The Official Project Runway Summer Season thread! — Page 20

I like Ivanka, too. I liked her when she stepped in to sub on The Apprentice, and I was pretty impressed with her when she was profiled in Jamie Johnson's documentary Born Rich. She's smart, driven and has a very good head on her shoulders. She was one of the only ones I had respect for after watching the profiles.

In terms of Nina being more supportive of the designers, not sure. I think she isn't afraid to compliment someone when she is genuinely impressed. I like Nina. I think she's just flat-out honest. Keith deserved all of her ire last night for not designing anything for the dog. Just do the freakin' assignment, jackass! What was so complicated? I also got a kick out of how Heidi went all Cagney and Lacey on his ass with her detective work--jumping up to investigate the collar. lol. "Let me see that! You didn't make this at all! It's a bracelet!"

Vera Wang is boring to me and I wish Michael would come back. I miss his bitchy little quips! Remember when Santino used to impersonate him? "It looks like a baboon's ass exploded on her backside!"

Regarding the Kayne-Laura thingy... I just read an interview the other day where Kayne mentioned his relationships with some of the other contestants, and he said he had "difficulty" with Laura. So when I watched last night and heard her comment, I thought, uh-oh. (Of course, she may have been giving as good as she gets, LOL.)

I have to check their website and see if Tim's blog is up yet.

Doodle, I like the designs of this year's contestants (with the exception of Angela).

I'm listening to Tim's pod cast right now, and his disdain for Angela is very obvious.

---

I hated her the minute she started hounding Kayne to team up with her instead of designing a freaking dress! I loved the look on Miss USAs face when she said she didnt do sketches.

---

I didn't understand how Bradley's poofy outfit got such a positive response, either. Then again, I didn't understand why everyone loved Daniel's poofy outfit (inspired by a flower in Michael Kors' reception area) either.

---

I could have DIED when Katherine got cut. I mean, yes, her dress was TOTALLY last-season Express, but still...

However, what we all need to bear in mind is that this IS a reality show, and it has been cast very specifically...Angela is by FAR the worst designer on the show and does not deserve to be there in that respect, BUT she fills a very specific role, and they can't get rid of her until they absolutely HAVE to, because right now, she is the focus of EVERYONE's distaste/dislike/ire, and they (the producers) like/want/need it that way.

That said, I want to have Robert's baby. LOOK at that man's biceps! (Even if he IS a BIG OL' GIRL, he's still cute.)

---

I absolutely agree. His whining actually makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I cannot STAND the way he phrases everything in that soft-voiced, poor-me victim timbre...he is SUCH a wet noodle.

"It was the nightmare of my life"...I mean, did you not just want to take a carpet needle and thread his EYEBALL???

---

If you listen to Tim Gunn's podcast, 2 weeks in a row, he has accidentally called Angela "Alison", especially annoying this week because Alison's poodle design was amazing and Angela's ill-conceived bubble slirt ensemble was almost kicked off...

Tim...stop it!Alison good/Angela bad.

My faves so far are Ulli, Michael & Laura!

Temporary threadjack. I've been trying to post that Kathy Griffin is on The View today, but can't find my post.

I KNOW...Vincent did it, too!

I mean, come ON, people: Alison = stunning, sweet, super designer; Angela = drab, abrasive, irritating, my dead grandma sews better.

Alison and Angela might be alliterative, but it's not THAT HARD, guys!

Like she said: Alison, good/Angela, VERY VERY BAD.

---

I'm inclined to agree with you. However, I don't think that the producers thought she could provide enough interpersonal drama. She genuinely wanted to learn, to do good work, to be a great designer, and not to get involved in anybody's negativity...while that all spells out a WONDERFUL and lengthy career ahead of her, it makes for DREADFULLY dull television.

---

And her chin ring made me itch.

She was the Diana of this season....but duller.
