I thought the Cotton Club was great, and I'm liking Hilfiger. He comes straight to the point and isn't blowing his own horn every chance he gets. LOL--it was so weird that the Studio 54 team lost and then Chris was bragging abut how it was all his idea. None of the rest of the team was dumb enough to argue with him. Princess' "poetry" was embarrassing, and Julie saying she didn't know how to speak to gays was beyond weird.

I don't know whether Tommy Hil is great or not...last night was the first time I watched the show. But I think he's an interesting businessman because his line has managed to be popular among middle class middle aged people in the suburbs and young urban folks alike, black, white, Latin, everything. I sorta want to see more of that--how clever he is at marketing. Because really his designs are sufficient, but they aren't *great*.... I also like that he had Andre Harrell on last night and that he apparently had Fabulous on the week before. ITA that the Cotton Club thing was great, Puzzled.

Julie's days are numbered, I couldn't believe when she said she couldn't talk to a gay person. WTF? Is Tommy gay?

Pammy, you never know, but he has a daughter and if he's still not married he was at one time.

Yes, Julie is naive but the gay guy has no sense of humor. Why not just laugh it off instead of being so offended?

Puzzled, I noticed that too. Chris' lightbulb wasn't turned on. A little info on Tommy.

Interesting, Colordeaqaua, I had no idea that Hilfiger had dabbled so much in showbiz. Alas, poor Chris, the lightbulb certainly wasn't on.}

Pamy, when people are talking about Tommy being gay, they are talking about the contestant named Tommy, who has acknowledged being gay. He went shopping with Julie for costumes, and they were very much at odds with each other.

Well, you had me worried there, Pamy, asking if Tommy was gay when I thought you meant Tommy the contestant.

Now that I have dropped all expectations I am sitting back and enjoying the bumpy ride. Little Tommy is just too young to have aquired the skill and social grace to educate Julie rather than running to take offense. She is as clueless as Princess. DeAnna, James and Shauna are stand outs at this point. I expect James to remain there but I am unsure of the others. I, too, wish they would flash the names more often, Gidget. Tommy did mention that the winner will design a line of clothing for him. How this will be accomplished remains a mystery and we may never know. We have heard nothing about Jay from Project Runway.

I think Princess is mighty lucky to have been "out-dunced" two weeks in a row. I also think Tommy H. should notice if someone keeps getting sent "away"; perhaps they aren't desirable on a team. What's with the fur coats? ACK! Or is he known for using fur? I pretty much only know him for his color scheme and he once contributed the design for a t-shirt that was part of an AIDS prize for a donation, so that was my only known Tommy Hilfiger item. I suspect that when he seems expressionless it might be due to botox?

I looked for Botox last week. He has some pretty heavy furrows on his forehead, but I didn't think to check his mouth area.

It may not show so much as to just immobilize his face a bit .. and who knows who deep those furrows were BT? I only thought about it because of the lack of expression.

Some people just never learn. Tommy's team lost, but he took credit for all the "technical" work. Good-bye Tommy.

I was glad to see Tommy go. He spent a little too much time telling us how great he was and not a whole lot of time demonstrating it. Also didn't get his comment about Chris last night...when Chris got back from the party and was asking for something to do. Tommy said something about Chris just being worried about what Tommy might say at Style council about Chris's performance on the project. Didn't make sense to me, because the people who go to the social events get judged on that, not on the project. Chris didn't have anything to worry about, whether he helped with the dress or not. So, I wondered if Tommy understood that part of the game. And his comments after he was eliminated...that TH was going to realize what happened was a "travesty". TH chose to eliminate him based on his shoddy workmanship, I do not believe travesty applies. I just hope Jeff follows Tommy soon. The moment he said that if he doesn't win, we all lose, I just knew his ego was entirely too big for me to want him to win!

I am really enjoying this. I cannot understnd why more people aren't watching. It is far better that Trump's show (which always seems all about Trump) and the contestants are more interesting. Also I do like Tommy H.

Agree, Kittystj. It's really not a bad show and infinitely more pleasant watching Hilfiger than Trump. With Hilfiger, there is no gag reaction when the "star" of the show comes onscreen. They sure did edit Tommy the contestant as a nasty little curmudgeon last night. Betcha he puckered up quite a bit while watching what they chose to air. I was glad to see him go, even though I thought he probably had promise as a designer.

I watched the first episode and wasn't very impressed but then tuned in last night and enjoyed it more - probably because they were actually designing clothes which is what I expected from the beginning. But then one thing that has surprised me about this show from the beginning is how few are actually clothing designers to begin with. Is TH looking more for a 'think-tank' type of personality to shake up his in-house designers? I originally wanted to root for the one older guy (don't remember his name) but now, after watching twice, ayee that guy is clueless. He reminds of someone who's lived in one too many communes and tries to bring that mentality back to the city where it just doesn't work. I can't believe he's still there. At least Tommy could sew, lol.

I don't understand ... I thought the winner would design a line for Tommy H. Why is it that very few have designed clothes?

I like how TH makes them select teams each week. Tommy the contestant seemed to have a touching fettish. He even flinched when some feathers fell on him. I wonder what TH thinks of the casting director as this could be a good show if they had people on it who wanted to be in the trade.

Did anyone else think it was odd that the gal (don't remember the name) that went to the cocktail party wore her coat the whole time? She went shopping for the spiffy dress and then walked around with it covered up.

This show lacks a vision, organization or mission statement. We don't know the job description of the winner. Hilfger had no training in fashion design when he began so the fact none are designers makes some sense. In the opening episode he stated the contestants will be living his life in fast forward. We saw Princess in the pit for not micro managing Tommy but no criteria has been established for leadership. She was not praised for stepping up and creating the pattern despite the failure of Tommy to follow the direction. Jessica was in the pit for not contributing to the creative process as the three, who did nothing, stood safely behind her. She got the model and did hair and make up. Someone had to do this. In any team effort there is business to accomplish. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't in this show. If Princess' creation had gone as planned and won over Liz's more simple creation would Liz have been fired even though she created a perfectly nice dress? Why bother stepping up and putting yourself on the line? I have no clue what Hilfiger is seeking. I doubt he is gay. No self respecting homosexual dresses like that.
