~Project Runway Season Season 8 Thread Spoilers Welcome~

[southernbohemian]

I liked Andy's dress, but I thought Valerie should have won.

Gretchen - whoa! She came off as so likeable before. The nerve to walk around the room and play Tim Gunn - I would have told her off.

Casanova definitely should have went home. I liked the dress from the back - but the front was a nightmare. And 2 out of 3 times they have questioned his taste level. Why keep around someone who doesn't make nice clothes?

Sara (? - the one that went home) got a raw deal. Of course, she shot herself in the foot by taking Gretchen's advice instead of following her own design instinct. I laughed when they called her dress "boring." Compared to the other 2 in the bottom - yes. But if you saw her Miss Tropicana dress walking down the street, I doubt anyone would call it boring.

I'm still watching tonights episode, but I'm already cringing at Casanova cutting up the stuffed animals?? I really liked Gretchen before, but tonight, she's driving me tonight!

I was really excited when they brought out some models for elimination, and thought, "OOOOH, some Models of the Runway!" But that was almost a total waste....

Crap. Nothing taped for me.

Oh my God! I wanted to drop kick Gretchen right off the runway! Two wins does not Tim Gunn make

I think that the designers are going to hate that woman and not becasue she won but how she is reacting to that win.

I wonder how Ivy is.

 

[jackemail]

I was quite impressed with what they did with the party junk! Totally disagreed with who was eliminated...no way it should have been Sarah. My, but Gretchen is showing her true, disagreeable colors now! Hate the way they left us hanging about Ivy.

 

[Kae]

what killed me is some of them acted like they had no idea this of this type of challenge, Have they never watched the show. I think Gretchen means well & she would be the same even if she hadn't won any challenges. At least she is not witchy-yet. She is the Cliff Claven of PR.

I think Mondo is a pretty good designer as well to the person who mentioned the top designers.
I think she shoulda kept with the Tropicana dress! But I love pink teehee.
But YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Peach for making something youthful!

Crap. Nothing taped for me.

It's going to be on again Sunday - really Saturday night - from midnight to 1:30 AM.

My DVR only recorded the last hour... better the last than the first I suppose

As much as I liked Andy's dress I do not think he should have won. He had 2 designers helping him do his finish work. As much as I wanted to slap Gretchen she was right about it being a time management issue. He shouldn't have been allowed to have help, if he knew he wasn't going to be able to finish his dress he should have motified the design.
I hate to say it because her personality is really turning me off, I really liked Gretchen's design and I think she should have won again. I also liked the first dress that went down the runway (gold one), it looked like real fabric but I think it was just too plain to really get noticed.

I was so glad that Cassanova didn't go home because he is so darned funny. We kept rewinding to her him talk about the "plush poopies" (stuffed animals/plush puppies.) Here everyone else is going to town with ribbon and animal wooly balls, and he's saying that it's impossible to make anything from the materials in a party store. But he seems amiable.

Gretchen...good thing there are cameras around, or they might just discover her with someone's sewing scissors in her. What a total jerk! I think if it was me I'd just politely tell her to not talk to me in the work room or come near me.

I loved the first dress that came down the aisle...the knee length with the full skirt - it looked like raw silk.

When Heidi said Casanova's name at the end, I flicked my thumb back and said, "you're outa here." Then, he wasn't. I find him to be even more annoying than Gretchen. At least she's got the chops to be cocky. Casanova's got nothing.

I also won't be watching the Santino and Austin show anymore. The only good one was the second one and that is because the woman was so dynamic. When the woman walked in last night, I thought, gee, how nice of everyone to have dressed for the occasion. What was the real purpose of her having a fancy dress when everyone else was in jeans and golf shirts?

I was thinking that at least her dh could have dressed up, he was wearing a T shirt

He's the comic relief, just like in a play. You've got multiple possible heroes, the bit players, the villian (or the be-otch) and the comic relief. He won't stay round until the end, but there's got to be someone to laugh at.

Wouldn't you like to know Mondo's back story? Do you think he was beat up every day in school, or home schooled?

 

[Jennasis]

I think that was a no-brainer. Sarah's was just so listless and boring and poorly done. At leastthe others tried to go interesting. I can't help but feel like I've seen her somewhere before. I just know that face.

How about Ivy getting sick??? My goodness! Hope she'll be okay.

I am watching it online right now. I really want to punch Gretchen in the face so far.

Oh I am am so sorry Casanova didn't go home. I can't stand him either.

I kinda want to punch AJ in the face.

Just an FYI-Lifetime has the current episode on their website-I just re-watched it

The designers have had help with finishing their projects in the past. I am not sure how I feel about it but it must not b against the rules

 

[missypie]

I think it's sort of a positive reflection on a designer if there are people who are WILLING to help.

It's interesting that speed of design and construction is such a huge factor in the competition. If the best undiscovered designer in the nation was not speedy, he/she would have no chance on this show.

Wonder how long it would take Michael Kors to design and construct a dress?

I think his design was really good, but when it comes down to picking a winner, one who did a great design and did the work themselves in the time limit of the challenge should be picked over someone who needed help, from not just 1 but 2 others, to get that design out on the runway. I'm not saying he should have been eliminated, but I don't think he deserved to win over the other 2 designers in the top 3.
