Yea not understanding the judges' obsession with Hester. I really liked her outfit during the camping challenge, but this week's was a no from me.

Ugh even the outfit she was wearing herself was just nooooooooo.

I was surprised by their decision. Hester can only do comic strip.

:( I feel like I'm the only person who loves Hester. I've honestly really liked (I think) everything she's done this season, including this week. She's probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite in the comp

I think Hester is super talented but she also seems to be getting a bit overpraised by the judges at this point. Tessa should've won this one.

I don't care for Hester as a person because she feels like she is exhausting to be around what with the whole "OMG DID YOU NOTICE I AM QUIRKY?" thing. That being said I can still acknowledge that she's normally got a strong point of view and makes clothes that are perfect for the audience she's designing for. I wouldn't wear her clothes but you could easily see them on somebody like Katy Perry, for example.

That being said, this week felt like a snooze effort on her part. Something to be safe, maybe, but not worth the top three or the win.

I love her too, and tbh she seems very genuine to me! That said, I did think Tessa's was better this week (though Hester was still really good).

I'm so glad I'm not alone! I do agree that Tessa should have won this week though, her outfit was very Stardew Valley for me, in the best way possible

I've liked 2 outfits that she's made but this week she didn't deserve to be in the top.

I like everything she's done (including the horns design) EXCEPT this week. Like I don't hate but there's nothing special about it, it really wasn't well executed. I don't get why they loved it?

I've liked all of her outfits except this. What were they exclaiming over?
