Will Heidi show up with her new boy toy? Will Nina finally let loose with a fuck this shit these people are morons and I’m out of here? Will the one hundred and one contestants this time be forced to weave haute couture from stuff found on the floor?
Who else is going to tune in and gawk besides me?
ME, i don’t care what bitter kittehs say, I like the pace, the personnalities, the product and the progesterone?
lets see what they come up with this season!
I like that they had a chance to see the garments up close. They are right that the glow of the runway can be misleading, and this way at least they can see the workmanship for real.
I liked the personality of the person who got kicked off the best. Too bad.
That was a great episode. I love the new Tim Gunn power and the way he put in his two cents. I thought Deaf Guy should have won it as I liked his designs best. It was gorgeous without being obvious. I want the Duchess back as the show needs him desperately. Zac looks like a kid too much, and Nina is a bit too harsh. I would have not picked the winning design as it seemed far too literal for me tonight. I think Enviro-Boy is going to have a tough time of it. You don’t lecture the judges and insult the sponsor by refusing to use their products.
Whoo hoo, this looks like a good one! Love, love, love the changes in judging. Tim’s save is a little hokey, but other than that, the changes are brilliant. Especially like that the runway is anonymous.
My top three for the season: Sue (older woman with the leather coat, came in second), Bradon (winner), and Joshua (deaf guy). Could British guy BE more of an improvement over last season’s British guy? I think this year’s villain might be better, too!
I thought it was great that the judges can see stuff up close, I love that they are getting input from Tim as well (about how hard someone worked or didn’t) – the judges had wossername in the high scorers, until Tim told them that he had warned her about not using the parachute material. His comment about giving her an F was (IMHO) right on target, and I’m glad that he gave the judges that input and they reconsidered.
I think that Victor (? the eco-guy) is a nutcase. In the pre-show, he came across as environmentally-concerned, but not nutso about it. No makeup? No shoes? And a dress that looked like she’d escaped from a WWII prison camp (dress torn and burned)… Sheesh. Nina hit the nail on the head: all for being green and environmentally friendly, but it needs to still LOOK gorgeous. The model was pissed, and rightly so.
Timothy. Victor was the nutcase from season 4.
I can’t believe the judges didn’t get on the Russian guy’s case for those NFSW shorts. At least the model was able to laugh about it.
I thought she was more embarrassed than anything. She was trying to cover up the kitty by using the octopus. And after they took off the fluffy shawl-thing she actually crossed her legs standing up.
I liked it. The changes they’ve made in the judging format are good, but the “keep track of your own money” was a bit over-the-top in the product placement department for my taste.
Eco-boy (Wacko-boy) Timothy seems like such a fraud. I hate to see authentic, worthwhile efforts toward sustainability reduced to schtick in order to suck up as much attention as possible. Bad luck of the draw for his model, but I hope they keep calling him out on his fakery and boot him soon. And yes, his “design” stunk up the room. He’s in stiff competition for attention-hogging from the Russian guy. Both are trying way too hard to get camera time, with little apparent talent or taste on display.
I loved the winning dress. Beautifully made and all swirly.
The NSFW booty shorts would have worked well, IMHO, had they not been x-rated. He made a nice piece. My favorites were the winning look and Deaf guy’s dress.
The fact that he was standing there on the runway wearing those glittery high heels while his model was barefoot (and without her hair and makeup done) made him look like a total dick. Hey, if you’re a guy that likes to wear high heels, be my guest. But it looked almost like he was making a joke out of it: “Haha, I get to be pretty and sparkly, and my model has to stand here looking like crap! Haha!” If he really were devoted to this whole eco-thing (even though it’s an obvious attention-whore tactic), he would have gone out there au naturale as well.
At least the judges pointed out how stupid he looked.
I still can’t believe they didn’t even mention it. Is it now taboo to even discuss the good china on television?
Surprisingly, I got hooked on this last season. I have last night’s episodes on the DVR, waiting for some friends to watch with tonight.
I have been a faithful viewer since Season One, but last season did me in. I vowed not to watch EVER AGAIN but sucked into it last night. Already it’s better than last season. I liked Eco Boy in the Road to the Runway. I thought he had great ideas and beautiful garments. But he showed the mental side of him last night and he can go home next week.
I like Zac Posen better than Kors as a judge. He has more thoughtful and practical comments, although nothing will beat some of the stuff that came out of the Orange One. “That crotch is INSANE.” “I didn’t like that AT ALL.” “It’s very MOB–mother of the bride.” Maybe get rid of Nina and have Kors, Posen and a guest judge every week???
I miss Kors.Here’s his highlight reel.
Without the Duchess, who’s going to say “Slutty, slutty, slutty!”?
“It looks like a slutty cat toy” is the first bar set in bitchery this season.
And apparently vaginæ are out this year, at least if you model for Sandro.
Is it me or do Timothy and Miranda look like they could be brother and sister?
I’m so excited – this is my first season in real time. (I don’t have cable and have traditionally waited and caught the whole thing on DVD.)
“Slutty cat toy” was good – and I also liked it that Zac called Eco-Boy on setting fire to the fabric and releasing toxic fumes. Can’t wait for Eco-Boy to go home, and can’t wait for the Swedish bitch to go home. Also looks like the Russian is pretty nuts.
Not just you – something is in the Milwaukee water.
ETA and they remind me (unfortunately) of the rectangle-face Muppet woman that should not have beat Mondo.
I love Eco-Boy. He has a vision.
