Hmm, they keep calling Robert "boring?"!!

I LIKE the bit about the models picking the DESIGNERS!! Especially since Keith's model was put at risk last week. How did they deal with the fact that there were more models than designers?

They chose the models by pulling a name out of the bag. The last two in the bag were sent bye bye.

I am really liking Michael. I like his design, personality and he gave tonight what might become the quote of the season, "I was not out to be Captain Save-a-ho" I was cracking up on that one.

The save-a-ho that he was was talking about was Angela. I think that the first week or two gave her a bad rap. I loved her dress tonight. If she keeps her I am from Pluto style out of it, she has potential.

I thought Robert this week really matched the boring description.

No choice but to send Bradley home. That was scary and Cher does wear scary but that was beyond.

Did anyone else notice the following two things that weirded me out tonight?

1. The butt in Kayne's dress. Holy schamoly you had to have an ass to wear that dress, no way could Marilyn have played that one off

2. When they did the text message question, did you see Laura's picture? I was seriously frightened. The lips, oh wow they were bright. I really felt bad for people who have clown fears as children, cause this would have brought it all back.

Previews didn't give a ton a clues about the future. At this point I am a Michael girl. Plus, I loved the calling mom thing.

Bradley did deserve to leave. His outfit looked like aluminum foil. He could have designed so much for Cher.

I liked the models choosing the designers, but didn't like the randomness of the model elimination. If it is, as Heidi says every episode, a competition for the models as well, I think they deserve better than being eliminated by luck of the draw. Where is the competition in that?

I also didn't much care for the challenge. Updating a fashion icon is fine, but I didn't like that they were each designing for a different icon. To me, that is like having them all do different challenges. I like to see them design for the same client, because it is interesting to see how their own individual styles result in such different designs. I don't know that you can really see that in a challenge like this as what Michael designed for Pam Grier, for example...would be completely different than what Michael would have designed for, say, Audrey Hepburn. I DID find it interesting, though, how spot on the models were with their selections for the designers.

And if they were updating the looks for the fashion icons, why were they all still styled with their old-look hairdos and make-up?

Okay, on to the individual designers and their designs:

Angela - Loved the dress. I would love to see more of this style from her and less of, as Laura would say, the "full-tilt boogie Angela quilted extravaganza of puff".

Michael - Also loved it...and the fact that I'm saying I loved something that had hot pants? Shows just how good this was. The top was beautiful and the shorts were very well done. And, I just really like Michael.

Uli - All her designs look so similar to me and frankly, I am as bored by that as the judges are by Robert's designs.

Alison - Didn't like it at all...and it certainly didn't say Farrah Fawcett to me. It looked more like something that should have been designed for last year's Sasha Cohen comp.

Laura - Her design was a typical Laura design, but definitely had the Kate Hepburn look. Oh, and she should have stayed out of the Jeffrey/Angela fight.

Jeffrey - Typical Jeffrey design. Could see Madonna wearing that...you know, back in the day, but Madonna is such a weird icon to use, since she updates herself so often. And Jeffrey should have stayed out of the Angela/Bradley disagreement (even though I think he was right about needing to fix the machine you break, because changing machines just inconveniences everyone else).

Vincent - Have not been impressed by anything he has done and this week was no exception. But found it interesting that Jia chose to keep working with him and seemed really happy about it.

Kayne - Loved the front and most of the back, but the butt just looked a little weird when the model was walking it. His model looked fantastic, though...the styling was just perfect.

Robert - Just missed the mark completely...and what happened to the pretty blue fabric he bought? But I still love him and think he can do so much better, so I'm glad they kept him.

Bradley - Oh, my poor Bradley. How sad that he knew nothing about Cher. Although that outfit, wouldn't have been right for...well..anyone. Okay, maybe David Bowie in the Major Tom days, but that is about it. So, he did deserve to go, but he will be missed.

I think the random draw may have been used to make up for Keith being asked to leave. It wouldn'tbe fair to his model to be eliminated just because he cheated. At least the random draw spread the unfairness around...

I was watching with a friend and we thought that if Bradley had used the silver lame to make a bikini top, and the little top he made into a button front top (left open), it might have worked. At least it would have been a little more "Cher-like". LOL.

I just remembered the other thing I wanted to ask about....Allison.

It says she is from NYC, but does anyone know her background. I can't place that accent or whatever it is she is doing with her voice!

The dress Angela designed was totally fabulous . I would wear it, but Michael deserved to win. I would have worn those hot pants 25 years ago-okay 30 years ago. There have been a lot of fabulous designs on all three seasons, but not many that the average woman could wear.

Michael's design was so good. The hot pants were not too short or tight. His design fit his model just right. I loved the top and the color was beautiful.

No question in my mind that Bradley was the one that should be gone. His designs always seemed to be incomplete. He moved so slow, I hardly noticed him.

I still have not caught this show, the screen was blank when it was scheduled to be on and came back to life with the next show, so who knows what my cable company was thinking.

So I decided to read the summary on the net and I keep getting erros on Tim's take and the episode summary, not to mention the dresses do not all show up on rate the runway. Has someone hacked the site?

I love Laura's work. She has an excellent eye for clean, classic design. But, she isn't always original. Her Katherine Hepburn was spot on Katherine, yet I didn't think it was updated.

Michael's hot pants were great. I remember many women wearing hot pants years ago. His update of the look was perfect. The cut and style was nice, too.

I agree with you all on Kayne's dress.

Uli has a lot of flair. I love her things, too.

Vincent depresses me with his saying that everything is a nightmare!

thanks Ladybug but that is at the bravo site and I cannot for some reason access that site at all. My computer can't even ping it so i guess my ISP does not recognize it :-(:-( I need a site NOT at Bravo.

Jan, Reality News Online and Television Without Pity both post recaps of the show. RNO usually posts their's a bit sooner than TWOP. At RNO you'll find the most current articles on the home page, but you can click on the Project Runway link right above all the recaps to get to the older stuff.

And MSNBC has a Project Runway Update for each episode.

I don't know of anywhere else that posts Tim's Take, but if you want I could post it here...or send it to you each week or something.

When Laura went to the Macys window she was wearing a trench coat that is exactly like the one Best designed for his fashion doll collection...kinda strange, huh?

Here is a pic of the doll

Hey y'all. I've posted the Rate the Runway pics and "Tim's Take" from the last episode on my blog for those of you who can't get in to the PR site. Hopefully, you'll be able to access it. I rarely use my blog, just got one because it seemed like the thing to do at the time! Anyhoo, I'll try to do this every week(at least until Bravo shuts me down ).

You are welcome! It is actually kind of fun. I've had the blog so long and have done very little with it. Just getting the PR stuff on yesterday taught me a LOT about doing the formatting...and it gives me something to do when things are slow at work, which is often (I just have to remember to bring my laptop as I can't access the PR site to get the info OR upload images from the work PCs.)

And, Jan, there should be pictures of my new kitten up soon, too!

Darn, darn, darn!!! I really liked Alison and wish Vincent had gone instead. I was breathing a sigh of relief over Kayne, though -- I love watching him, and I really didn't want to see him go. Michael's outfits are fantastic (in my un-educated opinion), so I was thrilled to see him win again. Fun episode since more than one person ditched ideas and completed things in the "final hours."

Now -- off to hear Tim's take. :-)
