Foo just got introduced to the nation by a former Spice Girl's cover of "It's Raining Men." That is, well, awesome.Originally Posted by zbromer
Um, "Its Raining Men" was originally done by The Weather Girls. Don't ask me how I know this.

From the screen shot alone, Ontario Armstrong had the best look and was the most at ease on the broadcast. Still, Dan T. had some great combos that appealed to the eds of Esquire.Originally Posted by KHosten
Ontario did look pretty comfortable, but I didn't much care for the bell bottom pants, the size of the tie knot and him constantly having his elbow bent. However, he was definitely top 3 out of those 5.

I think Dan T. has the image and style most Americans would accept as well dressed and stylish. I prefer Foo's outfit/style out of all of them (and within this forum too). However, I do realize that many people might describe his style as stuffy, old man or classic (nice way of saying old). Dan looks very "fashionable". He's styled like a magazine editorial or a mannequin in a department stores designer section, which I don't mean as an insult. I think people don't give enough credit for what it take to put looks like this together. In any case as others have said, there really isn't a winner in a competition offering a $10k Kenneth Cole wardrobe. Note: I don't think Kenneth Cole is the equivalent of a fashion trash bag (I own a great down jacket that turns into vest with zip off sleeves), but I think for many on here a KC suit is a huge downgrade.Originally Posted by MORNINGSTAR777
Didn't they talk about an IWC watch and 15K elsewhere. I'd ebay all that **** for say 10K and that'd be it but still. Ps: I think foo looks great and very natural so screw you haters.

Dan T. looked like a moron with that rugby shirt on.
Foo looked pretty plain, but I'm sure that's just how the 'Foo likes it.
It was pretty funny how they just had to sit there like morons while the Esquire guy spoke about them. That must have been the longest 15 seconds of Foo's life.
Somehow, I think losing is more validation for mafoofan than winning would have been. It fits right in with the whole "I'm going to be stylish when I am so boring I hate myself" motif.
