I guess the article is obviously wrong, the writer lied and some contestants have crappy taste in clothes, ala Pickler's red Ho shoes.

LOL!! They could have changed it up, maybe? I don't know. Or maybe they just have really bad taste in clothing. They need Stacy and Clinton from What Not the Wear to help them out.

I'd rather say "mis-stated" than "lied". All past stories indicate that the contestants get a clothing budget and are responsible for themselves. My guess is that the designers give them a few suggestions/choices -- I think the writer phrased this as "give them few choices" instead of "give them a few choices".
