Mitchell should have been tossed. Even the dress he made before she didn’t fit was ugly, but there was no excuse for that see through mumu. Ari’s certifiable though–red carpet? I’m so happy this show is back.
Yes, I spotted Mountaha and I think she should have won “Supermodel”. And I agree that Korto should have won the All-Star game. Although I admire her work something bothers me about her personality. She’s very assertive and confident in the sewing room but on the runway she acts all shy and demure, turning one foot, cocking her head, looking down. Cut it out!
Mitchell’s bad measurements may have saved his ass, because what he was planning on was hideous.
Korto got robbed. As someone mentioned above (and as my daughter and I remarked when we first saw it) Daniel’s “design story” appeared to me to be “suicide bomber at the Olympics”. The dress was okay, but not nearly good enough to compensate for the other awful, ugly, poorly sewed crap up there.
ETA that I did see Mountaha modeling Chris’s dress, and also Shannon from season one working for Sweet P.
I don’t really think Daniel won on the strength of his red carpet dress–I think he won because the judges have always had their tongues so far up his ass they could lick his tonsils. You remember the inspiration challenge from that season, right? The one where Andre made that gorgeous evening gown inspired by the gravel in the muddy gutter, but came in second to that horrible, horrible tweedy thing Daniel made because it was just so incredibly original for a designer to be inspired by a freaking flower? Yeah.
My favorite part of show was actually the part where the blond lady sat there and said that people tend to underestimate her intelligence because she’s blond. She then looked at the camera dumbstruck as she attempted to form a coherent sentence as to why they feel that way.
Pure comedy gold.
Although I agree that Ari had the worst dress (the disco soccer ball), I’m kind of sorry to see her go. You hate to see the certifiably crazy person kicked off on the first show.
The all-star show was pretty interesting, and I agree that Daniel’s looks were pretty gross, but I would have gagged myself down the highway if Korto had won. She is so full of herself, and she was such a sour puss and bad sport about not winning that I am glad she lost. Maybe if she wasn’t always putting out such bad energy she might have better karma.
As for the new season, I think it was a rip-off that Nicole K taped a 30 second bit and they all were fawning and drooling like it was just soooooo special. Big whoop.
And also, how funny was it that Linday lohan had to vote off a chick that looked just like Samantha Ronson?
I did watch the model show afterwards, and I see the producers have cleverly put the designers picking their models for the next challenge in that show. I will watch for that reason alone because it helps with any anticlimactic feelings the elimination may leave me with.
I have watched Project Runway since season 1, and the judges decisions have no rhyme or reason and no consistency. It just it what it is.
I would have loved to see Kara Saun on the all-star show. She was robbed of the win in season 1. Korto is talented, I will admit, but she is no Kara Saun. I would have loved to see those two go against each other so Korto’s ego would get knocked down a notch or two…or five.
I just got around to watching the All-Star challenge and I’m glad that I’m not the only one who thought 3 out 4 of Daniel’s designs were hideous. Whoever said upthread that it was East German Olympic suicide bomber chic had it exactly right. Yuck.
I was also shocked that they liked Sweet P’s stuff, too. A ring of roses around the collar? Random flowers pasted all over? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills! It was better than Santino’s (the worst of the 8), but only just barely.
One of these days, I’d like to see Project Muslin.
No frenzied destruction of restaurants to get material, no dumpster-diving, no panicked racing around Mood.
Just “You have two fabrics to work with. Natural muslin and white muslin.” so they can compete on their lines and shapes and not distract us with sequins and glitter.
Oh, and no Namedrop Hair Salon and makeup. Again, don’t distract us with bizarre hair and mascara. “East German Olympic suicide bomber chic” was one of the worst - looked like she had some really bad clumping and flaking around her eyes, and I think it was her hairdresser that said something about “I’ll try not to damage your hair.” :eek:
Not nearly as funny as the fact that Lindsay Lohan, a woman who has marketed leggings with kneepads in them, a woman who is frequently featured on Go Fug Yourself under the heading “Look Into Pants”, a woman who went out in public in this and this, is judging Project Runway.
Thank for bringing up Lohan as the guest judge, sulamith & DianaG. My jaw dropped when auf’d Ari got a lecture in propriety–propriety! of all things–from La Lohan:
Oh, it’s just too epic. Overall, I’m looking forward to this season, but am glad I can fast forward through all the Lifetime-esque commercials.
