I guess the other thread is in the Sandbox.

Not good - Oldham is no Tim Gunn, he's not even crusty old Tom. He's certainly not Padma or Heidi.

If all their challenges focus on remaking the same 15x20 room, this show's going to suck. Moreso if the whiny Marcel-character lasts.

SPOILER:

I feel so bad for Heather who lost...she gets stuck with someone who only does Ethnic Asian and picks out this giant bed, then where do you go from there? Maybe she was a good designer, maybe she's really mod, who knows? And she was sooo neurotic and beating herself up in the end for not speaking up.

I don't know, I think it'll be fun if the challenges are interesting...use these items, or quickfire style challenges.

But at the end her beating up really consisted of blaming her partner. "It's my fault, I let HER do XY."

― milo z (mlp), Thursday, 1 February 2007 06:05 (eighteen years ago)

but her partner's to blame! I mean, she's only to blame for not having a spine and saying "this is no good".

I think "this looks like a chinese restaraunt" is about as much of an insult I can think of. They could've gone further with it, there's this huge bed with poles and right in front of the bed where you may get in and out of it were 2 calf-height cubes with ceramic vases on them. That's gonna be a problem!

The butch guy had enough guts to bully the weakling into submission and got his room done (but that rounded white thing looked like a restaurant booth), the losing woman bears equal responsibility if she didn't assert herself.

I've never liked the passive-aggressive approach where someone/a contestant blames him or herself by blaming the partner.

Todd Oldham is so strange!

Who is a bigger plastic surgery disaster: Alexis Arquette or Todd Oldham?

I really loved the winning room and the second place room. They picked well this week.

The lady who picked the asian bed motif was so The Quiet Storm.

Todd is like a mix of Beck, Andy Warhol, and Johnny Depp's Willy Wonka.

I don't think the Todd has the ability to be critical at all.

Was the tranny an actual celebrity, or did they just have trouble finding anyone for the spot?

Was cast as the "Young Boy" in The Tubes' "She's a Beauty" video because he happened to be on the set that day.

I'm waiting on someone to do "America's Next Top Bob Villa" - all crusty dudes with beards and flannel.

This show was so terrible.

Man, I'm tired of all of these Project Runway placeholders. I CANNOT WAIT ANYMORE.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Thursday, 1 February 2007 20:44 (eighteen years ago)

So the consensus is that it's a bummer? I was hoping it would be good (I haven't seen any yet) as I need something to fill the Project Runway void.

I dunno, I liked it. I liked how boring most of the designs were and want to see what happens when people really start doing shit, and I want to see what makes Jonathan Adler say "If I had to live in this room, I'd kill myself."

I am looking forward to douchebag kid who had never painted before getting his hands dirty, which I'm sure was on the producers' minds when they cast him.

when is this going to be coming to the great white north

Todd is like a mix of Beck, Andy Warhol, and Johnny Depp's Willy Wonka.

So so so OTM. I don't know whether I want to punch him or bring him home and make him some soup.

He just doesn't seem like he's used to talking to people at all.

― blotter Budweiser Hackeysadk (nickalicious), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 14:51 (eighteen years ago)

most of the problem is that a lot of his dialogue is overdubbed, a trick that bravo is way way overdoing. damn, gay channel, are you telling us no one ever makes a mistake ever?

one year passes...

New season sans Todd Oldham, but they kept that Adler douche.

― milo z, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 16:25 (seventeen years ago)

ppl watch this? bravo's getting out of hand with these shows huh?

― Surmounter, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 21:02 (seventeen years ago)

I admit I really like the hairstyling one a lot. Except, of course, the 'trials' are insanely stupid. That blondey short-hair lady is wicked cuets.
