I am thinking it maybe played better. Jay has such interesting tonations to his words.

Texannie, I agree that it probably played better. In the absence of voice inflection and facial expression we can't get the flavor of this interview. I adore Jay and though he can be pesky he reads as adorable imp. He was able to hate Wendy though the entire show and present that with no contention. Talking to the camera saying "I hate Wendy, I'm sorry" and fanning his face was a prime example. I adore this man.

But the question du jour is.. will investors adore this man, or at least be willing to deal with this man while bankrolling this man? I say, probably, yes. But it won't be fun for them. And Donny sounded completely incoherent in print.

Sea- I think people will bankroll this man just because of the tv show. People who want or think they can attach themselves somewhere in showbiz i think will pay anything As I said before I would watch a Jay & Austin show. I admired him for being stuck with Wendy and Kara, but trying to be sociable with Wendy. And for my 2 cents Kara was wrong about the shoes.

Gotta' agree, Lurkin. Kara was certainly spinning things with those shoes. Had she acted throughout the entire season as we saw her acting on the finale, she would not have been one of my favorites! Maybe they were able to edit out this kind of behavior earlier, or maybe she let being in the final 3 go to her head -- but she was downright childish, annoying AND unethical on that last show. LOVE Jay! Hope we see him again.

Well I agree with all of you.. Jay is potentially marketable and he'll get backing, but I'm sticking with that it won't be all that fun for the money folks and that he'll need some babysitting for his interactions with the .. well not so much with the public but with the industry.. because he can be irreverent for a time but as Heidi pointed out ad nauseum one day your in and the next you're out! I'd rather be his drinking buddy/friend than someone who had to manage him. I agree about the shoes and Kara.. but find that the whole ISSUE of shoes was pretty darn murky.. the shoe/accessory issues were unrelated. Wendy: Typical of Wendy, since apparently this issue wasn't addressed in a rule or by Tim, she just "forgot". So without last minute scrambling for deep discounts AND help from Michael Kors, she would have been toast. Well, she was toast anyway. Jay: He DID think about it. He planned for it. Shoes and headphones, which he sprayed himself. Good for him. It did get him the criticism of being dyed to match but in this case (because of his own collection, because one of his competitors was clearly unworthy and the other competitor had the cloud of having to say "disregard the shoes") it was ok. And the good thing.. he planned for it. Kara: She also planned for it. But she didn't budget for it. She should have negotiated early for a price that satisfied TPTB. I think she could have argued that while there would be labor and import fees that since she designed the footwear that part of the value shouldn't count since none of them had to include their own the labor.. anyway her shoes and boots were wonderful and since she didn't win, at least the "public" saw what she could envision and create. Her planning and design were good things but her budget had to include them and it didn't. Michael Kors: I absolutely don't think one of the judges should be involved in any way in supporting the contestants. I'm sure they could have gotten other donations. Dang.. I miss this show already!! It has caught my imagination and delighted me in ways that hasn't happened for a reality show since The Mole or the early TAR seasons.

Was it ever explained about absentee husband of Wendy's , granted she was a big embarassment and I may not want to be seen on tv with her. but I looked once and didnt see a wedding ring. Was a husband ever mentioned in finale or was she just a mom? hmm And I wanted to mention one of my favorite parts of the season was seeing what Austins hair and makeup would look like at the ending I swear he must have spent more time in the Loreal room than the models. I agree I really miss this show and thought It wold not interst me and didnt watch til a marathon on a bored day

Yes they mentioned her husband and said she was supported by her mother.. picture of mother and mohter seen on the show.. and her daughter.. picture of daughter and we see daughter on the show and husband.. NO picture, NO husband on show. Hmmmm. At least Jay and Kara had completely proud families. (would have loved to have seen Austin's family)

I saw it posted somewhere else that her husband is a woodworker by trade and very proud of Wendy. He decided not to be part of the show, because he didn't want detract from the attention. He apparently provided a "happy" picture of himself and Wendy. He didn't participate because he wanted Wendy to be the center of attention.

My friends absolutely refuse to call her "Wendy." They call her, and insist that I call her, "Wendy Pepper." The verb "to be a Wendy Pepper" has now entered our vocabulary as someone who is whiny, kvetchy, uncooperative, or terribly unpleasant. I have been told TWICE in the past week, "Oh knock it off! You're being such a Wendy Pepper!" When we go out, though, "Wendy Pepper" is an adjective used to describe someone who wears "mom jeans" or has little fashion sense. "Oh. My. Gawd. She is. So. Wendy. Pepper!"

You'd definitely be making fun of me then -- "mom jeans" are a necessity after children. However, found out today in a "stress relaxation" unit w/ my seniors that I'm more limber than 75% of my 18 yr. old students! LOL Who needs the jeans??? (And Wendy actually looked MUCH better that last night -- kinda' like putting velvet on a donkey -- but she spiffed up from the earlier shows!)

She did spiff up but she was the only one of the entire bunch that had no natural sense of style about her. So she doesn't fit the expectation, but if her work had soared, that would not be a huge problem. === I've been thinking of some of the criticism of Karasaun.. "so Gucci".. blah blah.. So today in my paper they have an article about how fur is "in" in fashion now and they show four examples by different designers.. the biggest picture is of a design by MICHAEL KORS.. as shows at that same show in NY! Model wearing a helmet-like beanie with glasses propped up on the beanie.. oh, sort of possibly inspired by The Aviator.. so maybe our judge didn't want Karasaun to have used some of the same materials and inspirations (which she probably wouldn't have lifted from him, but come up with at the same time). Just made me smile a little about the judging (and, Parker Posey?)

Misty, see Oprah's makeover; the "mom jeans" moniker comes from a skit on SNL that pretty well describes the phenomenon. OMG there are too many Google entries to go through and pick out the best ones!

Try to keep yourself away from it! Wendy Pepper has her own website! Why, Wendy Pepper says her "shop is the culmination of a life's dedication to the pursuit and practice of the age old craft of Haute Couture." This surely surprises those of us who watched you on Project Runway, Wendy Pepper! She continues: "Fashion is a career that chooses you, and you are well advised to heed the siren's call!" Yes indeedy, Wendy Pepper! Yes indeedly-doo! Here is the picture Wendy Pepper chose to feature of herself on her site. I think Wendy Pepper has looked better than this on several occasions.

What I want to know is, how stoned was Ms. Posey? Gawker and Cityrag catch her out often and she's usually out of it and paranoid looking. I noticed they edited her out except where they had to include her, lol.

Jay has a stalker already! From Page Six: March 6, 2005 -- JAY McCarroll - who was a nobody in small-town Pennsylvania before he won "Project Runway" - not only has stalkers, he has an imposter, Jake, who pretends to be McCarroll to get into parties. New York Magazine quotes McCarroll as saying: "I met him at the Marc Jacobs after-party. It was awful. I was looking at this person who thinks they look like me and I'm horrified because I do, apparently, look like that.

LOL I only saw last few eps and never saw what Wendy did that was so bad, so I was rooting for her! Now I will have to read this whole thread to find out what was so bad about her LOL
