![]() ![]() Blake: I feel like he was cast to be an early boot tbh. I think she was cast mainly for personality and because she had a very distinctive way of designing but not a serious winner candidate. I don't think they were expecting her to completely flop but I don't think they had real high hopes for her either. She had a very unique point of view for sure. Amanda: I think they were taking a chance on her but weren't expecting her to make it super far. PR didn't work out for her though, she really struggled. She was a Parsons graduate and had her designs in stores prior to the season. They don't cast somebody who is boring television unless they have high hopes for them (see somebody like Leanne). ![]() Gabrielle: I know most people think she was probably cast for fodder but I actually think they had real high hopes for her. I think the judges were hopeful there'd be more hits than misses but I don't think they were super shocked when she missed more than she hit. Han Miao: This type of designer is always kind of hit or miss, they're cast partially for entertainment and very hit/miss designs. Really sweet guy and I think the judges were very disappointed that the reason why they had to eliminate him was due to the fact they couldn't count on him following the rules. He also was one of the designers who didn't bring his tools to the compeitition. His eliminated look had little to nothing to do with the challenge, he kind of just did his own thing. That being said, I think their hands were kind of tied behind their back with him in that he wasn't really following the competition rules. If nothing else though he had a really interesting point of view. David: I think they were kind of mixed on him going into the season if I had to guess. One of their top people was gone immediately. I actually think they originally planned on eliminating Blake first based on the way Heidi talked to him but changed it to Duncan when they realized his heart really wasn't into the competition. You can tell Heidi's face is completely crest-fallen when Duncan openly says he didn't really have a clear story/point of view. Tbh though, rewatching the judging I'm honestly thinking they may have initially planend to keep him though. His first look was VERY polarizing, some loved it and some hated it. They aren't going to pay for a contestant to come from NZ unless they were very impressed with him. Duncan: I think they actually had VERY high hopes for him going int othe season. ![]()
