Thank God. Bye, Tessa!

I agree with pretty much everything: Christian is an A+ mentor. I especially loved him this week; he's been pretty vocal about the lack of inclusiveness in the fashion industry, so his high standards for the designers and the dream dresses felt very genuine.

Tessa is a crap person, and her attitude is unraveling faster than her unfinished hems. Nina and Brandon were throwing major shade on Twitter on Thursday.

I love Bishme, Hester, Garo, and Sebastian. I love Jamall's attitude. He knows he has a lot to learn.

I agree. She seems genuine and doesn't talk smack about others in a mean way. But I'm picking Bishme for the win.

Hester’s designs are definitely not my taste, but she’s a nice person and interesting to watch.

+1 Tessa has some very real "mean girl" attributes.

I agree with another poster that Hester is very nice. To me she is a nurturer and a little Mother Hen-ish. She has lost her way though in her designs and really seems to be in this groove of being so out-there that she's lost her sense of taste. Her work in the beginning was outstanding. Now she seems to be trying to one-up herself in outlandishness and she will turn out to be her own worst enemy if she doesn't settle down.

I agree with your assessment of both Tessa and Hester.

If Hester can get herself back into the game mentally, she stands a shot at winning. But she is really walking a fine line between creative genius and poor taste. It seems like she lost some confidence after that stupid pastie outfit that she made when she had immunity.

^agree that the flour mill outfit was really good

She is so busy trying to figure out what the judges "want to see" that she is losing her creativity in the process. She is mentally doing herself in.

I don’t know - it’s hard to hate Hester. She is who she is.

I hate Tessa.

I like Hester. She has been supportive of her fellow contestants (including Tessa) and she puts a lot of detail into her work.

She's quirky but she seems to be a nice person. Tessa was cute up until the competition heated up and, wow, did the biotchy side ever come out in her.

It was sad to watch the joy wash away from her clients face after she said pink was her favorite color. Tess is just rude, disrespectful with questionable talent.

Oh, wow, I had forgotten about that. The paramedic was so happy and excited up until that point, and then you could tell she felt very negatively judged and invalidated by Tessa's response. As one of my kids would say, awkward. Poor lady!

I loved the way Bishme worked with his teacher so well - listened to her. I loved his dress.

Tessa's treatment of her client was such a sharp (and negative) contrast. Her client wanted a feminine, short pink dress and Tessa was getting ready to put her in black pants. Total opposite of what her client actually wanted.

I totally agree with you and the other PP. Christian is doing a GREAT job as mentor. I really like it when he is on camera and giving his critiques. I love Tim (!) but Christian is doing a great job shaping the mentor role into something that is truly his own.

This season is turning out to be much better than it started. I hope they don't bring back that weird publicist person who looks like she escaped from an institution. She is a hot mess. Her message may be on point but her "look" is so distracting that it is really hard to take her seriously.
