Oh I love Tim Gunn; the show is much more fun, for me, to watch because he's on it. I couldn't imagine anyone else on the show in his role. I wonder what prompted the producers et al. to throw in the 13th outfit? To test how they handle pressure? See what they come up with on the fly and how well it fits into the collection? Interesting choice. I'm curious to see what each comes up with. The collections (what we saw of them) of each of the designers look quite interesting. I was surprised at how much Tim liked Chloe's; I wasn't all that impressed with hers in the pictures. Santino's was ok; I'm just not fond of his designs nor his design style. Daniel's I liked a lot so I was surprised at Tim's response; especially considering his earlier reactions at Daniel's apartment. Is he getting the winning edit? Hmmm. One thing struck me, however, and that was Santino's admission that he's really quite insecure despite his arrogance. As Jhezzie commented, I'm not surprised. But what irks me about Santino and his behavior is how he has to tear others down; seems as though he does it in order to make himself feel better (because of his insecurities.) He was definitely more subdued this episode, yet there still was the comment about Chloe's collection and a couch. Until he is able to get past this type of behavior, he'll never earn any respect, imo. Can't wait until next week for the final runway. I wish it had been a two hour eppy like last season. Oh well...just seven days to go. LOL! ETA: Oh, and CARRY ON! Hahaha!

ITA Jhezzie, I think they were doing the "faked you out" edit and Daniel will be the winner. But from what I could see I think I am going to like Santino's collection best. I am looking forward to the runway show!!

And now this: .... Project Runway," which runs on Bravo, found its audience despite the failure of other behind-the-scenes fashion reality shows like "The Cut," Tommy Hilfiger's big-budget flop on CBS. "Runway" is Bravo's biggest hit, consistently winning high ratings for a cable show among prized 18-to-49-year-olds. .... Such is the power of the show that even the lifeless host, Heidi Klum, who was once described by a former modeling agent as having "the personality of a German sausage," has become a celebrity, right down to her signature kiss-off, "auf wiedersehen" (because, as we know, German is the language of high fashion). So too have the expert judges, the designer Michael Kors, with his ever-ready quip ("It looks like a 'Golden Girls' outfit that you belt and wear with leggings"), and Nina Garcia, the fashion director of Elle magazine, whose comments are usually limited to the technicalities of garment construction ("That hemline is uneven"). ..... The biggest surprise is that the breakout personality is the show's least flamboyant or neurasthenic: Tim Gunn, the affable chairman of the fashion design department at the Parsons School, who like a father hen guides contestants through their weekly challenge. With his top-drawer drawl, Banana Republic blazers and one-liners — "Make it work" — Mr. Gunn has turned into an unlikely heartthrob..... link

I love Tim Gunn too!! I was thinking about the 13 outfit, and I think its a great idea...since they have like two months to make their collection...who is to say that they didnt have a LOT of help?? I dont think they have anyone checking that, so this last outfit will kind of show if it fits with the theme and style of the rest of the collection....also...when was fasion week?/ Im trying to figure out how they could have filmed the entire series, and then the last three could have watched it on tv before the fasion week finale episodes were filmed...

after watching this episode and then going back and looking at the pictures of the collections. i like more of santino's collection than i originally thought, i still liked the same pieces of daniel's (wasn't impressed with his "details" except on the coat), and a couple of chloe's dresses. i was trying to figure out which was the "13th" outfit, and couldn't. --make it work-- --carry on--

I would like the show to give Heidi the Auf Wiener Schnitzel and have Tim Host the show along with what he does now. I don't like though how Tim critics the designs between judging he makes a huge impact and they redo designs sometimes. I personally think producers were hoping for more snipping and like last year and Santino just wasnt an evil Pepper I had to agree that the handles on Dan's bags looked like shop class . Sanded and polished up they would have looked good

I think of Tim Gunn as the caring one on this show. He has such tenderness with these designers, he criticizes, but to help them and not just to make a point. He keeps things level, but it would be ruined if he particpated in the judging because then no one could trust him behind the scenes. That trust is integral to the show, to take off the hard edge of the designers having to produce under stress. I love his blogs and pod casts, but these videos that appeared this week - who edited them? I have questions with the videos as following 1. What was Tim about to say about Zulema after her cut? Tim Gunn Day 1 2. Daniel and Santino - an item -Ew, Ew, EW, did I hear right? Ghetto video 3. Zulema has no comment on her videos? what is her problem? Designer videos - any one. 4. If the show was filmed in 4 weeks - when did they film the one when Kara gets cut? if she appeared in fashion week, was she cut already? I thought the premeire show was filmed before fashion week and the dress was to be worn at the premeire party. The whole logistics of this show drives me crazy. I took so long to write this, I forgot the rest of the questions. I guess I have to watch the videos again. This is what happens when you have a puppy that has cabin fever on an ice day. Fetch that ball, get my stuffed animal where I dropped it.... it never ends.

Answer to question 2: They were joking. Santino and Daniel V did NOT get it on in the men's room. That was just to shock Chloe and Kara. 3. Zulema/Shitange was apparently quite a pill. Tim talks about how she hoarded the muslin and nobody else could get their hands on it. Tim found this out only much later, in the makeover episode, when Kara thought they should all go get manicures and pedicures. Tim was shocked that Nick and Santino, of all people, never confronted her about it, but they were frightened of her! LOL! He said that they should have brought it to his attention and he would have "b!tch-slapped" her. 4. Kara was cut long before the fashion week thing, but they had to show her faux line because of the show's schedule--if she hadn't done a mock line, it would have been obvious who was cut before the show itself had gotten to the final three. And besides that, it was nice of them to allow Kara to do a runway show, even if it was a "kissing your sister" kind of thing. She got press/attention for it. They finished filming, IIRC, in the beginning of August, so they had all that time to work on their lines. The show's premiere was--when?--January? So that's when Iman wore that horribly boring navy blue number. BTW, Tim is SO good at what he does that, almost without fail, when he makes a critique of a garment, one of the judges has a similar critique.

I found it interesting that Santino was so apologetic for his cutting remarks to people. Apparently he doesn't have the balls to be a real dick.

Santino will be on Best Week Ever tonight at 11 I think (and repeated throughout the weekend) on VH1. I have thought it was....strange?...that nobody has been dogging Daniel for his behavior the past four episodes (I'm not counting the Reunion show, when he barely spoke). And on Wednesday he was especially yuckity with all his self-love for his wood shop purse. And then he was " offended" that Tim Gunn didn't lick him from head to toe [a.k.a. "piddle in his panties"] and praise him for how brilliant his boring line is. It even made him more self-pitying than he usually is! [ Tim says in Washington Post Express that he only goes back to DC "when my mother has major heart surgery. When I go back, it's like, how did I grow up here? No one understands fashion at all!" Daniel's line, it seems to me, is quintessetially DC burbs. All he needs to do is add a bit of red cedar mulch to them to complete the look.] Oh and who does Chloe think she is, trying to mess up Daniel's sympathy narrative--"so there I was, upper middle class, in Michigan, but gay!"--with some silly story about being placed in a military camp when her family tried to leave Laos after the Vietnam war! Chloe, how DARE you think that pain compares! The worst pain of all was when we had to see that sketch of your seven sisters
because it was so disembodied. I hope it was an art project from your fashion design school. That way it would explain why you don't sketch now and why you allow these things to come about organically. Or something. Someone has made a "Happiness Is A Warm Gunn" t-shirt. Now make it work.

Well well, so interesting to read all of your posts as a "Joany come lately!" to this show! I've just started getting into this show with the repeats on the weekends the past couple of weeks. I haven't seen from the beginning and the last I saw was the ice skating costume. Holy feathers batman - I can't believe they didn't OUT Santino with that feather horror!! So far I'm feeling NO Santino love at all. I find him rather obnoxious acting and I don't care for his designs at all! I wish Nick had stayed instead of whoever else was up against him. I liked him from what I've seen. I like Chole from what I've seen and Daniel has grown on me, from what I've seen!!! I hope either Daniel or Chole wins. Since I haven't seen all you have seen, perhaps that will change, but Santino just does overkill on just about everything I've seen. I would like to see him being apologetic. I might like him a lot better.

PR fans have to catch today's 14 Days of Runway bonus video on the PR site. It's Santino and Nina sparring over his lingerie from waaaaay back in episode 4 (?) and it's fascinating. I've always liked his lingerie and I think he makes a compelling case for it... Others will disagree, I'm sure.

Anyone see "The View" today with the Runways finalists? What the heck was it with Chloe? Is she a dwarf or was her model a giant? And wow, they must have had good editing on PW cuz I never noticed such a GI-NOR-MOUS difference in height between Chloe and the models before today.
