Who was the bowling ball? Was that the one that was like "baby on board"?

I agree about the women designers. The three in the top 3 (long dress, "nightgown" dress, winner) plus the two-toned blue number shown last... I'd wear any of those four dresses. They were pretty, well constructed, and beautiful.

OK, am I the only one that thought the egg carrier top wasn't that bad and dare I say it I might have worn it when I was preggers all those years ago. I thought it was cute in a right in your face sort of way. Mitchell is very lucky to still be there. He doesn't seem to have talent in design or technical skills. While a pair of shorts and top are comfy and cute these shorts and top he made were bland and not made well. Given his showing last week I am floored they kept him.....for shame for shame and tsktsk.. I think we all missed out on some interesting designs from Malvin. I'll miss him. And the show will miss his unique pov. Shirin seems to have talent. I adored that dress, it was brilliant.

I thought Mitchell was lucky once again. Again, sloppy.. maybe he should have been gone last week.. Those top three were very nice.

Malvin still didn't get it when he was leaving. He said something about his concept being too much for America. Malvin, any outfit that you try to give the woman an egg with "chicken thighs" sticking out is NOT going to work out. I don't think Mitchell is long for this show, but I just think anyone who thinks a woman wants to look like a chicken carrying an egg needs to go home.

Malvin ended up doing straight legged pants, didn't he? I seem to recall thinking he took what Tim said to heart, and ditched the jodhpurs. At any rate, I agree... he thought he was too "conceptual" for America. I thought that was pretty condescending. I'm not sure that "concept" would be accepted anywhere. And it didn't even really look well made. There were tucks that looked out of place, and bits and pieces of feathers all over. Um, no thanks. Mitchell was very lucky but I suspect the next time he's in the bottom he's out. Auf weidersein!

I didn't care for Malvin's design but didn't think it was the worst one of the runway. I think it was yards better than anything James Paul on the Bravo show did.

Woohoo, I'm thrilled that Mitchell went home. When he said "I picked somebody that could carry me through this challenge" I wanted him gone. Poor Ra'mon thought he was gonna get the axe tonight. I didn't really like that neoprene dress, but I certainly think Ra'mon deserved something for having to do both outfits by himself.

Pamy, that's exactly what I was wondering when I watched last night. I can't believe they even let him on the show. I could do better than him, and I know nothing about designing fashion. He seemed like he thought it was a huge joke. I am so glad he's gone. And, bravo to Ra'mon. He did an awesome job.

I'm not sure Ra'mon deserved the win (I hated that neoprene dress) but I also could not believe what Mitchell said. Both the "carry me" thing and then admitting to the judges that he didn't do crap for the challenge. I really don't know how he got on this show at all.

i didn't get all the love for the neoprene dress at all! as to the other team. i didn't think the man was that unreasonable. unless there was major editing, it looked like the woman was defensive going into working with him. (sorry, don't remember their names and no banner)

Qrystal was the woman and I think Epperson is the man. I thought the same thing, though, Annie. It sort of looked like she went into the challenge with a chip on her shoulder. He seemed to be trying to get along and she seemed to want to do the opposite. The look I really liked was the short white skirt with the brown long sleeved shirt, with the macrame top underneath.

She may have been defensive, but he was all up in her face - WAY too close for my comfort zone!! I think that she just didn't know how to counter his aggressiviness and ended up with a "What-ever" defence, and not a way to take back command.

Tim Gunn: Comic crimefighter against fashion evils By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL AP Fashion Writer The Associated Press Friday, September 4, 2009 12:27 PM EDT NEW YORK (AP) — Tim Gunn is taking his fight against fashion crimes from the workrooms of "Project Runway" to the pages of a comic book. And, wow, does he get to wear a power suit. The "Loaded Gunn" story line — to save an exhibit of extraordinary superhero clothes from a cadre of villains — is part of a book that reintroduces a group of Marvel's high-fashion "Models Inc." comic characters from the 1960s. "It's a little `America's Next Top Model' — without Tyra (Banks) — and a little `Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,'" says Marvel editor Charlie Beckerman. The Gunn project evolved on a whim, but it turned out Gunn was a childhood comic fan and a good sport, Beckerman says. Gunn says the experience has been "the most bizarre thing." "It's exciting and exhilarating, but bizarre. When they came to me, I said, `I'm about to turn 56 years old. Are they crazy?' But it kept revealing itself in layers and next thing, I'm wearing the `Iron Man' suit. I was dumbstruck." Personally, Gunn says he always fancied himself more of a Batman type, but he's pleased with the result. "Most superheroes are fighting the same thing — good vs. evil — but who's taking on crimes against fashion? Me!" The biggest offense, hands down: clothes that don't fit properly, Gunn says. And, if he had the truly incredible power to remove one item from closets all around the world, no question it would be Crocs. "It's the No. 1 fashion crime item — and I see it a lot," Gunn says.

Has something happened to Michael Kors? He's not on Runway, and they didn't mention him when they introduced the new judge for this week.

I also thought the dress by Ra'mon was horrible. It was bulging out in weird places, I didn't understand the top at all, and the color splotch looked like someone spilled a whole lot of ink then tried to clean it up. What the heck were they so in love with in this design? I thought many of the others did beautiful work.

I didn't like either of Ramon's designs--the beachwear outfit was totally inappropriate for beachwear and the neoprene dress was AWFUL. I agree Ramon had to carry Mitchell, but in no way did I think he should have been in the top three, let alone the winner.

This season was also filmed around the time of the 2008 Emmy Awards, so Michael may have been busy with his clients.

again, the winning dress was horrific! There were a couple dresses that were waaaaaay better!! WTH? is up with these judges!? Even the other dress Ramon designed was better than that ink blot crap that won! I love the models show even more than this PR!!! I have seen Valerie before on something and cant figure out where. Glad she stayed

I'm enjoying the Models show also. Plus it doesn't take time from the show showing how the models were picked each week.

On prior episodes, Heidi has said "filling in for mIchael Kors..." but I did notice this week that she did say that and it made me wonder why.
