Heidi gives the teams still standing the old in/out speech. Each team has to explain their intentions. Jerell and Stella are up first. Brooke says she likes the outfit but is concerned about the belt. It makes it look as if “there is a lot going on”. The belt in question is a thin, zebra striped belt over a gold colored very wide (corset size, sneakily enough on Stella’s part) belt. Heidi says she loves it just as it is. Michael Kors uses the words “flirty, feminine, sexy” and says the garment is well made. Kelli and Daniel’s bustier dress is up now and Brooke uses words like “unfortunate” and “cheap." Kors asks to see under the model’s jacket and this is when he lets loose his “slutty, slutty, slutty!” the preview clip ‘teased’ us with after last week’s show.
I don’t know that this, a strapless dress with a skirt to the knee is exactly “slutty” (has he ever been outside a showroom?) but it doesn’t scream “top executive” either. Maybe Kelli should have listened to Daniel a bit more and toned down her aesthetic. Nina looks right at Kelli and says, “You can’t get taste if you don’t have it.” And yet, Kors blames Daniel for this refugee from 1982 MTV. Daniel says nothing but looks glum. Gotta be a bit of a scrapper, Daniel, Kelli has no problem letting you take the blame. When asked, Kelli points out she has never been “in the bottom” and so Daniel should go home. Daniel pipes up finally and says he has impeccable taste. The editors show us Kenley, who is roaring with laughter. What is her problem? Why does this concern her? She isn’t even on Daniel’s team. Oh, and remember her “don’t add a bolero that’s too much like Wonder Woman” advice that helped land Daniel in the bottom two last time? I’m beginning to think Kenley has lil’ horns hidden beneath those big bangs of hers.
Heidi asks Kenley why she “thinks it’s so funny." Kenley, far from being abashed, laughs louder. And doesn’t answer. Okay, so Daniel was a bit skeevy with ‘fitting you’ for the garment last week, Kenley Collins. But to try to push him out of the contest for no other reason than you can? To try and undermine his position in front of the judges? In such a passive aggressive way that you can’t be called on it and he can’t fight back? That’s kinda sucky and evil. Anyway, Devil Woman’s dress is up next. Seeing it closer on camera it’s less impressive. The scallops look uneven. The color of the skirt is strange. There isn’t enough blouse to set it off well (although their model is extraordinarily high waisted so that doesn’t help). The leather belt doesn’t seem to go with the rest. Brooke says she can see her character wearing it and that it looks expensive. Nina wants to see the back of the ensemble. The blouse has a butterfly shape to the sleeves. Michael and Heidi praise this outfit to the skies. Kenley looks content with this; a quick shot of Daniel shows him blinking a lot with red eyes.
