Rats! The DVR didn't record this episode. I think I set it for a repeat today, but sometimes that darn thing doesn't cooperate.

I was so disappointed that Michael's gown wasn't in the top 3. Did not like Gretchen's outfit at all. I thought there was no cohesiveness and that skirt did not look creative to me. Glad she didn't win. She sure is getty c o c k y. Hated her snarky comment about Andy. I really liked Andy's dress. I think Valerie is a great designer and loved her dress. Also, liked Ivy's and Christopher's. Cassanova should have been eliminated.

I was also disappointed that Michael's gown wasn't in the top 3. I thought his gown was way better than Gretchen's. I also hated that they called out McKell on her lousy styling on the first show, but barely mentioned those gawdaful boots with that outfit of Gretchen's. Gretchen is annoying, and I'm gonna love seeing her get her comeuppance. And yes, it's way past time for Casanova to leave.

So I just got done watching all three episodes of On the Road with Austin & Santino and I have to say, this is a fun show. A few comments: I like both guys better in this environment than I did when they were on PR. Austin is adorable and Santino is actually likable. The theme sort of reminds me of the movie "Too Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar." In that movie (which was excellent by the way), three drag queens on a road trip find themselves broken down in a hick town and they use their style skills to breathe new life into the townsfolk. Given that they have been filming in the bible belt, I'd venture to guess the families and towns they are visiting probably don't see flaming gays like Austin Scarlett on a regular basis. I think it's fun that the guys aren't toning it down entirely. Austin's comments sometimes crack me up, and Santino seems to enjoy and have fun with it. "Austin Scarlett O'Hara" -- LOL! Still can't figure out whether Santino is gay, straight or bi... and if gay, if he and Austin Scarlett are in a relationship or just friends? They surely seem to get along and their rapport ranges from sweet to comical. I think I actually prefer this show to Models of the Runway. Is anyone else watching it?

"Still can't figure out whether Santino is gay, straight or bi..." Here is Santino's answer to your question: interview :: Santino Rice Windy City Times Mon. February 1, 2010 <snip> "WCT: You are bisexual, correct? SR [Santino Rice]: Well that is a whole other interview right there. You can just call me gay but I like men and I am attracted to beautiful women. I didn’t like the negativity that was attached to being gay growing up so that is why I have problems with the label." <snip> http://chicago.gopride.com/news/interview.cfm/articleid/158644

I'm watching Jezzedout. It's a hoot! Some of the looks from the shopkeepers when Austin Scarlett is shopping are priceless. I wish I'd had the kind of courage it takes to be out and proud in small town America when I was growing up! Yes, I agree - this is a thousand times better than Whiny Models of the Runway!

I love this show and I love Austin and Santino. Every time I watch this show, I think back to when Santino did his comedy schtick about Tim and André at The Red Lobster. I'm sure that is somewhere on YT, I'm just too lazy to search for it.

Hey Sanfran, thanks for clarifying Santino's status. So, do you know then whether Austin and Santino are a couple? Or just good friends? Either way I like them together. ((-:

Hi Lexie... yes that was very funny! I'm pretty sure I noticed a clip of that scene on the Lifetime website.

This challenge always amazes me. To see what they're given to work with, and the things they're able to come up with is just incredible. A lot of years, there's a few good ones, but most are just okay. This year, the majority of them were really good. In fact, there were at least three more that were immediately safe that I thought would were excellent and contenders for the win. I'm not a fan of Cassanova, but the workmanship on that was pretty impressive. Sarah's looked like a super cheap costume, or something that a grade-schooler could have made. Gretchen is heading for a really big fall. It's amazing, and kind of sad, how quickly this all went to her head. When the one designer (I think it was AJ) didn't want to hear her talking about Andy's dress (when they'd specifically asked Andy) she just flips off some comment about how he was just mad because he was in the bottom. She's the type that will be genuinely confused when she does fall why no one gives her any support.

Scout, you summed up Gretchen pretty well. Too bad because she seems like a good designer but yikes, just can't take her. And On the Road with Austin and Santino is a cute little show. At first I thought it was a one time special so glad to hear there's more to watch. I'm loving this season of Runway.

Yikes, is Ivy as bad as Gretchen or what? During the runway showing, I picked out 4 that I thought could be potentials for top 3 so I was shocked to hear the 'safe crowd' in the green room berating some of the 4 I had picked, And then lo and behold, the judges agreed with me. What a CATTY group some of those people are! Have they always been that bad in the greenroom or is it just this crowd? When Ivy did the party dress with millions of folded napkins last week, did anyone besides me have visions of Chloe's dress made of millions of leaves in almost the same color in the season Chloe won? I'll take 2 Michaels and one Valerie with an Andy to win please! And hold the Peach and Chris as long as possible before removing. I'm over the rest!

I haven't read the above (still watching the show at the moment), but I have to say I LOVE how they played Seal's "Kiss of a Rose" when Heidi came out before the runway.

Same here, Teach! I heard him sing that song with the stones about 14 years ago and went right out and bought it. It has remained one of my favorite songs ever since. Can't wait to hear what others think of the green room session.

Okay, now that I've seen the entire thing --- Yes, Ivy was just as bad as Gretchen this week. Second - I got a kick out of the hat designer NOT being as impressed with the little red dress/white bolero as the rest of the judges. Glad to see he was so nice but yet still firm with his opinions.

"Hey Sanfran, thanks for clarifying Santino's status. So, do you know then whether Austin and Santino are a couple? Or just good friends? Either way I like them together. ((-:" I can't even imagine them as a "couple"! They just seem like two designers that would make "good TV" in the heartland in a fish-out-of-water kind of way and they do play off one another in a fun way.

They have never showed so much of the green room in the past, I think we are seeing more due to the 90 mins. So I dont think we can compare if this group is worse. I have a feeling the year Santino and the tranny mess guy were just as bad in the green room

I was a little surprised at Michael's winning and Christopher's being in the bottom. I really liked Christopher's so the only thing I can think is it didn't translate on the screen and looked different in person. Ditto with Michael's... I didn't see the "go together" of the colors on my TV. Not surprised Kristen and April were in the bottom. April's booty shorts... really? That's find to lounge around the house in, but to pair something that's a bit declasse with a Tracy hat? And Kristen's dress looked a hot mess. I probably would've done something simple, like a column dress, so that the hat would look like a flower on a stem. (Then again, I'm not a designer! LOL!) Gretchen's face as she realized she was in the middle was priceless.

If she was going to do resort wear, maybe she should have gone straight to a bikini with coverup. Or capris with a boxy top or something.

I have found that watching the show knowing full well who won gives me a different perspective and I pay more attention to things like seeing Gretchen's face. I actually like Casanova's dress and I need to give him props accordingly since cringe when he opens his mouth.
