I thought it was a good start to the season. There wasn't a huge difference in what they had to work with and the sheet equaled things up. It seems like the real difference was the quality of the finished product, although both the pants and the shirt with the front seams were pretty hideous.Pretty fun when Michael Kors made an extremely off color comment about those hideous pant. Rooting for the "old guy". I didn't think the styling was as bad as Michael did. After someone mentioned "nut juice", I did obsess a bit on the model having to wear his boxers that he had slept in. Tyra will probably incorporate that into a challenge on ANTM. The lady with very little sewing experience was pretty impressive! Heidi looked gorgeous, even though that one guy seemed taken with Nina!

I was really surprised that Tim Gunn would actually tell Rafael that he was one of the contestants that was almost thrown out of the competition, and advised him to utilize that scarf! I think that is the most info I've ever heard Tim give a contestant. So, was he trying to help the guy, or intimidate hinm into losing?We'll never know. In the end, it was a clear choice. Whoever was the person that was picked to be thrown out intead, is probably kicking their big screen all over the house... Anyway, there were some not so bad garments, and some pretty nasty looking things. Anya has some amazing potential, if she continues on in the competition with this roll she's on. It'll be interesting to see, after making a pristine pair of pants, what it will be that will totally trip her up. Every one has an achilles heel, it seems. I was suprised that 'men's wear' guy couldn't make a decent short/tennis looking outfit. It looked like it was 2 sizes too small. Do you think he's only good at men's wear?? We'll see. I can't remember if he showed any women's wear during his audition. I think there are some great potentials in this group, and so far, no big fat egos to contend with right out of the gate. But that will definitely come out later. It always does.

I don't think it was simply Nina getting the edge. I think the others supported Nina, that's all. And although I preferred Anthony's dress, he should've made it longer. If he had, he would have won.As for Josh C., I agree -- he failed miserably. His dress wasn't unique or creative, he failed to use his resources wisely (twice), he failed to understand the challenge (again, twice), he didn't take any risks (at least Bryce did), and he didn't really sell his outfit well (although Fallene did worse than him there).

Ugh, no! I hated Josh M's gravel top. It looked like an elementary school art project. I thought it was obvious that he'd thrown it together at the last minute when his original plan fell through, and I couldn't believe the judges didn't call him on it. *puke*The birdseed dress was way better, and should have won, based on complexity of design, fit, and the look of the finished project. The dog bed top was "meh". It didn't fit great, and he used fabric as fabric, which was exactly what he was told not to do. The ombre effect of the bedding on the skirt was a nice touch, but overall, it wasn't a winner (or shouldn't have been!). I actually liked Becky's aquarium foliage dress. The colors could have been better, but I loved that it looked like feathers. Pairing the top with a different skirt could have made the look a real winner, IMO. And, it actually fit her model well, unlike the dog bed top! If Bert doesn't step it up, he's not long for the show. This could have sent him home if he hadn't had immunity. I liked the Purple Piddle Pad dress, also. There was nothing ground breaking about the final look, but he used the materials well. His dye job was great, and the end product didn't look like anything that came out of a pet store.
 Thanks to tribephyl for the sigpic!

I agree; I can never understand when one designer gets blasted for something (using fabric as fabric) & then another get rewarded for doing the same thing. the dog bed top was bulky and unflattering.

13. "Episode 3" |
I missed the first few minutes, so were the contestants told the outfit should be 'ready to wear'? That was the conclusion I came to with how the judges were judging.The whole stilt walker thing made all the outfits look bizarre, if you ask me. Add that to the fact that the models had a bit of trouble walking gracefully down the runway and the whole being out in public thing made this a totally weird episode. In the end, I thought Becky and Kimberly's design was the best and thought it should win. Anthony and Laura's was fine except I didn't like the feathers. Bert/Vicktor's was in the middle for me, but they wound up in the bottom. I did not like Anya/Olivier's - the top was weird, Cecelia/Danielle's - I did not like the colors together, separately they were OK, Joshua/Julie - the top was too short, and Bryce/Fallene - too bad Fallene doesn't know how to cut fabric. I thought Vicktor should have gone instead of Fallene.

So far, I have yet to see anything all that interesting, because the last two challenges were generally a fiasco. Pet supplies? Stilt walkers? Let's talk costume! This would have been right up Mondo's alley, because he was all about costume, but it tells us little about design talent. And to top off the disaster, Kim Kardashian? There are only about 250 million people in America that would be better judges of fashion that that tasteless, talentless bulk,Why Bert and Viktor are both still around is a question that will certainly not need to be asked after two more weeks, since at least one of them will be gone in that time frame. So far, I'm looking forward to the "all-star" edition more and more, because it looks like the idea quotient in this season is seriously lacking. Designing for Nina next week? Zzzz.

19. "Episode 4 (8/18)" |
In a first for PR, the contestants got to design for Nina!Nina is somewhat conservative in her style. I wouldn't exactly call her a fashionista, but maybe that was the point? Nina seemed incredibly critical of just about everybody. That would rattle my nerves! Of course, some of them seemed to completely miss the mark as they did not all design an outfit that was fit for work and also evening. In the end, though, I agreed with the judging. Julie's was the worst! Cecilia was ready to leave and was shocked that she stayed. Ha! Kimberly's was really nice. I think she rose to the challenge with having to alter first, her idea of a dress to pants and then to change it again from the monochromatic look to a whole new top. It was cool!

20. "RE: Episode 4 (8/18)" |
Although I loved Anya's design (as I did in week 1), and Viktor had a fine design, Kimberly's design was probably the rightful winner. For this challenge, showing originality, creativity and a unique point of view isn't quite as important (at least for the winner); instead, flexibility & versatility, making good use of your resources and understanding the challenge are more important. Kimberly did this best of all three of the top 3 designers. She was more flexible and versatile than Viktor and she made better use of her time than Anya.Julie was something of a surprise as I thought Cecelia might go because she not only failed to sell her design on the runway, her attitude wasn't professional at all! Heck, if I'd been in her shoes I would've tried to do the best I could and not give up! But Cecelia gave up! However, I now think Julie was the better choice. Although neither designer showed originality or creativity, neither used their resources well and neither understood the challenge, Cecelia was more flexible and versatile than Julie, since Cecelia (along with Danielle) was in the top 3 in the previous challenge and had never been in the bottom 3 (even if she'd never been in the top 3 in the first two challenges); whereas Julie had been in the bottom 3 for three out of the first four weeks (including this one)! Julie was the weakest link, sad to say.

Cecelia was an idiot! If she wanted to go, she should've told the judges to get rid of her, instead of Julie, last week! Or maybe she asked but they wouldn't let her go. Still, at least Josh C. came back. I hope he does better.It wasn't a real surprise that Viktor won the challenge. He was probably the best leader and his collection was cohesive. Also, it was probably the best (or one of the best)of a rather dull lot. I was surprised that Josh M. had also won -- for a dress that Anya created! Part of me thinks Anya should've gotten the win, since she created the dress -- and it's happened once before, when Ra'Mon won a challenge when he wasn't the team captain! Also, Josh was a real jerk to Becky at first, causing her to cry. However, thinking it over now, I can see why the judges chose Josh M as the winner instead of Anya. He clearly asserted himself as a leader, the collection was cohesive, and although he treated Becky badly, at least he apologized to her later on -- even if he still didn't think much of her aesthetic. As for Anthony Ryan, Bert, & Laura Kathleen, there was plenty of blame to go around. Bert seems to be a jerk as well -- even more so than Josh M., so Anthony Ryan & Laura Kathleen can't have been happy to have him on their team. However, shunning him isn't really the best way to handle the situation! Worse, Anthony Ryan was so focused on Bert that he forgot to do a great job on his own garment! Thus he fell apart. Although Anthony Ryan's outfit was clearly the worst, there was still good reason to send Danielle home. First, her point of view is more limited than Anthony Ryan's, and she's less creative than he is. Second, although Anthony Ryan was hardly flexible in how he handled Bert, Danielle was inflexible in her choice of materials -- she always uses chiffon. But the kicker was versatility. Anthony Ryan had been in the Top 3 three times and never been in the Bottom 3. Danielle, on the other hand, had only been in the Top 3 once -- probably by default, and with Cecelia, who's now gone -- and she was in the Bottom 3 once -- last week, along with Cecelia and Julie. Thus Nina was probably correct to stand by the decision to get rid of Danielle.

36. "RE: Season 9 Discussion" |
I think it's about time we talked about Episode 6.I liked the idea of having the designers work with art students and use the paintings as inspiration for an avant-garde look. I liked the outer space painting most and would've loved to have used it as inspiration for my look if I'd been on the show (as you can tell, I wasn't on it). It's interesting that Bert and Josh M. had their edits softened this week. I wonder if they'll go back to being jerks next week. Probably. I liked Anya's outfit a lot and I really think it should've been in the Top 3 but maybe the fabric she chose for her skirt kept her from being in the Top 3. Or maybe the fact that Nina Garcia wasn't there (the senior fashion editor for the magazine she works for was there instead) kept her from being in the Top 3. Anyway, Anthony Ryan probably deserved the win -- unless he intended to finish the hem and didn't do so. Josh C. was definitely the right choice to go home. Although Bert's design was a too-literal interpretation of the painting, at least he understood the challenge better than Josh C. (or Oliver, for that matter), and although Oliver's outfit made Heidi pretend to fall asleep (which I found funny), at least he has a distinct point of view.

39. "RE: Episode 7" |
I was surprised by the effusive praise coming toward the winning team from the judges. Like you, my favorite piece was Vicktor's dress; he's not only the star of this season but the first person I've seen on this show since it moved to Lifetime who always comes up with an interesting idea that isn't pure kitsch. Olivier's jacket was great. I thought Anya's outfit was really nice as well, but it was my third choice from the winning team. However, the other two pieces: Anthony Ryan's and Bryce's, reeked. Frankly, after Joshua, both of them should go.From the losing team, there wasn't much. Bert's dress was probably the best piece, but I'm not a fan of mid-calf. Joshua is not only a drama queen, but his design was an absolute mess. And he picked the fabrics! But he was saved from going home because Becky's outfit showed absolutely nothing in terms of design. I'm not sure she really understands the term. In the end, the judges made the right choice of who to send home, and the winning outfit was at least good, although not the best. I have to say that Vicktor seems like a lock for final three, and I'd be surprised if Anya didn't make it as well. But I have no idea who is likely to be the third.

Well, Oliver had a fine jacket but I don't know how good his pants were. As for Viktor's gown, it was gorgeous!However, there's more to being a winning designer than just creating a great outfit (though it always helps). You have to be creative and show a unique point of view, you have to be flexible and versatile, you have to use your resources well, you have to understand the challenge, and you have to take risks. I think Anya followed these rules as well as Viktor, and better than Oliver. But what might have gotten her the win over Viktor was the fact that she is great at prints, and that Bryce said she should be the winner. As for Joshua, he was a drama queen and this affected the team to the point that no one on his team could create a great garment! The best of that group was Laura, and that's not saying much! I really hope Joshua learns his lesson about being a team player, because his actions almost got him the boot! However, Becky was the right choice to go home. Her outfit was boring, she wasn't especially flexible or versatile, she didn't use her resources well, she didn't take risks and she gave an excuse about the skirt on her model. I think Becky's just too meek to really defend herself well, and that contributed to her demise, sad to say.

I think Anya got the win for the way she used the fabric, not for an incredible design. Her outfit wasn't my favorite, but considering what the challenge was, using the fabric well wasn't a bad criterion in picking the winner.Oliver's jacket looked nice from the back and from the waist down, but "impeccable tailoring"?! As the judges were talking about how awesome his jacket was, the screen cut to a shot of his model walking down the runway in it, and HER BOOB WAS FLAPPING. Except it wasn't her boob. It was the jacket shaping around her boob. Look at the picture on Lifetime.com. Oliver made it for someone with a cup size at least 3 times larger than his model. Look how weirdly it fits through the bust. The thing freaking FLAPPED as she walked. (And this isn't the first time he's had trouble designing for breasts, either. Remember week two, when he made that horrible potato sack of a top that made his model look like her breasts were sagging down to her bellybutton? My chest has better perk than that, and I'm a 30-something mother of 4!) Victor's gown was my favorite, and probably would have deserved the win had he actually used the fabric they designed. His Rorschach blots were very well done. That could have very easily turned into "ZOMG LOOK AT HER NIPPLES" but he avoided that effect entirely. Very impressive and totally flattering. I thought Kimberly's outfit was much worse than Becky's. The front of the blouse is just plain frumpy looking. There's something wrong with the neckline (construction issue?). The belt was weird. And WTF was up with that skirt? She got a pass for not using the ugly fabric the team created, but her outfit was so terrible, I couldn't understand how the judges didn't call her on it. So, they had two fugly skirts, but Becky's fit better and was more flattering. Two meh tops, but Becky's fit better and was more flattering. One nasty belt (Kimberly's) and one very nice jacket (Becky's), and Becky got sent home? Kimberly is hella lucky that Becky didn't just opt not to use the design fabrics!

This season is so uninspiring. I don't think any of them should win ...and I am beginning to not care. Maybe it's because the show starts at 9pm... or maybe because it's 1 1/2 hours? I find myself looking at the computer clock, knowing it's coming on, and not forcing myself to go turn it on. I have caught part of the episodes, but all I'm really left with caring about is the runway and the reveal of the winner and loser... because I can't stomach the stupid drama in the workroom. Anyone else?This week, they had to design for a man, who actually gave them tips for how to design for their wife/girlfriend. Anya won with a horrid the-70s-called-and-they-want-their-dress-back one shoulder/giraffe pattern look. Bryce went home with a hot pink mess. Who cares? The only dress I liked was Josh's. Bert's was OK. Anthony Ryan - is this a tennis dress?, Vicktor - those colors were horrid together, Olivier - did the front of that shirt get stuck in the sewing machine?, Laura - was that curtains?, Kimberly - not only a bubble butt, but bubble boobs too? ew.ew.ew.ew.

I'm so with you on this J-Bug. I mean really, we found that: Oliver doesn't like oobies. Oliver doesn't like tushies. Oliver doesn't like client feedback. Oliver really doesn't like clients. Um... so you only want to design for twigs who have no shape, no brain and no mouth. Have fun trying to design for the real world, honey.

60. "Episode 10" |
Flashbacks!This week, they had to design a look which modernized something form the 70s. The guest judge? Olivia Palermo? *rolls eyes* Whitney Port's nemesis from "The City". A rich snob girl who works for Elle magazine (or did when she was on The City.) Anywhooooooo... They each had $100, but Anya lost hers while she was in Mood. She was left with only $11 and change from Anthony Ryan and actually made a nice outfit out of her bit of fabric and the muslin. They also were told later to make a second look for $50 and it was back to Mood, for only 15 minutes! I thought Vicktor's designs were nice, but the judges thought his jacket was too much, though impeccably tailored. Anya pulled out 2 good looks. Bert's were not my favorite, even though the judges thought his little two-toned dress was sell-able. They chose both Anya's and Bert's second look to be on Piperlime. Anthony Ryan's, Kimberly's and Joshua's were all hideous, as was Laura Kathleen's first look, though her second one was nice. I am really hating Laura Kathleen more every week. Almost as much as I hate Joshua!

I never saw The City, but I though Olivia Palermo was both attractive and well-spoken, plus she actually seemed to know what she was talking about, unlike all of the know-nothing wannabe judges that say, "I'd like to wear that" (like Heidi always does).I thought Bert's designs were the best of the episode, but I think Anya's "the look for less" led to her victory. Plus, she's incredibly talented, as is Viktor. Bert isn't, but he's a good craftsman, and he nailed this challenge. I thought Joshua was going home, but I was wrong. I don't know how Laura Kathleen ended up in the bottom three instead of Kimberly.

71. "RE: Birds! And After the Runway" |
Well, I didn't see any way Josh's beach towel with a corsage dress should have won. The color was striking. The design, not so much. It didn't evoke bird to me at all.Burt's had split personalities. I LOVED the bottom half. In fact, when the model stepped out and the skirt flared, I said, "Wow," out loud. It was my favorite until they zoomed in on the model's torso, and I could see just how bad the bodice was. I certainly saw more of the bird in Burt's than in Josh's. While I didn't love Anya's design, I did think it evoked "Raven" without being overly literal. It was definitely the best design on the runway. I didn't hate Laura's ruffles, because her bird was the raven, and they do have a bit of a ruff. Anya's design was just better. Victor's dress was, IMO, the worst out there. The silhouette was dreadful. The only good thing about it was the color. He should have gone home, if the judges were basing on this challenge alone. Kimberly's dress wasn't fantastic, but Victor's was much worse. I noticed that Victor made a huge deal over the fact that Kimberly "stole" his asymmetric, but no one said a word about her layered, slitted skirt revealing a flash of color JUST LIKE BURT'S. You know Burt's design that got him sent home? Yeah, that one. Re: After the Runway... why wasn't Anya there in the beginning? Why did they have to bring her in part way through?
 Thanks to tribephyl for the sigpic!

I agree with you - she could send her model down the runway with two band aids as pasties and NY Times covering her nether regions and the judges will call it brilliant. They think she can do nothing wrong.

What's to stop her fro getting help with the sewing? Are there rules that say they have to sew every stitch themselves? If so & she got help, how would anyone know?

88. "Finale" |
or should I say "The End"IMO Kimberly should have won. I base my picks on wearable designs, & I liked most all of hers; especially the 1st one - the diagonal stripe top - really nice! I'd wear that in a minute! Victor had made wearable items until the finale. What happened to him?? What was with all the see thru stuff? Joshua had some I liked & some I did not. Even tho I wasn't crazy about the plastic, his last 2 designs with the plastic at the top were pretty. Anya? I agree the flowing designs were lovely; however, it was obvious she didn't have a lot of construction skill in any of them. They saved her at the final 4 event so she could win. It IS about design after all; she can get someone else to sew for her. I can see Agman October 2011

89. "RE: Finale" |
Here are what I think led to the outcomes for each designer:Kimberly: Although Kimberly had a cohesive collection, she isn't as flexible or versatile as even Josh, let alone Anya or Viktor -- at least not during the whole season. Viktor: He failed to create a cohesive collection and became too flexible or versatile. It's a fine line between being inflexible and too flexible and Viktor crossed it. It didn't help his cause any that his point of view may be a bit too subtle for Project Runway either. Josh: He had a more obvious point of view than Viktor but his collection also wasn't as cohesive as it could've been. And let's face it -- Josh is unprofessional and he lacks the charisma that Anya has in spades. Anya -- although her collection was somewhat one-note at least it showed a distinct point of view. And she avoided the errors that doomed Viktor and Josh in terms of flexibility. It also helped that she is pretty and very charismatic. In a nutshell, that's why Kimberly, Viktor and Josh are all out and Anya is IN -- as the winner. And I was so thrilled when she won! I was jumping up and down and cheering!

90. "RE: Finale" |
Let me start off by saying that there is no doubt in my mind that this was the most lackluster season of Project Runway so far. There have been winners who didn't make it (season 2 and 3's "QVC Chloe" Dao and Jeffrey Sebelia, for example), and I think that's led the panel to pick people who were more likely to succeed based on having "big" personalities. Thus, we get season 7's Seth Aaron Henderson, who might not have made a name in fashion yet but has instead become a TV fashion personality, surpassing season 2's Santino Rice.Based on that criteria, I told my kids that Anya and Josh would be the final two and that Anya would win. And so it was, despite a series of pathetic final collections from all four of the finalists. * * * * * * * If we look at Project Runway winners, after Christian Siriano and Jay McCarroll, you have Leanne Marshall and then Irina Shabayeva, who have each been successful but are each still a rung away from breakout success, and Gretchen Jones, who has done a very good job of turning her controversial win into a brand and may well be looked at a year from now as the show's second most successful winner: http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/fashion/fashion_week/gretchen_jones_AQeIKSIR5C1nKO5veWWljN Of course, it was still a mistake for the judges to have picked QVC Chloe over Daniel Vosovic at the end of season 2, and Daniel keeps that mistake from going away every time he shows another collection. There was a reason that the producers put together an one-off "All-Star" challenge on Lifetime for him to win -- so that they could list him as a winner. I have to admit that I wonder if there isn't a similar motivation behind this second Project Runway All-Stars that's coming up.

Personally, I don't think that Mondo has the same passion for making himself into a star brand that some of the others do ... and did. If he wins this All-Stars, I'll be very surprised.

91. "ugh" |
IMO, they were all not worthy. If Viktor had just done the print thing on all designs, he could have taken it. Kimberly and/or Anya should've never made it past last week. Josh??? Um. the 80s called and they want their day-glo colors back! I agree with AyaK... this is the weakest season ever.

I haven't watched it yet but will. & I agree about the time. Why give them so little time? I guess the more time they give them tho the more time they have the camera people on the clock.
