Sanfranjoshfan, thanks for the heads up! I was able to watch it tonight. I join you in being stunned that of all the outfits, they chose McKel to send home. Yes, Tim Gunn liked it. It was well constructed, when many of them weren't in the 5-hour time period. You could recognize the original garment, but she had indeed transformed it. The skirt was lovely, and I thought the top just need a little tweaking to prevent "boob leakage". And why, oh why, did they keep harping on the pink oversize bag and the hairstyle? It seems to me that the construction and style of the garment comes first. Either Pants-out-of-pants or Casonova should have been gone before her, and throw in kimono guy also. PS I did agree with the winner, however. PPS Unfortunately, I watched some of the additonal footage on "on demand", with more complete bios for all. I will not be able to root for April Johnston: she loves to collect real fur coats and that sickens me, especially in this day and age. I was really hoping she would go tonight for that reason.

I agree with everyone that the right person won, but the wrong person definitely went home.

I dont think someone that can afford 1000 for a pair of pants should be on this show. This show used to be about up and comming designers looking for a big break. The past couple seasons it seems they have already established designers looking for advertising of their name

I think he MAKES the pants that cost $1000 - so he made them but didn't actually buy them. (and I have no idea why I thought that, but that was my initial reaction)

No, Teachmichigan, they were Dolce and Gabano (sp) pants that he purchased. Now why any pants would cost $1000 is beyond me.

I don't know that the premise is poor up and coming designers, just up and coming ones. In the past there have been people who are well off but trying to break into this field. Don't see why someone would be not allowed to dream of being discovered assuming they are good. And of course he may not have paid that much.

Jason and the backward kimono. He has all of personality of the bowler hat on his head. The question he had for Gretchen(I think) was "What's your nationality?" Huh? Then awkward silence after that little interchange. I'm waiting to see why he was kept. Witty banter and amazing talent so far are nowhere to be found.

I must be the only one who thought the winning design was a snooze!

I did too Hermie!!! it looked like an old lady top you find at Walmart. The dress that lost was better. I think they let her go cuz she didnt have a personality for the show. Of course neither does Bowlerhat but maybe they saw something we didnt.

In the previews it reveals one of the people that need 911 assistance.

I definitely didn't agree that the girl who went home had the worst outfit. It seems like it's always a girl who goes home first on the majority of reality shows. I guess a guy has gone home first on Project Runway before, but I remember a lot more women going first. I wonder why that is?

Previews also seem to indicate an accusation of cheating too..

I finally watched this first episode and I think eliminating McKell was wrong. Casanova definitely should've gone and, if not him, then Jason. Both were awful. As was Ivy's "I redesigned the pants" pants!

Pamy - according to Heidi on some of the talk shows she was on, she said this season was difficult on the disigners (more than one fell over! I think she said 3 - I could be making that up) it was the incredible heat - as well as some of the designers forgot to eat (and of course drink water) cheating - that reminds me of the season one of the designers that tried to bring/hide a book!! classic cheat there!! (of course I'm still wondering if there was a cheat in Top Chef - the "pea" incident!)

Yay!!! Jason Bowlerhat went home! I was tired of all his excuses for why he kept making unfinished ugly messes. Let's see, he blamed his first mess on time constraints and his model's distractingly big oobies, then blamed his second mess on the judges lack of understanding and his model not being a "runway" model. Next week he probably would have blamed the lunar cycle and Casanova's accent. I was glad they sent the crying man home too, I can't take a lot of crying. What is it, do they have to have at least one big weeper every season?

Interesting they sent two home in one episode. I remember seeing that sometimes when they did team challnges but never 2 individuals doing individual projects. I wonder if we may see a week when no one goes home??

Finally watched episode 2. Agree with those (Pamy, Hermione) who did not like last week's winning dress, and those who thought the wrong person was eliminated last week. This week, thought both of the eliminated garments were, as Heidi would say, "a hot mess," although I thought Kristin's outfit should have been in the bottom instead of Peach. Not that I liked Peach's design, but I thought Kristen's was equally as bad. I thought the judges were right on with the top 2. Loved the little red dress. Next week looks like an eventful episode.

I liked the red dress much better than the jumpsuit. It didn't seem very original to me. Agree with Nerovh in being glad that "Jason Bowlerhat" and his excuses are both gone. I like Peach and am glad someone had something that looked worse than hers. Hers was pretty lame.

I thought the winning jumpsuit looked just like something I had in the 80s and the shoes she picked with it were horrid! That won over the red dress and the cute blk and wht outfit??!!! I was stunned! WTH are they seeing that I cant see?! I loved the guy that had the top that had the fan out sleeves, I thought that was really clever. Peach and Casanova are irritating me.
