The Official Project Runway Summer Season thread! — Page 8

Man - I have to catch the rerun again! I had rehersal last night and missed it!

---

Iffie, to me the joy of the show is the interaction (good and bad) of creative people and the process. Not so much the final dress.

Oh, I agree. I'm just surprised that I ever took the time to watch it in the first place. And what a loss *that* would have been.

They've done a magnificent job of illuminating each person's personality and how they think. And they've even avoided the temptation to pigeonhole anyone. Even Santino has moments of likeability. And even Andrae, after starting off as a charicature, of sorts, really developed into someone I understood and cared about.

---

Am I correct in hearing Santino say in a clip that he'd better win this one so that he'd be immune next week and can do anything to outrage the judges he wanted? Yes, I'm right and wouldn't you think that he did his best work whatsoever with the garden party? Well, if that's the best he can do, he's out of there. I agreed with the door mat dress, loved Chloe's for the workmanship but not for overall appearance-it worked, but I preferred the more obvious garden party ones. can't remember who did what now, but I loved the one that was the winner-the one that incorporated flowers, right? Well, the colors on that dress blew me away. I just loved the fuscia and purple against the green! I also loved the ones that had the basket weaving effect on the bodice. One of them had it in the back and the other in the front.

I have to hand it to these designers-it wasn't easy making dresses from plants and so many of them were good!

i agree that this episode came a little late in the contest, seems like a beginning challenge (like the grocery store last season).

but i loved, loved, loved daniel v., chloe, and kara's dresses -very swank (but the leaf skullcap on chloe's model, ick). nick and andrae, what happened?

there's no model drama this season like there was last year with morgan the maniac model, she was classic trash.

so predix on the Final 3? i think Daniel V (definitely!), Nick, Chloe? (Santino has to get eliminated next challenge)

---

How about that coming out story? I thought that was a great touch and glad it was kept in.

---

I actually loved Austin's cornhusker dress. It's probably been my favorite through the entire series.

And I'm kinda hating Nick right now. Lose the Hilton speeches!

I really thought it was Kara Janx leaving this time, but guess not.

Did anyone watch Andrea on the Today Show? I slept in.

I don't see a reason for Santino to remain any longer. He hasn't really put out a decent thing since the first one (that must have been a fluke) and his attitude is tired. At least Nick has some modicum of talent.

---

I agree HT - Nick has even said out loud in the workroom he no longer wants to be there. I can't wait to see who and how Santino gets made over.

---

Andrae's garden dress was a fluke. It was bad. But everything else he did was quite nice. I think there are less talented designers in the pack. He should still be there.

Overall, I actually liked Andrae, Kara and Daniel V. the best. Now that Andrae is out, I think Daniel V., Kara will make it to the final three, and the last of the final three is going to be a draw.

Santino's problem is that he is inconsistent. Some stuff is wonderful, other stuff is downright weird.

My only issue with Nick is that he uses the SAME neckline in every garment - otherwise, he is OK, except sometimes things are a bit 80s-inspired for my taste. I loved his Barbie dress, though.

Chloe's stuff is very "pretty" and girly which is more mainstream, but different from what we usually see on this show. Some stuff borders on "seen it before." Although she does a good job making sure her designs fit the model. Her stuff is very clean and finished.

The way I see it - Santino will be out this week. He still does his own thing, and they (the judges)have called him on it time and again. Dan has Immunity, so I think the final three will be Nick, Chloe and Dan.

---

I agree and hope we're right. Santino had his last chance to prove himself last week and he even said he's going to put out something great so that he'd have the immunity and look what he put out as his best! that varnished plant arrangement.
