Project Runway check-in

I want to crazy guy that did the hat last week to get kicked off tonight. Any other predictions?

Oh and Malan, Milan, whatever, drives me freaking insane

as good as season one.

i don't think crazy hat man will get kicked off to night.

but -- i don't know.

i am lovin it.

and i'm loving hating the ones i hate.

he should have been kicked off last week!

guy stay than Malan...his laugh is just SO GODAWFUL ANNOYING!!
I thought that Laura's coat design should have won last week...the guy who won, his dress was very cute, but not nearly as innovative with materials as was her coat.
Can't wait to see what happens tonight.

who would have thought of using coffee filters as a dress and one that even I would wear

would have been a better choice too than the one that did win...
I thought that was way cute.

Who do you think the surprise guest is gonna be tonight???

Or maybe Babs herself. :rofl:

I'm really curious as to who it is myself. I love this show!

(not sure if I spelled her name correctly) is not as vacuous and shallow as Paris seems to be.

yikes.
But then, I don't normally associate 'Bush' with 'royalty'

I'd love to see someone really classy, and who might more honestly fit that description, like Caroline Kennedy for example, but I don't know if she'd get involved in something like this.
I bet she'd be fun to dress...her wedding dress was so cool, very unique and appropriate for her.

:puke:

lynnesin -- we have to get you out here to san fran for halloween sometime -- you really would have a hoot at the balls.

I love the show but I have come to conclusion that if a crazy psycho is up against a boring person for the last two standing before they give the boot - it will always be the boring person booted first.

How else can you explain how Wendy Pepper and Santino made it to the final 3

because they had it on NBC. I don't have cable, so don't have Bravo. I liked it a lot though. Does anyone know if there is a way to watch this show without having cable? Is it available on the internet somewhere after the episodes air?

Robert or Uli did, imo.

Jefferey is also an annoying egoist with one of the most annoying tats I have EVER seen!!!

Heidi looks way better with some preggo meat on her bones.

I love M. Kors and Nina Garcia (said with German accent Spanish accent). Kate Spade seems freakishly normal (and kinda cute).

It's going to be a GREAT season!!!

If Robert did the white dress with the red bows on the back, I agree, he should have won. That dress was beautifully, beautifully tailored. I couldn't believe how perfectly it fit the model or how well it was sewn, on the fly like that.

Keith The Annoying ONe only used a SHEET. Just ONE thing?! That's already basically PIECE OF MATERIAL!!!

I am sooo looking forward to his smackdown... by Michael Kors AND Nina Garcia, I hope!

the buttons in the back (I am a sucker for buttons...I collect them and use them in all kinds of projects)
But innovative? Hardly.

And, who did they slam last season for not using enough different material in a challenge like this? Was it Kara? Yet, Keith only uses ONE thing -- which is FABRIC!!!

Laura's fur jacket was nice, too.

then to pick the most mundane dress made was incredibly stupid. What were they supposed to do anyway? At least basket-hat guy was trying!

and I too love the coffee filter dress.

I thought that rock star designer guy (Jeffrey?) must have been mortified to be one of the last two losers on the very first show. I think they might keep him for a while for the "drama."

crap...
He may have talent, but I don't know that his taste makes his stuff accessible to most women.
And I don't know ANY woman who would, when not pregnant, wear a dress that is longer in the front than in the back. BUTT UGLY.

Just because it's different doesn't make it fashionable, or chic, or cool, or hot, or whatever...

It was fun and pretty. I also liked Laura's coat.

He's so strange! And I love his look. :D

:)

If you STILL think he designs well after that, you need glasses.

One word: odd.

No...I'm sorry! TWO words: ugly odd.

I believe you will agree.

And I don't think it's that bad! I rather like some of it. :)

My guess is no. No woman in her right mind would be seen in 90% of the designs on Malans website.

If you ever see me walking around in a plaid skirt with a bushel of feathers springing from the cooch area, just shoot me dead...I've lost all sense of taste! :eyes:

he seems like a classy guy - I like his comments. There's something very appealing about him.

He seems like one of the nicer and more low-key designers. And it seems like he really knows what he's doing.

I CAN'T STAND THAT STUPID IDIOT OLD GUY WITH GLASSES! The guy who had his model wearing an f'n basket hat last week. He really needs to go.

Kayne's dress is gorgeous. Plus his partner Robert is one of the best. (loved last week's dress).
Hope they win.

I think it looks horrible. Angela was right not to work with him. He was an absolute asshole to her.

He is a total whiny bitchy queen and why they like his horrible dress is beyond me. Why he wasn't kicked off on the first show is beyond me!

What's going on?

wtf

I think his team got tossed in there because they heard about how Angela basically sat on her ass the entire time. There is a quip at the end of the show that says that producers also have feedback on who gets eliminated.

:cry:

Vincent is till in? And Malan is out? He was robbed. Robbed.
Hate this turn of events. It sucks.

:grr:

i don't know if it was just the editing or what, but that crazy guy treated his partner like crap. based on what i saw, it's not that SHE failed him, it's that he refused to work with her. not even giving her little things to do just to pass time.

at least Malan's dress could be said to be original. it just wasn't executed right.

it's too bad. i wonder if they would have kept Malan if he had acted like an asshole instead of being classy and taking the blame for the dress.

They must keep the crazies on for ratings, because I think by anyone's objective judgement, Malan deserved to stay and Vincent (who should have been kicked off on the first episode) should have been BYE-BYE outta there!

He was a total bitch to his partner. It wasn't her fault, I'm sure had she been paired up with any other designer there this wouldn't have happened to her.

They showed how she was sucking up to Kayne before the presentation because she knew Kayne had experience designing pagent dresses. Then she was the only designer to not even bother with a dress design for Miss USA claiming she doesn't draw but asks questions. And if you noticed - she was the LAST person picked because no one wanted to work with her so it's not like she had a choice being paired up with any other designer because no one likes her at all.

Vincent is a loop job but the worst thing is she tried to throw him under the bus to Tim Gunn.

She should have been sent packing.

did she do ANYthing constructive the entire episode?

Malan, at least, had a design that was good enough to be one of those that Miss USA selected. And he worked well in the team (which was a little surprising). And he did the stand-up thing in taking blame/responsibility for the execution failure. But Angela didn't design, didn't work as a team, didn't do anything. I think she should have gone.

last week and this week. And his inability to work with his partner should have reflected on him, whether it was his fault or not. That was part of the challenge.
He fails on all counts and still scrapes by.

How crushing was THAT?

He only wanted to prove his mother wrong when she told him at age 13 he would never amount to anything :scared:

No friends "I am always seeing people as I leave" something like that :scared:

He turned down an offer to be on season 2 because he wanted to be ready to prove his mother wrong.

:wow:

He dress wasn't for a pageant but it was quite the creation.

The guy who looks like William Devane is lucking out because people keep dropping the ball. They should have kicked him and Angela out (even though she is a hottie :loveya: )

Angela is a hottie? Her nostrils have a greater diameter than those of most horses. :o

I'm just sayin'.

I agree with you about Vincent though, he's a talentless little bitch.

And Malan should definitely have one of those crisis counselors dispatched to his side immediately. You know, the ones who jump into action after a plane crash or air show disaster. It was rare for a contestant to be so honest about something that happened to them as a kid, it's a shame he went so soon!

or at least he is still on Myspace which is a close approximation of life
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=56910928

and access to his MySpace password is.

But that raises a whole bunch of new questions entirely. :o

Malan is out! And he is classy. He took full responsibility. Angela should have been out. Damn. Hate this.

was better than Vincent's POS!

And Malan is so obviously a better designer than Vincent!

The sleeves were weird but she had nice things to say about the dress

There.

I said it. :)

which is why that fluff from Kayne won instead of that awesome dress that Uli made (which I would wear)

I don't like Vincent. He is the weirdo to me.

I cannot wait for season 2 of top chef

on edit: We have not seen the last of Malan, they will bring him back somehow

If you remember, when the judges asked Ms. USA about Vincent's dress she actually had nice things to say about it for all except the strange shoulders. When she looked at Malan's dress she just cringed. And Miss USA was the customer.

Now, I didn't realize this but someone pointed it out from last week. There is a quip in the closing credits that say the producers have some say in the final decision. And Tim Gunn had a chance to hear about how Angela basically sat on her ass for the entire 2 days for the competition and her complaints about the dress (I thought Angela's face was a classic when she heard Miss USA compliment Vincent on the dress design). So I'm thinking that there was a mention to the judges about the poor team behavior between team Vincent & Angela and that's what plopped them in the bottom 2 NOT the dress design (personally I didn't like Jeffery's dress either - another shredder designer).

i forgot about how she didn't even make a sketch.

it will be interesting to see what she comes up with in the future. i still don't like the crazy guy, but i'm wondering if he will become the Santino of this season. continually in the bottom 2 but somehow ends up in the final 3.

i didn't think he was any good anyways...

my daughter was actually teary eyed when he was crying. I cannot stand the winner from last week and Vincent is a little nuts and i hated, hated, hated the shoulders of his dress but the back was pretty and Hip hop guy and Red head lady did a great job, i really like the both of them. The dress that won imo did look like a pageant dress so i can understand her picking it, Miss USA i did not care for at all.

but i'm not picking because of personality... i just think he's a darn good designer.

is tattoo guy--bleh, i don't like the de-constructed look all that much and i think his attitude sucks, hmmmm kind of like mine, maybe familiarity does breed contempt.

he's another Wendy Pepper/Santino

Each season has a monkey... someone who makes good TV.

The crazy guy keeps people tuning in.

I've noticed that Bravo uses the monkey formula in all
of its reality shows. On Top Chef, it was Tiffani.
