I was surprised as well Jasper. Before watching the show, I was sure Matthew would go but as soon as i saw the first interview with him at the beginning of the hour I said to myself "self, i bet matthew won tonight" and SIGH he did  of the three left, I hope kristi wins BTW, I would have sworn her accent was Irish - i admit I am not at all knowledgeable about accents but she just sounds Irish to me. Is that the accent for all people from Liverpool, does anyone know?

I'm disapointed in that, I really like Liz Hurley. And let's face it she is far better dressed than Kelly imo. Maybe they are hoping to attract a younger audience.

Jan what channel will Project Runway be on in ON? Life? Kristy collection was the very best. I was surprised at how disappointed they were in DEb. She truly is talented and she did do it all herself, I felt bad for her. Good good show and I can't imagine it next season with Kelli. I think I'll drop ITV an email and tell them how much I like Liz.

Jas, last season it was on Life. In fact it was same time and day as Catwalk. AS soon as Runway stopped, the very next Monday Catwalk started. I can only hope they are carrying it again this season. I just assumed they were??? This is a link to the LIFE site for Season 2 but no mention yet of the new one

Is Catwalk a Brit show? I can't find it listed anywhere (I know it's over now, but I've looked in the past)!

some comments from Tim Gunn to the Chicago tribune re season 2 finalsits: Gunn dishes on that and a host of other “Runway”-related topics below: * On why and how Chloe Dao won Season 2, the reality-TV upset of the year: “The runway deliberation went on for two hours. I was sitting with the legal department [of Bravo], and we were whispering, going `It’s Daniel [Vosovic], it’s Santino [Rice], it’s Daniel, it’s Santino.’ About an hour and 40 minutes into this, [judge] Nina [Garcia] goes into this rhapsodic soliloquy about Chloe and her collection. … It was going to Daniel, and [Nina] turned everybody around to Chloe. It was the most remarkable thing I’ve ever seen.” * On the reaction to Dao’s Season 2 win: “I was shocked. I was in a complete and total state of shock. As was she.” * On Vosovic’s shock at not winning Season 2: “I had to pick him up off the floor and resuscitate him.” * On his current assessment of Vosovic: “My darling little Dan has become a terrible diva. And it’s really unattractive. … He’s been offered several jobs. He’s turned down everything. They’re not good enough for him.”<snip> I look at Emmett McCarthy from Season 2, who’d been designing menswear for 15 years, and he did well [in the competition]. And he as a shop now in Nolita and he’s doing really well – and it’s all women’s clothes. He’s out of menswear all together. And he used the show to change his design career, and he did just that. I told him, Emmett, it’s going to take you three years to turn a profit – he already is.” Speaking of Season 2, what about Santino’s impersonation of you? “AN-dre….” [laughs] “There would be times when I would be watching Season 2 shows and I would hear my voice offscreen and I would think, is that me or Santino?” <snip> But the high profile of “Project Runway” was such that whoever won, I think you were going to get a freak show in the next round of auditions. And I have to be honest, I was not at all happy Chloe won [more on that here]. “I was shocked. I was in a complete and total state of shock. As was she.” It seemed that way. It seemed that people were just stunned. “I’ll be completely honest with you about this. I walked back from Bryant Park [where the runway shows were staged] with Bravo executives and they said, ‘So, what do you think?’ And I said, it’s got to be Daniel or Santino. There’s no way Chloe could win. But if I could pick one of the four, I’d pick Kara [Janx, who staged a decoy runway show as well], but she can’t win.’” I was really excited when I visited Santino. I was quasi-excited when I visited Daniel. And I was downright disappointed when I visited Chloe. She had two pieces and that weird William Morris fabric. There were no sketches. It was like, what are you doing? Then she arrives [in New York] with a bunch of upholstery. It was like, what is this?” “I was sitting with the Bravo legal department. We were listening to the dialogue, and can I just tell you, Debra Messing was terrific – boy, does she know clothes and how to talk about them. So we had Debra, Nina, Michael and Heidi. This runway deliberation went on for two hours. I was sitting with the legal department, and we were whispering, going ‘It’s Daniel, it’s Santino, it’s Daniel, it’s Santino.’ “About an hour and 40 minutes into this, Nina goes into this rhapsodic soliloquy about Chloe and her collection, and throws into it all of her successes during [the season], and how everything’s been memorable around. It was going to Daniel, and [Nina] turned everybody around to Chloe. It was the most remarkable thing I’ve ever seen. “The legal people turn to me, kind of with incredulity and say, ‘It’s Chloe?’ And I said, ‘I trust nothing until it comes out of Heidi’s mouth.’ And it did! And I couldn’t believe it. I simply couldn’t believe it. “I will tell you, and this goes to the integrity of the show, the producers and Bravo were in a state. And Frances Berwick, executive vice president of Bravo, could conceivably have stopped it, but she said, ‘It’s their decision.’ I just was … I kept saying, ‘How are you going to explain this to the audience? Anybody looking at that is going to think that’s crazy!’” snipped for length - lots and lots more at teh link!!!

great updates, but did you read Nick's recaps of the epidsodes??? deliciously meow!!! here's one from the jet setter show For the rest of their questionable outfits, Kayne chose to look more Elvis-meets-pageant-organizer than jet-setter, while Michael channeled Flock of Seagulls circa 1984 meets a hip-hop Hamptons look. Jeffrey went rock 'n' roll glam, while Vincent decided to go minimal. Meanwhile, Uli went on autopilot, creating a flowy, contrast-fabric dress (again!) that ended up more patchety-patch than a tablecloth at a county fair. Poor Angela looked like a drag queen who got caught at Forever 21 after-hours. It was Laura's supple draped jersey dress that I felt was the nicest choice if I were a diva on the go. On the go is where they would soon be, when they discovered they were heading first-class on a jet to Paris. One question: Why were the Richard Tyler-designed wrap dresses that the flight attendants wore better than anything the designers created for themselves? Hello! After way too much champagne and foie gras, the designers arrived at Parsons Paris to discover they had to do a walk-off to determine the winner and loser. The guest judge, designer Catherine Malandrino, and Tim Gunn then announced that Jeffrey's Scissor Sisters outfit was the best. So, Angela – who didn't even get a chance to unpack – had to get right back on that plane. This time, I am certain, she flew coach! If I produced this episode, I would have ended with a shot of Angela's now infamous rosetted butt waving au revoir to everyone. I will miss those rosettes. from the everyday woman episdoe Almost all the designers worked harmoniously with their client, except for Jeffrey. It was heart-wrenching to see Angela's mom be demeaned and insulted by the egomaniacal Jeffrey. Let me say this once: Jeffrey needs therapy and lots of it. As a son who loves his mother and respects all mothers, I was appalled. I was surprised that his cruise-hopping mom did not slap him upside his head for disrespecting Angela's mother. He's lucky that his model was not my mom, Raquel. Don't mess with a Latina: She would have kicked his pierced-and-tattooed head from Parsons to Brooklyn! http://people.aol.com/people/article/0,26334,1216026_3,00.html

regarding Keith getting kicked off Lesson 101 to all design students and future Project Runway contestants: Pay attention in your pattern and draping classes or, at the very least, freshen up on your How To Make A Dress manual before you show up to Parsons, not while you are there. Otherwise, you might face the unfortunate consequences Keith did when he was discovered with pattern-making books and find yourself humiliated on national television. Seeing Tim Gunn plant his Macy's-clad rear on the dirty floor of the boy's apartment while telling Keith he had to leave was too much to bear. And I know that Tim was none too happy when he received that phone call at midnight instructing him to get out from under those Egyptian cotton sheets, take off those silky pajamas and go kick Keith to the New York City curb..... It is unfortunate because Keith's creations so far were quite good and he was cute to boot. Those blue eyes had many viewers panting, I am sure. But he was way too cocky and self-assured. I just hope tattle-teller Kayne never runs into Keith in a dark alley because there will be a throwdown! Beaded pageant dresses will be ripped, coiffed red hair will be disheveled and all that southern charm will end up by the wayside. If anything, this should make for an exciting reunion show. regarding the Miss USA show When Miss USA 2006 Tara Conner made her grand entrance in full chiffon gown, crown and sash, I wondered to myself, "Does she walk around Manhattan like this any given day of the week?" This was after Miss Heidi instructed the remaining 14 designers that for their second challenge they had to create a dress for an "icon of American beauty." All I kept thinking was, "Cut to Kayne! Cut to Kayne! Now!!" They did, and as expected, he was shaking his head as if he had died and gone to gay heaven. In case you missed his curriculum vitae, Kayne owns a pageant dress boutique, is a pageant dress designer and follows pageants the way straight guys follow the NBA finals. It is his religion and Tara is his prophet! Needless to say, he was in tears of joy. .....Meanwhile, Vincent "My Model Has a Hat that Looks Like a UFO Made out of a Basket" got stuck with Angela "I Am an Organic Farmer Who Breeds Gowns Instead of Cows" http://people.aol.com/people/article/0,26334,1216026_7,00.html i hope ya'll were as tickled by these as i was!!
