Despite the barrage of Kenley trashing that went down on the runway last week (we admit that we totally contributed to it off the runway, but she's annoying, no?), it was a quieter, less abrasive Kenley that returned to Parsons after the eight weeks away. Although, there is still that voice...
As usual, the home visits are basically just Tim Gunn being lovely. Things we learned on the home visits:
- Just when we thought Korto couldn't get more badass, it turns out she's a drummer
- Tim can ride a tandem bike
- Tim and Jerell make quite a striking couple -- sort of a May/December thing.
- Kenley's couch is kind of awesome
The designers return to the runway with their collections in tow. Each designer has to send a wedding dress down the runway that will represent the spirit of their Bryant Park collections. It has to be said, we sort of feel bad for Kenley and the school yard cold shoulder that the other designers are giving her. Kenley breaks the tension by apologizing up front and we feel proud of her.
Sidenote: That ridiculous tie hanging on a string around Jerell's neck is making us nuts. We just want to rip it off him.
Predictably, Tim springs one final challenge on the designers -- they have to create a bridesmaid dress to complement their wedding dress. We can't really understand why the designers express so much frustration. Have they not seen the other seasons?
On to the runway -- it almost pains us to say it -- but Kenley is our favorite. We know. Strange, but true. Seriously though, look at this dress:
We LOVE it. and her bridesmaid dress was pretty great too:
And thank God, because nothing short of amazing would have convinced us that she belonged in the final three. Sadly, much as we love Jerell, his wedding dress was too much for the judges and he was sent packing. We'll say this though, while we hated his wedding dress, we're totally feeling the flowered hair thing:
We'll miss you, Jerell. Go ahead girls, see you in the finale!
