Ten Questions For Project Runway

Friday, Aug 27, 2010 / 12:00 PM

1) Oh, Project Runway, why? Georgina Chapman AGAIN? Harvey, why don’t you just put yourself up there as a judge and be done with it? (Oh, and congratulations on the impending bundle of joy.)

2) Did Team Luxe really think they could sneak that neutral nightmare past Michael Kors, the king of camel sportswear?

3) Should we really trust Michael C a designer who wears Ed Hardy shirts everyday? I’m not sure they’re even genuine Ed Hardy.

4) We can forgive Tim for making up the phrase “youthened up,” right?

5) Well, this was really Casanova’s night, wasn’t it? The breakdown, the tight lime green deep V sweater, the tears, the swearing, “I should just design for old lady slut flamenco dancers,” and that divine and dainty lace blouse. Sometimes you just need to hit rock bottom first. I apologize for my comment about him last week.

6) Did anyone say the word “bitch” at least nine times while listening to Gretchen spew her BS, and then scream at the judges when they let her stay? People in the industry are going to be dying to work with her, right?

7) Why was the (I refuse to name the brand) hairstylist there with Tim at the beginning? Oh, right. To plug a product ON THE SHOW.

8) Victoria’s Secret apparently has the right idea, don’t they? Casanova’s model “angel” saved his PR career. And wasn’t it unfair that no one thanked the models on the runway for all the sewing they did?

9) Was the winning collection good? I mean, really? Epaulets and gold buttons? No. Balmain is the only one who can get away with it. And possibly The Blonds.

10) Is this season better than last season? I’m giving it a preliminary “yes” for entertainment and “no” for fashion quality.

Agreed on all points!

How could you ignore Tim’s rant at the end against Gretchen!?

Unprecedented, no?

Awesome?

Yesss!

I loved the winning teams design. Team Luxe really showed nothing this week, their design was horrible and did not fit well together!

Yes you’re right. It was amazing. I wanted to watch it forever

I don’t know why, but I’ve always been a Casanova fan. So I was so happy when he was the winner. He really deserved it!

tim gunn said everything that we were all thinking since she won her 2nd challenge. i mean, that man is so poised & professional, for him to get so bitchy (and well deserved) seriously says something about gretchen. she really is manipulative, controlling & bossy!

gretchen is her own worst pr enemy. she sadly doesn’t understand how ugly her comments are. what a great show last night.

yeah gretchen was a bitch! i don’t like her at all. and i’m so glad cassanova won last night!

Gretchen is totally Tracey Flick. Cassanova is totally … uh… er…. well he designed a bitchin’ ensemble. I’ll let it go at that.

Once you’ve lost Tim Gunn’s respect, WHY EVEN BOTHER? You have already lost the show! What else is the point?

I watched tims rant over and over because he said everything I wanted to!!!

You forgot to mention one thing on the Casanova Chronicles…those pointy toe shoes.

I LOVED this week’s show. AWESOME!!!!! I cant stand Gretchen she makes me sick. She is so full of herslf and is totally disrespectful to others. She is an idiot!

i would cry if tim was angry with me lol

I thought the best part on the show was when April sorta called Gretchen Hitler, but Tim won it by a long shot in the end. I loved seeing Tim let down his polite face and pull out the mean ugly truth.

Would so cry!

Casanova and Peach’s outfits were definitely worlds better than what they have done up until now, but I thought Michael D. should have won.
Gretchen really is awful. Too bad, she’s got great hair.

I think this might be the first memorable bunch since season 5. Leanne Marshall was the last I really loved who won, and I kinda had to google the winners for the last two seasons, because I was so uninterested in the final three(s).

I gave Tim a standing ovation when he called Gretchen out. He said everything I was saying out loud to my husband and the TV!! Love Tim always!

I just hate how Gretch kept on contradicting herself. If you want to be the bitch, be it! Don’t try to be all nice and then slowly show your bitchiness.

They had to keep Gretchen for entertainment value – she’s this year’s villain (why are they so often women?). And I agree that the entertainment/personality factor this year is more compelling than last year, but what a disappointment in the design, with the possible exception of Mondo. I just imagine what some of last year’s designers would have done with the hat challenge…
