*Pretending I didn't see that...*

I really liked a number of designs this episode. My favorite's were Uli's winning print dress with jacket, Alison's ensemble (she had my favorite story but *sigh* about the leather), Jeffrey's beautiful tiered dress (was it just me or did he seem more personable this challenge?), Kayne's 60's inspired outfit, and Robert's pink plaid skirt & creamy blouse.

I thought Bonnie, Michael, and Laura (boo for not liking dogs) had good designs too, but I just didn't care for them as much.

I was very relieved Bradley somehow survived although I'll admit to being a bit puzzled by the praise the judges had for his slap dash top. But he seems like such a nice guy, so I was happy for him!

Katherine ought to have made that hoodie for her model! I guess last week was something of an exception and for this challenge we were back to ugly defeating dull.

As for Keith, great dress but he didn't complete the challenge, imho. I don't know what they should have done about that - he's too talented to go before some, maybe most, of the others. I was glad Heidi confronted him though.

Now for the really important question - which dog was the cutest (and, btw, they're not accessories!)?

Jan:

It was Katherine who was auf'd (the youngest designer - I think she was paired with Malan for the last challenge?). However Angela was in the bottom two. The judges said Katherine's dress was too simple and the hem was uneven and frayed. Angela had a more outrageous outfit - one judge said her model looked like a streetwalker - but they said it was well sewn.

thanks Calamity :-):-) I appreciate the update. No need for the spoiler treatment as, unfortunately we just don't get the show at all here :-(:-( Once it has aired on TV, no need to use a spoiler caption. :-)

In the link that is posted to the "E" story, they say that the person involved is MICHAEL (the black guy) but they show KEITH's picture. So who knows.

Sue/Susan was the bootee. At least I think that was her name. She was the one who worked with Malan last week. The dress was not horrendous but forgettable, which is probably a worse sin in the fashion world.

I was waiting for PETA to show up and protest the use of dogs in the contest.

I think the name is Keith Michael in the article, and the photo was correct. But in reading the whole story, it doesn't say he was "guilty" of copying - only that some felt the portfolio looked a lot like other designs. Also, he apparently defended that portfolio as not being submitted as his own work, but a research assignment on fashion trends. I hope it's not him - he seems very talented.

Bradley's piece reminded me of Daniel V's design from the inspiration competition. He did the outfit based on the photo of the vase of orchids. This looked like a cheap rip off of that design. Not an exact copy, but inspired by...an homage...LOL.

Jan we are going to get it in the fall in Canada I just read in TV guide canada today. Also the article said that the people who did Idol were going to produce a Canadian version of the show project runway. I have been watching it on NBC on monday or tuesday nights these last few weeks. Don't know if it's on this coming week. Also the train on the dress Miss. USA worn was much longer on the Runway show than it was on the Miss Universe show and that made it look awful on Miss USA.

YW, Jan :-) . I used the spoiler box because I didn't want to ruin it for anyone who hadn't had a chance to see it yet.

ETA: I mean by revealing the name in the first line like that.

ahh well, the feeling here is that, if people haven't seen the television show , they should expect to be spoiled if they come to a thread about the show once it has been televised :-):-):-)

Thanks Hughie. That's good news in one way ( but bad in another as there are so many competing shows in the fall!!!)

Okay, this was just kind of spooky...I got a dog a couple of months ago and have recently gotten into doggy clothing. Just last week, I actually said to someone that I thought Project Runway should do a doggy clothes challenge and last night, there is was! I had no idea I had such powers...but I promise to use them for only good!

Anyhoo, I had meant to come back and post this last week, when those associated with the show kept saying that booting Malan was some testament to the show's integrity, since they didn't keep a designer just for possible drama. IMO, it could just mean that they felt like Angela had more drama potential. Her outfit in this challenge was horrendous, yet they kept her again. And she seems so clueless to it, too. She was going on and on about how great the dress and story were and looked something like a deer caught in headlights when she ended up in the bottom 2. I think she has some judgment issues...she didn't know her dress was bad this week, but kept on and on about how bad Vincent's dress was last week, even though the judges actually liked it except the sleeves. I admit that Katherine's was simple, but isn't that simple & sporty thing her style? And the doggy hoodie was just TOO cute.

As for cutest dog, I don't know that I can really pick one, but when they were sketching and Katherine and her dog did the little high-five about it being a good design - I think that was the cutest dog moment of the show. I also loved Robert trying to get his doggy to stay still for a picture.

Bradley - I just want to hug him. Not because I'm in love with him or anything, just because he looks like he needs to be hugged and shielded from the world's problems. The look in his eyes reminds me of the look Whitney (my doggy) gets when she is worried or scared! I am just so worried that he is going to fall apart at any point in time. I was glad to see him pull it out this ep., if only to keep him from hurling himself off the roof after being eliminated.

And, Jan, ITA about not coming here after it has aired if you haven't seen it and don't want to be spoiled. I actually taped the show last night, so I avoided this thread all morning (which was quite painful for me), until I could get home and watch my tape.

Oooh, also forgot to say, at the runway when they were asking each designer about their story and where their model was going in the story, I loved it when Heidi (or maybe Nina) told Angela that judging by her skirt, she and her model were obviously going to the same place!

Bradley is not long for this competition. He got a lucky break but his slow and plodding way will be his downfall. He also got some serious feedback from Tim that changed his direction.

Alison, Tim, in podcast, says her dress was fabulous. We don't get to see enough of each creation on the runway. Offical whine.

Keith, the rumor goes on and on. No one, on the panel, thought Keith was trying to pass the photoshop fashion replicas as his own. If he goes, it is for another reason. Perhaps his creations thus far have been rip offs. That I can believe but how do you really know?

There is just so much one can do with a dress and similarities can be argued. Famous designers have clothes that can be traced to mentors or previous trends.

Jeff, the collar on his dress is not at all like Daniels orchid design but because it stands up the comparison is made. Those collars have resurfaced on the runway for decades.

There have been endless comparisons to other designers. Kara Janx was accused of ripping off Jay's designs for her runway show. pfffft

Vincent, ??? You see that look in the Village (NYC) all the time since the 80's. Not one word about him.

Malan must be coming back. Kayne, in an interview, said he was the only designer that he did not care for. Apparently he made nasty comments about the others on the runway. There was no chance for him to have even gotten to do this or for Kayne to know him, otherwise.

Laura just got on my radar for most disliked with her attitude about dogs. OK, I'll allow that some people don't adore dogs like the rest of us do. But did she really have to treat the little guy like she was asked to handle a turd?

I am with you Whoami...the way she put her in that bag at the park, so she wouldn't have to touch her (AND just the way she said that...) - that was just horrible. Her clothes are lovely (although, ENOUGH with the faux fur!), but I'm not sure she is a very lovely person. We'll see.

And I don't know whether a) they are having problems today, b) it is because I don't have flash on this PC or c) they've revamped things since last week...but, the navigation for the Bravo site really sucks today. Is probably the flash thing (and I am at work, so I can't install it), but I would almost swear that I usually visit the site at work and don't have a problem...maybe not this season, though.

Just saw a commercial - they are really playing up the "you'll have to leave immediately, it was against the RULES"

so once again, a REalty show has "rules" has any venue spoiled this yet??? and the commercial said to watch more "clues" online... so guess I'm off to see what I can see!!

(oh and Jan, we just love playin with that spoiler box doncha know?!! and I think Calamity was trying to prevent those that use the "new post" option that shows everyone's first line of script... yet your point is well taken!!)

LOL about Laura and the fur. You almost they'd be looking all around if the model had come out without the dog.

Well I tried to watch the video - couldnt download on my laptop, so I went searching found some credible "speculations" about the episode and what the "naughty" and who did the "naughty"

Spoiler
Click below to view spoiler
The closeup of Tim saying "rules are rules. you'll leave tonight", I Tivod the second episode, that was Keith and Jeffrey's bedroom, with the blue walls and the black headboards on the bed, he was clearly sitting on Jeffrey's bed since you could see the door molding just on the right of the screen, talking to someone to the left, i.e. in the direction of Keith's area of the room. No other bedroom had blue walls, that was definitely THEIR room. The most logical of the offences to be dealt with at the apartments, and "tonight" would be sneaking out, going to a bar, and talking too freely, and getting the boot when you returned to the apartment. Also, if the ejection had happened at Parsons, the designers would have heard something about it, perhaps heard the confrontation, and Tim wouldn't have had to gather them around, break the news about what happened "last night" and give a big speech about it being a no no. They certainly wouldn't have needed a reminder lecture if it had been falsifying their portfolio, and I doubt they thought multiple people were committing sabotage.

and here's the spoiler about the preview that is on the Bravo site (I couldnt get it to download)There apparantly is a spoiler on the challenge, and how the designers work it...

Spoiler

[[
I watched it twice and here is what I gleened.

1) They are working in teams. It looks like they are designing for someone named Laura (BUSH?) Who knows. Robert simply says about his design that 'laura liked it'.

2) Teams are of three. Teams are: Robert, Kayne, and Vincent,; Angela, Laura and Michael; Uli, Bradley and Bonnie; Keith, Jeffrey and Alison. (the last three are not shown in the preview so I can only assume.)

3) Vincent is getting on Robert's nerves; Angela is getting on Laura and Michael's nerves, where Laura says to Michael in the sewing room "...can't stop her from hanging herself" because Angela wants to put some of her in the design. What she does is make some cut out flower type things for the blazer (They look nice, too.).

Thanks to everyone for NOT putting anything in the first lines that might say who is being sent home. I absolutely hate spoilers for all shows except BB, and Project Runway is one that I love to anticipate and NOT know what is happening before it airs!

Soooo -- thanks for taking spoilers into the black box and making them easy to avoid! :-)

Found this sad story

Season three of "Project Runway" premiered on Bravo last night, but a tragic accident marred the finale of the Heidi Klum show.
Designers compete for $100,000, a car and other prizes, while their model wins a spread in Elle magazine.

Hungarian model Jia Santos (whose real name is Eliza Jakubek), 18, became one of the three finalists. But near the end of taping, she was struck by a bus while riding her bike to the show's location in the city.

"She was dragged underneath the bus," her agent, Avenue Models' Javier Hernandez, told us yesterday. "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 first words upon waking up, Hernandez tells us, were: "Am I still on 'Project Runway'?"

Santos still appears in the show, and her accident is explained during the finale. Hernandez said she was modeling to support her parents in their Hungarian village.

"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.

So does anyone know the designer that Jia Santos is connected to? I don't think I know any of the models' names yet. The one that really stands out for me is Keith's model...oh, and Kayne's model when she "worked" that Miss Universe dress, but I don't know the names yet, so can't picture her....can anyone point her out?
