Opening Night Results

I Love Paris Takes No Prisoners

Our fashion-forward friends from I Love Paris stepped out in style, delivering two knockout performances. They started their night with a commanding 5-0 victory against Niwa, before strutting their stuff with another 5-0 win against ANZ. That's what we call a perfect night on the runway... er, table!

Crepes A Go Go Serves Up Success

Crepes A Go Go cooked up a storm, starting with a delicious 5-0 victory against Topologic before barely scraping by with a thrilling 3-2 win over Niwa. These crêpe masters are clearly hoping to whip up a recipe for season success!

ANZ Banks Mixed Returns

ANZ opened their account with a solid 4-1 win against Super Standard but found their credit running low in a 5-0 loss to I Love Paris. Time to check those interest rates before next week!

Topologic Charts a Recovery

After being mapped out 5-0 by Crepes A Go Go in their opener, Topologic recalculated their coordinates to secure a close 3-2 victory over Super Standard. That's what we call finding your bearings!

Super Standard Looking to Raise the Bar

Super Standard faced some tough competition, falling 4-1 to ANZ in their first outing before a narrow 3-2 loss to Topologic. The design team will be sketching out new strategies for next week!

Niwa Forecasts Improvement

Niwa weathered some storms tonight, dropping their opener 5-0 to I Love Paris before a nail-biting 3-2 loss to Crepes A Go Go. The forecast for next week looks brighter!
