project runway season 4

[katie]

Now they're just effing with us for drama.

Everyone knows Sweet P and Ricky should have gone before Kit and Kevin! Too bad.

- Mere "second week in a row my recording cuts off the second before Heidi auf's someone" 1975

so truuuuue. kit and kevin in no way deserved to go at this point. ricky has needed to go for so long. i absolutely hate when a chaff designer gets through to the end. if that happens with ricky, i am going to get violent. i was so upset that kevin got voted out, i thought he had a lot more time left. he totes wasn't expecting it either. unfortunate. diana, i know you're pissed about kit. lame couple weeks.

i like christian now. he puts out some really nice stuff and he has grown on me personality wise. he and chris' outfits this week were AWESOME. so glad they won. jason calls chris the guy whose neck is as big as his head. last week, i thought sweet p's outfit should have won. victorya's was boring as hell and looked so cheap with those plastic-y glue on jewels. blug!

and mere, my project runway has been cutting off in the same place. lamest ever. thank god bravo replays like a mofo and we just happened to be able to catch it in real-time on the actual station.

[Phyllis]

diana, i know you're pissed about kit.

yeah i'd say that's putting it lightly.

kay so i missed it wednesday night and JUST got through watching the repeat

FUCK PROJECT RUNWAY
FUCK HEIDI
FUCK NINA
FUCK MICHAEL
AND FUCK WHATEVER PRODUCER THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO KICK OFF KIT.

kit's talent had nothing to do with that decision and everything to do with the fact that she doesn't cause drama and she's not "good television." RICKY NEEDS TO BE GONE. i'm so sick of looking at his clothes and his stupid ass teared stained face constantly.

OMG PR IS SUCH A BIG LIFECHANGING THING FOR ME

yeah except i can do better than you with my cheapass sewing machine and one hand tied behind my back you fucking wussy. i fucking hate you and you're in the bottom EVERY WEEK and EVERY WEEK heidi still says "ricky you're in dur i'm german and shit"

i hate rami. he has a stupid bald head and puts out the same shit every time and the judges just eat his stupid ass up.

yeah i don't think i can watch that show anymore 'cause it's full of reality sideshow freaks and no talented designers and i honestly don't care anymore.

they'll eliminate jillian and christian next 'cause they're the only ones left with talent and the top three will probably be sweet pea, ricky and victorya.

i was SO sure that kit would get to the top three, and most likely win. it's just dumb that someone so talented got kicked off 'cause of stupid reality tv. and i honestly didn't think what she designed was that bad. i hope she is very successful in the fashion industry regardless.

EDIT: it just occured to me that ricky could develop a medical condition and he would have to leave and to keep the competition of the show up to par they would bring back kit.
i'm still hopeful.

Thoughts:

* Could Michael Kors have had more make-up on?

* I liked Rami's zipper seam -- but don't they remember that Jeffrey did that in his final look last year? (Remember his green and white striped dress with all of the zipper seams?)

* When Tim Gunn talked Sweet P into changing her dress, I could just hear Katie screaming at her TV.

* They're really just effing with us by keeping Chris, Ricky and Sweet P.

* Everyone sure was being catty this episode.

* Still predict the final three will be Christian, Jillian and Rami.

Responses:

* Could Michael Kors have had more make-up on?

no. he's such a fussy old lady.

* I liked Rami's zipper seam -- but don't they remember that Jeffrey did that in his final look last year? (Remember his green and white striped dress with all of the zipper seams?)

YES. i loved that dress and the fact that jeffrey used stripes so much throughout his collection. i am convinced rami doesn't have ingenuity, he just uses things he or others have done before and because he has flawless execution, it's seen as good.

* When Tim Gunn talked Sweet P into changing her dress, I could just hear Katie screaming at her TV.

i loved her final dress, but i would've liked to see someone do something a little hippied out. patchworking could've been fun. i feel like too many designers this season just have expensive-looking clothes, but nothing too different or funky. there are exceptions to this gross generalization.

also, sort of in relation to this: remember in the season 3 finals, laura had that gorgeous tough but feminine army-green floor length jacket and tim gunn was all, "hell no"? i was in LOVE with that jacket (even though i hated laura). i guess that means they'd insult my taste level.

* They're really just effing with us by keeping Chris, Ricky and Sweet P.

i HATE ricky, but his dress was gorg. so glad victorya left. i have this sneaking suspicion that sweet p is going to wendy pepper darkhorse it to the end. it could make me die.

* Everyone sure was being catty this episode.

ah, the glorious point in the season where the designers can start to taste it. a spoonful of bryant park makes the designers go bitchy.

* Still predict the final three will be Christian, Jillian and Rami.

i'm going to go out on a limb. christian, sweet p, and jillian.

[mere1975]

From 8 weeks ago, thankyou...

I say Jillian, Christian and Rami will go to Bryant Park.

- Mere "Tim Gunn has a fashion chubby for Jillian" 1975

I still agree with myself of both counts.

Although I actually liked Chris' use of human hair!

The only real surprise in this episode. . . Jillian celebrates Christmas?!

- Mere "would have bet my menorah she celebrated Hannukah!" 1975

[katie]

very nice, mere. i think it kinda sucks that they were just fucking with chris. i think they knew they were going to send rami the whole time because his three pieces just weren't as strong as chris' in my opinion. that skirt with the pins and stuff was amazing and rami once again just created some nice stuff without innovation.

and did anyone else think that rami's and jillian's collections were sort of similar looking? similar palette, similar style, similar influence? just saying.

ka"this could go a number of ways but i hope christian wins"tie

[monet2u]

I of course have been sucked into the PR VOID...ugh

Chris was ROBBED!!! Rami's stuff was UGLY! Can I just say here and now..that fashion is costume. I mean come on otherwise we'd all go around nekkid. We each adorn our body's with our "style" which = costume of sorts. So those lame as judges can kiss my costumed ass!

Honestly, I don't even care who wins anymore, but I'd put my money on the girl if I had to, I like her stuff the best. Because honestly, who the hell is gonna wear feather pants? speaking of COSTUMES!


I liked the use of hair too Mere!

[katie]

i agree. i didn't like rami's stuff, mostly. i loved his second dress but that blue jacket was a nightmare. loved the color, but it was just all wrong. it looked like jillian's denim challenge one gone even more wrong.

final collections always weird. the only one i've actually loved was jay's from season one. we'll see. i don't like christian's color palette, from what i've seen. why is no one using color? wtf.

[jen]

i never thought i'd say this, but i think i'm wanting jillian to win, but that's just because she's the least offensive of the 3.

yes, christian produces good stuff, but at the same time it screams "look at what i learned in fashion school and european fashion magazines". great craftsmanship, but pretty low on the creative scale.

and as for rami....sheesh. now we see what happens (hideous blue jacket) when he doesn't drape. and then, though i usually agree with nina, i have to say her take on his second dress was off. the way he draped that damn thing with its patterns made the model look all wonky and bubble butted...

[mere1975]

I think they made Chris continue just to teach Rami a lesson -- they MADE him change his style, and they were punishing him for doing a draped dress in the final museum-inspired challenge.

Or, more likely, just to make it more interesting.

With no one fighting or splitting a head open during drunken nights out, there is very little drama this season.

agreed, I didn't lik any of his items and that dress looked cheap and too short and she didn't look nice in it at all. the more I think about it...the more it just pisses me off. I would have worn any of the items Chris did and none by rami!...that show sucks.

[Phyllis]

i am rooting for christian. i love him to death. there, i said it. I LOVE CHRISTIAN.

and did NO ONE pay attention to the reunion show? chris and rami are sooooooo in love! they are so cute together.

anyway, i didn't really like chris's stuff or rami's but i knew rami was going to fashion week regardless because a) the judges love him and b) they were just keeping chris around for the fact that he is good television.

anyway i think all the designers are really good this season. but i hope christian wins.

[jen]

ok, i'm sorry christian (and rami) for doubting you guys before.

god, jillian sucked ass. and i really was tied between christian and rami's collections. i'm pretty happy with the results.

but now i feel as though i shouldn't say anything else at the moment, because i'm wondering why no one else has commented yet....

[monet2u]

I forgot there was a thread. I watched last night.

Yay for Christian...but I still think I liked Jillian's collection the best. (I would have loved what's his name that got booted last week better but he got booted).

Rami's was ok, I liked how he reworked the blue coat...cuz that thing was UGLY before.

Posh Spice of course would wear Christian's stuff, but who else would? The fabulous Micahel Korrs said the same thing.

But hey, I'm just your average schlubba that can't fit any of those outfits...so what do I know.

[mere1975]

I agree with Jen -- I loved both Rami and Christian's.

The only thing about Christian's is that it felt very repetitive at first -- with 3-4 black jacket with puffy sleeves and tight black pant outfits, one right after another. Once he incorporated the cream and brown, I think it got better. I liked his puffy scarf/neck ruffle thingies a lot. However -- I thought that last chicken feather dress was fugly!

I was surprised that after they showed all three collections (but before the judges did their deliberation) I couldn't really remember anything from Jillian. She was great throughout the show, though.

My favorite outfit was probably Rami's brown/olive dressy dress, with the scarf-y material woven through the bodice.
