I don’t really think this was all that bad, it was just a little expected and safe for me on all fronts. I felt like both your challenge and your runway were a little unmemorable -- when returning to the submissions to write I remembered the overall concept of your submission but no specific moments and nothing really got a reaction out of me, good or bad, which at this point in the competition you should be going big or going home (especially with a track record like yours!) Your runway, likewise, is serviceable and generally pretty but I think everything being black makes it a little pedestrian on a runway that should give you leeway to flirt with the gaudiest and tackiest colors and textures -- even just a little shine or sparkle to the black could have made this a little more interesting.

I was kinda Zzz during your audition. It didn’t feel like anything new or fresh or funny, which is a shame because you’re usually one of the most hilarious in the competition. This challenge almost calls for people to fall into a trope, so I wish you had thought of a more obscure, distinct character because it would’ve help set you apart. As for your runway, it’s reading more… The Craft goes to the races more than Dynasty. I would’ve liked to have seen this outfit in a bright jewel tone paired with some bright makeup – it feels a little bit reserved for such a garish theme.

I hate to say it but I didn’t love your challenge. First of all, your character definitely reads more as a single 20-something just trying to figure out
#life with nothing other than her parents’ trust funds, not a rich housewife IMO. The pyramid scheme jokes were kind of boring to me, and nothing else really was able to bring you back to life for me. Your runway is pretty. I guess my critique would be that it appears boring at face value. If I squint enough and look closely I see the detail on your dress, but it’s hard to make it out on the entirely black fabric.
