I liked Christopher's Rockette outfit the best so I thought he was deserving of the win. While Ven's was boring, I really thought Elena's was a hot mess. It really did look like a marching band uniform or something, not an outfit for a dancer.
Dmitry's was nice too, I just felt it was more like a figure skater outfit.
P.S. I always wanted to be a Rockette when I was little. That never happened. I think I'm too short to even qualify. Sadness.
I loved Christopher's outfit...it was stunning. I am hoping he wins the whole thing. He has great enthusiasm and a kind spirit. When he gave some of his money at Mood to one of the designers, I was totally won over. He is so young and fresh; good for him.
I cried when Ven left, only because Elana was crying so hard! I know it's hard to see designers leave now. The group is small and tight. There doesn't seem to be any conflict between designers. For that I am thankful.

Yeah, I kinda loving the lack of tension/drama between the designers. Elana's costume was hideous and probably deserved to go home but Venn's was a snoozefest plus he was in the bottom last week. I just hated Heidi's excuse that at least Elana tried to do something different... um, that's what Venn did too, just say you liked his the least and leave it at that. I really really liked Dimitry's design but knew right away that Christopher was going to win, he totally deserved it.
I am so glad to see Ven gone! Elana's dress was definitely a hot mess (hello sparkly color guard uniform!) but they were right in saying that Ven's dress was boring.
I really liked Christopher's outfit, but I'm sure it will get heavily redesigned for the mass production. It's really awesome up close, but you can't really see how cool it is from far away. I imagine them chaning the colors around to make the skyline pop more, and changing the skirt to make it move better.

I would have been happy to see Ven or Elena leave, so it was a happy ended for me.
While Christopher had a great idea, and it was beautiful up close, it shouldn't have won. You can't see it from 10 ft away, and you can't dance in it, so it entirely missed the point of the challenge.
And wtf was debra messing doing being a judge? Shouldn't they have had someone who actually has the ability to asses whether a costume will work on stage? Being in a show about the stage isn't quite the same thing.

I thought this too. I LOVED Dmitry's and thought his fit the challenge 100%. The Rockettes could wear that immediately and it would look great. Christopher's is going to need some work.
But.... I'm not upset he won. The idea of his dress is a great idea.
Ven vs. Elaina ... Ven is an IDIOT. I thought Tim's advice about Ven's dress was so good, and what did Ven do? Ignore it. The fit was horrid, and there was so much wrong - but I really think if he had followed Tims advice, he might have still been in the bottom, but it might have saved him.
He has his head so far up his ass and thinks he can do no wrong... he deserves to go.
Elaina's outfit was HORRID. But at least she's recognizing her faults and she's TRYING to branch out. I do give her some credit for that.

I thought for sure Elena was going to go home for that cheerleader outfit. It was horrible.
I loved Christopher's and was really glad he won. Though I also really loved Dimitri's.
Though I was also surprised they had no one from the Rockettes to judge on the costume? How about their actual costume designer? Wouldn't it make more sense than some actor who plays a dancer?

I agree with you, Ven was so annoying when describing his work. He can't do anything wrong and he can't make mistakes 8-D

I finally had a chance to watch this yesterday. I loved Christopher's outfit. If he hadn't won, I would have been very dissapointed. I hated Elena's and thought she should have gone home instead of Ven.
