I'm in the process of creating a Banner for the show, but since I've never watched the show myself, I need some help understanding how it works. Who should the Banner be of – The Designers, The Models or both? Is a Model and a Designer eliminated on each show? Are the Designers the Contestants that should be appearing in the Banner? Thanks!

Just the designers. The models do get eliminated, but to be honest, their focus on the show is secondary to the work of the designers. Thanks, Jimmer!

That might make a fun secondary show. Maybe a half-hour show from the models' point of view.

yeah but that is what america's next top model is all about so I don't think they want any highlighting of the models. I think the model incentive is just to make sure the models appear on time and do a good job.

Jan, I was picturing them talking about the designers and the clothes that they must wear.

Spoiler Click below to view spoiler | Argh! Keith is booted for having pattern how-to books. The competition is in teams of three. I thought they would not auf someone since Keith was gone, but Bonnie is booted, and Angela wins |

Before any spoilers, I just have to comment on Heidi's comment for next week's show. She says an outfit "just looks cheap" as she sits there in a blouse that barely covers her nipples (It's a V-Neck to her rib cage! LOL). Maybe there's a distinction between "cheap" and "easy" so I'll just have to watch next week to which kind of "cheap" the outfit is. Spoilers: Teams had to present sketches to Macy's INC line. It was to be a three-piece outfit. Four people won (Angela, Robert, Keith and Bonnie) and they each picked two people to help. Keith was eliminated because he had broken 3 rules: 1. He had fashion "how-to" books w/him -- strictly against the rules. 2. He left the set (not shown) 3. He used the Internet (not shown) Alison and Jeffrey were on his team and they "carried on" and ended up in the top two. The other top design of the night was ANGELA's! She worked w/Laura and Michael, and the outfit ended up winning. Bonnie was sent home and Robert's team was also in the bottom. They said both of their designs were not hip enough, looked to "old," and in Bonnie's case was too "last year."

Question - since the show is done on the East coast, it wasn't necessary for me to use the black spoiler box was it? I just noticed that Darrel was posting at the same time and use it. Arrrggghhh -- hope I didn't spoil it for someone who didn't want it "spoiled." I know w/BB everything is fair game, but does that same "rule of thumb" work here? I went w/how the Survivor thread runs.

Really interesting re Vera Wang and Kate Spade designing for Barbie! And Jimmer, thanks for working on banner...yes, the designers are the primary contestants. The secondary model piece always feels so "muddled"; they really are not voted off for themselves, just at the mercy of what happens to their designer. I feel so sorry for Keith's model: I guess he had no thought for her when he so blatantly flouted the rules. And she's terrific! I wish someone else would claim her, and yet I hate it when someone abandons their model (fortunately rarely happens). Did you see how dismayed Keith's model was when she said---"So there are only the two of you?". Thought it was odd that Angela's model didn't take her jacket off on the runway--in fact they almost missed the opportunity even in the "discussion" portion to show that great lining; also Bonnie's model didn't take off HER jacket either, wonder what was up with that!? Wouldn't the model know to do that even if the designer forgot?

I did a lot of modeling in HS and college, and the models do exactly what the show "setter" (organizer) tells them to do, meaning it is not up to them whether they take off jackets or anything else. Granted that has been a LOT of years ago, maybe not all that much has changed on the runway. The very worst was wearing shoes that were a couple of sizes too small because nothing in my size "went" with the outfit! Another gripe was that I was too short (and in my day 5'7" was TALL) to wear the "good stuff" and was stuck with lingerie and sportswear! Then in my Senior year in college I got fired for cutting my (platinum blond) hair!

Amendment to what I said above about "Keith's model"!! I had missed the part at the beginning where a lot of them switched up models! However, it still meant that Keith's behavior cost not only him but his current model! I just don't think it was in Keith to play by the rules; in watching my tape of the show I noticed that when he asked the fabric store to make a little adjustment on his bill, it went down from $98 to $80...so he cheated there too on the $100 maximum (he still planned to buy thread and maybe other stuff to fill out that $100). I wonder if by any chance he WANTED to get kicked off so that he could always say he COULD have won? He did get exposure from this in any case. I for one am glad he's gone.

I won't miss his arrogance, but I have to wonder..if he brought the books with him, how come Kayne just now saw them?

They were under his bed. I also got the impression that it was a series of rules flauntings that got to the other designers, and the books were just the most blatant and clearly against the rules.
