The Official Project Runway Summer Season thread! — Page 51

Dottie - re: the mind games - seems like it worked! They were all definitely agitated by this twist (and rightfully so). It was fun when Laura called Angela out to remind her that the challenge she won was actually a team challenge...And she's right. I bet Laura and Michael had as much to do with the final design. Imagine if Laura and Michael weren't there to edit? We might have had a pair of trousers made completely out of fleurchon, with a bubble skirt overlay.

I adored Laura's dress, but then, I adore Laura in general. I think this was a well-deserved win for her. She took the judges' comments to heart, had a little meltdown (fair enough), then brushed herself off, moved on from it, and worked hard to make an absolutely stunning garment. If I were tall and built like a Q-tip, I would wear that dress in a heartbeat!

Michael can do no wrong - this guy has got to be the nicest fellow on the show. Even when he had a bad week (couture) he admitted it. He's humble - realizes his shortcomings, but doesn't apologize for his talent either. And I think he really listens to Tim Gunn. He take constructive criticism well, and "makes it work." Not to mention, he is a very talented designer and his styling is always spot on.

Miss Kayne - oh Miss Kayne! I would have preferred to see the Neck get the boot, but I think it was Kayne's time. The front of the dress was really nice. The back looked trashy to me.

Uli - Uli is a one trick pony. I really like everything she puts together - it's always so pretty and fresh, but she needs to mix it up or she's going to be in trouble! When she was showing the dress to Tim Gunn, I thought it was strapless, and it was cute with the little frog closure. But then I saw those sleeves. Didn't dig 'em. I hope she stays next week, but I think she may be on thin ice.

Jeffrey - Don't even get me going on this ensemble. Atrocious. He's another one-trick pony (hohum, another Holla-back outfit...la de da) but his stuff isn't usually pretty. The only challenge I think Jeffrey should have won was the garbage challenge. Other than that, I haven't been overly impressed.

Angela and Vincent - Anglea's just strange. That outfit was just ugly. Vincent's could have been pretty - think summer garden party - if it were longer and it fit his model. I have to give him some mercy since Jia is a Q-tip, and Jarvi is a little more curvy, so it didn't really fit. If that dress were longer, and didn't have the cape - with the right styling choices it could have been kind of pretty. The black eyelet was interesting.

And Angela shoving fabric scraps into the box purse (which doesn't need fabric to fluff it up!) was classic funny.

I'm sticking by my favorite top three - Uli, Laura, Michael. I think Michael definitely has a spot. Either of the girls could potentially be ousted by the Neck, which makes me want to vomit.

They didn't share much on next week's challenge. I wonder what it will be?

Lame stunt is definitely what it was.

Alison never won a challenge, tho she should have won the doggie challenge, and came close a couple of other times. She definitely should not have left in the first place. VERY talented young lady.
Bradley never won, and I believe he was kicked off the show on his birthday.
Robert lost for the Maria dress the first week to Keith.

Doodle, I think Bradley pulled out that Daniel knock-off (the dog challenge, I believe) the day of his birthday and he was not eliminated. I can't remember which challenge he got eliminated on though.

---

I can't figure out how/why Bradley was on the show in the first place. He was just plain odd.

arggghhhh...i accidentally clicked the send button.

"The Demented Duo" - that is great! I also laughed when Laura called them "The Olson Twins". The best!

It was nice to see Laura finally win, though I think she won simply because she had never won before. She always does very good work, but it's always just sort of okay for me.

I was glad to see Kayne go. He did some great work in the beginning, but his stuff just got progressively uglier and more bizzare.

I'm really rooting for Jeffrey - he is my favorite, and has been since the beginning. I think he's really fvcking good.

I think Michael is talented as well, but I don't think he should win. He falls into the same category as Laura for me.

And thank God Vincent is finally gone - he should have been eliminated the very first episode. And second. And third. And fourth. I have no idea why they kept him around for as long as they did - his designs were just as obnoxious and bizarre as he was.

I really like Ulli, but she's just keeps doing the same thing over and over. So talented, but I don't think she'll pull through.


As much as I love Jeffrey and he's my choice to win, I think the final two will be Laura and Michael. If that's the case, then I hope Laura wins.

Javero-The answer is PR is a show.

cheezedoodle... isn't the runway show tomorrow morning? or am i mistaken

The final four all show anyway as a decoy, don't they? Their inclusion just isn't broadcast on the show. Austin Scarlett and Kara Janx both showed at Bryant Park for that reason.

Kara's was, surprisingly, VERY cool! Saw it online last season. Wish I could've seen what Austin dreamed up. He disturbed me b/c he looked like the Church Lady but I loved his work. He's a designer for Amsale's luxury bridal gown line now, which is a good fit for him.

cheezedoodle, I am pretty sure the Olsen Twins remark was in reference to the judges' demand that Laura design something more youthful and less staid (and therefore more likely to be worn by said twins), not to Angela and Vincent. Of all the insulting things I can think of to call Angela and Vincent, "Olsen twins" is not anywhere near the top of the list. I'd call Vincent "Ryan O'Neal with crazy crack eyes and TMJ" way sooner, for example.
