project runway recap: there is an "i" in team

team luxe: andy south (top/skirt) * ivy higa (vest/top/shorts)

with the exception of my mister, does anyone else return from a trip home to the islands completely and utterly exhausted? my jet lag continues to linger on, but i finally had a chance to watch last week's project runway (despite one of the local news broadcasts spoiling the results as i walked past the family television - curses!).

two words: team challenge. i will simply say that, as expected, drama abounds and tim gunn's last minute observation is spot on. our hawaii designers, andy south and ivy higa, ended up together on team luxe which chose to parcel out garments so more than one set of hands touched each look before it walked down the runway.

did you agree with the judges' decision last week? what's your take on team luxe's self-appointed leader?

Yea that episode was DRAMA! So entertaining though;) I agree with Tim, they should have each kept their own personalities like the other team and not have let Gretchen dominate. It was hard to see her stay on, but she is much better at sewing than the guy who left and she does have better taste too, so I hope she amazes us next week;) Go Andy! Go Ivy!!

aloha sonya! while i am cheering for andy & ivy, it was nice to see the underdogs walk off the runway with a win. now that the self-appointed queen bee received a public lashing, we'll see if tim's scolding changes gretchen's behavior in the workroom and her relationship with the other designers.
