Project Runway Season 6 -- on Lifetime (starts August 20 @ 10PM)

Who's watching this?

I'm in!

ya!!

GO LIFETIME!!!!!

I want a Golden Girls themed challenge!

omfg

Who's watching the model show too?

I like the girl that looks like Isabella Blow

also, Qristal. Her name is... Qristal

I'm sorry, Qristyl

I will not be watching the model show.

also also, a girl named Althea and ting

You are not convincing me that this is a mistake on my part.

HOLY SHIT did you guys see that face LiLo made when Qristyl A) grouped together her and Miley Cyrus and B) implied that her wreck was something LiLo would wear? priceless.

i thought they were gonna keep space case attention bug for the comic relief. she would have been fun to hate.

Is Lifetime going to stream this on their website? I hope I hope?

i'm mid-season with pr australia s2. it is pretty good!

totes missed this :-(

what channel is lifetime even

The woman's channel, with woman's programming and woman's films.

Chris March got completely robbed. Everyone's stuff was butt ugly for the most part.

that one piece of Daniel's looked like a suicide bomber. that one dress of his they all liked was ok but it was ridic that he won. also how did you get the same amount of money for one all-star special as what they give out for an entire season of the regular

The all-star thing was insane. I thought Santino was unbelievably obnoxious, and I *loved* him when he was on the show. He was so shitty. Also, I thought Uli's stuff was underappreciated. Maybe not the best, but good. Better than Sweet Pea's, or at least more my style.

Of the new show, I really thought it was a massive sea of pretty good, and I even kind of liked the two last place dresses. I thought that dude made a pretty awesome last minute replacement dress considering his fabric limitations. I liked crazy lady's dress more than Qcryrwstl's dress, which I think was clearly the one that produced the biggest negative reaction.

Does there always have to be a crying guy? Watching that guy cry was so boring.

oh fuck yeah i'm watching this. skipped the all-star thing. just wasn't in the mood, i guess.

kinda bummed that ari got bounced right off the bat. i liked her runway look! it's the sort of thing someone like Pink would wear to the grammys if she was in an epic bad mood that night.

crying people's like a reality-show dictum, right?

if you thought that was bad, watch "more to love," seriously

the model show comes on a bit too late for me to watch it. plus i kind of don't care

yea it was pretty funny that johnny sac was "at his limit" in the 1st ep before the 1st commercial break

it gets harder!

anybody have a favorite yet? i can't decide, myself.

started this thread before realizing i had plans for the evening; will be watching the encore showing tonight -- unless anyone knows if there's anywhere to watch full episodes online?

I was surprised it wasn't up On Demand this morning. :(

According to this, Lifetime is going to offer full episodes of PR on its website, but they don't include PR in its list of full episodes available on-line. :(

when was this season actually filmed?

A looooong time ago. Look how much more pregnant Heidi was in the all-star thing!

love how chris almost slept his way to a win on the all star show.

Season ended at the beginning of the year so probably last year sometime?

That Ari chick looked a lot like Sam Ronson. I wonder how Lindsay felt about that?

kinda bummed that ari got bounced right off the bat. i liked her runway look! it's the sort of thing someone like Pink would wear to the grammys if she was in an epic bad mood that night.

i thought they were going to keep her around for 'omg wtf did u do!?' lols for at least a few episodes! i was kind of confused by her dress as a red carpet look (but thought it could stand out ok as a non-red carpet look) but the pink thing totally makes sense and now i feel it more.

Totally thought Nina Garcia with Ari was going to be like Barney Frank with that LaRouche supporter, "lady discussing fashion with you would be like arguing with a dining room table. . ."

The Iranian girl was super-cute, which combined with how young she is made me thing she was a total goner, but she had a cute design with that sweet hood/train.

All the closeups on the judges were driving me crazy.

yeah i did feel like they didn't show enough of the dresses. i feel like they showed the same shot of heidi reacting to 4 different people. lol editing.

also i felt bad that ari styled her model like carrot top bc i think the model actually looked really interesting.

When one of the judges (Kors?) was saying how the person wearing the dress had to like it, I was lolling at her model's facial expression of panic mixed with disgust.

Lohan was remarkably non-terrible as sleb guest judges go!

she just looked so scared that she was wearing an awful dress and probably going home :( poor girl.

lohan was remarkably boring. i thought at least she'd say something stupid/funny.

"yeah i did feel like they didn't show enough of the dresses."

That's always the way it is at the beginning though. It's tough when there's like 16 designers to stuff everyone/thing in.

very annoying that comcast doesn't have lifetime in HD out here

I already love Epperson, the Bad Brains dude with the dreads. He seems like the one that's going to blow everyone away when they get rid of the dead wood...you know, the 'bide my time, make my mark' kinda dude.

Yay, full episodes are up on mylifetime.com.

I want to like Qristyl because I feel compelled to cheer for the token plus size designer, plus she seems nice, but I got a real floral bedazzled Lane Bryant kind of feel from her dress/other designs/personal clothing decisions and that is just gross. I'm still glad she didn't go home, though, although I'm not sure that Ari Fish or Pantyhose Caftan Man (I really liked the dress he originally tried to make) deserved it any more than she did.

Gordana and Irinia were my favorites. The meth addict was really getting on my nerves, although I recognize that it might have been editing.

otm about the lane bryant look. I'm scared! Also I think epperson was awesome but what was with the fur shit at the bottom of his dress???

I didn't see the fur...wtf?

I fastforwarded through the meth addict/Tim Gunn counselling session. Yes I'm a heartless so-and-so

no that was the right call

was that fur? I thought it was really stiff tulle.
I enjoy the two South Carolinians and the Nicky Wire-lookin' dude.

I don't know there seems to be one in every bunch... Andre from season 2 comes to mind.

Oh Andrae. You know, I would happily settle for a re-run of Season 2 over this hot mess. Oy. The only reason I'm happy they're going to Bryant Park is that it'll finally be OVER.

Ricky from season 4 cried the most out of anybody. He cried on the runway every time, he cried in the confessionals every time, he probably cried when he used a sewing machine and at Mood.

Did anybody else thing Jordana's dressed looked a little... vaginal? I feel like Michael Kors would have picked up on it. Also I LOLed when Irina failed to use the Macy's accessorry wall thoughtfully.

hahaha it was a little georgia o'keefey!

Also I LOLed when Irina failed to use the Macy's accessorry wall thoughtfully.
every time someone's model walks out in ugly shoes, i think this. god, i freaking love tim gunn.

Oh damn, I forgot about Rickeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I stand corrected. Christopher is def minor league compared to Ricky. I think I must have blocked him out of my mind..

I mostly just remember him as a crying, ugly hat.

gee I can't wait for the Bryant Park finale tomorr-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Yeah, it really hit me how boring this season was when I watched the last ep and realized I couldn't put my finger on any single designer's aesthetic. I could still describe the general design style of Laura, Santino, Daniel, Uli, Bubble Skirt Crazy Woman, The Lady Who Spit on the Fabric, Michael Knight, Korto, My Beloved Chris March, that Tattoo Neck Asshole and many, many more but when I tried to figure out, say, Carol Hannah's style, all I could think was, "She just makes dresses." And she's probably my favorite of the top three! ("Favorite" being relative.)

Andre, Rami, that sardonic guy who always said, "Sweet merciful crap" and who I have actually seen in my local laundromat a couple of times who went out on the wedding challenge...

Boy do I hope next season is better.

Wait, how about:

"that sardonic guy who went out on the wedding challenge and always said, 'sweet merciful crap' and who I have actually seen in my local laundromat a couple of times..."

I don't want anybody to think that my local laundromat went out on the wedding challenge.

wtf shit did irina write on her shirt ~ i <3 nyc cuz madonna is back ?

also r.i.p carol hannah

there is a word to describe irina's collection and that word is "cocaine"

That made me more excited to see this episode than I thought I could possible be.

Clearly what this season of PR was missing was enthusiastic drug use on the part of the designers.

i dunno, irina's collection is all greys & blacks and she looked like she hadn't slept in a week and she kept on about how anxious she was, so

lol @ her using copyrighted images and getting the smackdown. whadda maroon

"I mostly just remember him as a crying, ugly hat."

perfect, yeah. dude's hats were ridiculous. i spent so much time that season just ripping on him, his crying, and his damn hats.

so who won? i almost don't care enough to watch.

the finale is next week

Carol Hannah will barf on one of her models.

puking! Ah, finally things get interesting.
Dream finale:
Irina goes into a coke-fuelled freakout, cuts up her whole collection with scissors and decides to do an all-pleather collection, which she completes in a mere 3 hours. Nina declares the whole collection a debacle and Irina leaps from the stage and tackles her to the floor.
Althea accidentally sews one of her dresses to the leg of her skinny jeans, realizes she doesn't need models and attaches her whole collection to herself, and walks down the runway. Michael Kors says she looks like a couture bag lady and commends her innovation.
Carol Hannah pukes all over her collection, but Christopher's tears of sympathy wash away most of the stains. At the judging Heidi asks her what her inspiration was, and she barfs. Judges applaud and declare her the winnner. Irina chases everyone off the set and then lunges for the cameraman.

omg yes

Unfortunately that would require the show to be interesting, and that clearly is never going to happen, sadly.

ugh irina ih8u

For a second I thought Irina was going to get the Kenley-has-no-friends-on-Tim's-visit treatment, how I wish it were so.

yeah I was hoping for that too.

why didn't anyone tell me Chris March has a hilariously bitchy blog about PR? 100x more entertaining than the actual show.

I wish I had been reading this all along. It would have made this season more bearable.

Who's the weird British lady with the There's Something About Mary hair?

project bunway would be a show in which rabbits compete in colorful designer gowns

Other than that Brit woman's Bizarro hair, this was boring. I only wanted Althea to win because she's 12 feet tall and, hello, science fiction. But blah. Black clothes, black nail polish New York collection of Grim de Grimm wins.

I really wanted to care. But no. Best of luck to them all. They'll need it.

knew irina was gonna win, don't have to like it.

only bright side last night was finding out that the next season stars airing in January.

yeah it was obvs irina was going to win. even though her collection was boring, she is clearly the most talented of the bunch and the pieces were actually well-made. as opposed to althea's - i liked some of her designs but none of her clothes fit. plus her collection was all over the place! headbands =! cohesiveness.

these guys wouldn't have made the top three on previous seasons. I mean I would've voted even that bitch Kenley over any of them.

also lol did you guys catch Ari Fish the Samantha Ronson clone? wtf was up with her face? highlight of the episode. that and tim gunn freaking out.

^^^^^ totally otm on both counts

carol hannah was robbed. maybe not choesive but definitely the most interesting.

I mean I would've voted even that bitch Kenley over any of them.

otm

what on earth was science fiction-y about Althea's line? besides the coat with the big hood of course.

that and tim gunn freaking out

that part of the finale made me think of this from upthread and I lol'd to myself

Tim Gunn's post-elimination genteel distress was the equivalent of an average person going Total Hulk. It was awesome.

couldn't stop looking at a) the headbands and b) heidi "pretty in pink" klum. wtf was that?

"quite honestly, we've seen a lot of the warrior woman..."

yeah, like two seasons ago:

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa295/slugbert/irina.jpg

srsly they were like 'hi you were least original but you win anyway!'

boring.

on the upside...IT'S FINALLY OVER. I think I literally breathed a sigh of relief as I hit 'delete' for the final time on my Tivo. What a fucking chore of a season.

Althea: "in the future women will wear belted jackets and bulky knitwear." Seriously. What. The. Frak.
Irina: I would have had more respect for her damn tshirts if she'd created the design from scratch. I kind of liked the helmets. Reminded me of a Roman Gladiator version of Pony Club.
Carol Hannah: it makes it sound like I actually gave a crap to say she was robbed. But I liked her collection a lot. She just needed a bit more showmanship in her accessorising or something to push it over the top.
I gag saying it, but Irina definitely had the edge as far as putting on a Fashion Show. Versus just sending models down wearing stuff you designed.

And can we talk some more about Britisher lady's crazy front bun?

b) heidi "pretty in pink" klum. wtf was that?

i had ttly forgot abt this. if anyone made that at any point in any season theyd be voted off immediately

Ari's not going to be mistaken for Sam Ronson anymore, I tell you what.

I thought the designers weren't allowed to come out on the runway at Bryant Park because of the Lifetime/Bravo brouhaha? Post-production sneakiness?

Why was Heidi dressed in a Hillary Clinton costume?

Irina's collection was way more scifi than Althea's.

Srsly tho, when was the last great season of the show? Third?

I guess I can see why Irina won? It looked the most like a fashion show, I guess? But Carol Hannah's was definitely more to my taste, plus she made it while throwing up all the time, so I think she deserved to win more.

The guest judge with the stupid hair annoyed me. You are no Isabella Blow, lady (or maybe she is - I have no idea who the weirdo fashion insider icons really are these days). It makes me wonder how the contestants can keep a straight face when the judges are so absurd.

How many ANTM alums were in the show? I think I saw Jasleen.

The movie dress! I would buy this in a heartbeat if I had the money, but I wouldn't even spend $20 on Irina's boring jersey dresses.

thought i'd share, in casde anyone wondered what chris is up to:
