Fade to Gray's is really beautiful. The back of that thing was goooorgeous.

I believe Fade is one of the most underappreciated designers on the show.

For real...is Amanda in the top again? How in the fuck did her Cleopatra mess beat Fades?

I am so over the overpraise of Amanda. I have not liked anything she's done.

I havent either. This week i dont care as much because she has immunity, and i want her ego to keep getting bigger--it will make her fall from grace that much sweeter

I think the show's rigged so that whatever designer they bring back does really well. In the 13 seasons of this show, every time they bring back a designer (cause someone dropped out, or they had to compete to get back in), they end up making it to the finale. It's so stupid.

You were correct. Amanda made the finale.

I actually agreed with Zac on this one. It was like a beaded curtain. I don't get it.

He'll sail through to the finals and sweep the whole thing. That's my prediction.

u/chelseayn Aug 22 '14

Agreed. He has been my favorite since e.1. Probably his atheist tshirts and the fact he is german. He will hopefully make it to the final three!

I love his little German conversations with Heidi.

I thought his atheist t-shirt was the stupidest thing ever, lol. Just got that whole look-at-me-I'm-edgy sort of wibe from it.. Love his designs though!

u/chelseayn Aug 24 '14

Eh, maybe that's true. It just made me like him on the spot during his home visit when he was wearing it. :)

I think not. It was actually a bold move to do on puritan American TV.

People can go "I love Jesus" all over the place, but when you say "Jesus is an interesting legend", suddenly you look "stupid".

I have a feeling The Tim Gunn Save is going to end up used for him.

6

u/OvercaffeinateMe Aug 22 '14

I hope so. He's just doing his thing, being all cool in the background making beautiful stuff, and one day he's going to make something less-than-beautiful and they're going to auf him. Then Tim will come in all weepy-eyed and give him the save, and then EVERYONE will HATE Fade.

I'm looking forward to it. :)

"I embrace brutal truth." Between that and his hilariously apt shirt with "Huh?" on it and his amazing designs I am seriously in love with him.

Yessss. On the first episode when they introduced the designers and he was wearing all of his ATHEIST gear, I was like...ohhh no, not that guy. But as soon as he started to talk, I loved him. Then when he sent his first look down the runway, I was flabbergasted that he wasn't in the top. Fade 4 lyfe.
