Texannie, pretty amazing. The preview is interesting. They have two guests. Heidi calls out the first one. Their chuckles and expression says it is someone familiar. Someone who has been a judge and the second one their daughter, perhaps? Michael Kors comes out and the second guest is his shoe line or just one pair? They are designing youthful cocktail dresses. Uli says she is going to do a hippy dress (kiss of death for her). Laura moans about not being able to design for the Olsen twins and is shown creating a baby doll style dress but her creation on the form looks too old and Tim's brow is furrowed. So the guest they are designing for is very young.

I just recently found out I was pregnant, I am not quite 3 months and also I have not chose to tell any one yet. I can see a huge difference in my stomach when it is bare vs. covered and "tucked" in. I spend a ton of time working on it and double checking it because I am not ready to tell people. I don't have the stomach that Laura has but there is still a definite difference covered vs. bare.

I think she wore a body slimmer under the cocktail dress. You can see her with something heavier than just a slip on as she puts the dress on.

Congratulations, Tuzza! And thanks for sharing your wonderful news here first! This question was doubtless asked and answered long ago at the beginning of this season, but I am a latecomer to the series! What is written (tattooed) on Jeffrey's neck? Curious minds want to know!!

Fruit -- is that in a preview somewhere? I haven't seen it (and I *think* I've seen all the episodes so far).

Titan -- Jeff was actually asked about this by Catherine (the judge in France). It's his son's name (and maybe birthday?) and something about love forever or most important day. I'll see if I still have it on tivo.

"Harrison Detroit", his sons name and then in Italian beneath it, "the love of my life." Yes Teach. I am talking about what is going to happen next week. The preview that aired at the end of the show is also on the Bravo site. Click on videos. Prisoner, she was wearing Spanks.

LOL! I have never worn spanks but you hear about them all the time. Most on the red carpet wear them to smooth their sillouette.

Actually it is Spanx. Just in case someone tries to google, don't want you ending up on a bondage site!

LOL! Thanks Alisons, I have never seen it written. It seems like Michael and Jeffery are locks for the final 3. The judges have come to the point where their entire body of work is considered in the eliminations and I doubt either could screw up badly enough to get the boot. So the others, Uli, Laura and Kayne, all have the same problem, too narrow a focus. Who will be the third? It is all about who the judges want to see at fashion week, Miami Beach, upper east side circa 1955, or pagent street wear? Personally I vote for pagent street wear. There is so much more room for an interesting collection with this one.

THanks, Teach and MSBat! I was tired to trying to dash up to my TV to try and read what was there only to have the camera swing away each time!

Project Runway 3 designer spotted “loudly discussing [an] $8,000 budget” at Mood We’re down to the final five designers on Project Runway 3, which means that after Wednesday night’s episode, we’ll know which four designers will present collections at Fashion Week. One of those four designers’ collections won’t be shown on TV, as it’s simply a decoy collection to prevent us from learning who the final three contestants are. However, gossip column The Daily reports that one of the five designers “was overheard at Mood Fabric last week, loudly discussing [an] $8,000 budget.” That’s enough evidence for The Daily to say that person “will be involved in the show’s finale”—in addition to the fact that the person “couldn’t stop talking at the premiere party,” according to a source. That designer is Spoiler Click below to view spoiler | Laura Bennett | . The Project Runway runway show, incidentally, is scheduled for this Friday at 9 in The Promenade in Bryant Park.

Cool find Jan! I wonder what they were doing at Mood the week before they show their collection. One would think everything would be done. Oh, there may be the 13th piece to make to put them there and perhaps the talk about the budget was that someone recognised them and started the conversation. Why would they have them blow their cover by going to Mood though. Interesting! And I like that this person made it, if that is true!

What a twist this week! But it only confirmed that the eliminations of both Vincent and Angela were valid. I am so happy that Laura won this challenge and got her confidence and momentum back on track. Her dress was so pretty and elegant and she really came up with the best use of her extra fabric. Michael was a close second, his design was excellent too. Jeffrey got his hands slapped on this one, he was in the bottom two. I wasn't surprised he stayed though. Sorry that Kayne is out but as soon as I heard him say that this challenge was a black or white challenge, I thought, uh-oh, he totally missed what Heidi said. Uli did another Uli dress. I think she will be out next week unless one of the other three really mess up. So after this week I see Michael for sure in the top three and probably Laura and Jeffrey. I will be happy with Michael or Laura winning it all.

While I liked Michael's dress, I sure wouldn't call it a cocktail dress. I loved Laura's though, and thought she got a well-deserved win.

Hated the idea of having eliminated designers come back. Hated bringing back Angela more than Vincent, because at least as the last eliminated, he'd participated in all the challenges. She had not. How strange would it have been to have one of the final 3 (or even the winner) be someone who missed a challenge because they'd been eliminated. Bringing people back in is just not something I want to see in this type of show (unless it had been Robert....oh, I'm only kidding!). Soooo, it was good that neither of them won. I was worried about Kayne when I only saw him buying black fabric. I hoped we'd just not been shown the white. And, of course, since they all had to use all their own fabric, there was no chance for him to even get a scrap of white from someone else. I'd have much rather seen Uli go. I'm just tired of her. I've been tired of her designs for a while, but I've begun to find her personality grating as well. I think she's getting a really nice edit, but in some of the bonus footage, she's said/done some things that made me not like her much. Didn't really understand why using all their fabric was part of the challenge. Funny how Angela got caught trying to cheat by just putting it in the purse! The judges did not seem amused by that at all. Wanted to smack Angela when she made that comment about how in the fashion world design was important, NOT construction in response to Laura about her only challenge win being a team win. It was just something about the way she said it. As if all Laura and Michael did was the sewing... when it was the collaboration that made it a winning outfit. Without Michael and Laura there to stop her, she'd have had those rosettes all over the INC outfit, and it would have looked as bad as her other designs. (I just updated my blog with this week's PR stuff.)

I thought Laura's dress still looked old. I didn't love it, but she should be in the top 3. I LOVE Michael, have loved everything of his since the first challenge (coffee filter dress), and hope he wins!! Good points Cdbga...I also disliked bringing people back. And I forgot that Angela wanted rosettes all over those pants...LOL Laura and Michael are the reason she won that challenge...good for Laura for bringing that up! And while I generally love Uli's clothes as well, they all look the same. I see her going next week and a Michael, Jeffrey, Laura final 3.

Cdbga - I whole heartedly agree with everything you wrote! I'm glad Laura spoke up because what she said was the truth. And I am also glad there was a flashback when Angela said it was the design that mattered not the construction. You are so right about the rosettes because Angela wanted to put them all over the outfit. I also think it is funny how Jeffrey keeps talking about Laura and how all her designs are the same when the judges told him exactly the same thing on this show! A little bit of poetic justice.

That's funny Zummat, because I agreed so much with your first post that I almost didn't post this morning. Was just going to say "I agree with Zummat" and be done with it. But, of course, my love of posting about this show led me to find a few things to say! To me what sets Jeffrey and Laura apart from Uli is that while they do always work in the same aesthetic, they have shown some range in the designs themselves (they've done dresses, pants, a coat, suits), while Uli has just done the same dress in a different fabric, which is almost always a print. I am just amazed that we don't hear more criticism of that every week. I'm hoping for a Jeffrey, Michael, Laura final 3 and would be fine with any of them winning. Oh, and Tim has some funny things to say in Tim's Take this week. Regarding Angela's Edwardian Shrug he says "I thought it looked more like something you’d wear for a dislocated shoulder." Hee! I also wanted to say, but forgot to put it in my first post, the decision to bring back those eliminated seems to fly directly in the face of the "integrity" of the show that they've stressed so much this season. I also wonder if the judges (Nina and Kors) knew about it all along or found out with this challenge.

I didn't like bringing back old designers either and am glad they didn't make the cut. I loved Laura's dress but I was so nervous for her at first. I also loved Michael's dress. I liked Uli's dress itself and the pattern but not the sleeves or that fugly necklace. The rest were meh.

Aside from the sleeves - the dress uli did was a virtual match for the one she was wearing. I'm tired of the uli "I found a great print" line. Hated bringing people back. While I find Kayne amusing and will miss his sense of humor it was time to go. He totally failed instructions on this one. I was thrilled for Laura (she's my favorite)
