Project Runway, Season 5 Official Discussion Thread.

I agree. That's the only reason she didn't get the boot last night.

Her outfit was beyond ridiculous. Poor Leanne, she looked like a freak in that getup! Kenley needs a generous serving of humble pie. I hope she gets it next week.

I kept trying to figure out if Leanne's hair was kept up on top of a visor or if it was sprayed to stay like that. Her hair was as distracting as the horrible outfit.

Anyone else spent the last few days figuring out what kind of hip hop outfit you would have put Leeanne in that wouldn't make the whitest girl in the world look ridiculous? No? Just me?

She could have gone simple. A tank top with baggy yoga-type pants and high tops like Julia Styles in Save the Last Dance. Clearly not over the top hip hop, but at least she could have said that was her inspiration and not Flock of Seagulls.

It was clear that Kenley had NO idea what hip hop style is! Leanne's outfit looked very L.A. All she was missing was a pair of big sunglasses and an over sized bag and she could have easily been on an episode of The Hills. (Minus the "whack-a-doodle" hairdo!)

I just got to watch the show last night. That had to be the biggest miss on a challenge that I have ever seen!

Kenly has no clue. If I had been doing this, I would have taken my ques from the Queen of Up scale Hip-Hop inspired fashion, Kimora and the Baby Phat line. There are tons of her pieces that you would see out in a club.

Tim Gunn on Craig Ferguson. He talks a lot about Kenley and her attitude. Craig is a big fan of the show is is quite funny talking about it.

Oh, but don't forget, Kenley doesn't look at other designer's line of work. Yeah, right, whatever. How can you be a designer and not look at other designers work???

This is from Tim Gunn's blog on the project runway website...

"Kenley designs for Leanne's hip-hop persona. What didn't Kenley understand? High-waisted jeans, and demure floral print tank, and a shrunken leather jacket? How did this look say hip-hop? Furthermore, any of the items could have been purchased in "anywhere mall," today. I tried to give her some constructive feedback, but she pushed back with unbridled resistance. Therefore, it was with more than a little satisfaction that I listened to LL Cool J take her down a few pegs. Kenley, please mind your game."

I especially love the bolded part. Hopefully Kenley is gone this week. I really don't understand why the judges would keep her over Suede last week. He may have missed the mark a little bit by not being rock and roll enough. But, Kenley's outfit was not hip hop in any sense and the pants fit horribly. Oh, and LL looks damn good!

I agree with all parts of that statement!

Thanks for posting the link for everyone. I was too tired to post a synopsis after watching Craig Ferguson. But now people can see for themselves, they go extensively into Kenley.

Tim, the class act that he is, and from teaching at Parsons for 24 years, still tries to put it in teaching terms: Kenley is so insecure and has such self doubts, that she can't stand to hear anything but adulation about herself. Otherwise it is a knife in her side.

And to Tim's credit, and from his years understanding his students, even after she disrespects him the way she did, he still tried to keep teaching her and telling her he was on her side.

What a real idiot she is. She is getting free teaching from some of the best in the industry, Tim & Michael Kors. She should be bowing down, learning from them instead if dissing them.

I actually liked her in the beginning. This episode really put her way down on my list.

As a matter of fact, I didn't like Suede in the beginning. But he grew on me...I will miss him, and his blue hair!

 

[goofinoff]

Will this be the night that Kenley goes home??? We can only pray that it is!!
The previews look like she gets snarky with Heidi and Jarrell tries to step in. I hope that someone finally tells that little snot to shut her mouth!!!
Keep your fingers crossed everyone!!!

 

[cherbear]

I think this is the first year that I don't have anyone that I would vote for for Fan Favorite. Jerrell, Korto and Leanne are all OK, but no one stands out for me. I started out liking Kenley, but as the season wore on....not so much .

same here....I'm not sure who I will vote for. Is it too late?

I just finally got a chance to watch the clip. Tim Gunn is even classy when he's insulting someone. Love him!

Me too. I thought that she was going to be the one who designed with the old Hollywood glamor in mind. Now I see she is just old fashioned and dated. Well old fashioned and very much spoiled.

I can't wait for tonight. I am hoping to see Kenley booted.

 

[goofinoff]

Let's all meet here at 9 and watch the episode together!!!

That's us laughing at Kenley when she gets sent packing!!

I'm out of town on business right now and the hotel doesn't have Bravo!
I'm very upset about that, as I always look forward to PR. Tonight's especially anticipated b/c we find out who's going to Bryant Park!! And I have to miss it.

I told my husband to DVR it for me...wonder if he will. Oh yeah BTW I will be gone til next Friday so I can't watch next week either. Guess I can catch this week's and the reunion show when it re-airs before the finale, as it usually does (right?)

Oh it totally will. Bravo runs them constantly. Do you want us to tell you??

 

[goofinoff]

Well that was a little disappointing!! At least EVERYONE including the judges let Kenley know how they felt about her. What the heck does she expect!!!
Another week with that whiney voice!! The reunion show ought to be interesting!!!

 

[Mean Queen]

Whoa! This is a tough one. Though I loved seeing Kenley thrown under the bus. She acts like she's tough, when she really seems like a spoiled brat who's not used to being criticized.

Didn't they pull this trick last year? I really wanted Kenley kicked off. Kick the girl while she's down!!!! Ok, that was mean. But I don't like people like that. I have used her as a teaching tool with my daughter. I said this is what you will be like if you continue to backtalk authority, don't listen to criticism, and get very upset over tiny perceived insults.
