About the judging in this season

Does anybody else feels like the judges are being very inconsistent on this season? I was having some issues with the judging, specially the favoritism towards Hester and the dismiss of designers like Sebastian or Sonia, but what really caught my attention was how they criticized Garo this week. He was high 3 times, won past week challenges and so far the judges praised how he managed to use his corsetry skills in different designs. But this week, when he felt in the bottom for the first time after episode 3, suddenly he became a "costume maker" and had a limited and dated aesthetic. I also feel like the judges (and Elaine in particular) are valuing styling much more than actual sewing skills, with Nina still being the voice of reason, as usual. What do you think about that?
