I was struck during Week 2 that Angela wasn't the problem with she and Vincent. In fact, I can't figure out how Vincent is still on this show.

[lucizoe]

'Kay, I'm all caught up now.

Agree re-Vincent. Man is crazy.

Keith is a textbook sociopath.

Laura is a good seamstress, but sort of dull. Everything she's done looks like it could come out of Ann Taylor or something. Bland. And while I can appreciate that she's comfy with her body, I really wish she'd wear more clothes that cover her sternum. I think it would be more flattering.

Why won't they let us get to know Michael? They never ever discuss his designs, and I love what he's doing.

Jeffrey got away with what hate-speech and tries way too hard to be alternative. Be gone!

Allison is cute and edgy - like her.

Heidi Klum has no taste. If something "looks expensive," then it's good. And looking "cheap" is the ultimate insult. Yikes.

Uli is okay. Doesn't really inspire anything in me. The halter dresses look like ready to wear pieces from Charlotte Russe or H&M. Her construction skills rock, though.

Angela isn't capable.

I probably forgot someone, but whatever.

I've had a hard time adjusting to this season of PR- I mainly watched last season for Santinio. I still enjoying doing my own Tim Gunn impersonations, so ladies "Carry on"

[lunasol]

who made the "feminazi" comment?

it was tattoo neck. fuckwit. ever since that comment, i've been gunning for him to GO.

is anyone else warming up to angela? she kind of charmed me this week. yeah, she has a crazy aesthetic but hello? santino?

[roseviolet]

Luci, who made the "feminazi" comment?

Just got to see Episode 4 on YouTube & was struck by the little announcement at the end. Did you all notice that you can sign up to win a shopping spree at Macy's with Angela? Scroll down to the bottom of the page for the info. I must admit that the $5000 is tempting, but I wonder if it would be okay if I just shopped on my own!

By the by, the tee? With Angela's sketch on it? That they're selling for $29? Puh-leez! Was that really necessary, Macy's? Was it?

Also, did anybody notice Uli's design? There were pants and a jacket, but the top? You guessed it. Halter style with a V neck. I worry about her

[lucizoe]

Total driveby, as I just found the episodes on youtube, but I am in such a state of shock over episode two. The Vincent and Angela thing. Is it just me, or was she NOT asking him what she should do to help and he was completely blowing her off, then blaming her for not helping? I mean, yeah, she was annoying everyone, but he was out of line. Gaaaah. And the "feminazi" comment? Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to air that? And all the guys in the room laughing. It felt like a huge slap in the face, like behavior like that was being condoned. I dunno. Feeling a lot of misogyny from this show all of a sudden.

Blah. It better redeem itself soon.

edited to correct episode number

[karianne]

what about this?? Keith...dude...grow up.



My Webpage

crap...the link does not work, still trying to figure out the new lounge.


There is an article on people.com where Keith denies he did anything wrong.

[turbojenn]

Ah, but rosie, have you seen the wonder that is Project Rungay?

Sooooo fabulous.......

[roseviolet]

Oopsie! I meant to say Keith! His damn last name screws me up. I, too, am a Michael fan and do not want to see him go.

Okay. I fixed it.

And because I luvz y'all so much ...

I want your soul!

roseviolet, it wasn't michael, it was keith. he had pattern books, which are explicitly forbidden in the rules, and he also left the premises without permission and, i believe, used the internet, which is also forbidden. so he basically out and out broke at least three rules.

[turbojenn]

RV - it was "Keith Michael" that got the boot, not Michael, the hottie with the curve-loving designs, whom I adore!

I'm sure there are lots of rules we don't know about, and really we probably don't need to know about. Do we really *need* to know that they aren't allowed to have pattern books, or leave the set? Probably not - I'm sure they sign big long contracts and are reminded of do's and don'ts all the time by producers and folks off camera. Keith is just a rule breaker by nature, and an arrogant ass to boot.

I do miss Andrae too. sniff.

[roseviolet]

I am weak.
[hangs head in shame]
I just couldn't wait until the weekend & just watch the show & find out what happened the "natural" way. Instead, I thought to myself, "It's gotta be Keith. That's all there is to it. And if they eliminate someone else, too, it probably won't be one of my favorites." And I was right! So it's all okay.

I'm still a bit confused on why Keith got kicked off. He had some sort of books, yes? Were they pattern making books or something? And why were they illegal? And where did he get them? Was he actually hiding them & then - oh, I don't kow - reviewing them while sitting on the john? I must say that I thought a lot of Keith's work was excellent & I was suprised by that because he said he had no experience making gowns/dresses before. So although I cannot honestly say that I was suspicious of him, I thought that his quality in cut & pattern making was far better than I expected.

But now I'm very curious about how exactly things work on the show. I feel that there are rules involved that weren't explained to us from the very beginning. What aren't they telling us?

I still don't know much about the challenge or who made what, but I'm not shedding any tears over Bonnie's departure. Anyone with that much focus on stretch fabrics was doomed to fail eventually.

I watched some snippets from last season over on YouTube. I miss Nick & Andrae & Daniel V. And even Santino. Sniffle.

[edited to fix Keith's name!]

[kittenb]

Was Keith really so stupid and arrogent that he did not think he would get caught? You could tell that he just did not see it coming. And he did not think that he was getting booted.

I was overly thrilled by anything that I saw last night, although Angela's team did the best job overall.

[Divala]

I was so happy to see that smarmy little weasel go last night! Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, GOODBYE! I thought it would be for trying to get a deal at Mood or obviously plagiarizing his designs, but whatever it took, I was glad to see him go.

I don't think they could have given Jeffrey and Allison the win based on Keith's vision. And was up with the weird stirrups on the shirt?

Angela's group's outfit was lovely, just wish it didn't have Angela's name on it. But I'm really liking how Laura and Michael work together. Very, very strong.

Bonnie deserved to be kicked off. Of course they needed a long-ass shirt to cover up those awful brown pants! And when they put a coat over something that covers everything up, you gotta wonder how bad the rest of the outfit is.

Can't wait for Michael Kors to come back!

[mouse]

oh, lord. well, we certainly saw that coming right?

robert's design was so ugly and bad. i actually didn't really like any of them, but i think angela's deserved to win. teamwork is good for her! i really like alison. i am rooting for her and bradley. i missed the first two episodes, but has vincent done anything interesting? why is he still there?

i think robert should have been auf'd rather than bonnie, but neither of their designs were good. at least bonnie's was better made and a little colorful. robert's deisgn looked like something you would buy at jc penney in 1992.

[falljackets]

and you know he'll wind up telling all his friends that he TOTALLY would have won the show ... if it weren't for those pesky kids.

i knew it was him for sure from the minute the show started and he went to the store and started trying to get a deal on the materials. he even said, "i always break the rules". garrrr!

i agree about angela's design. she would have put those cod-awful rosettes all over the piece if left to her own devices.

[turbojenn]

I'm sayin' that if you didn't catch the show, ya shouldn't come in here if you don't want it spoiled! ha!

I loved how Keith still really kind of dodged responsibility for what he did, like he was some kind of victim, because now his reputation would be ruined, etc, etc. The books were a clear violation - but leaving the set to go out into the real world - he should've gotten his ass kicked to the curb, right then and there!

I was so sad for my dear robert last night, that his design was so dreadful - that jacket - gah, it was straight out of the mid-nineties, with all those drawstrings everywhere, and the outfit underneath was booooring too. It was nice to see Vincent not being so totally weird.

And Angela's design was amazing, I was so impressed - I don't think she could've done that in a million years without the taste and tailoring of Laura and Michael. And I'm really enjoying the collegial vibe between Michael and Laura.

Ooohh....I can read the blog and listen to the podcast at lunch too - hooray!!

[falljackets]

*whapish*

(that was supposed to be the cound of the whip crashing down on kieth)

take that, you lout! i knew it was gonna be him.

not saying anything else until the rerun airs just in case others missed it. don't wanna be a big spoiler!

[karianne]

Oooh burn! I am so glad they kicked his cheating ass off. What a jerk. Bonnie...I liked her, but her stuff really wasn't that good. The other low scoring outfit last night was awful too. Ick.

[roseviolet]

Sidecar, welcome to the evil yet tantilizing web that is Project Runway addiction! I think the blonde you're thinking of may be Allison. I really like her. She just seems like a really sweet person, you know?

HeyLady, that's hilarious!

I think I may have to avoid this thread for a few days. The next episode won't appear on You Tube until this weekend and I reeeeeeeally don't want to ruin the suprise.

I know we've all heard about Keith & his possible plagarism, but an evil side of me hopes that he doesn't get kicked off in Episode 4 simply because that feels too predictable. I want to be suprised! I want to be shocked!

And yes, Sidecar, I feel you on the love for Tim Gunn. His podcats make the show even better!
