"Season 9 Discussion"
It's probably best if we can just use one thread for the whole season, since each of the previous threads have minimal responses.

So? ...did anyone watch last night?

I agreed with the judges choices for the winner and the bootee. Bert's dress was really nice.

I liked this challenge! They had to get up at 5 am, take their pajamas and a bed sheet and make a design. They had access to notions and dyes. There were some pretty cool designs and some horrid ones!

LAST EDITED ON 07-29-11 AT 05:10 PM (EST)

I'd rather have had Anya win but I'm accepting of the judges' choice of Bert as the winner since they may want to wait and see if Anya's successful design was the result of beginner's luck or natural talent.

Rafael was probably the right choice to be booted. He made the fatal error that Kirsten made in Season 2: he failed to use all his resources to his best effect. Although he did use his headscarf, unlike Kirsten who refused to use a scarf that had sentimental value for her, he still didn't use it well.

2. "RE: Season 9 Discussion"
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!

Glad Rafael was the one to go.
I wanted the judges to ask him if he even took his pants apart & remade them or if he just used the pants as they were and added the seams to the front.
They were hideous!

Altho the judges praised the pants made by the inexperienced seamstress, they were not perfect; they bulged in the front when the model was walking; I expected them to bring her to task on that.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought those pants were a little messed up in the front.

I watched part of the casting special, and that was a bit of a waste. I just don't care enough, and the casting process wasn't that interesting.

5. "RE: Season 9 Discussion"
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 thought Tim told Rafael in pretty unmistakeable language that the way Rafael was going, he'd be out after this challenge. And so he was.

Personally, I thought the 4-person cutdown was stupid. But the first challenge was much better than the normal first challenge. And the right person left.

I didn't understand the point of cutting 4 people before we really knew anything about them. I would say that I didn't care about any of them, but I have to admit that I'd have liked to have gotten to know what someone named Gunnar Deathrage would have brought to the season. Gunnar Deathrage. Cool name.


So was Raphael's reluctance to use the head scarf (until day 2) because he had messy hair? Way to bring it, Raphael. Buh-bye.


I liked the puking clown shirt girl.

What? Nobody got here before me?

OMG! Anthony's bird seed dress should have won!!! Why does Nina always get the edge when she and Heidi disagree? The one that won, Olivier's dress made of dog bed and hamster bedding, did not have nearly as intricate of a design as Anthony's. Even Josh M's aquarium gravel one was better!

That being said, the right person went home. Josh C. has done very poorly. He could've gone last week with that crap design. This week was bad as well. Auf Wiedersehen!

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).

10. "RE: Episode 2"
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.

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.

*nods* Yes. The birdseed one def. should've been the winner. Over on the PR website, that one has 5 stars while the winning dog bed/hamster bedding one has only 3 (from fan voting)!

I do not think the gravel top one was the best, but I did like it much more than the dog bed top. It was a way more creative use of materials than simply cutting up a dog bed and stitching it back up.

I like the purple wee wee pad dress too! I thought it looked great and was also very creative unlike the blue wee wee pad dress.

Just got around to watching on my DVR. I will never understand the judging - the dog bed dress was awful. It looked like he removed the stuffing and cut holes for the head and arms. It looked like a dog bed.

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.

agree it was strange.
One model in particular had trouble walking; I think something was said about her having to borrow stilts. Wondered why...

Some of the judges choices make it pretty clear to me that they watch some of the film footage made during the process.

16. "RE: Episode 3"
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.

They were told not to go costumey by Heidi, but later Tim told at least one pair to think couture fashion show and walk that line between outrageous and wearable.

Well, Viktor was more creative than Fallene and more flexible and versatile (at least with materials) than Fallene. Overall, he used his resources better than Fallene and he took more risks than Fallene (although in her case, it was because she was too inexperienced to take risks). I also think Viktor may have sold himself better than Fallene. However, neither one really understood the nature of the challenge and Viktor was worse when it came to being professional on and off the runway. Still, Fallene's errors were worse than Viktor's.

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.

I loved Kimberly's design. For me, it would strictly be a night time look but it is something that I might wear.

Still don't get how two could end up with the same patterned fabric in a store the size of Mood. I can understand the same color, but a pattern is different.

I don't know all of their names, but they sure seem to be catty. I think the extra length of the show allows us to see this more. I like it.

Pretty funny when Bert said he thought it might be Oliver, not realizing that Oliver was sitting next to him. Perhaps dementia is setting in as he gets sleep deprived?

Oh yes! LOL! That was too funny when Bert did not realize Olivier was right next to him.

I thought the two with the same patterned fabric actually did a nice job of making them different from each other.

Honestly, the best part about this show for me is Tim. I love him! The designers could be different people each week and I could care less. As for the judges... I think Heidi is cute, but really don't care for Micheal or Nina, nor do I care for the endless parade of guest judges.

Make it work! ~ Tim.

I like Anya and hope she does well, but most of the others I could take or leave. The exceptions are Bert, whose attitude stinks and Cecelia, who gave up. I want those two gone asap. If Viktor's attitude remains as poor as it was in the third episode (and briefly in the fourth), I'll want him gone soon as well.

27. "Episode 5 (8/25)"
So, the designers had to run a race to become team captains for this challenge. Heidi even ran in her giant heels! The 4 quickest would be the team leaders. There were only 11 people left (why didn't they just do this last week?) therefore the 4th place team could choose any eliminated designer to come back and help them. They chose Josh C.

The teams had to design a 3 piece collection to go with Heidi's new athletic shoes and the winning design would be sold online. Working in teams caused drama. drama. drama. Anthony Ryan tried so hard to get Bert to conform to his ideas that he forgot to work on his own outfit, but Bert's was the only nice thing about that team's collection. Josh M. saw Becky as nothing more than a seamstress and she went nuts! They did work it out though.

In the end, the judges did not like any one collection, but said there were outfits in each that were good and bad. Heidi announced 2 team leaders as winners, Vicktor and Josh M. The bottom 2 were Anthony Ryan and Danielle and I was hoping for a double elimination. Once again, Nina & Heidi disagreed and Nina won by sending Danielle home. I think Heidi was right. They are supposed to judge only this week and Anthony Ryan's outfit was horrid!

I'm usually not a fan of returning contestants but I think Josh C got a bad deal when he was eliminated so I'm glad he's got his second chance.

I didn't like Vicktor's team looks, the jacket did look well made but not very original (thought it looked like retro '80s) and the rest of the gray pieces all looked pretty blah.

I can see why the judges kept Anthony Ryan over Danielle but I'm not sure it was fair.

30. "RE: Episode 5 (8/25)"
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.

My older daughter loved Josh M.'s fringed jacket. If it were being sold online instead of Anya's dress, she'd buy it.

Anthony Ryan's piece was awful. I can't believe that he did nothing the whole challenge but create that piece of crap. Really, I'm surprised the judges let him survive the fiasco. I guess they hoped it would be better TV to keep him.

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.

38. "Episode 7"
The designers had to work in teams of 5. Each team designed their own fabrics and had to use a video to accompany the runway show.

Joshua was a drama queen again... and his team lost. Imagine that. He offered apologies... again, but his attitude and thinking he knows it all, landed him in the bottom 2. Too bad Becky's outfit sucked, because I wish Joshua went home already! The only thing good out of this team was the construction of Bert's dress, but the fabric design (by Joshua) was awful.

I'm not sure I agree that Anya's outfit was the best from the winning team. I thought Olivier and Vicktor had the better ones. Vicktor's dress was gorgeous!

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.

41. "RE: Episode 7"
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.

Kimberly (I think is her name) didn't use the prints at all; I know they only had to use it in 3; but why? How would they have settled any argument if others had refused to use the prints?

I agree Joshua needs to go; but as with all reality shows, he'll be kept around for more drama.

I thought Becky designed the gears that were used on Burt's dress.

43. "RE: Episode 7"
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!

Also Oliver's jacket - the sleeves were not fitted well to the shoulder & there was too much fabric in the upper sleeve - it sagged.


I agree Kimberly's wasn't that great; haven't designers taken heat before for making fabric bulge around the models hips - making the hips look fat. That skirt was sloppy.

45. "Episode 8"
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.

Actually Joshua won not Anya (who I agree was inexplicably in the top three, that looked like something Mrs Roper would wear on Three's Company). I'm not seeing why the judges seem to love Anya so much - and didn't earlier in the season they say she doesn't sew?

It was obvious Bryce was being sent home, that pink thing was the worst up there by far so there was no suspense at the end of this episode. It didn't even fit and the pockets were just bad.

Oliver is a spoiled little cookie.
I haven't liked much that he has done, but...
he only wants to design for mannikins?
No boobs, no butt, just a straight stick figure.
How does he even expect to become a successful designer - or should I say WHO does he expect to design for? He acts like designs & clothing are not for real people to wear.
Guess he could design for some futuristic robots.

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.

I agree with you as well. I don't think he will last much longer, next episode will be designing for men which should be difficult for Olivier.
On another subject - Bert is becoming the Dandrew of Project Runway. Doing poorly every week but somehow sneaking by.

As has already been pointed out, Joshua M. won, not Anya. I liked Anya's design but the way she sewed that one sleeve most likely did her in as far as her winning.

As for why she was in the Top 3, I think the others were just worse or didn't feature their own point of view enough. Bert's was okay but it was too simple, for example.

It's difficult to feature a distinctive viewpoint in a challenge where it's supposed to matter to you what your client thinks.

That said, I don't think there was any question that Bryce's piece was the worst. I'm not sure that any of them were really good. I was thinking that Viktor's design would look great on Caroline Wozniacki, and she should call him for some new tennis dresses. Other than that, most of the pieces had strong points and also had flaws.

Last season, we learned that a pure costume designer like Mondo could win the audience and almost win the show despite his inability to design anything that real people would want to wear. I feel like this year's cast is a reaction to the trend toward costume wear last season, because most of the cast doesn't do costume. The problem is that the judges (except for Heidi and some of the celebrity guest judges) don't want costume but they also want innovation, and it's simply hard to innovate on a tight timeline without turning to costume.

Good idea doesn't seem like this one gets a lot of traffic. Anyway I finally got a chance to catch up on the season....sometimes I question how people could actually manage to get on this show. Sometimes I feel like they really don't want talent after all the only designer I ever hear about from that show is Christian Siriano, but maybe he just wanted it the most.

I'm just really glad that Olivier (aka OLIVER) is GONE! He had a horrible attitude, drove Tim nuts, and made me want to scream every time I had to listen to his whiney little voice!

In the real world, you design for your client, not YOURSELF! You don't get to choose who comes to you, not if you want to eat, anyway. Maybe he has no problem with that, I dunno. But he was a jerk, and had no concept of time. The whole world revolved around him. Until now.....

Olivier was the right choice to go. He was just too inflexible when it came to designing for real-life people and he failed to use his time wisely throughout much of his time on the show. It was bound to catch up to him sooner or later and it caught up to him in this challenge. His failure to be professional didn't help his cause any, although it wasn't the only cause of his well-deserved departure.

Wow. I thought last week was bad, but this week we learned that;

Oliver can't work without a mannikin.
Oliver doesn't like big men.
Oliver doesn't mind telling his CLIENT that there isn't a mannikin big enough to use on such a big man.
Oliver doesn't have a concept of time - especially deadlines.
Oliver may make men's clothing, but when faced with a real man, he can't sew. (Which leads me to believe that the "men" have to be shaped exactly like the female twigs.)

Oliver is a whiny little trout.

Olivier came across as a whiny diva. Good riddance.

To be honest, though, what most surprised me the most this week was Bert giving Laura Kathleen his excess funds at Mood so that she could buy all the fabric she'd picked out, and then Laura spending the entire rest of the show sniping at Bert in confessionals.

The Sheepdogs were a really different challenge. Anya's Pocahontas outfit was clearly the worst, but she deserved a break because of the difficulty of the challenge for someone with no experience with menswear. And I liked Michael's take on Kimberly's shirt ("bowling shirt") and Glambert's take ("Salvation Army, $5 bin").

Glambert appears to know more about fashion than singing.

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.

Anthony Ryan: how anyone could pair up those prints & think they looked good? I'm old fashioned; things need to math for me.
His second one looked super comfortable - a less loud print might have made it more acceptable to the judges.

Look at these side by side.

Viktor did a fine job with his outfits but I think what earned Anya the win over him was the resourcfulness she showed. Although she failed to use her monetary resources wisely (she lost it), she used just about every other resource right afterwards and was able to do something that looked good despite having only muslin and 11 dollars! Her second outfit was fabulous as well.

Although Joshua's outfits were hideous, at least he took a risk and you can't say his outfit was boring. Anthony Ryan didn't really take a risk and his outfits were both bad and boring. Also, would they really get rid of a volatile man like Joshua?

Didn't see After the Runway. However, I'm not surprised that he wasn't self-aware or able to laugh at himself. He just doesn't strike me as that type of guy.

As for the challenge itself -- I loved Anya's dress (even if she had to sew her model into and then cut her out of the outfit). Joshua's outfit was fine but I liked Anya's more. And what a turnaround for Kimberly! I'm glad she was able to beat Viktor.

Viktor's outfit was impeccably made but his outfit was too literal in terms of its inspiration. Laura's was also too literal. And Bert's was just too boring. At least I came to like him by the end of his time on the show.

Although I find Joshua too over the top, I thought he should have won. I'm not getting the Anya lvoe - I wasn't impressed at all with that black piece. I was even less impressed with the hideous rag she didn't send down the runway (Joshua's other piece was just as bad).

Bert was the right choice to go. His dress just looked silly.

I really don't see this as the best.
The hem doesn't look like it was pressed at all. I like hems to be crisp and sharp.
& what is it with those ruffly little caps over the armholes? Talk about literal! Are those the wings?

Seriously, go look closely at this dress. It bunches out over the tummy area. & the lower back part was a complete mess! The upper back was too big on the model. Overall, it was terrible!

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.

I didn't notice at the time, but you're right. Laura Kathleen wasn't on ATR this week. I really wonder if that gives us the final 3 (Victor, Josh, Kimberly), with Bert being this week's boot, and Laura & Anya being the next two.

Interesting. I thought Victor had it in the bag. As long as it's not Josh, I don't particularly care.

I agree - anyone but Josh. His attitude is pissy. His mannerisms - the way he cocks his head, raises his eyebrows, etc. - combined with what comes out of his mouth - all looking like he is so much better than everyone else.
I thought he was never going to get around to making an outright apology to Becky - they had to pull it out of him.

Ana may have just learned to sew but the girl does have a unique & lovely design style.

Victor is okay; yes wearable rack clothing. His last designs had no wow factor.

I can see either Anya or Viktor winning. It's most likely Anya but it could be Viktor if he shows his own unique point of view and takes enough risks to beat Anya. However, I prefer Anya. Still, I agree -- as long as it's not Josh, I'll be happy.

Unlike the judges (and unlike my younger daughter, who likes his designs), I found myself bored stiff by the combination of Josh's attitude and his costume-like designing.

Knowing that everyone in the final nine showed at fashion week (and that Laura Kathleen's designs were generally better received than anyone in the final four except for one), I had difficulty not breaking up with laughter over her waterworks and general histrionics when she was "eliminated" from Fashion Week.

Anya's design sense is striking. But, presuming that she needs to make all of her clothes herself for the final runway show, she's at a huge disadvantage.

Joshua will probably come in third. He's got a bad attitude and his design style is probably not good enough to beat out either Anya or Viktor.

Anya's disadvantage in terms of sewing skills hasn't prevented the judges from loving her work before, but I do agree that it will be a problem for her. She needs to get to work on her designs as quickly as possible and not procrastinate.

I believe that any help they get comes out of their total budget. I think people have used outside help before with some specialty items or textiles like hand knit stuff, but they have to pay the going rate per hour.

So you can spend more money on better textiles or help from people but you have to stay in the total budge for everything.

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.

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:

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.

I actually think there might be a different motive for the new All-Stars edition -- perhaps the feeling that Mondo might have been robbed! That's the one that Gretchen beat, remember.

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.

92. "RE: ugh"
I am in COMPLETE agreement with you Nutsy! I am wondering if Viktor hasn't made his substitutions he would have won it all. Josh's designs were hideous - I only liked the purple dress. There's no way he should have been #2.

Also - gripe, gripe: the after shows were so blah. Nothing good like when Tim and Heidi grill the contestants. Where do I know the host from? She is so familiar. But she was way too gushy and didn't ask any real questions.

Not that I have an opinion one way or another ;)

95. "Tim Gunn: Behind the Seams of Season 9"
Anyone watch? I'm about halfway through it. Mostly, I'm finding it to be dull, but it was interesting to hear him say that next season, he wants to outlaw glue and sewing models into garments. Though he did blame the latter on time constraints, so maybe that will mean more time per challenge? I'd rather see them get 56 hours and wow us than 24 hours to produce something out of an (unenthusiastic!) home ec class!


Thanks to tribephyl for the sigpic!

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.
