Actually, just last season Angela and Vincent got to come back for a challenge, with the potential to stay in and win the competition. And besides, the week Chris was eliminated, his outfit was hardly the very worst one there...he just happened to be the leader of his three-person team.
I think Chris has had three AMAZING weeks in a row, and has yet to be granted a win. The judges seem to be holding him to a little higher standard, maybe because he WAS eliminated once.

I'm hoping Chris is in the finale, his clothes are unique and even though it was a partner win (for episode 8) I saw a lot more Chris in that creation than Christian.

I agree with ollythedolly. The team win belonged more to Chris than Christian. Personally, I can't stand Christian-I wish they would give him a bottle and send him to bed, for good!

I was happy and I liked Chris's stuff.

i was glad he came back and he also learned to make things less costumey which is a HUGE improvement for him. his designs are great and I'm sure he'll go pretty far in this competition. I've got my fingers crossed for a win for him!!! :) And yes, he totally deserved the avant-garde win!

yeah it's fair just like models one fails to do the job then they get the one that was eliminated, but yeah he DID get lucky
