did anyone notice this "limited edition" dress on BR's site? http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=5101&pid=324255 It is not listed as a Project Runway or Santino design. Yet I swear this is very similar to Santino & Nick's design... Didn't the BR rep say it wasn't really the BR style?? hmmm, I just went to check Bravo's website to refresh my memory on Santino's design, and I can't locate any pictures of his dress... Guess I'll have to watch the episode again next time it airs.

Apparently that dress has been up since last season for a Memoirs of a Geisha tie in for winter, Luv. Also note the price, which is half off, which usually indicates it's not a new item. Interesting though.

do the "rate the runway" and you'll see it there.

I think she means you can't see the jacket. I've been looking around and can't find a picture of it either.

Santino alienated the judges during the lingerie judging but I expect to see him make the final 3. I loved the way he slammed Kors! How utterly stupid of him, but grand. This is entertainment first and he is supplying it, big time. I doubt the show would be as interesting without him. Since Jay, last season's winner, refused the Banana Rebublic mentorship I think they will be looking to award the prize to someone who will accept it. Chloe and Nick have winner written all over them. I expect to see them in the final two.

I'm perfectly content to have Santino farther and farther. It's amusing to watch his ego inflate and knowing that he doesn't even realize that he is headed for a big *POP*. You have to kind of pity someone who is so un-self aware. He'll make the final three - since they didn't cut him after that horrendous lingerie collection, he's there for the duration.

I agree, Santino will be in for the final 3, just for the drama. I think he is talented, but limited. I'm thinking it will be Santino, Nick, and Daniel V. I could see them axing Santino in the #4 spot though, just because that would almost be more crushing to him. I'm torn between wanting Santino to stay because he is entertaining in a way and wanting him cut because he is such a bad sport and rudely un-self aware. I'm becoming fond of Kara! I didn't like her at first with all the stress, but after seeing Zulema and her pull that dress out of what seemed to be thin air, I want her to stay for a while. Not because of her designs, because none of them have really impressed me. I just find her to be very real and I like her accent.

What did everyone think tonight? I thought the top two were dead on -- either one would have fit Sasha and looked gorgeous out on the ice. The bottom two both were HORRID! Too predictable who would stay and who would be out (see all our discussion above!), but I got a giggle out of Sasha's comment on the back of his outfit (storage pack?? LOL) Will the Bravo site have pictures up of Sasha actually wearing the outfit that won?

Good episode tonight. I must say that Emmett looked, by far, the worst in his skating outfit! EEK! I LOVED Zulema's design. Absolutely gorgeous and something that would be great on the ice. Chloe's was pretty, too, but needed to be worn by someone with more of a curvy shape than either Sasha or that model has. (I kept wanting to tell the model to stand up straight when they were standing on the runway for the judging. Couldn't really tell, though, if she was slouching or if she's just way too skinny to fill out the spaces between her shoulder bones.) Santino was DEFINITELY skating on thin ice this week (pun fully intended). Maybe he's not a skating fan, but all I could think of was Sasha doing a triple lutz and having one of those pieces of feather or tafetta come flying off, causing her to trip on the ice. ACK! Emmett tried hard in an area that he's really unfamiliar with and did a decent job. I thought his design was pretty, but it definitely was conventional.

I loved Zulema's dress. The piping design was beautiful and you could tell it would look great on the ice. I thought Chloe's dress was beautiful as well, but agree that for someone who isn't fuller figured, it wasn't right. Santino's dress was UGLY. I'm sorry, I don't see conceptual in that dress; all I see is someone adding more and more shreds of material. I think if Heidi Klum had had her way, Santino would've been booted tonight. Unfortunately for Emmett, his dress wasn't anything new; and while I didn't find it ugly, compared to the others (other than Santino), it showed little creativity. Once Chloe was dismissed you knew Emmett was a goner. Santino is probably here to stay; he's the good/bad guy protaganist this season. I just don't think he's all that and a bag a chips. Good show tonight!

I liked Emmett's outfit. It did look like something we might have seen before but it looked like something a skater would wear. Unfortunately, he just doesn't make as good tv as arguing with Santino does.

The producers know we are yearning for the day Santino will leave. So naturally they tease us with the "I'm ready to give Santino my Auf Wiedersehen tonight." As soon as she said that, I knew he was safe.

Hey Megs, how are you? Glad to hear the camera is working out for you guys. Saw that Zachy got a new iMac. Woo hoo! Tell him I'm jealous! LOL! Last week, Marla and Diana left. This week, Emmett did. Oh, I agree that once we heard Heidi say that Santino was safe if only because he's the storyline this season. While I do think he has some talent, I don't think he's as good as he thinks he is. I'm looking forward to hearing what Tim has to say in his podcast.

Sasha's 2003-2004 Long Program was to Swan Lake. At first I thought she'd pooh pooh Zulema's design cause she's already worn a Swan Lake outfit. See photo's of her original Swan Lake dress HERE. Could be she tuned in to the Swan Lake design though cause she had skated to it before. She can use Zulema's dress now, and just dig out her Swan Lake program from a few years ago to use in exhibition.

Oy, Santino. Even he hated his rag! I do hope they boot him as #4. Fun for all, lol.

Santino- I like him and I think his fellow contestants have come to appreciate his sense of humor and presence. His first two dresses, blue baby doll and Barbie were superior. It was interesting to see him humbled by his disaster. Loved his imitation of Kors saying a baboons ass exploded on the back of his costume. He does a great Heidi Klum too. Andrae- His creation was the worse than Emmets; it was hideous. They gave him a pass because his time was eaten fixing the machines. That was something the show should have taken care of and they knew it. Emmet- He has been squeaking by each week. I doubt he was that disappointed, his passion is mens wear. Cloe is Kors favorite. I think they all like and respect both her designs and sensibilities. Her skating dress was beautiful and showed her skill. Zulema and Kara- Both of them have been lost in the plot. I have no sense of their skill or design direction. When Zulema's dress is made for Sasha they will chose another fabric for the skirt and probably expand the design around her breasts. The pleated skirt was too stiff to flow and there was a tad too much nude fabric. Daniel- another one lost in the shuffle for me. The winning Banana dress was too conservative for my taste and I can't remember anything else he has done. I liked his skating costume but not hugely. I see Nick and Cloe as final two. Santino will be 3rd, as we all clearly see. This year they are going to be sure the winner will accept the Banana mentorship. It may even be in the contract. Jay, as a judge next week, makes my heart sing. I love that guy!

Dammit I was hoping Santino would get the boot. His outfit was horrid.

Well, now we know there's something fashion models don't look good wearing - skating costumes. I don't know if it was the hair or the high heels or the models' height but something just seemed wrong. Maybe they should have made an ice runway! Even though the results weren't all that great, I liked this episode a lot. It was really fun seeing the designers at the rink. Poor Emmett definitely got the ugliest costume. And Heidi's comments and expressions almost stole the show. Sasha Cohen was very poised and diplomatic but still honest. I thought most of the outfits were too short and some really didn't seem to fit that well. Kara's was pretty although it did look a lot like a spangly leotard. Chloe's design was beautiful and unique but I didn't care for the color myself. Turquoise is one of the more difficult colors to wear - you really need the right skin tone. I agree that (with some revisions) Zulema's dress was the best. Daniel V's outfit looked like a nightgown. A nice nightgown but not the right design for this challenge. I was thinking Andrae's was looking rather promising when he had it on the figure but when I saw it on the runway - oh no. And yeah, I also was sure Emmett would be ousted instead of Santino. At least Santino amused me with some of his self-deprecating comments this episode! I'm looking forward to Jay too! OT - Btw, did anyone see the commercial during PR for the Dog Olympics (as I call them)? Is that what aired on NBC last weekend? I've seen these competitions before and even though I love watching the doggies, I can't help worrying that it's bad for those dogs' backs to have them jumping so far off that dock. And I never saw a Jack Russell race before - they put muzzles on the poor little guys!

This was really a jump the shark episode for me. I'm not particularly interested in a Santino with humility and self-depricating humor. I mean, my God, the first words of the episode were Santino saying "Congratulations, guys" to Daniel and Andrae...this is hardly the eye-rolling monster the editors had given us heretofore. I want his bluster and amazing talent. Sadly, both were lacking on this episode, just as they were last week. But you have to hand it to him: he is always spectacularly good, as with the two challenges he won, or spectacularly bad, like last night and the lingerie challenge. I was not impressed by any of the designs. And I thought the idea of them wearing skating outfits was ridiculous.

Oh and I forgot to say that I don't tune into Project Runway to hear what Heidi Klum has to say about clothing, so she can save her pronouncements that she's ready to give her auf wiedersehen to anybody. Heidi: stay thin, keep highlighting your hair, and maintain your ability to walk down a runway. You're a model, for pete's sake. For Victoria's Secret! LOL!

I figure they had them wear skating outfits for the same reason Robert had a cameo role as a mail carrier (I just remembered that was one of the challenges last year - imagine, if you can, Santino's vision for that, lol) and other such stunts. Me, I'd rather see more of the actual work on the outfits than the soapy personal confessions and silly contrived dramas. Then again, I've always preferred the actual racing on TAR and have little interest in the Pit Stop filler material so what else could you expect from me? In the same way, what I love about PR is the creativity it demands, not the breakdowns and fits. *Shrug* And I appreciate Heidi's comments (perhaps because they often echo my own thoughts) and that's even though I'm really not into celebrity stuff. It was kind of startling to see Santino so floundering and unsure of himself. But in the long run this experience might help him.

Tish, I disagree that this is a jump the shark eppy. If anything, it's nice to see Santino as a three dimensional person; can't be sarcastic all the time, right? LOL! I guess I'm more like Calamity, I enjoy Heidi's comments on the show whether I agree with her or not. I don't find her incompetent or unintelligent; she seems like a rather funny person. Definitely looking forward to seeing Jay as a judge next week.
