I wasn't sad to see Crystal (I know she spells it differently) go. She seemed like a really nice person, but her designs were not great. I was hoping Epperson for the win, only because I was so sad for him missing his family. His dress was sharp. I didn't care for the one female judge. I think she's the one who dresses Angelina Jolie. I thought she was a little mean.

Yeah, that one female judge was pretty snotty. I hope we don't see her again. Maybe Angelina can keep her busy dressing the kids or something. I was glad Qrystal left. Like the judges, I question her taste level and her sewing skills. I know the judges loved that little suit, but I thought it looked a little, um, revealing or something. The jacket was really cute and it was a cute idea, but I thought the skirt looked way short and the top was not flattering to the model's boobs.

I also was surprised with the winning outfit. The boobs were totally bouncing around. I thought it was rather messy.

I agree about the winning outfit. If Heidi was so concerned with the boobage on Epperson's dress, why not on that winning one? OTOH, I was surprised how many of the dresses I thought were really lovely.

Epperson's dress was the best!! That balloon skirt was horrid, WTH!? is up with the winners this season! Heidi cracked me up with her boob talk! I am same way though. There are tons of push up padded bras, I actually prefer Fred to Vicki but she was correct that they could have put a better bra on her I love Heidi at the model's house. I really love that show, better than ANTM! I was sad to see Val go but happy she got a job with Christian A!

found an old article about PR and i think it helps to answer the 'where are Michael and Nina?' question. While all this legal mumbo jumbo is going on, Heidi Klum continues to insist the show won't change. However, every time she does one of these interviews, she drops in one (not so) little thing about how the show will in fact be entirely different than we know it now. She tells the L.A. Times that Michael Kors and Nina Garcia won't appear on every episode of season six. We're guessing that's because they filmed in L.A. and Michael and Nina have to be in New York because they work in the fashion industry which is here, not in L.A., thank you very much.

Ra’mon-Lawrence Coleman won the challenge on Thursday’s episode of Project Runway 6 after dyeing his dress at the last minute in the bathroom, and it was still wet when it went down the runway. Here’s what Tim Gunn told People happened behind the scenes: “What the audience didn’t see is me going into the men’s room, saying to Ra’mon, would you please get that neoprene thing out of the toilet? If you’re going to dye it, dye it in the sink. It’s more hygienic. … I just said, you’ve got to get it out of there. Get it out. Out, out, out. … It was one big hot mess, and his model was refusing to wear it because she knew it had been in the toilet. I had a showdown with her in the sewing room about how you’re a professional, this is what you have to do.” from realityblurred.com

Now THAT clip I'd like to see - Tim Gunn in a "showdown" with anyone would be TV gold.

Loved Tim Gunn's comment backstage about Johnny telling a fictitious story on the runway. Love Tim Gunn throughout. He gives very sound targeted advice. Influenced the winner to do the trench coat she was thinking of. I just don't get the judges this season though, and really miss the consistency of Michael Kors and Nina Garcia. The top 3 were okay, but I just totally didn't understand Geordana (sp?)being in the bottom 3. I was horrified; I thought for sure she would be in top 3. It was called "boring"? Really? I loved it, the color and craftsmanship were wonderful. Tim had raved about it backstage, I swear some of the other designers were congratulating her on it. What gives?

Johnny was a recovering addict, right? It becomes a habit to always come up with an excuse.

Yes, Johnny is the recovering addict. I was amazed when he said that giving up drugs was easier than doing Project Runway.

I was tickled at Tim's comment about Johnny too. I didn't get Geordana in the bottom 3 either. I so wanted Nicholai to go..his constant running down of Johnny got on my nerves. Hopefully being in the bottom 3 humbled him.

I'm glad Johnny left. I didn't like his atitude and that stupid lie he made up. I'm glad somebody called him out on the runway, and I'm glad Tim commented on it too. Johnny tried to make it sound like he had some really, really amazing creation that he lost by bad luck. His first dress looked like crap, and it was his own fault that he wasted time doing crossword puzzles instead of making a new dress.

One of the dresses looked like The Christmas trees we used to make out of catalogs or old phone books. We'd fold down the upper outside corner of each page, then spray paint it a color for Christmas.

2nd week in a row that Tim told a contestant that their piece was not looking good and they scrapped it and started a completely new garment. I wonder if their first garments would have ended up better. This season has such great designers, there was about 6 pieces I really adored last night. I think Ramon will win

Okay, I'm admitting up front I'm old. LOL Darrellh - That dress reminded me of the doorstops we used to make with the old Sears and Montgomery Wards catalogs. We would fold the corner down to the center of the page, then fold the outside edge to the inside of the catalog. Keep in mind the catalogs were huge back in the 50s.

Darrellh, that's what that dress reminded me of, too! We used to make them in girl scouts and then put glitter and tiny ornaments on them. I loved the trench coat and one of the dresses. I think it's the dress the tall blonde girl did, the one who won last week's challenge. It was the dress that they said was beautiful architecturally.

I hate the judging thing this season. I never liked Nina and only liked Michael for his snarkiness, but the crew this season is stupid. The designers don't have a consistent critique to respond to and they don't have people who see their development or lack thereof. I was happy to see Johnny gone and really loved the winning dress. The editing was very strange, though, because we barely saw a couple of the designers last night (Epperson, for example).

I was blown away by how good some of the styles were, especially the trench coat. I'm not a clothing designer... can't hardly even sew... but I thought I could have come up with something good for this challenge. I'm really good at arts and crafts. It would have been fun! You know what would have been really fun. Take them out in rain and see how well it holds up. Now that would be funny!!!! This week's Models of the Runway was great too. There's so much we don't see and know about. Imagine having to stand around for 8 hours in those clothes without being able to eat, drink, or go to the bathroom!! And I love that next week everybody HAS to change models. I just wish they had done that this week cause I loved the model who had to go home.

The faux feather dress was great as was the coat and none of them exactly sucked except for maybe Johnny's but his wasn't even horrid. His personality seemed to lack confidence and he seemed to give up easily. The models show is fun to watch in a voyeuristic way. I wonder what Tyra thinks of this model show. It's not like hers but still I think she prob isn't appreciating Heidi stepping into her TV model hold.

When Johnny started doing the crossword puzzle I was so hoping they were showing that because he was going to get an inspiration to do some kind of crossword puzzle dress but alas that did not happen. I am so over Nicolas and hope he goes next. He was laughing at how Tim said it looked like a bird had attacked Johnny's dress so it was great to hear the one judge say his dress reminded her of an insect. Loved it!

the only thing about the model competition is that it's so passive. it's not like the models have any control over their outcome. maybe by all the designers having to change their models next week (per the previews), it will help. i am guessing the the designers will want to pick the best walkers.

"I hate the judging thing this season. I never liked Nina and only liked Michael for his snarkiness, but the crew this season is stupid. The designers don't have a consistent critique to respond to and they don't have people who see their development or lack thereof." Bingo, Tish. I was trying to figure out what was bothering me about the judges. There is no consistency with the judging. I loved the challenge this week. I think Johnny's addiction issues are not fully worked out and it showed in his behavior this show. I don't know what he was thinking lying about why he trashed the first dress when there are cameras on them all the time. Hello! Still didn't like Nicholas calling him out on the runway. He's just ... yucky to me. Texannie, I noticed that about Althea, too! Girl got some height! I loved the top two designs this week! I wanted to wear the swishy, feathery newspaper dress that Christopher did and strut down the runway myself, but I don't think it comes in a Hobbit size. There doesn't seem to be a clear front runner this season. I'm enjoying the model show, too. I find myself drawn to Fatma. I love her looks. My favorite was Ashley (I think that is her name?), the one who left twice? She was beautiful and positive. I live Vanessa's looks, too, and also Matar's. It's a fun little guilty pleasure.

I thought it was cruel to make those models stand around for 8 hours in those dresses without drinking or being able to use the bathroom.
