LuAnn was flashed during an audience view but she also was interviewed as to what she liked of the show. All three of them in the bottom created horrible dresses. I'm not sure I see what the judges see in Merlin, because his last two outfits have been atrocities. Angel seems to have a problem with construction. And poor Keith had a great idea but couldn't come thru when needed.

I think they see in Merlin is drama - and since all the outfits were atrocious, they just eliminated the boring guy. and you had to laugh when he pointed out Merlin gave the model a "pooch" she grabbed her tummy area in horror!! LOL

I just wish this show would let Isaac be more Isaac. I used to love his talk show, but this show makes him behave a bit too much and he's lost his effervescence. The production values on the runway part of it, and the segments where the judges discussing the garments, are just deplorable.

This show is a total yawn. I wished that I had read a book instead.

Is there any way that the pictures of the contestants could be put up? I can't remember who is who (well, I know who Merlin is.)

I was glad that Daniella put Angel in the bottom instead of going for something personal and putting Merlin in the bottom. Any outfit where you can see as many pins as Angel's had showing deserved a place in the bottom. I couldn't have blamed Daniella if she had sent Merlin because he has been such a jerk to her, but I was glad to see her not make it personal. Once again, I loved Reco's design. That girl looked fabulous in the red ruffled shirt ensemble. I liked it when Reco just shrugged off making a garment for a "real-size" person because he said he makes clothes for his female relatives all the time. James-Paul really lost any liking I had for him when he said asking him to make a garment for one of these "big" women was like asking Jesus to work with Satan. I didn't really take Daniella's problems with making larger clothes as being "sizest", it just seemed that she was more concerned about the technical aspect of doing something she had never done, plus her "model" gave her absolutely NO guidance at all. So far, Daniella and Reco are by far my favorites.

I think Kelly is what brings Isaac down... he has to go down to her level. She should just be eliminated and let him host alone. And yup, I laughed when Merlin's model grabbed her "pooch"! I saw that on the runway and thought "poor thing, I wonder if she knows what her sideways silhouette looks like?" I actually liked Daniella's better than Reco's. I didn't like all the ruffles (so 80's). I also agree that I didn't think she was size-ist at all. I think she was having a hard time getting inspired to do something, and there wasn't just one area in which to hide with her model. Her model was an absolute yawn to boot, and I think anyone would've had a hard time getting inspired. The fact that she pulled out an awesome coat and dress (and I do love navy and black) actually proved her worth (and I hope Kelly realizes that). I gave Daniella kudos for picking someone other than Merlin to put in the bottom (turns out it was a good choice anyways cuz Angel's dress was awful). Then again, Merlin's was so gawdawful fitting that she hadda know he'd be in the bottom anyways! James-Paul seems to be a snob. Or size-ist as Isaac put it. Yeah, turns out I just don't like Kelly Rowland as a host. Who said there has to be a male and female host for these things? She's useless and I don't see where she's ever been associated as a style maven.

Merlin choosing a moire pattern for a tight fitting skirt and using it to minimize figure flaws? I'm just a hack and I know that you don't use shiny or moire to make someone look slim! One of the Detestants(designer contestants? ) other than Merlin had pleats in front of the skirt creating a belly! So far, Project Runway has had a far more accomplished group of contestants than The Fashion Show.

Finally watched this earlier this morning. It is interesting how this show makes me feel. The obvious is that it makes me want Project Runway but I am not ready to turn it off either. The two top designers or the ones that seem to be in the running are Reco and Daniella. What is interesting to me is that I don't want to like Reco's clothes because he seems so rude and over the top. But, I do like his clothes. Daniella, I love her clothes so I really want to like her, but there is just something there that holds me back. She just rubs me the wrong way at this point. Looks like some explosions next week

Stacey, you said it exactly right. Reco makes gorgeous clothes, but it's hard to appreciate his talent because he is hard to like. I keep my husband laughing because every time Reco starts to undermine Daniella's confidence I start to talk to the TV! LOL! Telling Reco that he needs to stop attacking the other designers. If he can't win because his skill and ability gets him there, he needs to go home. For some reason Reco doesn't hear me!!! I need to turn up the volume on my TV. (really, I'm kidding!)

Yeah, I told Reco the other day to try a smidge of humility so we could like him better, but he didn't hear me either. Probably because he was too busy running his own mouth to listen to us lol. "Size-ist". Thank you! I knew my spelling didn't look good, but I couldn't figure out a better way to spell it!

He doesn't listen to you either?!? He must not know who he is dealing with. He better settle down or we'll make him work for Amish people. Simple, purposely fashion backward, with high necklines and low hemlines!

Danielle's Coat Dress ensemble is available at Bravo.com for $325. Just thought I'd put that out there. LOL

sure, I miss Tim, but i like the fact that they are supposed to be doing WEARABLE clothes. I don't watch cooking shows to see the chefs make things out of unedible items just to see how creative and talented they are.

Ditto to what Stacey said above about the conflicting feelings towards Reco and Daniella. Add John Paul to that list for me as well. I like Isaac as a host and I like the way they do the runway but I don't feel the designs are on the level of Project Runway at all. I don't know if that's because of the contestants or less time to create or bad lighting but they all just look very cheap to me. Must be the lighting ~

I also wanted to add that if you go to Bravo's website, it's hard to even find this show on the front page as they're so busy shoving housewives down our throat.

I thought the show was somewhat better last night. Lots of good looks IMO, but I thought the wrong person went home. I still wish the show had more Isaac and, really, I wish he would give the designers the kind of critique to their face he gives to Kelly when they meet up after they have looked at the designs. I want him to be more of a manic version of Tim Gunn, I guess, instead of whatever role they have made for him in this show.

I love Merlin, he is such a character. I laughed when he won and said how delicious it was to see Recco and Daniella's face. I also like Recco, Daniella not so much.

I didn't get it when Kelly said that it was "almost offensive" that the one designer did not know what a hip hop look was. I mean, I know what hip hop SOUNDS like, but I wasn't aware that there was a uniform, LOL!

I thought the judges were downright mean to Angel re not knowing what a "B-girl" would wear. They kept ripping her apart for it again and again. And yet I myself did not know what "B-girl" stood for (I thought originally maybe it was the same as "mean girl", with the B standing for "that word" that I don't want to say). And I still don't know what the "B" in B-girl stand for. As for hip hop, the only reason I would have any idea is because of watching "So you think you can dance". Otherwise I wouldn't have a clue. Again, shame on judges for being so "offensive" themselves. I still can not really get into this show. I forget that it's on, and only by chance did I see the whole thing last night.

I am liking that Reco and Daniella appear to go head to head next week. They are too much ego alone but together it is over the top. I think it was ignorant not to send Johnny and fringe jock pants home. Give me a break.

Man, Johnny's outfit was just awful. It was very, very clear that he really didn't care if he went home or not and this is not the first time he has shown that atitude. I think he should have gone home instead of Angel. I need to look up "hip-hop fashion" on google or something because I can't really think of a particular "look" for hip-hop girls. Apparently it's not as easy as the judges think, because Kenley really bombed her hip-hop outfit on Project Runway, too lol.
