Project Runway Season 3

I want Michael Knight to win because his name is Michael Knight.

Lol. I'm sure he'll make a guest appearance or something.

Keith is so hawt.

*laughs hysterically*1

1) (I worked on the show)

Malan is awful.

You mean Bradley Baumkirchner? I really, really like him, to be honest. His interview (on the Bravo website) and Bio Video are both hilarious. He strikes me as very "I'm in a experimental noise band based in Williamsburg" though. Maybe it's the beard.

and this malan fellow. my jaw is hitting the floor.

who has this in a bio?

"Inspired by a friend, one of America's foremost couturiers,"

clearly, he is a renaissance man:

"Malan has also been a part of the entertainment industry since an early age, learning his craft from costume mistresses along the way. He has appeared in theatre, film, and television, worked as a professional model and has danced with Paula Abdul and others."

i hope he's the one they ask to leave.

Vincent should have gone! That hat! I totally hate Stacey for some reason so I was okay with her going, but still. I loved how pissed-off Vincent's model looked while he was fitting her. She had a total, "I guess I'll be leaving next week" look on her face.

Malan Breton is the single best thing to happen to me in months. He's the bastard child of Alan Cumming and Bud Cort.

The architect lady is the baddest, awesomest lady ever. She's Manhattan in a good way.

Oh man why can't I just watch the whole season now.

How is it that Michael from the ATL made an entire and completely credible dress out of coffee filters and no one was even like 'nice job' to him? thatsracist.jpg

I, too, was stunned by this.
And, I like crazy Vincent. He's so visibly freaking out all the time. He reminds me of many of my best friends. he's like Dave from Top Chef!

Kayne is a treat! Angela is interesting too. I really liked Keith's dress and Ule's was my favorite this week. Looks like from the previews Keith will prob be the love-to-hate person who definitely makes it to fashion week but behaves rather badly on the way.. he seems really talented

I liked her too, but I wonder if she can break out of her style as the season progresses. She's one-note (and it's a good one) but I can't see her as a finalist.

I agree that she's way self-satisfied, but I think she's earned it. She has this Gloria Swanson-ness about her to which all drag queens strive, but none can achieve. And she's classy, has great taste, and is smart as hell. Fuck, I'd be egotistical. The best was when she said "Ohio! I've always wondered what goes on there." WHO SAYS THAT TO SOMEBODY?

Anyway, I find myself drawn to egotists. I would rather have a beer with the scruffy beard guy or with any of the younger girls, but they're not as good television.

Wow, that was coffee filters? I had no idea.

I looooove that they roomed him with Malan. LOVE IT.

Lots of people have said similar things to me when I tell them I'm originally from Montana. I hate it when New Yawkers act like any place devoid of a mob must be devoid of excitement. That said, I either LOVE her or HATE her. Can't decide. She's definitely going to be great for lots of entertainingly snobbish comments.

I thought I would like rock-n-roll hooded designer, but I'm pinning my hopes of hate on him (I always find reality shows a lot more fun if I can seethe over someone).

I looooove that they roomed him with Malan. LOVE IT.

ha, did you catch how Malan looked totally terrified during his initial conversation with Michael?

I just read Tim's Take, and he compliments Michael's coffee filter dress. He was surprised it didn't make the top three.

Did architect lady have a big portrait of herself in her apartment?

The burning question for me is who does Tim Gunn ask to leave? I bet it's penis-head.

btw, robert is kinda sexy.

Best quote: "Where are you from?" "Oh...everywhere." (THEY MUST NOT LEARN THE SECRET OF MY FAKE ACCENT!)

IMO, that's why he deserved to win - he didn't trip over himself trying to show how clever he could be using unlikely materials, he made the best possible dress given the circumstances. Which means, grab everything in the hotel room that's most like fabric and use it like fabric to make a quality garment. It was cute, and the buttons were great.

my money's on him consistently knocking out tim gunn and mike kors finding some way to keep him from winning any challenges

5 kids manhattan mom's house looked like a fuckin magazine shoot that had a mob of kids accidentally broke into.

and yes there was at least one GIANT portrait of her and possibly more??

i was actually kind of suprised at laura's collection. very nice.

http://www.bravotv.com/blog/fashionforwardqa/2006/10/jeffrey_sebelia.php?page=1

i disliked him greatly at first, but his talent and sometimes spot-on observations won me over. i'm really happy he won.

1. In the "Jeffrey's Favorites" section, there is only one item: Autobiography of a Yogi.

2. Somebody paid $400 for the outfit that Kayne designed in the jetsetter challenge.

YOU TOO TOP CHEF

I meant both. I really wanted Michael to win, and it was sad to see him crash and burn under the weight of his own "nasty" collection. I mean, it's television, and obviously I am willingly being manipulated to love/hate certain characters. His sweetness throughout, and his talent (before the finale) made me really root for him.
I agree with the general consensus here: Uli, Jeffrey, Laura, Michael.In terms of the finale.
Anywhoo, television is meant to manipulate you, and provoke feelings about the characters you are viewing/engaging with. What I think is interesting, and hilarious, is what it provokes that the producers didn't expect. like, most of America wants Tim Gunn to be their father/boyfriend/best friend/confidante.
Who woulda thunk that the viewing public would fall deeply, madly in love with him?!
Mitigate, make it work, carry on!

hahahahahahaha, awesome

In one of his season 2 podcasts Tim Gunn said that they were trying to avoid having more Santino-like characters because it would be the death of the show.

EQUALS

????????

Alley, I don't get what you mean. You're surprised that the contestants whom the viewers liked best are also the ones viewers want to see win, and conversely and consequently that viewers want their least-liked contestants to not win? Then again I have displayed a lack of perspicacity vis-a-vis reading the more idiosyncratic arguments on this thread, so ignore at your discretion.

I could see where Laura was coming from -- I didn't expect Jeffrey to come even close to the collection he showed, even from a design perspective.

What bugs me about the final announcement is that it has absolutely no fanfare attached to it, like it's barely any different from any regular judging. The music is the same, the set (dressing) is the same, the only thing that distinguishes it from any normal judging is the winner saying, "Are you kidding?"

Really? I figured Noize would win a few challenges ago. Michael was always a little hit and miss and Laura and Uli kept doing the same thing over and over.

Actually, now I think about it I dont think Laura questioned the designs were Jeffrey's, just the construction.

I still find Jeffrey pretty.. grating, personality wise, but I agree with the judges & like I said before he did the best collection, then Uli.

just to be all I KNEW IT (I mean, early on before I went on a rant abt hating his taste and sense of color!)

I think the German girl is probably pretty good, and the guy from LA with the hood on all the time..

It's a reality show.

No, I'm saying that being in love with Michael really doesn't excuse your only contributions to the thread being calling Jeffrey a dickhead or wishing him harm. It seems straightforward, dude!! I'm not really a huge fan of Tom's liberal use of the word "cunt" to describe Angela and Laura, either. That is what I meant.

At what point did Jeffrey stop wearing that hoodie, btw? It was like melted into his skin or something from how much he sported that thing in the beginning but then it disappeared. I miss the hoodie.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

1. Malan Breton
2. Alison Kelly
3. Kieth Michael
4. Vincent Liberetti
5. Kayne Gillaspie

Wow I was soo off. Oh well.. lol. I still think Alison was robbed, Keith would've made it to fashion week if he hadn't been DQ'd and Malan was kicked off too early.

"What if we all lived in a world of glamour and happiness and health? We could all be glamorous, travel, sing songs, make clothes from old curtains, fall in love and then live happily ever after! What an ideal, is there a place like that? Turner Movie Classics!"

I KNOW THINGS

you son of a bitch

stop taunting

I saw this last night, and it was just another makeover show.

I think it's great. It's much more likable than the unbearably catty "What Not To Wear." Tim and Veronica (at least pretend to) care about the women they help, whereas Stacy and Clinton treat everyone like walking joke fodder. Even my boyfriend (who doesn't watch PR and had no idea who TG was) was impressed by how sweet the show was. It actually gets too sappy when they bring out the "life stylist" though. That dude needs to go.

All that said, I don't think it's long for this world.

another makeover show + tim gunn = can't be bad

It really weirded me out when they gave the husband the new wedding ring. Like "Hi, you are too poor to get your wife a real wedding ring, so we did it for you, and btw you don't get to choose it, and also can we please show it on tv THANK YOU"

Haha, that was my boyfriend's reaction exactly. They were a super-adorable couple though. If anyone should receive expensive (albeit sorta humiliating) jewelry on television, it's them.

I anxiously await you, Nov. 14.

Anyone know who the new designers will be yet?

http://www.bravotv.com/blog/fashionforwardnews

Some of the season 4 people are shown there. Also, apparently the official announcement of the date of the premiere will be tonight on top chef. Nov. 14 was not official.
