I think the challenges are becoming more "gimmicky". ( I realize the first challenge last year was very gimmicky) While it might be entertaining, it doesn't necessarily produce the best designer. It's like when American Idol has a great country singer and hard rocker, then judges them on how well they can sing big band music.

Finally caught the repeat and I think the designer of the booty showing dress should've gotten the boot.

Remind me again on Daniel Franco's story.

Daniel was the first voted out in season 1. They designed clothes from what they could buy in the supermarket and he made a very dull looking sleevless jacket from butcher paper using tin foil to trim the lapels. I don't remember anything else other than an attitude making him appear that he did care much about the challenge.

Thanks, Fruit. I know he kept saying he wasn't the same person and was going to take this seriously and not in it for the tv exposure. I knew he had been the first voted off, but couldn't remember much to warrant his statements.

I saw Daniel on some show on the Style Network the other day....I'd tuned in to watch Isaac! [Isaac Mizrahi's show, which is phenomenal!] and I forgot to change the station....some show about three people buy clothes to makeover someone who has fashion problems. Daniel's stuff was....not especially inspired.

Anyone watch last night? I really like this show, but what is up with "The Great Santino" what an EGO! I like Daniel, I hope he steps up and does well but I doubt he will go far. The guy who won last night is one of my favorites but for the life of me I can't remember his name. Great design though.

Yes I loved the Barbie theme. I like Daniel too. I loved the winner's outfit and the crying guy's outfit.

I will miss the Jay and Austen show but Andrae (cryer) and Santino promise much drama. I don't think Daniel will make it very far. His outfit last night smacked of "inspiration" from Chloes winning effort last week, second time around and he frazzles easily. Nick (winner) is my current favorite for design and sanity.

Nick is my favorite too. I love his commentaries! I thought his dress was amazing and as soon as I saw it I knew he would win. I could defintely see it on Barbie. Anyone know when his Barbie comes out? I'd love to see it!

LOVED it! Project Runway is quickly becoming my favorite reality show -- no hopes for alliances, it's all about the designer -- and throwing in the models always adds some extra excitement (will they show?).

So far: Liking Daniel Franco (his dresses seem to have a fluidity of motion to them that appeals to me...and his neuroses are kind of endearing), Chloe, Diana (I'm a science and math geek, too), Emmett, Nick and Daniel Vosovich. Liked Andrae right away, but he is just a bit emotional for me first with the crying and then with the arguing this week...and I haven't really much cared for his designs so far. Loving Santino's designs, but not caring much for his ego. The remark after Chloe won was bad enough, but did you see the look on his face this week when he didn't win? There ARE other good designers, there. I think both Chloe and Nick deserved their wins. Wanted to pull for Santino at the start, but am just pulling for him to shut up now. Not caring for Zulema's attitude. No real opinion of any of the others. Now a question: I never caught the first 6 or so episodes of the first season (seemed like every time I'd see a marathon, they'd be up to ep 7)...was there as much cattiness going on last season? Just thinking about the scene in this week's ep when Santino, Nick and I don't know who else were back in their suite(I think) and were ragging on all the other designers. Don't remember seeing much of that on the first season eps I saw and just wondered if it was there and I missed it or if it was something new.

Most of the cattiness last season was directed toward Ms. Wendy Pepper. It seems much more diffuse this season. Many more catty people to spread the snark around. I can't wait to see Zulema to make Andrae cry or for Zulema and nick or Santino to throw down. That'll be hot. I happen to love Santino. I think he's an amazingly talented designer [as is Chloe]...and like most people who excel at what they do, he might be a bit thin-skinned. Oh well. He'll prolly get a little nuts at some point this season. I also love Michael Kors' comments. He's too funny. Auf Wiedersehen!

I have nothing to add except to say I'm still pissed this isn't on in Canada right now. That's it. Can I say pissed? edited to add: It seems I can.

Really? That's great. I hadn't heard that. You're a great source, Miss Tishala! Will the US series be over by then (in other words, will I be spoiled before I can see it here)?

You have to get that Barbie, Pamy!! I'm happy to hear it will be on in Canada.. I saw an article that didn't sound good for our friends to the north.. project runway worldwide Project Runway will be sold internationally After being nominated for an Emmy, Project Runway is about to go global. FremantleMedia has picked up the rights to license the show internationally, selling both the US version and the format everywhere except the U.K. (which is already producing its version of the series), Canada and Italy. ... cont..

I watched -- and enjoyed it as always. I don't think my body would have looked good in ANY of those designs! LOL
