Kells, I know about Ping I was referring to the Models of the Runway show. The models of the ousted designer doesn't always go home now, they get picked. (unless she ended up going home anyway )

Sorry Panda. I think her name was Sophia, the asian model. She was told she was difficult to work with by two designers. Heid had told her she had a great walk but then was a bit upset with her when she found out she was difficult to work with. She was one of the four older models that hung by themselves. I just reread your post and now see that you asked about model

thank you Kellsma! She was featured a lot in the show so I figured she was one that would be eliminated. She bugged me. (I passed out with like 5 min left)

that was the first time I have seen Heidi like that. Good for her scolding that model. Her walk isnt that great to justify her bitchy attitude.

I think Ping got really confused in the burlap sack one (she admitted she did). It looked to me like she created a dress that you could pick potatoes in- lol Like actually put the potatoes into those pockets as you were picking them!

I was happy they finally got it right! One thing that bugs me every week is how Heidi doesn't pronounce Marie Claire correctly. She says Mary Claire and it just bugs me, LOL.

I think Ping was very lucky that there were other designers who were worse and who left first. I think Ping was way overdue to leave. As far as the model, she really had a bad attitude. Yes, it DOES matter what you present OFF the runway. If you are a witch off runway, doesn't matter how good you are (unless you're a "top model"), people will not want to work with you. She really thought way too highly of herself. For the most part, I really hated almost everything I saw go down the runway for the couture designs, but saw a few of the "inspired by's" that weren't bad. Really a dismal showing on the runway, actually, IMNSHO. Probably explains why I fell asleep twice while watching my recording.

ROFLMAO Puttergirl!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for finally sending home Ping! I don't think I could have stood another show with her in it. How did she ever get on this show in the first place? She can't even sew. We won't go into how she never understood anything and how she cried all the time. OY. I'm glad that model is gone, too. Now let's get this show on the road people! LOL!

I actually liked Ping, but not as a team player and not on the show past this point. The model needed to go, but the one who "defended", well, she's also full of herself and she could easily turn and trash him, too.

For those who have been long-time fans of PR: remember Laura Bennett from Season 3? (She is the architect and self-taught designer who learned she was pregnant with her sixth child during the show; she made it to Fashon Week, was the second runner-up, and has since had her clothing line sell on QVC.) Well, this multi-talented woman (and mother of five boys), now has a book out, published by Random House, called "Didn't I Feed You Yesterday? Surving In Stilettos" (or something closely apporximating that title). Her energy level exhausts me. I must go rest now.

Laura's clothes are consistently classy and gorgeous. I don't think she knows how to make an ugly outfit.

By the way, is it just me? I hate Jesse's hairstyle. It reminds me of a little boy's first haircut. He should keep that hat on his head!!

Another dull dull dull show last night. Models of the Runway continues to have more drama...and I mean come on! It's not like models generally have much to say. As someone with heart failure, I felt the show was pretty condescending--maybe patronizing--to people with heart disease. It's not like it's something insurmountable. Jeez. And there was one woman with hypertension....you know, hypertension is NOT such a big deal if you take your meds. It's perfectly controllable. Most of the dresses were incredibly boring. I didn't think Jesus' dress was as bad as Anna's, however (I think those are the right names). Even Tim, whom I have always loved...his comments seem so canned and artificial.

Jesus' dress was NOT as bad as Anna's. Hers was so ugly and unflattering that I can't believe they didn't send her home instead of Jesus. I just don't know what those judges are thinking sometimes. I didn't think his dress was as bad at all as Anna's. I'll go as far as saying it was even somewhat cute. These people have weird taste. LOL

Jesus' dress was pretty awful, though. The judges were right... there was just too much going on. And hasn't Jesus been in the bottom every single time so far? While his dress may not have been as bad as Anna's, it WAS awful and it was time for him to go. If you were going to attend a "gala" event, would YOU want to wear something that had some soup company's logo all over it? I did like the winning dress... the shine of the charmeuse through the sheerer fabric was pretty and pretty smart.

I must have terrible taste because I thought Jesus' dress was a lot better than some of the others. I really didn't see where it deserved to be blasted. I also thought the cute young girl should have gone home. Her dress made the lady look huge and was not flattering in any way. I guess I'm just out of touch.

I thought most of the dresses last night were UGLY! I felt so bad for the women wearing them, I was embarrassed for them. I sure hope we see more talent as the show progresses than we saw last night.

I agree, very few of the designs were flattering to the women's figures. I thought that Jesus dress was exactly what I see all the young stars wearing to the "awards" shows. A lot of them have short, tight, sparkley, shiny dresses on with awful shoes - we see it practically everyday on the entertainment news shows. I think the young lady wearing it loved it as well. I thought the other dress that Anna, I think it was, made was unbelievably bad. It looked horrible on the the lady and that beige part of the top was terrible.

Satin is not flattering when it's tight. Never. Satin might be good for accent but not around the butt.

Anyone who has watched the show would have known that very short, very shiny, and very tight was a bad, bad combo, especially to Michael Kors. I feel like they sent Jesus home since they had already discussed these same issues with him the last couple of times that he was in the bottom. They felt he has very poor taste, and that their really wasn't any way to correct that. I think his dress and the other girl's dress were equally bad, so I wasn't sad to see him go. The only 2 dresses I liked at all were the top 2. I thought that lady looked really great in that "star" dress. Everything else besides the star dress and the winning dress looked kind of bad.
