the hideousness of the other).


Leaderboard Averages: (ties broken by most recent ratings)

1 - Irina - 3.6
2 - Gordana - 3.4
3 - Althea - 3.4

4 - Christopher - 3.4
5 - Shirin - 3.1
6 - Logan - 3.1
7 - Nicolas - 3.1
8 - Carol Hannah - 2.7
9 - Epperson - 2.6

Irina has moved into a slightly larger lead. Gordana has moved back up, and Shirin has moved up too. Nicolas has dropped after working with Louise and letting her sabotage herself (and his ranking in the process).

I just looked to compare thinking I might've correctly predicted some boots, and I'm surprised that if you take Epperson off my Leaderboard Averages (I guess he's like the mascot of the season since the judges have kept him when they should've gotten rid of him many times in the beginning), then every single week my bottom ranked contestant is the one who went the next week. I gave Malvin a 1/5 for week 1 then he went week 2. Mitchell was the lowest-ranked besides Epperson after week 2 and he went week 3. Qristyl was the lowest-ranked besides Epperson after week 3 and she went week 4. Johnny was THE lowest after week 4 (even lower than Epperson!) and he went week 5. Believe it or not, Ra'Mon ended up the lowest-ranked besides Epperson after week 5 and he went week 6. And Louise was the lowest after week 6 (even lower than Epperson) and she went week 7.

Could my Leaderboard averages yet again predict the boot minus Epperson (I'm sure Carol Hannah would hope not)? Or could Epperson finally go? I mean, he has to go eventually. Who knows - maybe the week I finally figure out my leaderboard is predicting the boots is the week it stops working :p
