Anybody still watching this? I can't believe how many people on this show cannot SEW! That is just insane. How on earth can you design without knowing how garments are constructed, how certain fabrics will hang and drape, etc? I didn't like the way Daniella got treated when she pointed out that Andrew's design was basically her design. She was right. He just stood there looking perplexed while she had to feed him idea after idea so she wouldn't have a crappy garment on her team. I don't think he should have been the winner. I hope they make him team leader next week so he can just flounder on his own. Glad Marcus left tonight, I hope everybody that can't sew goes home very quickly so the others can duke it out.

Nerovh didn't you just know they were going to give him the win (sigh) I wouldn't have mined so much had he owned up to her help and said Yes wasn't that great of her or something to that effect! I got the feel he was back peddling like it was just his idea! You can be sure no one will help him again! Also I agree if they know this show how on earth did they think they could get by and not be able to sew!

I'm watching and I don't think it's that bad. I, too can't believe the poor sewing skills but I suspect they'll be gone soon.

Wasn't Andrew the team leader this week?

I think Daniella was the team leader, and that's why she was trying so hard to lead Andrew and give him ideas, so she wouldn't have a bad garment on her team. I think the part where he tood the credit bothered me so much because it showed so clearly during the show that Daniella had to baby him through the whole thing while he literally just stood there looking dumb and confused, then he didn't give her any credit at all for the final garment. No matter what Isaac and that other designer judge said about how Daniella should just keep quiet and let him take the credit, I don't really think the Project Runway judges would have handled the situation like that.

If Rocco's team had won and someone else had the winning design, do you think he would have called them out also? He basically did all the work for everyone and was still able to pull out an outfit that the judges liked the best. I don't understand the inabilty of these people not being able to sew either.

I did like the tweed coat - maybe because I could see myself wearing it. Was one of the models Shannon from last season's Make me a supermodel? Sorry if it was brought up already.

I actually thought the tweed coat should've won. I liked the fabric better and it seemed better made.

Yep ~ Tweed coat got my vote as well. I also agree that they need to start switching up the teams.

LOL I watched it - had to watch it twice tho - too many interuptions!! It was a shoe challenge, they had to design an outfit around a shoe - I just dont know the players that well - I thought hte winning design was way too short short - but it was for the runway, and it did look good!

I thought Reco's little black dress was great. I thought the shoes he had were hideous, but he did a great job on the outfit. The only other outfit I really liked was Angel's white shirt-dress. It was adorable. Most of the other stuff was just not very attractive to me. I was thrilled to see Andrew go home, and I thought it was really funny that Isaac actually brought up that he won last week with something that turned out not to be his idea or design. So even after what they told Daniella about it not mattering, I think that had some bearing on this week's decision.

I thought it was way past time Andrew went home. His dress this week only proved how much he'd been depending on others' input up to now. I loved Daniella's dress and would totally rock that dress AND those shoes! I liked Reco's little black dress but it was a wee bit too short. I hope they make it a bit longer, mid thigh, when they put it on Bravo. Angel's white shirtdress was cute and totally borrowed from last week's challenge (the coat with a "surprise"). Although, I think the normal person might have problems wearing it since she did say she pinned it up. I mean, can YOU pin up something that's halfway behind you, by yourself? I'm limber but I ain't THAT limber! Lidia's dress, also, was horrid. Might not have been so bad without that netting on the front. Even if she criss crossed something, it wouldn't have worked!

Thanks, Costa! Even thought the time may not be the same, it helps a lot to know which day to scan -

I watched too, but I don't know the designers hardly at all. It's no Project Runway, but it'll do since ER is no longer on.

The challenges at least have been interesting. (I thought "Project Runway" scraped the bottom of the barrel in the season they had their designers create dresses out of old auto parts and seat belts). And I very much like that the runway show at the end is held in front of real people, many of whom appear to be industry insiders. Unfortunately (although Isaac Mizrahi is as interesting a host as Heidi Klum), sidekick Kelly Rowland is no Tim Gunn.

I really disliked a number of the first challenges, a lot of that based on the team aspect. But I also disliked that the coats they designed had to have a gimmick built in. Would have thought that designing coats and have them fit a team theme would have been enough. This week was much better with the individual challenges. They evidently don't get immunity with their win--just the ability to have their item sold online. Otherwise, Andrew could not have been eliminated this week. Which reminds me, another thing I dislike about the team aspect of the first weeks, is that the best designer doesn't necessarily win, because the winning designer has to come from the winning team. Isaac actually admitted that in one challenge; they would have given the design win to someone else, if not for team aspect.

Yes, I saw Luann. Actually, I liked the best the dress that she liked (the one w/the red ruffle front). I was afraid Luann might be one of the judges, but fortunately not.
