Re: unicorns, I don’t want to give him any credence here, but I think he was trying to say that unicorns, if they were real, would not belong to the odd-toed ungulate group, Perissodactyla, but the odd-toed, Artiodactyla.
Stupid him.
I’m just glad we never have to hear another word he has to say about anything – or that annoying placatory laugh – ever again.
Well, that was unsurprising based on the runway. I can understand his desire for some critiques from the judges, but if he can’t control himself any better than that no one’s going to want him to work for them.
Wow. You don’t mess with Zack. When hit with a surprise challenge, he shot down Sandro good and hard. This wasn’t his first time at the diva rodeo.
I thought most of the designs sucked last night. They were either too literal with the bowties or not literal enough. But thank god Sandro is gone. The drama queen act was bad enough. If you can’t even back it up with talent then go fame whore somewhere else.
I agree about the designs. The only two I even liked were Dom’s and Bradon’s, but I didn’t love either of them. But they’re clearly the two frontrunners in the competition. Kate’s I didn’t care for at all: ugly colors, and the pants and top don’t look like they go together at all.
Miranda’s designs so far have all been variations on the same design, a crop top and a pencil skirt. At least Zac Posen finally called her out on that, but as soon as she tries something different, she’s going home.
They let Borat go? Sniff.
I saw only the “36 hours later” teaser and then the introduction of the challenge and then get interrupted. But I am glad to see from this thread that Sandro is gone. What an asshole. I don’t mind some interpersonal drama, but I don’t tune into PR for screaming, cursing, and people throwing things!!
And glad to see I didn’t miss too much in the way of great designs.
Backing up a week, while I think Unicorn Eco Boy would be somebody who could make you fumble for the keys at your own party and I’m not sorry to see him go as a personality, I have to say I didn’t think his and Miranda’s outfit was nearly as bad as the judges did. OTOH, I’d have probably Auf’d him the first week for his ‘Rape of the Sustainable Parachute Woman’ entry, so I guess it balances.
And I think they should add a new “Do Tim Gunn gotta cut a bitch?” Cut to balance his Save. Or the “Do Tim Gunn Gotta Cut a Bitch? Kohl’s-Tuesday Morning-Urban Outfitters Cut” just to work in a few more product placements; judging by the number of promotions within the show, it must surely be paid for before it ever airs and any money from Bravo’s advertising is gravy.
I thought if Sandro was out there wouldn’t be much drama left. But by the looks of the preview, there is a deep bench of drama queens.
Drama first. Fashion second.
I felt that last night’s show had nothing to do with design. It had to do with a grandmother-in-law’s death (did you know Jeremy’s gran died???), a screaming melt-down by a Freddy Mercury impersonator, and a 90 minute advocacy spot for gay marriage. The sledgehammers were too obvious. Maybe once the number of designers gets pared down to the handful with talent, the show will become watchable again.
Dom should have won. It took a lot of skill to slign all those stripes into chevrons. In his workroom walkaround, Tim did tell her to move a piece up a quarter of inch so it matched. That could have been one big zigzag disaster if she hadn’t listened.
I’ve grown to really like and respect Zack. The way he responded to Sandro, the way he totally destroyed Timothy with the remark about burning the parachute fabric, and he just seems to know what he’s talking about.
If any of those things put you off, you just may not be the target audience.
I agree that most of the results were pretty bad, and I’d put it down mostly to bow ties being a bad basis for a challenge. Though I do think that Miranda is going home next unless someone else has a really off day.
I didn’t watch the last couple of seasons of PR. Do they still do a reunion show at the end of the season? It would be interesting to get some follow-up on Sandro.
For a special guest celebrity judge, Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s a little bitch, isn’t he? His barbs were on par with Posen and Heidi and Gail’s.
Did Sandro leave voluntarily, or was he kicked off because he struck the camera and crew? Notice that Tim didn’t say anything about using his save. I think that was not even an option.
I got that he was eliminated because of behavior. I don’t think they’re even supposed to leave the school unescorted, so that was an automatic out.

Hmm. Surprised he didn’t mention it.
He was at least very reserved about using the “in-law” part, including when he was on the runway and said “I’m not making excuses but I’m not on my game because my grandmother died”- not one word about “technically the grandmother of my husband”. I agreed with the judges: beautiful workmanship, not the project asked for and too old; Katharine Hepburn would have rocked that, yet something keeps it from being retro modern.
Bradon had this one sewn up from the first stitch. Dom was his closest competition and she wasn’t that close; at least the horrible “covered in seaweed” design made the bow ties visible. I think Jeremy might have gotten a little more love if he’d chosen bowties that contrasted rather than blending into the jacket (and he’d have gotten more yet perhaps if his {partner’s} grandmother hadn’t died).
Seriously. He’s smart and poised and very knowledgeable – and he can get off a zinger as well. (“Slutty cat toy!”) It’s hard to see anyone take Michael’s seat, but I have totally jumped on the Zac bandwagon, he’s an excellent judge.
Agree – though I did like Dom’s quite a bit. [And, as I’ve said, as a fellow Philadelphian, I’m rooting for the hometown kid.] The bowtie bib was “meh,” but the mitering of the rest of the design was effin’ brilliant. I was thinking that she and Bradon both seem solidly on track for final three – and if either were to somehow blow a challenge, I think Tim would save him or her – but I wonder who the third will be?
You mean like showing some skin other than a peek-a-boo belly button? Sleeveless, backless, true midriff bolero (but not a green ill fitting one, if you know what I mean)… any of those would have modernized it.
