LOL Darrellh! I had a flashback of Surya Bonaly's eye makeup too when I saw Zulema! The Tootie reference went over my head. I don't remember the exchange you are talking about. But now that darn Facts of Life song is going through my head. Gee thanks! LOL.

I have no clue how to post a spoiler window and there is no formating tab at the top. We used to have one. Anyway. Email me if you would like to know who wins and who goes tonight. There is a glitch on the Bravo website, a saavy poster discovered. Apparently Tim posts his blog ahead of time and gets it ready to post. A poster from another board figured out to just change the episode # in the addy and he got the blog for tonight. It is not available now. They discovered the error.

Consider yourself lucky, Whoami, that you missed that gem of a discussion. It was when the blonde judge was criticizing Emmett's design's skirt for exposing "too much tootie". If ever there was a time for Santino to say something inappropriate to the panel, that was it. I'd have passed out from laughing if he had interrupted to say "too much what?!" in an incredulous voice. I mean, geez, it's not like I try to fit the word crotch into my everyday conversation but I didn't know we had to whisper it in shame either. Oh I never liked The Facts of Life theme song either. So annoying but darn infectious. It can really worm its way into your brain until you're begging for mercy. Surya was the French skater who did illegal backflips, right? I used to love figure skating but the whole Tonya Harding fiasco and subsequent media overkill burned me out on it. I'll still watch the Olympics though. I just love the board's spoiler feature. While I avoid reading them, at least this way people who like to knew advance news can post info without arguments breaking out. Works great for everyone.

Ah, from first to worst in a matter of hours. Normally I would write, Poor Zulema, however, not tonight. While I think Kara's dress was rather "eh", you knew Zulema was hitting the bricks because, well, the storyline demanded it. (And hey, after pinching Nick's model you wanted her to be taken down a peg or two.) I didn't disagree with Zulema being out; I didn't think her dress was all that and apparently, she's not so good at "finishing" her projects (Hard to tell from tv.) I'm sure Nick wasn't too disappointed. Heh. I could just hear Nick say, Hey, karma! While I did like Daniel's dress and see why he won, I absolutely loved, LOVED, Andrae's dress. Beyond just the inspiration (gutter water), the execution and the color, it looked like so much more than $100 dollars. It was beautiful, truly beautiful. I thought Nick's dress was ok but nothing special; I think he was thrown off his game by the loss of his model. Chloe's dress was very pretty as well. And Santino. I'm just not getting him. At least he didn't over adorn his outfit. But I had to laugh at Jay pointing out the fact his fabric wasn't so original afterall (Austin used it as a grammy dress.) Is there really talen there? I didn't think this dress was all that and a bag of chips. That high waist was fugly and I didn't like the weird white straps that were asymetrical. He really needs to step it up a bit, imo. Good show tonight; but I was hoping for more from Jay. (Speaking of, there's a show called Project Jay coming in February. Should be interesting.)

Chloe- Her dress was not all that pretty. It was kind of odd and certainly did not resemble the building. The judges liked it because they like her. Andrae- Excellent. I like him. His outburst on the first show must have been forced, as Gunn suspected, since we have seen no further indication of this behavior. He is one of my favorites. His facial expressions are delightful. Jay liked him too. Daniel- Sweet man and stunning outfit. I don't get the praise for a brilliant inspiration piece though. A flower seems like a very common starting point. Kara- Oh that was not good. I can't remember one other piece she has made. Though very sweet she is forgettable. Zulema- Her inspiration piece was terrible and not what they intended. It revealed her lack of creativity. I wonder if she would have done a little better had she not taken Nicks model. It was within the rules to change models, certainly, but only served to create tension and alienate her peers. She was considering the model of the loser anyway; why not just take her and maintain the healthy work atmosphere? Her ice skating costume won by default. It will be barely recognizable when we see it reproduced on the skater. Santino- I am begining to lose faith in his talent. He doesn't get a womans waistline. I thought the skating outfit was just a huge mistake in that area but now I think his regrets were about the back trim and not the odd waistline. As far a choosing the same fabric as Austin, I am sure he did not remember. Give this show 4 seasons and where are you if that is a consideration? Nick- His skirt did not match the top. I loved the judges comment about fish tail hems. I don't like them but never did. He was off his game from losing his muse. He will do better next time. Michael Kors- His Doris Duke line, from what we saw, could it be more boring? Jay- Good to see him again! I am looking forward to his special on Feb 22. Tara- The only way for her to stay is for Nick to win but it appeared he has moved on to accept Rachael as his "new muse". Tara is my favorite so I would like Nick to take her back.

I was confident that we would see Santino in the final 3 at fashion week. I am not so sure anymore. I think Bravo wants him there because it promises to be a dull finale otherwise. Unless Gunn can give him some council on waistlines, so he can have a win or two, he will not be a credible choice. Santino does not understand a womans body. He was ashamed of his skating dress but I think that was all about overdoing the adornments and not the peculiar waistline. Like him or not it would be interesting to see what he creates without restrictions.

Fruit, I feel the same way about Santino's understanding of a woman's body. His first 2 outfits looked great on his model, but nothing since then really has. Prior to last night's show, I was thinking that I'd like to see him do something that was longer, not the babydoll-type dresses he's been doing (even the skating costume, had a babydoll feel to me). But, I was disappointed in his longer dress. The waistline was terrible. Funny, because I thought his graffiti inspiration could have resulted in something beautiful. It was great that he seemed to be learning from the judges criticisms. He was almost cute with his eagerness to point out to the judges that he hadn't overembellished. I honestly can't decide if I like him, though. He was very likeable last night and he seems like a fun and funny guy. So, I want very much to like him. But any time I think "Hey, I might just like this Santino guy", they show him doing or saying something that makes me go right back to not liking him.

Loved Santino's Tim Gunn impression! At first I actually was confused about where Tim's voice was coming from. But perhaps Santino should only design maternity clothes! He keeps wanting to do that high waist that is so unflattering on a not-pregnant woman.

I think Santino may have actually realized he came within a whisker of getting Aufweder-schnizteled. Sometimes people expect the world to bend to their way of thinking, rather than trying to make their way work with what the world wants. Someone may have received a dose of reality.

Santino's dress was hideous. Didn't like Chloe's dress either. The black jersey was ok but I guess lacked imagination. Nick's skirt was awful. Liked Andrae and Daniel's dresses. I liked Zulema but she choked last night.

I finally watched last night's episode, which I had to miss for tennis! Hee! I really loved Andrae's dress, too. Very nice lines, very clever piece. I thought Nick's dress was horrible: his stuff has a sameness about it that is distracting, too. Always with the bias cut and not liking at all new. It feels very much like design for the Premarin crowd. I did not enjoy Daniel's piece. The shape of the top was too contrived, but I suppose that is why we put flowers in out hair or on tables instead of around our waists to cover our bosoms. Kara's. Nada. Zulema's. Less than nada. I didn't respond to Santino's fabric when Austin used it last season, and I didn't respond to it again last night. And I hate to think of Santino's designs, which are usually fresh and inventive even when they aren't successful, alongside the hackneyed schlocky, schamtte Austin turned out week after week last season.

I know this is going to seem way OT, but Santino's designs remind me of an over the top omelette...I'll Explain. A guy I knew once made an omelette for me as a late night supper. He put every darn spice and herb on the planet in that omelette, I swear. I couldn't eat it, it was awful. He thought it was just right. Santino always puts too much spice, too many ingredients in his designs. The first time I saw him do it, I thought, "It's just like that omelette that guy made for me, too many ingredients spoil a good basic recipe."

If there is a third season, perhaps they ought to consider giving the designers a little more time to complete the challenges because I'm getting tired of unfinished pieces and variations of the same type of outfit over and over again. Hmm, will there be a sleeveless dress, do you think? Or maybe it's just this group of designers who are struggling with time (although that was an issue last season too) and originality. I liked Andrae's design the best. The trim details could have been better but overall it was really beautiful and "inspired"! Daniel V's was clever and artistic however to me, that top is neither flattering nor practical to wear in real life although as a "costume", it's very striking. I did think Chloe's dress was pretty but I wish she'd make something a little more daring and bold. She's clearly capable of that - I looked at her portfolio on the Bravo site and those outfits were quite gorgeous! I think Kara deserves to last longer than Santino because at least her clothes appear to be well-made and finished.

I think this is a bit unfair, just like Idol can be unfair. Most designers are not putting their collections together the night before a show. The designers true talent can't be fully shown with these time restraints. In Idol, people are asked to sing Big Band, when you and I know, they will only be singing country music once they get a career going.
