Ok, so it ain''t Idol...but does anyone watch Project Runway?

[lovelylulu]

i

project runway!

and i agree -- that coffee filter dress was brilliant!

 

[SoonIHope]

YES, totally loved the coffee filter dress AND Katherine''s last night! BAH! I almost swore off the show entirely last night though, after a long long rant to my fiance about how Vincent should have gone on the basket-head night, and Angela should have gone....every other night. They all LOVED Katherine''s dog-hoodie, and I totally loved her dress too! Nothing wrong with simple! STOP LISTENING TO THE PRODUCERS AND VOTE OFF THE CRAZY BAD PEOPLE!!!!!!

 

[jcrow]

YEAH it took me a minute to even process that!! How was THAT less simple than Katherine''s????????

Also, did you see Bradley''s expression when they said they loved his?? He was just so confuuuused! Hehehe.

 

[moremoremore]

You're right. It's no idol.
IT IS SO MUCH FREAKIN BETTER THAN IDOL COULD EVER DREAM TO BE!!!! LOL

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this show. LOVE it. I even watch the re-runs. Last night with the dogs was the best episode ever! SOOOOO cute.

I loved the animal print dress and LOVED the hip hop guy's dress. The work on the neckline was STUNNING. I don't know all of their names yet...I'm bad with names....

I was shocked about Bradley's .... but the more I looked at it, the cooler it became. I think he is a sweetie pie!!!

But I'm still not "over" NICK from last season!!!! Is it wrong to be in love with a gay man? Can I get him to come play for my team?

I was confused too! Although, it did remind me of Daniel V''s orchid shirt from the last season, which won, so it being a hit makes sense.

I know Vincent isn''t the most talented designer up there, but I really like his crazy personality. I think I fell in love with him when he put that basket hat on the model''s head and thought it looked "kooky". Poor guy is such a nerd, but he always seems so excited. I''m rooting for him to stay in a little longer.

Ahhh, Nick, I miss Nick!

But mainly...as I said to my fiance just a short while ago...If he (my fiance) wasn''t around, and Tim Gunn were straight, I would soooooo marry him! Tim Gunn rules!!!!

Does anyone read "Tim''s Take" on the Bravo website?? BEST THING EVER!!!!!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

I love PR! There is just something about it that is so entertaining!

HA!!! So true! That guy is my "stealth" pick to win ... he just has a GIFT, you know? Michael Knight I think is his name???

Didn''t see it ''til late last night but OH MY GOD -- DOGGIES. SO MANY DOGGIES. I was beaming. What a boatload of furry cuties. SQUEEL!

i agree about the hip hop guy! he''s so not recognized- yet his work is just stellar!

The designer with the PUG model won.

Sure, her dress was pretty, but the pooch model gave her the extra points, I think.

HOW could I forget the name Michael Knight! That RULES!!!!

Me too. A part of me died that day!!! (when he got eliminated - talk about bull caca) He shoulda won the whole damn thing.

I don''t have a clear cut fave this year. Though I did think that blonde chick shoulda won last night instead of Uli. I think they felt bad that Uli didn''t win last week cuz they loved her dress. While her dress was nice, I thought the blonde girl''s look was the most put together.

Awe I am so sad for Alison on so you think you can dance. I thought for SURE that Natalie was going home--even though I adore her. Alison and Natalie are my fav. girls. Oh well. I am SO torn between Travis, Ivan, and Benji though. I feel like Benji is maybe a little more versitile, but they are ALL so talented at what they do!

I KNOW!!!!! I am SOOO bummed about Allison and I feel REALLY guilty now for not voting for her last nite. Not like I think 15 extra votes could have REALLY helped but you never know. I thought she was way better than Natalie...I like all the girls but Natalie for me is more a one trick pony whereas Allison seems to be more versatile and man did you see her dancing tonite? She was just sooo amazing. I was really shocked when she went.

The next girl I'd like to see go is Natalie or Donyelle. I really love Heidi..hehee. She just has such a fab personality and I just love her dancing. The final two I would love to see Donyelle and Heidi.

For the guys...Ryan was definitely the right choice, but I was surprised to see Travis in the bottom two and not Ivan! I would like to see Ivan go next, then have Benji and Travis battle it out though honestly I think Benji is set to win....do you hear how absolutely NUTS the crowd goes for him?? BENJIIIIIIIIIIII!!!

 

[San Diego Bride]

yay!! i''m not the only one addicted to project runway!! i absolutely love that show!!

i don''t understand some of their decisions though. i agree with jcrow that the coffee filter dress was really cute, but it didn''t even make the top 3. and i actually liked the dress that got voted off. when she was called (stacy, i think), i thought she was in the top 3. last night i was sure bradley was in the bottom 3 and they loved it. what was that about?

i was irritated when that guy started taking credit for the bracelet saying he made it. i didn''t mind him until then. if he''s taking credit for making a bracelet... and making excuses when they call him on the lie.... then maybe he does get kicked off for copying other peoples'' designs. i can''t wait to see.

here''s how addicted i am to this show... i actually watched part of the miss universe pageant (caught it while i was flipping through channels) to see the dress that cain designed. i thought it was beautiful. i turned it off as soon as i saw the girl parade around in the dress.

 

[whatmeworry]

Yeah, I''m starting to watch Project Runway. Ignored it last year and watched Top Chef instead. I''m hoping they keep Angela around a bit longer because she is a pure disaster and makes good television. Won''t sketch for Miss United States and designs hooker outfits for grade school art teachers. Great stuff.

 

[DonaBella]

My daughter and I love to watch SYTYCD each week. Yes, Mary Murphy is a hyper less drunk version of Paula and way out there! I was surprised to find out that Allison was booted out! I couldn''t watch tonight due to a baby shower I was at so I found out via the net. I figured Ryan would go unfortunately. He was sweet and good, just not too good I guess. I like him more as a partner than I do Ivan and way more than I do as a solo act than Ivan. Ivan is very meh as a solo dancer to me.

I hope that it gets down to Heidi and Benji as the final two. Heidi has progressed immensely with her softness in the contemporary she did with Travis. I love Donyelle. She is very good despite not fitting the typical skinny, willowy frame that you expect from a dancer. Natalie is quite a dancer and I think she has a prominent future as a dancer. I do NOT feel she will win, but she has a secure future and so does Donyelle. Travis is superb. Musa was excellent. Dmitry was good to look at but just a meh as a dancer. Benji is the REAL deal and I hope he wins or finishes with the winner. He and Heidi do not have difficulty in handling a new dance and that is great.

My two daughters have danced for over 16 years and it takes alot of versatility, enthusiasm and technique to progress. I love watching the show, but the british host is getting to me too, but so is Nigel Lythgoe. He is often overly harsh I feel and abrupt in his comments.

Whatever. I like the show and will stay watching.

 

[lilyinct]

Love PR....wish it was on every night! How pathetic to think that I look forward to Wednesday nights for PR....

Keith is an arrogant &*^%$$, I hope he''s the one who gets kicked off next week.

I agree that the blond chick should have won- Uli''s designs all look the exact same to me.


Anyone else listen to Tim Gunn''s podcast on Project Runway? It''s cool, he gives you the "insider" look at each show- it''s on ITunes weekly after each episode....apparently, he REALLY hates Vincent....

 

[littlelysser]

I can''t believe Allison went last night! I was shocked.

Admittedly, all of the girls are really good...but I was surprised nonetheless. Natalie has got to stop crying those SHEESH!

And although I may be alone here, I like Ivan. Travis bugs me. He spins too much.


Anyhoodle, Bryan was definitely the right choice for the next guy to go.

 

[Maria D]

I love Project Runway!

Even though Angela is an idiot, I don't think she should have gotten the "auf" for the last episode. Her design was "clown clothes," as Tim Gunn likes to say in his podcast, but at least she took a chance and showed a point of view. Katherine's was so simple. Also, Nina gets hung up on execution -- therefore hated Katherine's ratty hem. Vincent's outfit was even simpler but again showed point of view with the hat and capri leggings whereas Katherine's looked like a dress you could pick up anyhere. What's with Vincent's fixation on hats?? Angela should have been knocked off in the Miss Universe episode for not coming up with a sketch.

I'm worried about Michael Knight. He's got these great designs, and yet seems to get no airtime. I'm hoping it's not because he's the one who gets kicked out for rule breaking next week.

And I love Laura! True, she's used fur twice but for the 3rd challenge she was complementing the dog. I would have picked her dress for Miss Universe. Very modern and "red carpetty" and -- no fur!

If you are a PR fan you definitely need to listen to Tim Gunn's podcast. It's as good as the show!

edited to add: I was surprised that Nina didn't call out Robert on his mismatched plaid seams on the Chanel inspired outfit. I hate mismatched plaid! (Laura's matched perfectly.) Michael Kors should be back soon. His snarky comments are much more entertaining than Vera Wang's critiques.

Omigod. I wanted to post right after, but didn''t want to spoil the show. SO SAD. I was pouting. They kept saying "If your favorite is leaving it''s cause you DIDN"T PICK UP THE PHONE" and I was shouting back "I DID I DID". I think this might be the first time a fave of mine HASN''T made the finals of a reality show. So, clearly, It''s FIXED.

My theory is that the teeny-boppers who like IVAN thought she was moving in on their man with all the kissy kissy, romantic routines they kept giving ''em. --OR-- like Chris Daughtrey''s shocking elimination ... people assumed she was SAFE. They voted for people who''d had "bad nights" - Donyelle, Natalie...

And although I may be alone here, I like Ivan. Travis bugs me. He spins too much.

Yr not alone! I LOVE Ivan! What a cutie pie. My 2nd fave guy. Travis bugs me too ... too wimpy ... too teary ... too spastic ...too eager. Ivan is cool. But no one holds a candle to MY BENJI.

Mara''s right about the audience ... they go APE-dewdew for him.

 

[Mara]

i don''t know why but after travis did his solo a few weeks ago with his parents in the audience, i was really touched at how moved he was. and since then he has really moved fwd for me as a favorite. i can''t really figure ivan out...travis is kind of a weepster but hello isn''t he like contemporary jazz or something like natalie and they are both emotional nutcases. all that crying? it always gets me too how when natalie does a solo she ends up sobbing at the end. is it REALLY that emotional every time? i guess maybe so but it just seems kind of odd. and then she can''t even speak after the solo. i always kind of wonder if it''s contrived. i loved natalie with musa but on her own she just doesn''t do it for me as ''better than'' donyelle or heidi, or even allison for that matter.

yep definitely feeling the guilt last nite for allison going.

i''m totally voting next week for whoever i want to stay, even if it splits them! though at this point i just really want heidi and benji...i would have loved to see heidi and allison at the end but oh well.

 

[ivanadiamond]

I love Project Runway too! I was hooked last season and I like the cast this time around even more. I was really sad to see the guy go (I can''t remember his name) and his story about his mom just broke my heart! I loved him! Although the dress was just terrible

 

[monarch64]

Love, love, LOVE PR! Unfortunately, Heidi Klum drives me insane, don''t know why...

Watching Keith this season has been an exercise in patience for me, but I think he''s just their "villain" just like Santino was last season...the guy who executes his designs so fabulously but is a big ol'' jerk in the end! Hey, TX ladies, who has been to Chloe''s store? Lot 8, right? I loved her designs, although they are a little too "teenybopper" for moi, as far as "high fashion."

This season I am so ready for the girl who wears the self-made bubble skirts with jean jackets to go...I think her name is Angelo, wait, is it Allison? LOL. (Those of you who have been paying attention will know what I mean...pageant gown design, anyone?)

I think Vincent is a bit of a putz and won''t last tooo much longer...I missed the latest episode so I don''t know if he''s still standing...

I love Bravo...Project Jay is kind of hilarious and I try to watch when I can on weekends when the re-runs are on.

I think they will make it to the end. And you''re right about natalie crying too much--geeze. Oh well, All of the top 10 will be on tour--that''s pretty cool. At this point I am pulling for Benji all the way! Isn''t there a story about how he proposed to his g.f a little before the show, and she said no? Anyone know? My room mate was saying she heard soemthing like that.

 

[Maria D]

I didn''t realize that Project Jay was a series now. I saw the one episode documentary last spring and thought that was it -- I''ll have to check that out.

It''s funny, my daughter and I loved Heidi Klum until we saw that Project Jay show. Now we just think of her as the *itch that drove Jay crazy making her a beautiful red dress only to wear that garden goddess monstrosity!

I love Bravo...

Me too!!! Project Runway is awesome, Top Chef was infinitely entertaining, and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy remains one of my absolute favorites... one of the rare shows that actually makes me giggle out loud uncontrollably for a solid hour. Now lately I''ve been watching Work-Out... and find myself semi-addicted already...

 

[jcrow]

hum, project jay?! must look into that!
