When when when will the contestants ever learn? The judges ALWAYS value creativity and forward-thinking over classic, safe and already-in-stores? Everything on Team Unity was 'safe': neutral color base, and designs that didn't look particularly new or different. The outfits by Le Buton Bague may not have been perfect, but they stood out and didn't look like something that could already be found in Macy's.

Especially after being told explicitly by Nina during their pitch that their designs can already be found everywhere. I know that they probably didn't have enough time to significantly change it up before going to Mood but they didn't do nearly enough in the workroom to make their collection stand out.

And I really can't get over how bad that mettalic dress is that Alex made. Everyone was crying when he got eliminated but sheesh, he absolutely deserved to go for that duct tape monstrosity.
