If it ends up that the worst thing Jeffrey did was sending out 2 pieces for pleating, would that be considered breaking the rules?

No, Grooch. Santino sent out the fabric he used for two dresses and had them pleated. He even said it to Tim, when Tim came to see him.

From a previous post: "But if it's so easy to have your collection completely finished why is Jeffery the first one in all 3 seasons to have done so? Every other finalist has come back with something that need to be finished." Well, in season one they would not have had any indication that there would be another piece to do, so they probably thought that they had several more days to work. You know how that is, 'work expands to fit the time alloted.' Secondly, depending on how a garment is made, you might not want to complete something until you do the final fitting because you would just be ripping something out and resewing. If you really want your work to look tailored, I would imagine that you would do it that way. That would just depend on the design of the garment and whether it made sense to do it that way. Also, in past years some of the designers were less experienced and really struggled over putting together a cohesive collection. This is not the first time that Jeffrey has put something of this magnitude together, plus he probably saw the first two seasons, so I would not be surprised if he knew from the very beginning what he would put together as his collection if he made it that far. If you do not have to spend time agonizing on how to put together a collection and already have that figured out (along with fabric ideas, etc.) you are going to be able to get going very quickly. I think that is where someone like Jeffrey really has the advantage over Michael, who seems like he wasted a lot of his first month just trying to figure out what he was going to do. Anyway, any designer on this show in the future should now know to come with everything done, just because it so freaked out the other contestants!

Brandy Finds Love with 'Project Runway' Star R&B star and "America's Got Talent" judge Brandy has found love with "Project Runway" finalist Michael Knight. The singer met Knight, who is an aspiring fashion designer, while she was promoting her reality series in his hometown of Atlanta, Ga. The couple hit it off after being introduced by an industry acquaintance. The Los Angeles-based singer even flew to New York City and sat in the front row at Knight's recent New York Fashion Week show. A source close to the singer says, "He's the perfect gentleman and has really won her affection." http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=7&entry_id=9801

When they come to the show, they haveto fit the models, so it would be work doen twice if they finish all the hems and the buttons that would probably have to move. Some in place, yes, all - eh....... The project consisted of designing a line, not just a few outfits. Three has to be a theme, and something connecting them. I suppose they can come into this show with the line thought out. I can actually see Laura going into the show with a line designed, the others, not so much. I was also sure that the time frame was 6 weeks, not two months. Guess I have to go back and check. The issue is made more serious in the way the Jeffrey has more resources than all the rest.

Oh my gosh you guys! I have enjoyed EVERYONE'S posts! It is so nice to see a well rounded discussion/debate. Jeffrey's responses struck me differently. I thought that he seemed incredulous that he was being questioned that he was capable of finishing a garment. I felt the exact same way! And I'm not just saying that because I am the world's biggest Jeffrey fan! Even my sister who dislikes Jeffrey thought that he seemed surprised. I do think that Laura may have been a little jealous. I'm glad that someone brought up the difference in their households. I think it has a major impact on how much work they were able to get done. I'm sorry but with 5 kids to take care of you should not expect to be able to get as much done as someone with ONE little one and a whole separate workspace. OH, AND I'm sure her being pregnant slowed her down quite a bit. It would not have been easy or even possible for her to work very long hours standing on her feet! So how I feel about the cheating situation....I really do agree with Jami here: He had such a great space to work. It appeared that he had all the top of the line gadgets that really save time. He probably stayed at his shop 18 hours a day. Gosh I agree with SO MANY posts!!!! LOL I do think that Laura making an accusation like that on a "hunch" is really ridiculous, though. I DO wish that she she would have had more to go on before she spoke. But I also believe that if Laura really thought the situation was fishy she had every right to bring it up. NOW, all this talk about who 'needs it the most' IS CRAP. Any reality TV I watch, I always want the person who played the best to win! This is so OT , but anyone watch the survivor with Johnny Fairplay? At the final two Probst did a hand count of who would have actually given him the win had he made it to the final two, a lot of hands went up. I agreed that he should have won (had he made it!) I severely dislike him and his tactics but he played hard, 'outwitted' even us TV watchers, and did anything he needed to. I RESPECT gameplay like that! So whoever in PR goes 'all out' with the best designs, craftmenship and innovation should win! If that is the richest person there than SO BE IT!!! They DESERVE to win because of their skill. Remember this is a skill contest! p.s. Darn you people!!! LOL Now I KNOW that Jeffrey ISN'T going to win!!! On the first season Kara was a shoe-in (sp?) to win. She had done great all season, had a very strong runway collection, and most of the former contestants picked her as the best. BUT SHE LOST!! So the more you people say that Jeffrey is going to win, he will probably lose!!! HUMPH!!! Stop that! I totally this post by Alisons: I was not a big Jeffrey fan through the show but NOW I want him to win. LMAO!!!

I don't know who will win, but I've always been a big fan of Michael for his personality, skills and unassuming confidence -- and Jeffrey for his style and esthetic. Out of all the designers there, my partner and I choose to wear more clothes out of the "Jeffrey" esthetic. (though in my professional life I'm probably more Laura LOL). In fact, we've checked out his Cosa Nostra line here. (Yes, I'm wearing all black as I type this LOL). Jeffrey's recycled dress with the trompe l'oiel belt was my favorite piece of the entire season - and he didn't win for it! I'd have worn that dress. Unless it was raining. LOL. That said, I see the beauty and skill and talent in Laura and Ulis's designs, too. I don't have any idea who will win this, and I honestly can say I think any of them will deserve it. I'll be happy any way. I will, however, keep an eye out in the future for whatever Jeffrey and Michael are doing.

I think Laura did the right thing. She quite clearly said she had nothing to back up her hunch. I tried to replay Tim's final comment, right before Jeffrey broke into tears and Uli hugged him. It sounded like he said "unfortunately" but I could quite get it. I also think that having two months, at home, doesn't necessarily mean you have all that much more time. While filming the show in NYC, the contestants are basically "captive" with no distractions. Once home, it's likely they are not going to have the same amount of time to work on clothing, each and every day. And don't forget that it's not just the production of the clothing. They had to design, shop for material, shop for accessories. And I don't think they were limited to one fabric store or one "room" a la the "Macy's Accessories Room." So extrapolating out that they did this number of designs in that amount of time on the show, but they had ever so much more time during the two months, doesn't quite compute, to me.

Am I the only one who thinks that Tim's "unfortunately" comment and Jeffrey's tears are NOT connected? I think this is a pretty piece of editing designed to make us think that something will happen when it won't. I'm almost willing to bet that Jeffrey's tears are because he's been vindicated. (If I'm wrong -- that's why I'm not willing to REALLY bet! LOL)

Does anyone know the schedule for the showing of episodes on Bravo today Saturday? It looks like they're doing a marathon, and I am trying to figure out when this Wednesday's latest episode will fit in, because I haven't seen it yet. Looks like it will air later than the 7 PM slot that the wed show usually takes.

Something tells me the producers were more then a little happy to prod Laura into bringing up her concerns for the drama it added to the end of this show. I'm looking forward to seeing the 'real' editing of why Jeffrey is crying. I can't stand the guy but I have had to admit that since the beginning, I have felt he deserves to be there in the final four. I love Laura's dresses for their elegance. I thought her husband fit her and her lifestyle very well. Something tells me their kids watch very little tv and that a nanny and housekeeper have always been in place to help give Laura the time she needed for her career. I love both Michael and Uli to death but admit that I only really like about every 5th outfit or so of their final showing. So my prediction is that it will come down to between Laura and Jeffrey in the end - hence the playing up of the 'scandal' for dramatic effect! And lastly, I would like to whine about feeling like this finale has been too dragged out. Maybe it's because fashion week was so long ago that I just feel like this should have been over by now. But I'll be patient till Wednesday and not peek at the winner! PS ~ Looking forward to Top Chef!

CNN morning news had an article about larger families today and it featured Laura. (The picture accompanying the article, however, was another mom.) Here's the link: http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/parenting/10/13/large.families.ap/index.html

Thanks for that link teach - I read that 3 kids in a family is the "new 2" (as in most people used to have 2 kids - 2 parents, now 2 parents with 3 kids is on the rise - hah, I had no idea I was in a "trend" with "3 being the new 2"!! lol Now it seems the bigger larger family is "increasing".... my opinion, it sure is hard when the parents are out numbered by the kids!!

OK, Meggie shared the spoiler with me. So I'll go ahead and post it with the following warning... Please do NOT comment on the spoiler unless you do so inside of a spoiler tag. To do a spoiler tag, type spoiler \ {your text here} (but delete the spaces in the tag before the left curly brace). Any comments about the outcome of the show without being inside a spoiler tag are sure to upset those who don't wanna know. <grin> That said...
