Forced Drama

Thank you!!! Erin and Dexter are both talented and have said many nice things even in confessional. It makes me so sad that the producers try so hard to cast them both in the "villain" role. The skirt that Erin designed was better than what Cornelius had first done with the head to toe plaid box suit, but either way Cornelius still designed the weakest look.

Cornelius has brought negativity to the work room since the beginning. He seems jealous of Dexter and Erin IMHO. He acted like such a martyr the whole episode but his three pieces were much simpler and had less design than Erin or Dextex's clothes. And Cornelius has made some of the most poorly constructed garments this season. That heinous patchwork denim jumper with the ill fitting yellow tank top should have sent him home.

Just a complete waste of a save, I like all of the other designers work so much more and really would have been happy seeing the save go to anybody but him.

the direct to camera interviews should not be considered a be all end all summation of their personalities. cornelius isn't a trash talker, he is answering questions in those clips.

erin and dexter's friendship is obnoxious. they have talked each other up in every episode and clearly erin's overconfidence is hindering her performance.

cornelius had less time because he gave her half of his look. he voiced his doubts the whole time which matched what the judges said.

he shouldn't have been eliminated regardless of your perception of his personality based on his direct to camera interviews.

There was definitely no mean girl anything going on. When a designer is asked to send someone home, usually s/he will pick someone who isn't their friend and most people won't choose themselves.

The b***hiest 2 are Cornelius and his pal the pink haired two. Those 2 talk the most s**t. the pink haired one seems especially jealous of Erin for some reason.

Cornelius has been nothing but mean-spirited and negative—especially behind their backs during the interviews that they can’t see.

He said not one positive thing this episode. I can’t recall anytime he was ever complimentary toward other designers.

I can't stand him. He's a mean girl. I can't stand Natalia either. Wait until the reunion when the other designers see Cornelius' comments.

We can only comment based on the edit and from what I've seen I will say that I am not a fan of Cornelius neither as a designer or as a personality. Although I will say that I have seen some growth from him personality wise. This competition has clearly humbled him as he has seemed a lot less bitchy in confessionals. As for Erin and Dexter, I would never label either as mean girls. I'm sorry but I don't see how anyone who has watched season 8 can compare those two to the monsters of that season.

The problem with Erin and Dexter during this challenge was hubris and a lack of respect for Cornelius' opinion. I don't think they were being intentional in that but they are so far up their own butts that his opinion didn't carry much weight because he is the weakest designer left in the competition. Had they listened to him I think they could have had a stronger collection and he really did pick up a lot of slack for that team. Erin should have made the skirt to go with his outfit.

I am glad the Tim Gunn saved was used not because I like Cornelius but because I hate the save and I am glad now it's gone. I believe once you're out, you're out.
