Totally random, but I read on the bravo website that Malan grew up in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, and various US states. Couldn't that have informed a slightly unusual accent? I haven't seen any episodes, yet. Just a thought.

QUOTE(octobersky @ Jul 13 2006, 04:42 PM)  I went to school at OU in Athens and Amesville is just a stones throw from there. Hey, are you still in OH? There are several of us "Columbusties" around... -------------------- |

Yeah, I'm cheering for the Amesville designer too. I went to school at OU in Athens and Amesville is just a stones throw from there.
I was slightly annoyed and amused at the rugcoat woman when she asked the Ohio designer where she was from and when she replied Ohio - the rugcoat woman said something to the effect like - oh I've wondered what people from Ohio do there. Sheesh.  I don't think she even meant anything by saying that. I had a similar expericence with people when I was in Cape Cod last summer - "oh you're from Ohio...I didn't even know that people from there KNEW about the cape."  I mean come on, Ohio has three major large cities and lots of colleges and universities. I understand it's not New York or Chicago or Seattle, but come on Ohio's not horrid. It's not like everyone here raises livestock and tries to fornicate with family members.  |

Oh, geez, I'm embarrassed to say how much fun I had watching last night... and I loved the fur rug coat, too. And I'm sort of half-rooting for the girl from Amesville, OH - I know Amesville and I'm stunned that someone from there (truly the middle of nowhere and nothing) is in this competition. Guess it just goes to show you...

I was happy that they didn't send Vincent (basket hat man) home. He was such a wack job, and to hear how he got to that aha moment was freakin hilarious ("hmmm, well, what if we added chains to the hat?....yes! alright!")...but I can't imagine he is gonna last long with how shitty his garment looked. I almost died when they showed the look on his face when his model was walking down the runway.

I can't stand Malan, either, but I have a hunch that he'll be around until the end. Yay for us, right? His accent is terrible, he can't say anything nice about anyone else, and his eyes really bug me.
The dude who won last night so didn't deserve it. He made a dress out of fabric - big whoop. There was no innovation there whatsoever. Yeah, it looked good, but that wasn't completely what the challenge was about. I was surprised the girl who did the dress that went way out in the tits didn't get called out for it. It looked really wrong. That coffee filter dress was awesome. I would have like to see the designer be singled out for it, not just lumped in the "safe" group. I was rooting for the coat made out of the rug to win. That designer is really growing on me. -------------------- "After all those hours of concentrated effort, I come home pure as the driven snow." -Gidget

OMG, faerie - I was just coming in here to say that I think Malan and Dr. Evil are separated at birth!! That sniggering laugh with his puckered mouth - I just kept waiting for him to raise a pinky. Ugh! He is going to get under my skin for sure!
I think its going to be an interesting ride this season - so many of the designers are so experienced. And, it is SO nice to have Tim Gunn back on my TV! |

I hate Malan, too! Does anyone else think his laugh is a rip-off of Austin Powers?

UGGG I cannot stand Malan and his faux Brit accent, plus his expression looks like he just stepped in cow crap. Given his attitude, I really don't think that he will last long.
The guy that won the challenge is a bit of an ass too, but the tattoo guy I thought initially I would like him but he too seems like a prick. Guesses anyone, on who they will ask to leave this season? They kept playing that clip last night with Tim asking someone to go home...my guesses are the aformentioned |

Yeah, I believe that dude Malan's accent is very fake. He is just too much.
I thought the coffee filter dress should have won too. I can't believe how little attention it got! It makes me wonder if they didn't know what it was made of. I thought the dress they chose as the winner was nice, but very boring & safe. And the designer who did it.....Ick. What an ass. Michael Kors really needs to lay off the self tanner. |

I think this group seems really interesting, and definitely a lot more serious about it as a whole than the last two groups. I just have to say that ficticious drama is boring, and real life drama is completely uncalled for, but Project Runway is somewhere in between and exactly what I need. So excited

For all of you no-cable people, itunes sells episodes for $2. cheaper than cable, at least!
What does everyone think about the new crew? My friends and I don't think Malan (sp?) is actually British. We wanted the coffee-filter dress to win. We're also rooting for the Minneapolis girl!

I just realized today that our cable provider does NOT have Bravo. Which means I can't watch Project Runway. No Tim Gunn. Nothing!
Dammit. I hate moving to a new city. How can they not have friggin Bravo?!?!?! UGGGHHH!!! |

They're doing the audition clip show tonight, so we don't have to wait until tomorrow for our fix of Tim Gunn! I'm counting the minutes until I can be reunited with my precious Tim and Michael.

I might have to get cable so I can watch the new season. I've been a huge fan both Season 1 and 2, and now I've moved into a place without cable. I didn't care until I remembered Project Runway starts soon...

Hey everyone! I watched season one devotedly, but had no cable for season two...so am almost done watching it on DVD. I have the last disc to go, but I'm spoiled for the winner already, so I came over here to say hello.
I'm not sure if I can rustle up someone to watch season three with...not many of my friends have cable. So sad. I was reading bunches of stuff over on the Television Without Pity boards yesterday and was linked to a great interview with Tim Gunn in the Advocate. It's a few months old, but I linked it for you all just in case...I just luv, luv Tim. I'm very excited to read his blog. I found out that the dress Kara made herself and wore on the show...the jersey kimono one...is for sale on her website. I was trying to figure out if I could make one like it, but now I'm seriously considering buying one. So freakin' cute! I loved the season one and the season two groups...both were great IMO. Oh, and my friend told me Jay used to come into the Lush she worked in during season one taping and that he was very fun, friendly, and liked by all the staff there. A friend made a disparaging comment about him not having the work ethic to really make it, and that kinda pissed me off...on the other hand, I can't say I'm really up on what he's been doing, either. Must research. |

Actually, I still hold firm that nobody can beat Jay, Wendy Pepper, and Austin Scarlett from the first season. They came close with the second season, but not quite. I'm rooting for the girl from Minneapolis (yes, I've read all their bios on the Bravo website). It was kind of weird not to see Daniel Franco in the group photo.
