Pamy, I think Laura only drank champagne that first night -- she didn't find out until AFTER the show was a couple weeks in that she was pregnant. Her flippant comment rubbed me the wrong way, althought I *think* SHE thought she was being funny. One of the subs we have at school has 8 kids and she swears after 4 it gets EASIER! (No way I'm willing to try it to find out though! )

Finally got to see this week's episode: I had forgotten who won, and must admit I kept liking Jeff's outfit better and better; as someone commented on the show, it looked much more expensive than $75 (what WAS that material he used that looked like leather?); it also fit great and traveled great. And did he actually have an Eiffel Tower charm on it before they knew about Paris? I love the way Michael really listens to Tim's advice AND is able to make last-minute changes! I didn't think much of Vincent's design; liked Kayne's much better!

I loved Jeffrey's outfit, but I'm not a fan of Jeffrey himself. I thought for merit's sake, he should have won and was OK that he did. I'm a big fan of the dark, black, rock & roll, gothy esthetic, though. But that's just me. He's a pill, for sure. I was so glad that Kayne didn't go home. He's such a sweet soul and certainly has tremendous talent, even if his esthetic doesn't appeal to me. I still haven't gotten over the Alison eviction, I don't think, even though that bow was horrible. She was too good to go so quickly.

I made a special effort to look and Laura was definately drinking from a champagne glass on the plane to Paris what looked like champagne. Maybe it was something else, but definately had a champagne glass in hand Laura bugs me but other than the mother challenge I think her clothes have been great. And as much as I like Kayne the paper challenge and his own clothes were bad, if Angela had used better material think he would have been a goner Still pouting that Jeffery didn't go on the Mommy episode. I agree his outfit was perfect this time and did look expensive.

I like Laura. Her taste in clothes is too conservative for me but her strong presense and sense of humor are delightful. I assume she was drinking sparkling cider from the champage glass. That is offererd along with champage in first class. They have both bottles open pour what you request. Zummat, I agree.

I'm stunned everytime Wendy Pepper appears on screen for a runway show , why oh why didn't one of those make up artists give here a heads up on whar a terrible job she did applying make up, the woman could scare small children!

Does anyone remember last year somone had posted a link where you could buy t-shirts or tote bags wtih Tim Gunn on them? It would make a fun present for a friend of mine who will have a birthday in a couple weeks. I saw a few shirts on eBay but didn't like them. Thank you.

Beth The challenge in Paris is to design a couture gown which should be characterized by hand sewn details that are spectacular. Of course, they only have 2 days, so they are working against the clock. Catherine (?) the French hostess is there and will be judging the designs. Vincent did a very beige dress -- the top is impossible to describe -- simple v's in front and back and weird cappy sleeves. The skirt portion looked (as Uli commented) like a sofa material! A gold brocade. Michael did a pretty blue dress w/lots of "rouching"?? (SP?) He gathered all kinds of things in the bodice, but kept saying he'd never done this before and how horrible it looked. It was difficult to tell on TV what all his hand-sewn stuff looked like, but he was NOT happy with it. Jeffry went "happy" -- using two different yellow plaid-like/striped COTTON fabrics. Very trendy, but almost entirely hand sewn. Laura did a wool black basic long dress w/long sleeves. Her "courture" contribution as a HUGE lace color (deep v necklince) and huge lace wrists. Uli, breaking away from her norm, chose a solid gray/purple tone material that was gorgeous. She had some braided looking detail but the bodice was all beaded/lace and hand sewn. Kayne, being Kayne, did a gold beaded/mesh bodice w/brown velvet that had a diagonal lace up for the back. The skirt was long flowing and a combo of a beautiful golden material and a deep brown. On their way to the secret Paris "event" a man sitting on a balcony three EGGS and one of them splattered on the bottom of Michael's dress, depressing him even further b/c when the models came for their fittings, his model was much smaller than he had anticipated. The event ended up being a boat/yacht on the Seine. Catherine was there w/Tim; they toasted and then she walked around talking w/the designers and looking at their dresses. She said only positive things to all of them, and even when pressed by Vincent for a "like it or dislike it" comment, she remained diplomatic and neutral. Eventually the models did a "runway" type showing of the gowns so she could see how they moved. Her comments and scores were taken and they all finished the evening in Paris. (Posting -- part 2 coming up)

I don't know how to do a spoiler, so I'm hoping this won't catch anyone off guard but.... The challenge was to create a coteur (sp?) gown, with lots of hand done detail. They were given $350 to work with and two days. Katherine someone I don't know was the guest judge, and they had French models in the gowns on a cruise on the Seine for the judging. It was very pretty and very French. So, anyway, The winner was Jeffery again. His gown was a yellow and orange plaid (I personally hated it) but it was new, young, and different. Uli came in second - hers was very pretty, imo. Vincent was the loser - his dress was awkward and did kind of look like a couch fabric on the bottom with a glued on Rosette thingy on the back. He left graciously, and while I hated his dress, I hated to see him leave, I thought he personally had invested so much of himself and wanted this so badly. Michael (who's my favorite) didn't do a great dress - but he managed to pass on, and Laura's dress was a black wool long sleeve gown with a foofy white collar that just didn't make the trip back to the US well. It was much prettier in France. Caine's dress was kind of pagent-y (sp?) again, but it did Ok. The judges said, too much - that had he taken some of the details out, so one or two could be focussed on, it would be better. I enjoy this show, but I do wish they'd do something about that Jeffrey's mouth. He's so smarmy and hateful.

After their lovely evening, the designers and their gowns flew back to NY. They had to re-fit their dresses for their American models and do a runway. The guest judge was someone who had designed uniforms for a major airline??? (I'm not sure that's correct, I wasn't paying full attention.) Laura was VERY worried as her lace colors and wrist bands had NOT traveled well and were limp and lifeless. Michael expressed even more worry aobut the execution of his gown, and Jeffry was hoping to be the first person to ever get a WIN while having immunity. (Didn't Michael do this w/back to back wins -- or did he just win 2?) Anyway -- comments from the judges were basically this: Kayne -- skirt was gorgeous, bodice was TOO much. Uli -- gorgeous material and excellent hand work Vincent -- Nina wanted him to have the back of the top be the front b/c it fit better than the front. They didn't like the sleeves Michael -- guest judge asked him to tuck these two "rabbit ear" looking parts above the boobs IN, and all the judges said how much better the dress looked then. However, his hand sewing was NOT good. Jeffry -- they were surprised -- very happy dress, true to his style but a departure from what they've seen. Laura -- OLD. They did NOT like this dress at all. In their "private" judging session Nina questions Kayne's taste. Heidi says the dress she would wear was Uli's. End result: Jeffry WINS his second in a row, but he does NOT have immunity. Uli, Kayne, Michael are safe Laura and Vincent left as bottom two. Laura.....you're in, Vincent is gone (his dress was truly boring, not well-fitted, NOT couture, and in many senses, just plain ugly).

I really liked Uli's dress the best. I also liked Laura's dress but what do I know, I'm old too. Not sad to see Vincent gone. He was getting a little bit creepy. Plus he just plain ignored and did not answer the question when asked what was hand sewn on his dress. And his dress was just so plain and just plain ugly. Laura being pregnant and having to handle the stress may be too much for her. She said she was only 3 months pregnant, but she looks big for 3 months. Maybe she's going to have twins. Still can't stand Jeffrey's attitude and the glee he shows towards other people's suffering. Michael, Uli and Laura are still my favorites. I don't see Kayne in the final 3. Laura may not make it either.

Yep, Darellh, I totally agree. Plus it was just another way he was avoiding answering any questions about his dress.
