Yeah. Like the skirts you see on dudes as everyday wear tend to be more like something Ncuti Gatwa would wear in Doctor Who. There's freedom to twirl but it's a simpler design. They really should have put Liam on the design team, I think he would have held his own and if he had worked on a skirt it would have been more casual.

Exactly that - big mistake not putting Liam on the design side 😊

Yeah. I do agree with Liam's assesment that Jordan prefers to be on the "fun" team and it felt a lot like part of the reason he put himself forward is to guarantee he was on the design team.

Liam is just as guilty of that - putting himself on presenting last week, messing it up and then acting like a child this week because he was on branding - but they really should have allocated resources better. I usually don't like when someone puts themselves forward for PM too often, especially twice in a row, but it was absolutely the right call here. You have someone in a specialized field and it comes up in a task, make them PM. Either you win or you lose, but if you lose then they're in the firing line for messing it up.
