It hasn't been on this week. Last week the whacky girl (the one who loves jumpsuits) was eliminated. Both Marilyn and the fashion critic are still there, and one or both of them were top designs last week.

Thanks, Costacat. It does seems like there is consistency with who ends up in bottom; I remember the jumpsuit-loving woman seemed to be in the bottom every time I watched.

Yup she was. And it was time for her to go, definitely.

Kind of ironic that Lady Gaga will be on after the whacky girl left.

I was watching this off and on last night and at one point I stopped to see if the boys (d-squared) were drunk. I swear they sound like they are high or boozing half the time, they sort of slur their words. They sure don't add anything to the show, who are they anyway?

It is a hard show to watch because it seems so random. Did the designers know that they had to pick all their fabric on the first day, before they even knew what was going on? That just seems weird to me.

Dipo, I think its one of the worst shows on TV. I have no clue who the twins are and their voices drive me nuts. The whole concept of the show is stupid. I sure hope it doesn't get picked up for another season.

DSquared is a high end fashion line. I think they primarily do men's clothing but they've dressed quit a few famous women. I think the two of them (Dean and Dan) are hilarious. They are so camp.

Yes, the first day of the competition they were set loose in a fabric store and told to purchase all the fabrics for their line. At that time, they hadn't yet designed their line, however, other than figuring out their market, their name, and their signature look. It's why some collections look cohesive (Meryl's) and some don't (Luann's). And why Eric's seem to all look the same for the most part.

If you haven't been watching, I'd guess you'd think the show was really bad. I've been watching from the beginning and it's been interesting to watch how the "designers" are growing. Eric actually cut out his own pencil skirt last night. The first night, I don't think he even knew which end of the scissors was the cutting end.

The last three designers are interesting. One is in fashion, one is in jewelry, and one is in music.

Thanks Costa, I have seen most of the shows, just don't really sit down through the whole show. And I did know that Eric has grown a lot, that part I do like, and I actually like his clothes as well.

So this isn't the show where all the fabric was in the park and they had a few minutes to grab what they want? Oh, maybe that was the start of project runway, I am getting my design shows confused, LOL.

Oh and I am still not sure that the boys add anything either, LOL. I like the other judges.

I couldn't believe they kept Eric over the young lady who was let go. I thought her creations were very sophisticated. Eric's, on the other hand, all looked alike and also looked very cheap. I apreciate Eric now knowing how to draw on fabric and cut, but producing a bunch of hoohie mama looking clothes isn't my idea of high fashion. I guess it would be okay if your target buyers were 15 to 19 year olds. Very strange judging on this show.

LOL Dipo! That was the start of one Project Runway competition. The one where Chris was on it, cuz I remember he had a hard time running to the tent and ended up with mostly his last picks.

This show, they did get to go shopping. They were told to buy all the fabrics for their line, and I remember there were quite a few frazzled people. I think it's hard to estimate how much material you'll need if you've not even designed an outfit yet, though! LOL!

I like DSquared. The boys. They crack me up. They ARE well known designers, so while you may think they suck at being hosts, they've got the design chops. The other two judges are mostly there for "would you buy this for your store".

I think they kept Eric because his line actually looked like a line. Luann did some great designs, but it wasn't a cohesive line. And his line is VERY specific, and he he's not really designing for a 60 year matronly woman and he freely admits it.

At this point, I think Meryl's likely to win. I like Kathy's designs, for the most part, but I think Meryl has had the clearest design sense and the most integrated line. Actually, I'd wear pieces from all three of the remaining designers, now that I think of it!

I certainly agree Eric's line looks cohesivie, as they all look almost identical. I was really hoping Luann would be among the final three. I love both Meryl and Kathy, but just wished Luann would have been there with them at the end.

The DSquared boys may have the designer chops, but they are very poor TV hosts. It must be a lot harder then it looks to host a show.

I do enjoy this show, as I enjoy any show that has creativity, taking nothing and making something wonderful. It amazes me how talented some people are, I'm often in awe of their talent.

Dipo, that happened last week on the season premiere of Project Runway. All of the fabric was in Central Park and they had to grab whatever they could in 3 minutes. Then they had to pick only 5 fabrics to keep from all the ones they grabbed. That's why you remember it so well, it happened last week. LOL

LOL, sometimes it is hard to keep these shows separate in my mind.

Does Merle remind anyone else of Peg Bundy (from Married with Children) or is it just me?

I predicted the winner last week when the previews were shown. I've noticed that with Bravo previews it's telegraphed who the winner will be simply by watching the direction the person stating "you are the winner" is looking. The same thing happend at the last Top Chef.

Don't remember her name but it was the woman who designed all the long flowy (sp?) gowns. She was the jewelery designer.

Kathy.

Stoopid Bravo. Moved the 2nd part of the finale and my DVR didn't pick it up. And while TV Guide said it was replaying last night at 1am and 3am, it didn't. So lovely, another finale I'll never be able to catch. I'm really starting get over Bravo.

I am sure the twin brothers are very nice guys, but my goodness, their voices drive me insane. I have to mute the show to watch it! If they don't change hosts, I will have to skip out on season two.

I think the Peg Bundy look-alike was Merle. She came in second place.

Oh, that's right, bombaycat. Thanks for the correction. I always watched this show half-assed because it was so bad.
