Sierra

Enigma: First off, I want to say that a minstrel was a creative choice. It certainly makes for an interesting outfit, and it lets you pull off things that would otherwise earn you a bad score from me, like having a mismatched over-vibrant colour scheme. It actually works quite well, all things considered. 8.5/10

April: A minstrel is a great idea, and it’s definitely one of the more creative ideas of the bunch.  Every clothing item here is well thought out, and I can tell that you did your research. One thing that could be improved, however, is the color scheme. I'm not really feeling the red-green-blue combination, and the random gold on the ring and brown feather on the hat seem out of place. You get a 7/10.

Tanner: A minstrel is a creative way to interpret this challenge! I like how you put thought into every piece of clothing from this outfit; my personal favorites are the backpack for holding the instruments, and ring given to her by the royal family she works for. I think a different shirt could have been used however. It has a high collar like you said minstrels have, but I don’t think it matches the look you were going for. As for the color scheme… well, while I like that you acknowledged minstrel’s clothing to be colorful and random, I think you went about that idea in the wrong way here. Red, green, blue, purple, white, black, and brown are all seven completely different colors, and it’s not easy to combine them all together into one functional color scheme. My suggestion would be to use less of different colors, and more of different shades, such as light and dark blue for example. 6.5/10

Spencer: I really like the minstrel idea, but to be honest, it’s a bit of a mess when made into an outfit. I think there are two main issues here, the random looking outfit, and the color scheme. Now I know the outfit isn’t random, since you gave a bunch of explanation on every clothing item, but they just don’t look good together. The color scheme just clashes and doesn’t work. I’m sorry, 6/10

Spoiler:

Aaron

Enigma: Well, I certainly did not expect Link to show up in this challenge, but I have to say, I really like it! The colour scheme, the detail, the jacket, everything looks great! 9/10

April: Usually when you see those two bright blues, you see them in a Summer Luau outfit, so I'm glad that they're being used elsewhere. They go so well with the different shades of brown, which makes for an awesome color scheme. I also enjoyed how you took inspiration from Link, especially with the elf ears. Nice job, Aaron! You get a 9/10.

Tanner: How. Like. How even. I wasn’t expecting to see an elf for this challenge, but Aaron, you rocked this challenge! Everything looks just amazing here: the color scheme has great balance in it and it’s pleasing to the eye, and I really like how you went about choosing medieval-looking royal clothing like the BavariaFest shirt and the jacket. Every part of this outfit looks great on you, and I am super impressed with this one. Kudos to you, Aaron! You never cease to amaze me. 10/10

Spencer: I absolutely love this outfit. Also Synth, the fact that you called Link an elf, offends me. Anywayyy, I love how you were inspired by Link from BoTW, and I love how you made a Hylian Prince outfit! The color scheme is wonderful and I love the outfit, wonderful job! 10/10

Spoiler:

Juan

Enigma: This is really good. Nice colour scheme, plenty of detail, and an interesting theme. I really see the Disney prince in this outfit. Well done. 9/10

April: I can definitely see how this outfit was inspired by Disney princes (I keep wanting to say princess Laugh), especially because of the color scheme. It seems so fitting for a Disney character. The clothing choices are good and make sense, and it's a solid outfit overall. There's nothing much to critique here, as everything fits in and looks great. You get a 9/10.

Tanner: I like your idea behind this one! You can definitely see the Snow White inspiration here and overall I think you captured the classic prince look very well. One small detail I have to applaud you on is how you colored the ring; usually rings have weird color choices, but gold and red look very natural here, great job with that! However, I’m not so sure I like the pants being plain white, and the coloring of the jacket seems a little strange to me (not the vest, just the brown parts and the squiggly lines). 9/10

Spencer: First, I really like the color scheme, it’s really nice, but I would’ve liked red somewhere else but it is a lot of red in one spot so it’s understandable using it only there. Now I love the Disney inspiration, and it’s clear as day too, very nicely done. 9/10

Spoiler:

Cora

Enigma: I don't know why exactly I like this one so much, but I do. There's lots of detail, a great colour scheme and it looks positively regal. There's some items that have no right to suit the outfit as well as they do. Who knew queens looked so good in turtleneck sweaters? 9.5/10

April: This color scheme is really eye-appealing and pleasant to look at. I love it. Every clothing item looks fancy, royal, and fit for a king...wait, queen, sorry. I’m also liking all the gold details, and they’re a good way to complement the gold crown. Now, I would have liked an explanation, since all you did was list the clothing items and colors you chose. Remember, we can see that already - we want to know the "why," not the "what." You get a 6.5/10.

Tanner: We’ve already covered that listing your clothing items and colors don’t count as an explanation, so I’ll be taking 1.5 points from your score. This one’s interesting to me, because I can see the queen aspect of this outfit, but at the same time, it also doesn’t feel like one, if that makes sense. Sure, the crown is there, and the royal cape is there, but other than that, I can’t see a queen wearing any of this. I really don’t like the turtleneck, and although the jacket is fancy, it just doesn’t feel right to me. The color choices aren’t my favorite either. Gold, orange, and dark green is a promising start, but the brown and grey don’t feel right here at all. 5.5/10

Spencer: This is a very unique color scheme for a queen outfit, I like it! But you didn’t explain anything, I want to know why you chose such interesting colors. The outfit itself doesn’t need much explanation, it’s a queen outfit, duh. Not sure about the skirt though. I’d give you a 9 but you earned a penalty so you’ll get a 7.5/10

Spoiler:

Mercedes

Enigma: I know I always tell people off for using too many vibrant colours, but a jester outfit is one of the few times where I actually expect them. With this colour scheme, your outfit looks kind of dampened and toned down, while jesters are all about bright colours and standing out. That being said, though, it's still a great outfit, and deserves a high score. 9/10

April: This outfit is fantastic! I love the color scheme, and you did a great job making an outfit that's both realistic and jester-like. You used clothing items that aren't seen often at all, such as the hat and shoes, and I appreciate that. If there was only one thing to critique, it would be the fact that the pants are striped. In my opinion, making the pants plain (the more purple color, not the blue) would have been a good idea. However, that's just a tiny detail in a great outfit overall. You get a 9/10.

Tanner: The second I saw this outfit, I knew it was going to get a perfect score. It’s super innovative, you made great use of some of the more unused items in PLP, and you made them look good together? Come. ON! This outfit feels like a modernized version of a jester because of the vest and tie, but that makes the outfit so much better in my eyes because you took a great risk that worked so well in the long run. Wonderful job with this outfit, Mercedes! 10/10

Spencer: I love the jester idea! And you pulled it off wonderfully! I absolutely love the color scheme, I like how you decided not to use the color schemes from your reference images because you knew they wouldn’t work well in an outfit, very smart Mercedes! The clothing items are absolutely perfect and she genuinely looks like a jester. I’m extremely impressed Mercedes, the idea, the execution, all perfect! 10/10

Spoiler:

Lavender

Enigma: Um... the vampire challenge was the other Transsylvania one, but the outfit itself actually looks rather good. You called it your worst outfit so far, but it's actually not that bad. The thing I dislike most is the green bits, I think. It just doesn't suit the colour scheme that well.  8.5/10

April: I love how that skirt looks here. It's such a pleasant color and it just fits in so well, especially with the jacket. I can't say the same about the shirt though. It doesn't look bad, but I think there were other options that would have fit in better here. The rest of the outfit is pretty good, so I hope that eases your worrying a bit. You get an 8/10.

Tanner: I can definitely understand why you feel unsure about this one, because it’s so different from your other outfits. However, I do like the direction you went in for this outfit because the mystical-looking colors blend rather well with the fancy conductor look you were trying to go for. You have a unique choice of colors that I’ve never seen done before. It works quite well, but I’m not sure if I like the dress and the shirt having the same color, or your choice of shirt either. I like the idea of having that cape here, although I think the stars and moons could have been a lighter shade since they blend in weird with the cape’s main color. Overall I think this outfit feels incomplete, but it has a lot of potential for improvement. 7.5/10

Spencer: Oh I like this. The colors are really nice. I love the look of the dress. I also love how it looks like a vampire outfit, but not a traditional vampire outfit, it’s difficult to explain really. Anyway the cape is also very nice and the glasses are cool. 8.5/10

Spoiler:

Sam

Enigma: Okay, this is amazing. You pulled off a great medieval armor look while using none of the standard knight parts. The vest, the Roman helmet, everything just fits so well together. Great job! 9.5/10

April: I don't think I've ever seen that hat used in the FC Games (although I could be wrong), so it's good to see you using it. It works perfectly here, as do most of the clothing items. This is a great representation of a guard! You get an 8.5/10.

Tanner: We barely ever get to see that gladiator hat used, but it looks really cool here! I appreciate that you didn’t take the easy way out by dressing in all grey knight clothing, but instead, you improved on that idea by adding your own touches, just like you did with your very successful mime outfit in the ICWs. The muscle shirt looks really great here, as does the arrow quiver. Really the only thing I don’t like about this one is the pirate belt since I feel like there could have been a better option, but I still love this outfit to pieces. Well done! 9.5/10

Spencer: This is a very unique outfit, I really like it! First I never thought I’d like an outfit with that shirt but you proved me wrong, I seriously hate that shirt but it works here. The helmet and arrows usually don’t fit in an outfit but they’re perfect here, and the belt looks really cool. Nicely done. 9/10

Lizzy

Enigma: Okay, so I looked up your original Peasant outfit, and this is definitely an improvement. The more subdued colour scheme works quite well, and making it less fancy was definitely the right way to go. The level of detail in the outfit only improved, which on one hand makes it seem less peasant-like, but on the other hand just makes it overall look better. Good job! 9/10

April: The Pastaria belt being part of the apron is really a creative way to use it, and I can definitely see that! As a whole, your clothing choices are certainly an improvement compared to your original outfit. Everything you're wearing is something I can see a peasant wearing. Nothing seems overly fancy or out of place. Now, I like how you toned down the color scheme a bit, although it's not my favorite. I've really never liked that brown much (the main color of the shirt and shoes). You get an 8/10.

Tanner: I would definitely say that you have improved upon your previous peasant design in both clothing and colors. While your first outfit was very similar to a lot of your previous outfits this season by keeping a somewhat fancy theme, this one focuses more on less-fancier clothing, to which I say “less is more.” The apron looks very cool here, and I think it’s pretty funny that you “extended” the apron by adding the ribbon belt. The fact that you can see the Chinese symbol on the head wrap isn’t a problem for me, but I just feel like that brown dot on it feels unnecessary and a plain one may have been better. Your color scheme is also more balanced, and they have an earthy theme which I think enhances the “peasant” look even more. 8.5/10

Spencer: This time, she looks like a peasant, it’s so much better! I love the pairing of the Pastaria belt and the apron, it works so well together and it’s really creative. Not a huge fan of the hat if I’m going to be honest, if it was all one color it’d be much better. I really like the color scheme, it’s pleasant without being too plain or too vibrant, it’s a nice balance. 7.5/10

Spoiler:

Ason Neives

Enigma: First off, let's get the elephant in the room out of the way. You followed the wrong prompt. The castle prompt was for non-Returnees, and Returnees had to remake the outfit where they got eliminated. For you, that would be the moon or explosion prompt in Egypt's Sudden Death. Nonetheless, your knight outfit is still pretty good, despite it being mostly made of standard knight parts. However, since I need to give you a 5-point penalty for doing the wrong challenge, I'll give you a 3.5/10.

April: Alright, Ason. Let me start off with the most major thing here...you did the wrong challenge. The contestants currently in the game were to create an outfit inspired by someone found in a castle, not the currently eliminated contestants. What you were supposed to do, Ason, was to find the Sudden Death which caused your elimination, and to recreate an outfit for one of the prompts you lost. Unfortunately, that will set you back five points. Now, the outfit itself is a bit uninteresting, but it does certainly look medieval. PLP gives you two perfect medieval clothing items, but it's basically setting a trap for you. You, unfortunately, fell into that trap. Remember, creativity is always encouraged. That being said, I thought the flower was an interesting touch, and I liked the explanation behind it. You get a 2/10.

Tanner: Yeah, sorry dude, but you did the wrong challenge. The castle challenge was only for contestants still in the game; your job was to redo an outfit from a Sudden Death prompt that you lost. Harsh penalty, but you’ll be losing five points from me because of this. I can’t say I like how you used the knight helmet and the knight jacket for a knight outfit since that takes out the creativity factor. I understand the shoe choice but those specific gloves don’t feel fitting. The only part about this outfit that I like is the flower; I thought that was a cool touch. 1.5/10

Spencer: Bruh, wrong challenge... you gotta read the challenge prompt. You were supposed to remake a sudden death outfit that got you eliminated, the challenge you completed was for the competitors still in the competition. It’s also an extremely boring knight outfit. Due to both of these factors I have to give you a 1/10

Spoiler:

Dana

Enigma: Okay, this is really good. Mixing the fancy business outfit with safety gear is something that works really well for this challenge. The colour scheme is great as well. I like how the yellow works both as fancy gold bits and a standard safety helmet. 9/10

April: I like the "safety gear" you incorporated here! The little scenario in your explanation was a great touch, and I enjoyed reading it. The rest of the outfit is formal and perfect for a business owner, so no complaints there. As for the colors, I think using the white somewhere in the shoes would have been beneficial, since that whole bottom section of the outfit is quite dark. You get an 8/10.

Tanner: I see you’ve combined both fancy and worker styles here by adding a story, which I think was a great way to seamlessly bring the two types of outfits together. Also, I think the oil colors (black and blue) and the worker colors (white, brown, and gold) make for a really nice color scheme. I especially like the mask in this outfit to make it feel more modern. You have great color choices in this design, especially in the jacket and shoes. I don’t quite understand the golden sleeves, but other than that, I think this is your best design yet, Dana! 9/10

Spencer: This is definitely an improvement of the first outfit. First off, love the story element! The mix of business attire, and safety gear is great and I think you did a wonderful job with this outfit! The colors are nice and well balanced and she really looks like a CEO who was suddenly called onto a worksite. 9/10

Spoiler:

Reznor

Enigma: It might be a pretty simple outfit, but it's still pretty good. You're right, most oil business owners do tend to wear "business" outfits, with suits and the like. The sunglasses were a nice touch! 8.5/10

April: Your elimination seemed to be caused by misunderstanding the brief, and I'm glad to say that this outfit fits the brief much better. You, for the most part, look exactly like a business owner. Now, I'm not too sure that those sneakers fit in here. They seem a bit too informal for this type of outfit. I also would have liked to have seen a  bit more of an explanation, since you didn't really talk about why you chose what you did. But other than that, this is a great improvement! You get an 6.5/10.

Tanner: I mean, this is definitely a step up from your old outfit, but c’mon Reznor, you need to give us explanations for your outfit since “I googled it and they look like rich people” doesn’t give us enough info. I’ll be giving you a 1.5-point penalty. Moving onto the outfit itself, I think you did a great job with the colors. The dark greys and dark greens seem to “fit” an oil theme for me, and you spaced the colors out pretty nicely. I also like your clothing choices, although they seem a little basic to me. Sure, it works, but I would have liked to see some more creativity than just a simple business outfit. 6/10

Spencer: This time you actually fit the prompt, nice, and it’s a pretty good business outfit. It’s got a nice, but simple, color scheme. I really don’t think there’s much for me to say for this one, nice job. I will take 1.5 points for lack of an explanation. 7/10

Spoiler:

Cameron C

Enigma: 0/10

April: This is definitely an improvement from the original outfit, which had some strange color balancing. This outfit is much more successful when it comes to that. As for your clothing choices, I like the use of the Pastaria jacket as well as the bowtie. My only concern is the red shoelaces. Perhaps they could have been that light pink on the jacket instead, since the red looks strange being used in only that one spot. You get an 8/10.

Tanner: I see you’ve updated your Willy Wonka outfit by dressing him up as the remake version, that’s a cool choice! I have to say that I prefer this one over your old one, because I think the colors work much better here, and I feel like it’s less of a carbon copy which is what your old outfit felt like to me. I like how the hat and jacket look, and I think the shiny pants were a great choice. I’m not 100% feeling the shoes however, probably because of the shoelace and sole colors. I also get that you like using those glasses for all of your outfits, but I felt like it was a missed opportunity to add goggles like the ones Willy Wonka wears in the second movie. 8.5/10

Spencer: This outfit is definitely more Wonka-y than the original outfit you did so it’s a nice improvement. I actually noticed you used a color scheme that fits more with the 2005 Wonka, while your original outfit fits the 70’s wonka, that’s a nice touch that I’m shocked you failed to point out in your explanation. I’m taking 1.5 points for lack of explanation. 7/10

Spoiler:

Pen

Enigma: This colour scheme... I can see why you chose it, but I don't like it. The abundance of pink and lime green doesn't fit well with the darker colours in the outfit, and don't suit the overall casual style of the outfit. The outfit itself is not that bad, but the colours just make it look way worse than it needs to be. 7.5/10

April: I must say, I'm really enjoying this color scheme! It's balanced well and it's very creative. The chili shirt representing his "chill" vibes was an...interesting approach, but I have no problem with it. This is probably one of my favorite outfits of yours this season, Pen! You get an 8.5/10.

Tanner: This one’s pretty interesting. I can see where you got your colors from, but they seem random in certain parts such as the shoes and hat. You seem to have based your outfit on being someone who likes to look cool with his friends, and I do get a hipster look from the outfit so I’ll give you that. I wish you had talked about your clothing choices more since all you said about it was that not all travelers need backpacks or cameras. I want to know why you chose that specific shirt, or the fedora, that kind of stuff. I won’t give you a penalty since you gave us a fair explanation, but I don’t think I have a full understanding of this design. 7/10

Spencer: This is a very interesting color scheme, I really like it. First I have to say, MAJOR improvement from the original outfit. This outfit actually has colors that match the scene. The outfit doesn’t really match it but it’s a good outfit, I don’t understand why you went for a traveler outfit. I like the chili shirt to represent him being chill, it’s pretty funny. 7/10
