The Official Project Runway Summer Season thread! — Page 2

Sorry to be late to the party--just watched my TiVod "Runway" last night.

Daniel IS sweetly anxious, and I'm glad to have him back--his recycled design was really elegant. If he will stop bowing and scraping (and I think he will) I'll be glad to have him around.

I didn't like Santino's baby-doll dress, although I appreciate the effort and craft that went into it. Same for his second design--not my style at all, but impressive. I cannot stand his personality, but in truth, it's not a personality contest. Clearly, they are editing him to be hateful.

I love Andrae--I even liked his breakdown. His eyes are so expressive and his method of expression so sincere.

Zulema is a total b**ch, and her response for her heinous ass-revealing dress ("I did the best I could with what I was given") should have gotten her kicked off. I wonder if they'll keep her around for racial balance; I'm surprised that there is only one African-American designer to start with.

Also loving Nick and Raymundo.

Glad that we don't have to sit through the choose-your-model drama every week--huge improvement.

It seemed that we were getting more of the judge's discussions--huge improvement too. And I don't know why, but Nina Garcia is more appealing to me this year--maybe because we're getting more insight to her thought process.

But enough about all that jazz--on to the real business of the show--Tim Gunn. *swoons* Oh my God, I am so in love with Tim Gunn. And he's so much more styling this year, with the all-black ensemble and the four-button suits. He is so dreamy....

anyone watch tonight?

spoiler....






I completely disagree with the judge's decisions (although it was absolutely humiliating with Santino)



Santino's work was so much more detailed, more thought out and better crafted, I don't see how the other guy won. The winner's barbie piece was really cute, but Santino's was just above and beyond ESPECIALLY in the mere two days they had.

I also think that the lady should have been gone in the first episode... she has little skill, and really no idea of what is appealing and fashionable. Raymundo showed promise in his first garments and should've been given a second chance, especially since he actually knew how to sew unlike that other woman....


this almost reminds me of last season with Wendy and Austin.... except Raymundo has nowhere near Austin's talent...

I was disappointed. From the previews, I expected to see the showdown between Santino and Nina this week, but I guess that doesn't happen until next week. I am all anticipation!
I also am intrigued by Santino's slam on Emmett.

I can see why they picked Nick over Santino. Santino's was beautifully made, but I think Nick's was more of a Barbie doll outfit for the teen set. The outfit that I thought was neat was Diane/Diana's, the magnet chick.

I guess the producers are encouraging the contestants to diss each other.

Back to Tim...
I am so impressed with his straightforwardness. I thought his conversation with Andre was spot on. It reminds me of his conversation with Kara Saun last season regarding her $15 designer shoes.

I really thought the woman should have gone. Raymundo had more promise than she did. Santino is obviously edited to be one of the villains this time. Last season, I think that helped Wendy get to the top three but since it was a tv show the villain would never win. With him, he could be in the top three and maybe even win on pure talent, but his arrogance will cause an issue when it is down to the last few and they have to think about who the fans of the show like best. You know that definitely comes into the play as much as not ending up with all women or gay guys or something.

i LOVE this show. tim gunn is a god. who could write a character like him? he is perfection.

nick is my favorite, but i also LOVED diana's outfit. that skirt was adorable and her use of the cut out fabric for the sleeves and hood was charming.
zulema's clothes are old lady and tired. her clothes actually resemble wendy's more than marla's. remember all of wendy's lace up dresses, etc? this is very zulema.
i think santino's dress was off for 2 reasons --the color scheme was very little-girl cotton candy cliche and the design was frou frou rather than strong and sassy. his dress was not hip enough to be barbie. emmett's dress was very barbie "groovy" and i would have scored it higher than santino's. daniel f's dress was far too sedate and mature for barbie.
i can't wait for santino to have it out with nina garcia. that should be a hoot. michael is a great reality bitch but i don't care for him as a designer.
CARRY ON.

Michael Korrs is gayer than gay. Any girlfriend he has is merely a shopping partner.

I love Tim Gunn.

This season is as good as, if not better, than last season. Such a great show. I even watch the repeats.

Didn't they say they'd be selling the winning Barbie?

Heidi seems more animated this year--but her reaction when Andrae was melting down was sort of detached amusement, which was priceless in itself. I think Chloe is the dark horse here.

I'm ready for Santino to be out. Who watched tonight?

OMG i was so praying it was gonna be santino. His talent, while larger than most on the show, doesn't match his own opinion of his talent.

*bump* for Wednsday night! In the words of RuPaul - "You Better Work!".
