Project Runway on The View:

First - Michael Kors with Heidi. Heidi's engagement ring from Seal is a huge canary diamond. Then they brought out the finalists... Jay with his Nancy O'dell design, Kara with her "Envy" competition design dress, and Wendy with her Banana Republic dress. (Wendy's streaked and psycho hair is now all brown. She looks good.) Each finalist got to discuss their designs and some of the events from the shows. They were all great~!

The View's Elisabeth appears to be a big fan of Runway and said she has seen every episode. That really seemed to help in terms of the knowledge and attention all the hosts gave them as guests.

LOL, Texannie!

Actually, she looks like she's had a facelift and a makeover. I was thinking aliens have invaded her body, or perhaps she was mugged by an angry mob and they have replaced her with a pleasant lookalike!

Tex, Heidi's baby is not Seal's child. The baby is from her previous relationship.

Wendy is saying she's a different age? She's only three years older than Karasaun!! They just LOOK 15 years apart.

She looks great on The View.

They are acting like her exact dress was worn to the Grammys..

They showed Wendy's Banana Repbulic dress, of course, and Karasaun's "Envy" winner and Jay's Grammy dress..

Don't know if there has been time but someone did a huge makeover on Wendy.. huge.

Jay looked good and Kara also looked her usual self.

Elisabeth tried to suggest that Karasaun had saboutaged him, or attempted to, when she helped him re-work the top of his outfit for the Grammys but he quashed that decisively.

Ugh.

You are right. The father is Italian race-car tycoon Flavio Briatore

I'm in the middle of watching the reunion show. They're discussing the photo incident where the photo of Wendy's daughter is drawn on. Jay is quite upset with Vanessa for suggesting that Wendy herself might have done it. I don't understand that. Wendy, in her dramatic crying scene, went on about how it was the quintessential photo of her daughter because she is dressed up and outside looking up at the sky. Actually, her daughter is obviously inside in the photo and appears to have shorts on. So I think it's valid to think it's a possibility that Wendy did it herself for a moment of drama.

I'm enjoying the reunion and the comments being made. I'm just disappointed because I had convinced myself that tonight was the finale ~ dang!

Apparently Vanessa did an interview after being eliminated and Jay is calling her on it. She apparently found the rest of the people on the show to be very untalented and it was quite negative in general.

Earlier Vanessa talked about her regret for making a comment that she was the weakest sewer. Since her elimination, she has received numerous sewing kits from people and I don't think she's finding it humorous.

Well, for all the brutal honesty aimed at Wendy, I have to say she dealt with the negativity very well. I was beginning to think that she would be the one who walks off the show. But surprise surprise, she is not. I'll wait a while longer to share that tidbit in case someone doesn't want to know until they watch.

I just want to add that I would most likely wear Kara Saun's clothes but I could watch Jay forever. I seriously wish, as someone suggested up above, that they give him his own reality show.

Oh, and Carson from QEFTSG is in the front row for one of the fashion shows next week! Can't wait to see the finale!

Hasn't started yet here and I won't look again until after in case more spoilerish info is posted (which is quite alright and up to me to avoid.. lol.. i was scrolling down one line at a time just in case)

I'm wondering if Wendy will look like she did on The View today or more like she did all season..it was a remarkable difference.

Actually what is refreshing about this particular show is that every one of them has talent. Some have more creativity, or perhaps more ability to work under pressure and to adapt to various assignments. And certainly some have more personality than others but they all have talent.

By the way, on The View they said that Wendy's dress for Banana Republic literally flew out the doors.. she said she had to beg to get one copy to save for when her daughter is older.

Wendy brought up a very good point (damn it!) when asked about her scheming and coniving. She said that the judged weren't privvy to what happened off the runway, so how could it have been 'strategy' to be mean. (of course, the sabotoging of Kevin on the runway didn't count! LOL)
I thought the whole picture thing was odd. And I still think Wendy did it on herself.

That was the best reunion show in what, forever? Austin was just killing me in his Revere-ware, lol. I rolled when Jay told him that he looked like a doily! Lots of whining and complaining from the cluster of sour grapes. The clip shows were fun too. Wendy held up decently. I think her problem is, at least as I see it, that she doesn't seem to like the fashion industry. She has a hard time with her hair, wearing makeup, wearing flattering clothes, etc. It all seems like she finds it too much hassle to look good. One can look good without it being a chore. At least someone tackled her for the wind-up of the show, lol.

I don't think Wendy marked up her own photograph of her daughter. No matter how much people don't like her, a mother isn't going to do something like that. I think it was Kevin and he just didn't have the balls to admit it. When the clip about that started he smiled and chuckled a little bit while no one else did.

I, too, thought Wendy handled herself quite well condidering the pounding she received. She didn't become some shrinking violet but she didn't lash out either. Perhaps seeing herself on the show opened her eyes.

The thing is, I think she was right about Kevin when he was project leader. His design differed from the others severely and he was the leader.

Vannessa leaving was a surprise to me. I'd love to read that interview she did that Jay was talking about.

Looking forward to the finale too.

Vanessa flips out after the cast jumps on her about her comments to Popgurls.com.
The Wendy pile-on that occurred toward the beginning of the Project Runway reunion was predictable. So was more Morgan drama: Four models showed up, but not Morgan, who, Tim said, "In order to appear, she insisted that we sign a letter stating that we would not portray her in a negative way. And to begin, for Morgan, that's a little difficult." What wasn't predictable was the cast's collective freak-out about an interview Vanessa did with Popgurls.com. Throughout the evening, Vanessa was in full-throttle mode, accusing Wendy of defacing her own daughter's photograph. Jay told Vanessa, "All night you have been so sour about this." Vanessa snapped, "Because I don't want to be here." Walking off, she added, "This is bullshit." As the reunion wrapped up, Vanessa was MIA; Tim Gunn noted that "we have a red wine stain and some broken shards of glass to remember her" (Vanessa spilled her wine off-camera all over the set).

So what is in that interview, which Vanessa tried to dismiss as simply a phone call between her and a former intern? Among other things, she body-slams Heidi, says that the producers and crew are attractive, and says producers didn't pay for their travel to New York. Here are some highlights, but read the whole thing:

"Now I think that the process is closer to having 12 profiles written out, then going out and trying to fit the people to the profiles. I don't have any proof, or whatever, and to be honest with you I don't really care. I believe that they have picked out their three qualifying people, and it has to fit America. Everything has to be planned. Nothing is spontaneous."
"I thought the talent on the show was very low. They just don't have very much experience."
"...the whole thing was so low-budget. You got the feeling that you really had to bring your own packed lunch and knapsack with you, definitely make sure you've got a mode of transport to get home, because there was no telling if anybody was really going to look after you."
"Reality TV and fashion design together is an oxymoron."
"...did you know that the Bravo producers deliberately employ incredibly good-looking guys and girls [behind the scenes]? So, the cameramen were the hottest. Guys. You have ever. Seen. Because then you're supposed to tell them all the shit. This is what one of the producers told us."
"And then stupid Heidi Klum, big old uninteresting Heidi is walking around. Do you know that the whole time we were there, she never addressed us? She never talked to us, she never asked us about our lines, our lives, who we were, made any effort to be our friend at all, nothing. ... And plus, she doesn't know anything. At all. When you see her when she's not dressed up, she's got a pair of flip-flops on, and jeans. She's not even a fashion person: she did it for her own notoriety."
"But in the beginning it was like, 'You're all invited, and we would love you to be at the premiere party,' and then, 'But we can't pay for you. We can't pay for your flight, your food, your stay, nothing.' It was very, very disappointing for all of us. ... So, you do all that stuff, and then somebody tells you, 'We can't pay for your expenses.'

She's from Houston???????? Never heard of her or her store! LOL

I went on reality TV because I'm in Houston, Texas: I got myself into a situation where I basically made a silly decision. I've set up this fantastic place, but it's in the wrong place. I've got this great house, there's a patio with a waterfall and flowers, a big studio in the back; it's a dream place. When I was 15, saying I wanted to be a designer, this would be the place I imagined. But then, it's plunked right in the wrong part of the country. So, that's why I did the show

oh, poor baby...she went on tv to rescue herself from Houston!!!!!!

I thought all the Venessa hate was misplaced and a waste of time. I guess the editors were desperate for some drama on the reunion and since Wendy didn't give it to them, they had to depend on Venessa. Since she went so early, I really could care less how the others felt about her. Of course, I haven't read the linked interview yet - maybe I will.

I too thought Wendy did well with grilling. It doesn't make me like her any better, but she didn't try to make excuses or blame it on the editing. She just took it on the chin and said she was trying to win. Plain and simple. Well done. I did feel like her answers were very well thought out - I wonder if they gave them ahead of time? Or maybe she was like the lawyer and just thought them out for 20 seconds before she spoke? Either way - she took them well and answered them well.

I thought the whole thing over the mustache was overdone. Jay acting like it was the worse thing he's ever seen was just ridiculous to me. I guess I fail to see how it is the big deal everyone is making it into. Was it rude? Sure. But in a very tiny way. It was a PHOTO that was difaced. Not the girl herself. Nor was the child slandered in any way, shape, or form. Mountain out of a mole hill to the extreme.

I would have liked to have heard more from the other designers and less of this weird negative vibe toward Venessa. They wasted so much time in the editing cut on her, I felt like some fun stuff was left out. I wanted to hear more from Nora and Starr inparticular.

Does anyone know when it was filmed? The F3's outfits seemed to match the ones they wore for their fashion week gig. So I'm guessing it was the same day. Was it just before? Just after? I think that would have colored their answers...

Just read the Vanessa interview. Other than totally slamming Heidi Klum, I didn't see much folks could take offense at unless the really were looking to be offended. I guess dissing Heidi was a bad move. LOL.
