Pamy, Jan's list, posted above, has him as a contestant.

ETA: The article with Tim Gunn says that the designers this year have more actual working experience than in previous years

Darrell... I watched the auditions last night and that incident did not happen. Then they introduced us to the finalists. I'm going to have to assume that whoever gets kicked off the show is one of the finalists that made the cut.

Both shows were cool. Malan reminds me of Austin Powers.

I'm going to dig this season! It's a great mix, I've actually seen Jeffrey Sebelia's line before, and I love the fact that there is a Barbie designer and a pagent/prom designer. I'm glad there are many more working designers this time. It may be unfair, but I don't want to see another "designer" who can't operate a sewing machine!

Great stuff! I LOVE that Austin is designing wedding dresses. That's just PERFECT (and they looked beautiful) for him.

Definitely an interesting mix of people this time and interesting diversity in their style points of view. This could be the most entertaining season yet. :-)

I don't even think Malan is going to be one of those 'love to hate types', I think I am just going to hate him.
Is that accent even real?

If apartments are left in this condition I will be disappointed. They will lose some credibility. This show has always been a cut above the rest. The time constraint is stressful enough, is PB&J next?

Loved seeing Austin's new career and snippets from the others.

Vincent is not going to make it far but I understood keeping him above the unskilled Harvard MBA. He may surprise us but what a mess!

I think I remember Timm saying Malan was the character so I expect to see him survive longer than he should.

Jeff will make it very far. I liked his dress and coat despite the complaints that it was too much. His skill showed.

The coat Laura made was stunning and the winner in my book because it was a unique idea.

I don't remember what won because the model was not standing next to the winner when he was declared. Too lazy to go back and look, anyone know?

I absolutley love this show.

Keith Michael won. He designed the blue dress (out of sheets) with the red duvet buttons in back.

I agree about fixing up the apartments immediately. They don't even have decent mattresses to sleep on. That would be terrible! I did notice that the woman seem to have a much more positive, up-beat attitude about the whole thing though. The men are definitely more the divas.

Great show, but what's with Bravo giving away the bottom three with their vote for who you think will be "Auf'd"? They had their commercial for it, then the show went back to the six "best and worst". The judges hadn't even announced those bottom three yet.

Scout, I thought that was interesting too. They did tell us who they were, even though I'd pretty much figured that they were the bottom three.

I'm going to the Barbie conv at end of the month so I hope to get Robert to sign one of my dolls.

I saw last years PR barbie at Toysrus yesterday..it had been sold out so they must have made another batch of them....it was one of the fastest selling barbies

I think the problem is time constraints - while it is fun to have limits set on a reality program, as more and more professionals get involved, there is more of an upset at the arbitrariness.

I didn't see the need to trash the apartments, they did not use the bed mattresses much. I know they brought back as much as they could, but a little thought could have left a living area in pretty good shape. Very little of what they destroyed was used.

Yes, them coming back to that room wreckage was a shock to me. But so was that feeding frenzy as they stripped the rooms in the first place. And I've said before that I wished they were allowed a little more time for the challenges.

I liked Robert's dress the best (the one with the silver trim and red bows) followed closely by Keith's winning design (his navy sheet dress was especially impressive if it really was the first dress he ever made but I kinda agreed with Tim that his choice of material wasn't innovative, where was the challenge?). I thought Laura's coat was beautiful and a refreshing change from what we usually see on the show (it even had sleeves!) and thank heavens that rug was made of faux fur otherwise I'd have had to hate it :-) ! Another design I really liked was Michael's coffee filter dress. It was darling and completely unexpected.

I felt bad for Stacey - she was just beaming during the runway show - but since she had such trouble using the sewing machine, then it's best she leave sooner rather than later. I thought her dress had potential but it just never came together.

Figured I'd hate Malan, he seems so phony and that cartoonish laugh..., but honestly, he didn't bother me this episode. I even thought his outfit was okay. Not great but certainly not horrible. But time will tell. Laura's "I've always wondered what people in Ohio do" comment bugged me but then so did Angela's loopy pronunciation of "oh-HI-o" and Yves St. Laurent, lol.

possible spoiler as to the identity of one of the final three
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/434634p-366199c.html

Even though the first episode just ended, the identity of one of the final three designers might be known as the result of a horrific accident. The New York Daily News’ Ben Widdicombe has an item today about one of the models on the show who became one of the final three models.

However, she “was struck by a bus while riding her bike to the show’s location in the city.” Her agent, Javier Hernandez, said, “She fractured her skull and her eye socket and was in critical condition for three days. Now she has been in intensive care for a month.” Her agent said the show’s producers have been helpful. “Everyone from the show has been really supportive and offered their help to get her parents a visa to visit her in the hospital and work on a benefit for her,” he said.

Widdicombe reveals the model’s name and the paper publishes her picture, but if this season works like previous seasons, and the designers stay with the same model through most of the series, her identity could reveal one of the three finalists. Thus her accident may have resulted in a major spoiler, so read with care. She is

I loved watching everyone cramming stuff into there laundry bags, and then cut to the shot of Laura neatly folding her fabric. I adored that coat; it was so nice to see something constructed and not deconstructed.

Good find Texannie - thanks for the head's up!!

Didnt someone post about the room stripping, saying it would've been a better challenge if they had to USE what they took?!! That would've cut down on the chaos and feeding frenzie (I'm taking it so no one else can use it mentality!)

I agree, I think they should've been given points for originality - a bed sheet is too easy, the design not so easy, (lol) but, like stated above the coffee filters, original - and to take off marks on the coat because it looks like everything else she presented - um.. it was the first challenge... she used different materials (and like already stated -sleeves) so again, I'd give points for the creativeness, and the difficulty as well as overall achievement ( lol guess that's why I'm not a judge!! lol)

esp in light of the fact as Tim Gunn states, most have much more experience than in previous seasons... drama sells tho, so we'll see, and i'll be watching!! ;)

Rats, I see I omitted part of a sentence in my above post. I meant to say "that cartoonish laugh...it makes him seem like a campy villain from Austin Powers".

Reader234: Now that would have been something if they had had to use everything they scavenged from the rooms!

This is one of two shows that I would actually want to be a contestant on. The other is Big Brother.

calamity, i agree about the coffee filter dress. I think he should have won, actually. it was beautiful and not made of the typical materials everyone else used. He thought outside the box. The first thing I said to my sister was that I would go for the toilet paper and leave everyone else to the traditional things.

I think the barbie designers dress was second.

The bed sheet dress that won was lovely but it didn't take the challenge to the next level.

OK, so... I downloaded both shows (Road to Runway and the first episode -- Home Sewn, I think it was called?) from iTunes and watched yesterday.

ITA about the coffee filter dress!!!! It was my very favorite! And wow, there is some serious talent there this year. I'm quite impressed.

The Malan guy -- his accent just makes me laugh. I love when someone asked him where he was from and he said (looking down), "Oh, from all over the place. I was born in Taiwan." Hahaha. Tim Gunn's comments about the accent in the article were hilarious, too.

I've also listened to Tim's Podcast about the first episode, and while not scandalous, he's always entertaining.

I love this show. I wish Canada would air it at the same time, though, so I wouldn't have to watch it the day after on my laptop!
