Allie, the winning design didn't have pants. It was the dress that had that bubbly thing sticking out on the side.

That winning dress reminds of an old grandma hat. We were looking at some fammily pics recently from the 50's & 60's and it looked like an old lady hat. There was often a bit or bunch of netting. IMO it is gawdawful ugly, how did it win? The black dress was so beautiful. I just don't get it.

I liked Leanne's and Terri's outfits the best this week. I was a little surprised at who won. I don't think the winning dress is horrible, but I certainly wouldn't have chosen it as the top design. I kind of liked the style of Keith's dress, but agree with them about not liking all of the white fabric in it. I think if he chose different color fabrics it probably would have looked much better.

I find there is something very Wizard of Oz about the winning dress, like a resident of Oz would wear it, not a witch, but one of the towns people, maybe a munchkin. I would call it costumey, but then again, I am not a judge and don't follow fashion.

I watched the episode again, and indeed Tim called it "costumey" and expressed concern when he was walking through the workroom!

No surprises with who went home tonight. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Apolo Ohno.

I'm trying hard not to read up there.. I'm GRRRing because somehow Jo and Slade is running in the spot where I was recording Project Runway and the DVR still thinks it is PR. And I have to wait for hours to hopefully get PR.

Jerrel's was the strangest, but the judges "got" it - and didnt send him home, dd kept calling him "Peter Pan" roflol - I did like Leanne's outfit, but it was in no way "Olympic" or USA!! Maybe for an after party, but not for the opening ceremony - I really thought Joe was going to win, I loved how he did the zippers and the USA, but I really did like Korto's design best - not sure how the "man's" outfit would've fit into it - but her story was very touching - - but was her outfit "Linen"? How is that going to hold up, as in, how does anyone really wear linen w/o wrinkles??? Did anyone else notice how they really barely show Stella's outfits? Tim Gunn hasnt even talked to her - she cracks me up tho, and I was surprised at how I did like her outfit/concept (I dont like the crop pants in leather tho!! and she does need to add more on top - but she does have a vision and will definately not make it to the finsh of PR - but I like her - and the previews of next week sounded like she was hammering studs again!!! lol Hope someone will capture some of those creations and bring them over!! esp Stella's!! ;)

oh and what become of the "stollen" fabric? I hate that they made a point of it - then not follow thru!! Terri made a point at Mood to say someone picked up her fabric she had laid on the counter and bought it, I think she said "that's not cool" or she was going to have to "watch him" I think she must have picked a different fabric but ???? anyone else pick up on it?

Yeah, I was looking for it--I finally realized that she used it for that frothy neck thing. I think it was Keith that wanted it, but don't remember seeing him use it--.

What I didn't like about Joe's was the long asymetrical piece in front. It almost looked like a crooked apron. Korto and Terry's designs were totally wearable, although I didn't see so much "athletic" in them. So I was confused by the judges comments. Interesting that Stella sticks to her design point of view and doesn't get called out, but Jennifer did. Although Jennifer's outfit didn't look like an outfit someone would want to wear to the opening ceremonies unless they were sitting in the stands! I'm glad they didn't show much of Suede this time. His overly arrogant way of constantly referring to himself in the third person makes we want to smack him upside the head. Totally obnoxious. (And Blayne's whining about tanning. Get over it dude.)

I'm surprised that I haven't hated Stella's designs. They are never exactly what the judges are looking for but she makes it past the eliminations. Joe's design was the most traditional and safe. The combining of the zippers was a cool idea but I thought he flubbed making the skort the front panel was off....I know in skorts the front panel is a bit longer/overlapping but in his case it just looked like he screwed up. Blyanes design wasn't bad but I think the material on the pants was too shinny and the whites clashed. But definitely worthy of continuing on. Daniel screwed up on his fabric choice and that dress reminded me of something a flight attendant would wear. He certainly should have been in the bottom. Poor Jenifer. I think the judges were right on. She's stuck in a single minded point of view. Her outfit was so pretty I can see it being in Ann Taylor stores and I can see her designing for higher end department stores. Her future in the business should be safe. Hated the ties Keith threw on and the bubble skirt is so out dated and never really took flight to begin with. He should have been in the bottom. Kellie Kellie Kellie. I automatically thought farmers wife....that's all I have to say. I adore Kenley's skirt and blouse. Although the fabric wasn't right on as far as the blue went but I definitely thought it was attractive and somewhat sophisticated. Leanne's design was so design 101. There was nothing special about it and rather dull. The collar was distracting. I liked Sude's design. It was simplistic with a flare not bad at all for my taste. Terri's design looked like she just threw things together. There was way too much going on and the top under the jacket didn't look like it fit or even belonged. The outfit looked like separates just pulled out of the closet without much thought. It doesn't mater if the jacket was made well it still looked messy. Korto's final look was very well done. It was classy and would be easy to wear I'm just a bit concerned about the whiteness of the pant I wish she would have piped blue or red somewhare on the pant are even an USA Olympic emblem on the pant pocket. Jerell- take away the hate and change the colors and it would be a hit. I didn't completely hate it and sorta understand what he was aiming for but I also think he was clueless to the Olympics. I thnk it's going to be a good season.

I thought most of them looked like airline stewardesses/attendents or whatever is the current pc term. Stella does rather amuse me but I don't care for her style nor do I think she is especially talented.

Seamonkey, I was WAY annoyed also at their inserting Jo and Slade after Sheer Genius. I am trying SO hard to avoid watching Jo and Slade, and I am forced repeatedly to get glimpses of them anyway. Boo, Bravo. I felt sorry for Daniel tonight. He seemed so out of his element; up until now he has been TERRIFIC, so I was praying hard he wouldn't go home.

i'm thinking that they put stella and blayne in the middle safe group because the producers want them to stay for dramatic effect. if they were in the bottom three, we would see just how off the designs are in comparison to the others. blayne, especially, imo, has no business being safe each week.

On a hunch, I recorded the "Jo and Slade" that showed on theDVR schedule following the Project Runway that was actually J/S and I was right, so I didn't have to wait for an even later airing to watch Project Runway last night. I just deleted the recording that turned out to be Jo and Slade.

I want someone to walk up to Blayne and say "are you ok? you look pale". LOL I think Joe's outfit would have looked better as pants, like Korto's. The top is good. Daniel always looks and acts like he's about to cry or jump out of his skin when they talk to him. Always very uncomfortable, to me.
