Ah, out of the hotel and back at home spending hours catching up on taped reality shows....like heaven after the past week. I thought this was a great season and I thought that the final collections (except Michael's) were great. I would have been happy with any winner but I think that the choice of Jeffrey was correct. He was in a different place design-wise -- he seemed more interested in art/experimentation and pushing the boundaries. Uli's and Laura's collections were lovely and will sell beautifully, I am sure. I am a fan of all four designers. I want Keith Michael and Alison to be on Season 4 of Project Runway. I really want to see what the two of them can do. I can't wait for these clothes to go up on auction because I am going to bid on them.

It's up today on iTunes (finally). Going to go watch it now, instead of spending this sunny Saturday afternoon outside LOL.

I was really disappointed that Alison didn't go farther in the season. I was shocked that both Vincent and Angela got farther than she did. All her stuff was good except that one awful paper dress, and who didn't have some trouble with that one? Also, I can't stand Jeffrey, but I do agree that he's talented. He's just not talented enough to justify his arrogant, everyone-else-sucks atitude. Nobody on earth is THAT talented. The one thing that really, really bothered me the worst about him was how he kept deliberately baiting Angela about her mother, and then he made some comment about how the angrier she got, the happier it made him. That kind of stuff is just not attractive, and it is so unnecessary.

I was really disappointed that Alison didn't go farther in the season. ME TOO!!! I'm not sure if the judges ever come out and say "we are judging on your overall performance" but it sure does seem that way. They seem to cut the one's that have done bad continuously. So one could say that they judge cumulatively. Alison's cut totally blew me away. She made ONE bad dress and that's it for her? That was TOTALLY BOGUS!! It's like they cut her based off of ONE CHALLENGE which is unusual. I read in Star or US magazine that it was because of Heidi. She apparently didn't like her and wanted her off the show for personal reasons. Now we all know how accurate these magazines are! LOL

Actually, Trueheart, on the Reunion Show I remember one of the judges (I think Michael Kors) saying specifically that they did NOT judge cumulatively, but only on that particular challenge. I too mourn the loss of Alison. Vincent needed to go long before he did. I really don't understand why he didn't rather than Alison. Also, I thought Alison should have won the dog challenge....a shame she didn't, because if she had, she would have been brought back!

Yeah Beth, I think it was Kors who said that. They do take all the challenges in consideration, but it isn't like "Well, designer A has had great outfits in the last 3 challenges, so we'll let this one slide". They just have expectations from a particular designer based on what they've done before...so they know what that designer is capable of in any challenge. I don't know, I never liked Alison as much as a lot of people seemed to. I did think Vincent should have gone in that challenge, but I don't think Alison would have made the finals, either. I really wasn't that impressed by her. And it isn't like she was wowing the judges every week before that. She was usually middle of the pack with her designs...only stood out in the dog challenge, I think. (I know she was a finalist in the Macy's challenge, but those were Keith's designs, so I don't count it as much). And her dress in the recycling challenge was bad. It wasn't terribly innovative, it looked horrible on the model, it was taped together in places, and that bow of hair was RIDICULOUS. Sure, Vincent's was bad too, but the model didn't look as bad in it. She couldn't walk...but how much moving around could Alison's model have done without the paper ripping or the tape coming loose? But, I think that comes down to the time factor. When her first idea didn't work, she didn't have enough time to recover. I do wish they'd always give them at least 2 days for the challenges. More time yields better results. I was happy to see Jeffrey win it all. I think he really does have some great ideas. I'm not saying I'd wear his clothes, they just aren't my style...but I do love looking at them. Laura's and Uli's were good, but Jeffrey's just had that something extra. Michael's were pretty bad, but I think he has so much potential. Actually, of all of them, I think he could benefit the most from a mentorship (Tim said in that interview that Michael really needs feedback when he's designing.)

Michael definitely needs a mentor to keep him from going "ho" with his designs. Put Laura and Michael in a loft together, let them each start and take a garment halfway and then SWITCH! Ta-da, great garments! Alisons is a genius!

Beth I see the finale being aired as late as this Thursday, but not after that, but that could just be their short on screen schedule on my DVR for Time-Warner.

Earlier this year there was a question about how much time the contestants had to finish their collections - I happened to run across Tim Gunn's response to this and thought you all might be interested - it was even longer than we all thought. (I got this from Blogging Project Runway who got it from someone else.) Q: Tim, how much time do the designers get to complete their line once they are told they are going to Fashion Week? - Leandus A: In the case of season three, eleven weeks, give or take a day or two.

That would be about right. They went away for "two months" but actually were gone for two and half weeks. Then they were back in NY for a week.

Jeffrey Sebelia is on the Ellen show right now (or will be soon). In the sound bite announcing who's on today, he responds to Ellen's question about the cheating thing with "What comes out is that she [Laura] had it out for me." Should be interesting...

ACK.. I forgot and after watching some of the show, I erased before Jeffrey came out. No huge loss and the preview told me he cannot just let it go. You won, dude! Work on your own image.

It wasn't much Sea. In fact, I can't really remember much about it at all. He did talk about how he went there with that specific "persona" in mind and how he went there thinking he wanted to make "good TV" (which, honestly, didn't endear him to me any at all!). And Ellen had two of his dresses on stage (the really feminine one and the green striped one). Other than that, I can't remember much of what he said.

Yeah I saw the dresses on stage, just blanked and instead of FF to his portion, just erased it. Sounds like I missed basically nothing.

I am really having a hard time letting go of this show this year! I keep reading "Blogging Project Runway" and "Project Rungay" every day. I wish this were on all the time!

It's OK, Alisons -- I fell asleep last night listening to Tim Gunn's podcasts on my Shuffle. Any night I have trouble sleeping, I plug him in and it just soothes my troubled mind

When will the next season of Project Runway start? (I was a newbie this summer...finally getting Bravo when I moved and got DishTV.) Watched an episode or so and it easily became one of my "can't miss" shows to watch. Now that it's ended I'm anxious for another season! P.S. Fun link Lilfair!

There was talk KC that Project Runway will be a once a year show only from now on -- in the summer like this year. Part of it has to do w/Tim Gunn's schedule: he teaches at Parson's, so working AND filming the show gets rather hectic during the school year.

Does anyone know when the finale of this season will be shown again? I see a schedule posted further up here in the thread yet I didn't see it listed at any time on Nov. 10 on my TV menu. Any ideas when Bravo will show that again? I never got to see the entire thing. Thought my DVR was taping the finale, but it taped for one minute and stopped instead of one hour! Still have no idea why that happened.

Wow, KC103, someone else in my exact position, and I am also looking for same info as to when I can see finale. I also saw the entire thing, but was away from cable for 2 weeks and missed finale. You are right re nov 10th. I faithfully taped on friday from 5 pm to 6 pm and when I went to look at finale, got an episode of top chef instead! I too watched every episode and missed finale, so anyone with fresh insight as to reairing, appreciated from both KC and me!
