Jan, you don't have to watch on a iPod. I think if you download iTunes from Apple.com, you can set up an account and purchase things to watch on your computer, whether you have an iPod or not. The only thing, though -- I set up my account while on a U.S. ISP and with my U.S. credit card, so I have access to the U.S. iTunes. I think Canada setups get different shows -- depending on where the show is licensed. So I don't know for sure, but perhaps since PR isn't airing in Canada yet, it's not available for purchase by Canadians. (I dunno, but just a warning!)

oh no Jan - watch out you will be addicted!! I just watched the rerun, and still cant get all their names straight!! I was trying to figure out which designer had the model in the spoiler - I"m thinking it is the guy with tatoos? With the entrance of feathers everywhere coming out of the sleeves??? That was funny - I have to agree, the level of talent this year is wow - of course many of them are getting paid as designers!! I thought I liked the "pageant designer guy" but he sure was featured quite a bit - maybe he's good at sound bites? (from pageant experience?) So glad I have someone to talk with about my fav addictions!!

I have to figure out how to do links - (eta it worked this time!! I did cut and paste the whole interview, but wanted to include the link just the same) I think I mentioned earlier that Heidi Klum on Regis did say one of the designers had to be let go because he did something "naughty" here's a link to "celebrity spider" where she says - Interview The stunner refuses to go into details as she wants fans of the third series, which began last night (12JUL06) in America, to watch and figure it out for themselves. She says, "One person was really doing something very naughty and he has to actually go earlier. It was something really, really bad. "I can't really say (what it was) because it's not, like, in the beginning... It will be a few weeks down the line. I can't give it away yet... It was not good

Malans accent reminds me of Ren and Stimpy. I want him to say he is going to take over the world and all would be good!

Come and play with me. Who gets booted and what did they do? I am avoiding cleaning and the HG's are sleeping. I need your support in my effort. It must be a guy. Heidi is using the word naughty but it must be more than that innocent word implies since she adds "really, really bad." Okay, it was sexual. Perhaps a model was involved or a gay contestant got raunchy with a fellow competitor? Who? Vincent Nah. He is married with kids and just does not appear the type to step out of line. Kayne. No. Spoiler Click below to view spoiler | It is likely he makes it to the final 3 due to the model spoiler. | Robert. NO. His character and integrity are already very apparent. Bradley. No. I am not getting anything but good vibes from him. Malan. No, he considers himself refined and is already appalled at some very normal behavior from the others. Jeffery. Yes. It has to be this pompous loose cannon. Anyone who has Detroit tattooed on his neck (I am from that area and it is the last word I would permantly etch on my body) is suspect. This is good because reading his neck is a pain in the ass. I paused the Tivo many times and was unable to get it. So what did he do? Timm has them gathered in the sewing room and informs them it is against the rules. Against the rules means it is listed somewhere in the contract or elsewhere. So it isn't something they thought could never happen. Any ideas? I believe he mistreated a model in some way.

Or brought designs with them all measured and figured? Brought part of a garment premade? Brought pieces all cut and ready to go? Maybe it isnt sexual at all. It could be a woman who has done this.

Maybe just coming with sketches is enough or pictures from fashion mags for inspiration. We have to assume Heidi and the promo is blowing this up a bit, too. "Really, really bad" is likely to have us scratching our heads and thinking it is not a big deal and curious about why it is against the rules.

Maybe whoever it is took some material or supplies of another contestant -- or they stole someone's design from their sketches for the runway show?

Here I sit in a wife beater and bikini underpants, I slept in them, trying to get conversations going to avoid cleaning; it is almost 3:30pm. It is HOT I am serious about not doing anything productive today. MrBat keeps checking in by phone to see how I am doing. I answer it, breathless with tales of moving furniture. Texannie rallied there, but left me. Welcome TEACH! Perhaps. Wendy Pepper took Kara San's fabric from the table at Mood and that was not punished. I dont think they would do that. Too easy to get caught. They are there to please the judges and this would not do it. The judges hold their fate, they know that, no matter what bravado surfaces in diary talks. All of them hunger for Fashion Week. This is really the biggest prize any reality show offers. It is huge. Since it is billed as dramatic I have taken several steps back to look at not so dramatic or blatantly obvious. I think it riled the other contestants, who told or complained. It must be some prep that would give them an advantage. And perhaps something the offender thought would side by or just didn't get. And just for the record, Mrbat likes the wife beater and bikinis and has no problem with me being a slacker. It is I, who feels the need to produce. }

we have to remember it's bad enough to ask the person to leave the show.

Good point. There is definately THAT! Has to be cheating on design concepts or disrespecting a model. In general catagories, what else?

Are they allowed to have contact with family during the taping of the show? That was an issue on Last Comic Standing that resulted in a contestant being asked to leave. 'squeek'

On Tim Gunn's first episode podcast, he makes mention of someone hiding/stealing a bunch of the bobbins at the first challenge (or maybe two). He says it was so peculiar, that Parsons knew the bobbins were there before the challenge, and he thought it had to have been done by a designer. Since this wasn't in the show, I find it interesting that he brought it up in the podcast, now that the above has come to light. Perhaps there's something there... (?)

Yes Tim did say later that he had not reviewed the final cut of the TV episode before he made his podcast so he wasn't sure what was in the show when he spoke! So that could be it. Maybe they are saving it all for a later episode or maybe the designer does something even worse like wrecks someones design??

LOL no Yankee - actually I read his blog online  that's where he said it if I remember correctly (course that's no given with my memory) ...so off I go to check it out at THE SITE ah yes - here it is: To those of you who read the blog and also listen to the podcasts (first, thank you!), please note my episode one podcast disclaimer: I had not seen a rough cut of the show as of that recording, so all of my babble was exclusively from memory. As of this writing, I’ve seen a rough cut, my memory is jarred into position, and I’m STUNNED about all that escaped me when making that recording. I’d like to promise that it won’t happen again, but one never knows. It’s times like this when I invoke “make it work” to myself!

If you go to the Bravo site, you can listen to the podcast right on your computer. It will open in Quicktime. There isn't any way a contestant can work beyond the time limit is there? They all leave -- right? That would be someting that would be seriously unfair and call for elimination. Hmmm -- I'm having a hard time comgin up with anything else. Must be the weekend and our brains are just plain fried from this heat! I'm in a wife beater too, but there are shorts on (as my rear has not fit into a bikini in about 8 years! LOL) My most productive thing -- folded one load of laundry today. Yup -- you'd think I'd be able to come up w/more ideas given my lack of ambition in other areas, wouldn't you?
