And boo to the judges for allowing designers to go matchy-matchy with the color of the jewels and the dominant color of the outfit. (If my jewels are green, I should wear green all over, right?) Those color palate snoozefests should have bored Heidi. ---

> [@stpauler](#): > > His comment, in the middle of a fashion design reality show, about how he hated the jewels because they’re “superficial” now has me completely rooting for him to go. Oh hell yeah! I liked eco-boy last week, but I was appalled by that comment. It’s Project Runway. It’s like a guy that says he wants to be a boxer, but hates the sight of blood. Wake up! Then the woman who had the meltdown had the nerve to lecture eco-boy on how to talk to the judges. But the show is 50/50 fashion and drama. Much like RuPaul’s Drag Race. That’s what makes it so good. ---

As much as I am OK with the outfits she comes up with, the woman Sue bugs me for melting down about the sewing machine. Will she be another woman like the one who won despite never having sewn? I do get that it’s design and not production work, but the workmanship is supposed to count. And I do love the former dancer too. He’s so sweet and I like his outfits. “I regularly have clients who wear half a million or a million dollars worth of jewels…not at all!” ---

He’s so sweet and I like his outfits. “I regularly have clients who wear half a million or a million dollars worth of jewels…not at all!” What I don’t get is why someone would even try to get on this show without taking some basic sewing classes since they should know by now that you don’t just design on PR you have to actually make it yourself. ---

Exactly!!! Sue should have taken a crash course in sewing. This season has already been so much better than last season. ---

Yes – even the supposed bitch broke down crying and was hard on herself. And I love the deaf guy removing his hearing device when the fight started! ---

Well, that was way too much drama and crying for me. And I thought the folks other than the winners were not very strategic with the materials they collected. They kind of shot themselves in the foot picking the crazy colors. ---

Jesus Christ. Some of these people are absolute head cases, even by **Project Runway** standards. ---

I am soooo glad that whiny, crybaby eco-boy is gone. Yikes. Now if only we can do away with the argumentative crybaby Russian guy. ---

Now if only we can do away with the argumentative crybaby Russian guy. “When a voman listens to a man…that is…great.” :eek: ETA: Forgot to say, he was worried about his outfit looking like a drag queen or a costume? After that thing he sent down the runway the first week? ---

Miranda and Sandro are just unbelievably mean. I wish the judges would see them backstage. The blue pants and top that the British guy made were amazing. ---

So what was with the letter from the model to eco-boy? Was she sucking up to a designer so he’d continue to stay with her when they have a choice to pick? He acted like a 6th grader with a love note. “Do you want to be my boyfriend? Check yes or no.” ---

He acted like a 6th grader with a love note. “Do you want to be my boyfriend? Check yes or no.” That had to be written by a producer or PA or someone. Either that, or they bribed the model with carrot sticks so at least the handwriting would match. ---

He acted like a 6th grader with a love note. “Do you want to be my boyfriend? Check yes or no.” My guess is that Timothy had confided in the model previously; the letter was her encouragement offered after the fact. I think there was some time-play with the editing. ---

> [@Yorikke](#): > > My guess is that Timothy had confided in the model previously; the letter was her encouragement offered after the fact. I think there was some time-play with the editing. That was partly my thought; he had a (minor, compared to this week) meltdown after Tim’s critique. And let’s face it; his first model got lucky being picked by someone else for the jewelry challenge. I figured the “You keep fighting through this competition, little guy!” line was more of a “please don’t freak out and leave before I have a chance at the sweet sweet model prize.” ---

Eco-Boy said that unicorns have cloven hooves and are therefore more like hippos, right? I can’t speak to the hoof status of unicorns, but I thought that hippos had webbed toes, not cloven hooves. ---
