I'm loving this new season so far. My faves right now are Chloe and Daniel Franco. Santino is going to get on my nerves with his "holier than tho" attitude, although he is rather talented. Can't wait 'til next week!

My favorite moment of the whole show was Wendy Pepper walking the line talking to the contestants, introduces herself all self importantly and then you hear her say 'did any of you see Season 1??"

Loved that part,Texannie. She and Robert both had a sort of "Don't You Know Who I Am?" attitude.

Did Robert talk about anything he was doing, besides the possible Playgirl shoot? You know, like actual designer work?

I really liked Santino, Zulema, and Chloe. I think Andrae is adorable.

It's amazing that Heidi was so big when this was shot and now she's back to being tiny again. So quickly!

SO happy to have that girl eliminated on the first show--the blonde who made the really tacky clothes that looked like they were from a second rate mall. And the girl with the magnets with polarity problems? Strange.

Zulema! What an over-inflated ego! What kind of jackass shares an apartment with other women and expects to have all the closet to herself?

Tish, the only polarity problem i could figure out is that she sewed them in backwards.

The girl with the magnets? I don't like the idea of clothes that you would have to continuously explain to people.

Annie, I thought the only polarity that was messed up was hers. But that's just me.

Did she get eliminated? I missed that. I actually like the designs she brought to the audition. I thought the idea of design through math was intriguing.

No she's still there.

I also thought the idea of doing mathematical design sounds interesting--I really think Yoshi Yamamoto does this, anyhow, and I think there's also a huge mathematical component in Issey Miyake's work, to name just two--but I didn't think she did it very well with those crazy magnets.

Interesting, I will have to look up their designs.

Successful or not, I like the fact that she thinks outside the box, and her approach to fashion from a math and science basis is intriguing. I look forward to seeing what else she creates.

I think the right people were eliminated.

I adore this show, it is my favorite reality show as it is about talent and creativity. I wish there were more shows like this.

I figured the magnets were inside a casing that gave them too much room to wiggle around. They flipped over and got reversed. She really should have had a back up plan for those, some velcro maybe?

I think she is interesting but she really should look at some fashion mags if she wants to stay around. The science/math angle will only go so far if her designs stink. She's going to need a lot more confidence too.

There are still too many designers. I saw several outfits in the first and second show that I liked, but I can't remember whose they were. Once we get down to about 8 designers, I'll be able to keep up better!

The girl with the magnet dress reminded me of so many teens these days who are obcessed with anime cartoons. I foresee all of her designs being appropriate for anime characters.

Santino deserves to have a meltdown next week after his comment to the others after Chloe won.

Love the preview where someone yells "where's my chiffon?" following one of the women looking for her missing 'form'.

LOVE this season! Love it love it love it!

Texannie, I also loved Wendy telling the hopefulls that she had an aura around her and that is what they needed to bring. Good god.

This is going to be a great season. At the end the text reminded us that decisions are made by judges, producers and Bravo. I expect Santino and Zulema to have a long run for drama alone, though they are both clearly skilled.

I had to laugh at the notion that magnets change their polarity! They were not strong enough to penetrate the layers of fabric while being worn is my guess. They probably worked on the form but would not grip with the movement.

That will go down in my memory as the best Wendy Pepper comment EVER. You know all of the applicants had seen season 1. They reran that thing in marathon format several times. Wendy rendered them speechless. What could they do but pretend they did not know her?!

What did Santino say about Chloe? I must have missed it.

They are both quite talented...and I suspect each sees it in the other.

A friend told me the NY Times had an article this week about men dominating the women's fashion industry and the article mentioned this show, which apparently has more men than women this season. I hadn't counted. :shrug:

Santino said, "They didn't want me to win twice in a row." He said it to the room, not specifically to Chloe. It was quite a dig.

It repeats ALL the time. According to my TIVO, it's on tonight at 6:00, tomorrow at 1 & 2 PM, Monday at 9, 10, 11 PM, Tuesday at 11:00 PM, Wed. at 5 and 6 PM and again at 8 and 9 PM (all times are EST for Bravo network). This season opener is actually two episodes, "Road to the Runway" and "Clothes Off Your Back."

Hope that helps. :-)

Jay McCarroll turned down Project Runway's $100,000 prize and mentorship

The winner of Project Runway’s first season didn’t get much after winning the show except for exposure on TV and in Elle. That’s because Jay McCarroll turned down the show’s $100,000 prize and the chance to be mentored by Banana Republic designers.

Why would he do that? “Use your imagination there for I am not allowed to talk about it,” he told The Washington Post. The paper reports, however, that “he did not dispute the suggestion that, perhaps, there were too many strings attached to such a windfall.”

He didn’t work with Banana’s designers, however, for another reason. “[E]verything was fine with them, just bad timing. I couldn’t think about mass production in China the week I won the show,” he said. “It was all just way over my head. I was pretty emotional for months. ‘What the [bleep] just happened to me?’ kind of thoughts.”

Project Jay will debut in February and “document his upcoming move to New York, his family life in Pennsylvania and the making of Klum’s Emmy dress, which, he notes, she did not wear,” the paper reports.
