Santino wasn't the same kinda mean as we are seeing with this group. Santino's ego was huge but his snarkiness was more funny and grounded in facts. This groups snarkiness and meanness seems to stem from their Jr. High days. Reader, I had a client meeting in Lake Forest yesterday and thought of Peach....I liked her too. BTW Lake Forest has the best downtown/ main street area.

I didn't find Santino as snotty and mean-spirited as these people. He was arrogant as all get out, but he had a great sense of humor to go with it.

I was so glad that Michael C won, just to shove it in those evil people's faces. They think they are so great. I think Ivy's stuff stinks. She should have gone last week, with those horrible shorts. Gretchen is a know it all. I am glad the judges have their numbers and see what they are doing.

Santino's rage was more "How could I not have won that?" as compared to "How could that person win?"

I'm with those that agree that Santino wasn't this kind of mean. Definitely snarky - but not mean. I mean come on... he gave us the André and Tim at the Red Lobster skit. Best comedy skit every on PR.

<<<<<< Definitely on team Michael C. I watched even though on ABC the show was focusing on a neurosurgeon in my building at work.

I loved that Michael C won, couldn't believe how awful Peach's dress was and I wish that Ivy had gone home, LOL.

Will miss Peach. What a sweetheart. Kappy - you're right, it's too bad the others didn't learn from her example. Gretchen still doesn't get it, and probably never will. They all did treat Michael C. horribly. I just love it when the underdog wins! And, I thought he was acting quite gracious, considering the way they've all been treating him. I was not at all pleased with Michael D. He acted like his model was so unbelievably huge and his whole body demeanor was that of someone who didn't want to work with her. His model was beautiful. As a designer, does he think he'll never design for anyone besides a runway model? They way he made over that dress was hideous. She was rocking the old dress - even if it wasn't the most beautiful design, and she really did her best for his design, too. I thought April's dress turned out really pretty. To me, she was much more at a disadvantage than Michael D. because her model was so opinionated. I was very glad April didn't listen to her. That girl acted like she was the designer. I'm liking Mondo more and more each week. He seems so sweet and so willing to help the others. Also - I don't think I've ever heard him utter an unkind word about another contestant.

I think what it boils down to with the way they are treating Michael C. is that they from the first did not respect him. Then when he won over some of them who think they are so good, they resented it. Then came last week and they just shut him out of the team so to speak. Any suggestion he made was shut down as unimportant. It was just so cruel the way they did it. He was obviously frustrated by the way they were treating him. It was a good thing that he had immunity. They DID NOT stick together. Gretchen turned on Michael when it appeared she was in jeopardy and then the others piled on. It was really a pathetic display. I guess they thought that was OK because he had immunity, but it had to have hurt to have them all talk that way. And Ivy saying she didn't know if it was just inability or ignorance was so uncalled for. The whole thing was just so petty. Either stick together or don't, but don't gang up on one guy, and then act so righteous because you "stuck together." They were clearly afraid of Grethen. I almost choked at Gretchen's saying Tim hurt her feelings. Does she not realize how much she and her cohorts hurt Michael's feelings? Talk about being self centered. And I had a feeling that Ivy just flat made up the stuff about Michael telling others not to vote for her. She was the one that kept talking about it. And I have to believe Michael when he said he did not say it because he had to know there were cameras everywhere and that one might have caught him. He wouldn't have just flat denied it, knowing that. He would have tried to make excuses for what he said or apologized. I thing her "choosing not to believe him," says a lot. And what is it with her comments about his character? She does not believe him because of his character? What has he done to make her question his character? And then to top things off, he won this week after they had criticized and bashed his dress and predicted he would be in the bottom three. It was just too much for them to swallow. Their attitude in the green room was dreadful. Gretchen's look when Michael came back was so ugly. She looked like she hated him. I almost had to laugh at their comments about the judges and not knowing what kind of show they were on. Do they forget so easily that the public might be seeing what they are saying? Apparently from the previews of next week, they are going to continue bashing Michael. It has become a gang mentality. Decide who you think is the weakest one and pile on. It is almost like they have depersonalized Michael so he or his feelings do not matter. Sorry for the long post, but I just had to express my feelings. I feel so sorry for Michael and admire him for how he has handled the situation. I would have been screaming and throwing things by now. Any joy he has in his wins have been stolen from him by sour poor losers.

Allie, great post. Michael looks so sad at times because of the mean girls. I just wanted to hug him! In his video http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway/season-8/designers/michael-costello# videoof his home visit he seems so cheerful and silly....I don't think he's use to dealing with the Ivys, Gretchens and Andys of the world. I hope he out lasts those three.

I think it is unfair when they have a competition where there is a wide difference in the sizes of the models. I mean a thin girl is generally going to look better. Then when you add in the cost, it is going to cost more $$ to buy more material for a bigger model.

But they also had more material from the original dress to work with, so I think it rather evens out. I don't see how the jolly rancher dress would have looked good on a super thin model either - that netting was bad no matter what the size of the dress.

I also think that if he had spoken badly about Ivy, it would have been shown on the show. I believe she made it up, to have any excuse why people did not put their pins in her jar. She is mean mean mean

Does anyone know when and where Project Runway 8 will be airing in Canada? I can't seem to find the information anywhere, and we're even blocked from watching the episodes on mylifetime.com

Agreed - Ivy totally should have gone home. That being said, soooo glad that Mondo apologized and realized what a jerk he had been being to Michael C. Hopefully the others will take notice!

Yes, Ivy, you just plain suck as a designer! What a good point to make to these people that it's common for a designer to hire out someone else to do the sewing. In other words, they're looking for a top Designer - not a top tailor. Congrats to April for her outfit. While I actually didn't care for it, I understand why it was chosen.

I bet April's outfit looked much prettier in person. I thought it was cool but they all gushed about it! Ivy's outfit wasn't even an outfit, and DRAB!

Casanova's feelings after being eliminated - "zero sad, but disappointed about a quart". Classic Casanova! Good episode....I also wish Ivy had gone home....and I wish that Michael D hadn't felt so responsible for her crappy design. It was Ivy's design and it was Ivy's bad decision to "dumb it down" until it was too simple, too bland, and too boring because she didn't trust that Michael D could execute it. Hey, Michael D, don't blame yourself for Ivy's error in judgement! The problem with that outfit wasn't the execution, it was the dull, boring design. Hey, Ivy, concentrate on your designs instead of criticizing everyone else's work! It's about the art, not the drama!

I will miss Casanova - and I'm sorry to see him go - seriously I thought his outfit was better, not only better than Ivy's but better than that one that the back had some kind of pleats on the hip - I thought that one would be in bottom 3!! oh well, guess I'll never make a judge. I thought it was very compassionate of Michael D to be so concerned for Ivy, who else would've with that group? I cant wait to see what happens next - will they pick better fabrics? different colors?
