Well, I obviously know nothing about fashion, because I hated Uli's dress. It just looked like a tennis dress or skating dress to me. In a challenge where the design is supposed to show their point of view as a designer, I don't understand criticism that they did the same thing they always do. Seems to me that would be just the time to do what you always do, as doing something different wouldn't show who YOU were as a designer. I also think we have seen some different things from Laura. But maybe the judges can't remember back to the earlier designs. Nothing really to say about Jeffrey and Michael's. They both missed the mark. Since we weren't getting rid of Uli, I was glad to see a Final 4. Am looking forward to the reunion next week. It will be nice to see Kayne and Robert again. I definitely missed Kayne this week. (My blog has been updated)

It looked like some sparks are going to fly during the reunion. At least, by the preview clips.

I didn't like Jeffrey's dress at all. Loved Laura's. I think if Michael had done that lil basket weave for the whole top of the dress then it would've been on point. It was gaping a lil too much but it was nice. Uli's dress was ok but typical Uli to me. I was glad that they didn't cut anyone though.

Hated Jeffrey's dress (but I've hated most of his stuff). Like Uli's and Laura's dresses. Could never wear anything Laura designed, but Uli is true to her vision - can't fault her for that. Michael does best with sports wear, that is true. Stick to what you know is a good idea (I was very worried about that huge keyhole in front - double stick tape should not have to come standard with any dress). 'squeek'

Jeffrey's dress looked like her was channeling Austin Scarlet.

That'a funny but I thought Jeffrey's dress look like he was channeling Andrea. And I like when he gets reamed out by the judges - pay back baby. I loved Laura's dress even if it was "typical" Laura. Her construction and attention to detail is flawless. Well, except for that one dress that looke like an airline uniform. This was Uli's best dress I thought. Micheal could have done better.

Does anyone know when I can next catch Wednesday's episode? I'm finally near a cable TV set, but with no schedule for Bravo (and I don't find their site "user friendly" like so many). I think it probably will be on Saturday, but does anyone know when (EST)?

The real winner of Project Runway should be Nazri. I think she has won more challenges than anyone else. Is it a coincidence that everyone's clothes look better on her?

I thought Jeffrey's dress looked like it belong on Heidi. Heidi of the Alps, not Heidi the host of the show. and not Heidi in a good way. I've not really liked much of what he's done, but what the heck was he thinking? The last fashion show and he wants to show his softer side? How is that telling a story about him? When did he show romance? Um, never! (And never mind all the snarky comments he comes up with.) I really hope he doesn't win this season... I'm not sure the world is big enuf for his ego. <grin> I liked Uli's and Laura's dresses. They stayed true to who they are and what they've done. And that tells a story. I would definitely wear either of those dresses. Poor Michael. He had a lot of potential in that dress, but he missed totally. He does do better with sportswear, but he could've done a good job had he finished the top of that dress. (Then again, I thought the weaving in the bottom half made the dress a bit "bumpy" and since his model is so thin, I doubt it was her bumps that showed!) Can't wait for the reunion show. Looks like there are still some hard feelings from the contestants.

I missed the beginning of the episode so I didn't hear the instructions about the challenge, but what I got from the runway judging was confusing. Apparantly the judges wanted the designers to shock them, but those that did do something different got penalized? I'm confused...

I agree, Chalupa. The instructions seemed contradictory to the judges' expectations. They said they wanted them to tell a story with their outfit and come up with three words that describe their style (or vision or whatever word they used) and have it all tie in together. So they wanted something different but the same that represented who they are without being anything like what they have done but still remaining "true to themselves". Or something.

I thought Uli nailed the judges instructions , she did a different designfor her but used the material that is Uli signature I would like it if they mixed it up and alternating the models picking the designers vise versa I think overall this year has had the best clothes of all the other seasons. Great designers.

"Runway" Sews Up Another Scandal Tuesday October 3 5:47 PM ET By Gina Serpe - Yahoo! TV Entertainment News & Gossip It's all right there in the tagline: Heidi Klum cuts, the designers sew. Except, of course, when it seems the designers don't actually sew and instead outsource the production of their garments to hired hands, as is the allegation among contestants heading into Project Runway's third-season finale. The accusations of cheating are the second demi-scandal to hit the catwalk this season, and were leveled at final four contestant Jeffrey Sebelia by fellow designer Laura Bennett. Last month, the four remaining wannabes--Sebelia, Bennett, Michael Knight and Uli Herzner--showed their collections at New York Fashion Week, at which point Bennett, a red-headed mother of five, accused the rock 'n' roll designer of cheating by obtaining outside help to stitch together his frocks. According to New York Magazine, the accusations came about after the two designers' mothers became friendly during the months in which the final four were no longer being filmed and instead were working on their collections. During those months, Parsons School of Design fashion chair, Project Runway designer mentor, and all-around scene-stealer Tim Gunn visited each designer to check up on the progress. It apparently got back to Bennett, via the mother grapevine, that Gunn told Sebelia he "had a lot of work to do." Three weeks later, the foursome reconvened at Bryant Park, at which point Sebelia's collection was, in Bennett's eyes, suspiciously well made, especially considering his signature deconstructed style and the condensed amount of time he had to turn the collection around, leading her to accuse the 36-year-old of calling in extra hands, a violation of the show's rules that could lead to disqualification if proved true. "We took the accusation very seriously, and we did a very intense and thorough investigation," Gunn told New York Magazine, declining to reveal the verdict of the so-called scandal and thus potentially spoil the season-ender. "His collection was very ambitious," he added. "I wasn't born yesterday." For his part, Sebelia has lashed out at the allegations--and those who reported on them--in a posting to his MySpace page, after a commenter brought up the rumors. "Thanks for your concern," Sebeilia wrote. "But all I have to say is be careful of what you read and also of what is presented in the press. "Those people take any information they get (usually unfounded rumors) and just print them in order to bolster their own readership with no regard to the person they might be slandering. "They are just doing their job as bottom feeding, sludge dredging, no-life having journalists." We'll take that as a denial. Should Sebelia, who has run the successful clothing line Cosa Nostra out of Los Angeles for several years, be found guilty of cheating, it would be the second such instance of designer subterfuge this season. Just a week after the season premiere became the most watched show in Bravo's history, eagle-eyed fans took to Internet message boards, opining on how the designs contestant Keith Michael submitted in order to earn his spot on the show bore a striking resemblance to fashions from established designers' recent collections. And they had the screen grabs to prove it. The early frontrunner defended the submission as a "a research assignment" and claimed he never presented the designs as his own work. Regardless, it was soon moot as he was kicked off several episodes later for breaking the show's rules by being in possession of design books, a definite no-no. He got the boot after being ratted out by fellow competitor Kayne Gillespie. "The kind of sad part is that I never used those books to give myself any unfair advantage," Michael said at the time. "I am disappointed. I would have made it to the end, I'm pretty sure." Project Runway's reunion special airs this Wednesday, with the two-part finale taking place Oct. 11 and 18.

LOL Alison... And I don't think Uli did anything too different. Yes different style dress, but another damn pattern. What would have been shocking would have been if she had gone with a solid color. And as gorgeous as Laura's dress was, I think she owns one similar to that and has worn it on the show before. Everything from her looks the same to me... I'm excited about the reunion tonight!

Where does one go to buy double stick tape for a dress? Does the clothing store stock it, or does one need to go to a hardware store? It sounds painful to me, either way, at the end of the night. I just wish they would design some dresses that a person w/ at least a C cup could wear and w/ out the tape.

Keith strongly implied that he was set up (Bitter? Party of one? Your table's ready). Vincent thinks everyone else there was an amateur. Laura called him delusional.

They addressed the Jeffrey/Angela's mother thing. Jeffrey is unrepentent, Laura thinks he had a difficult situation to work with, Robert thinks you just don't talk to clients like that. He never apologized to Angela's mother. They had a clip of Vincent freaking out over his laundry. Apparently some shirts were washed by production that he didn't want to have washed. He *really* flipped over it, asking for a plane ticket home...all over a $125 shirt that was fluffed and folded.
