Project Runway fans! Who's getting kicked off?

[LittleClarkie]

I think it's Keith.

[jpgray]

1. I think it's Angela

She said she "doesn't sketch" in the pageant ep, and yet she turned in a portfolio, no? Whose work was that, or was it all photos?

[LittleClarkie]

5. I hope you're right

Keith has been a putz, but Katherine is too calculating.

[pagerbear]

2. I disagree

There's been a lot of conjecture about Keith, but I think that's a red herring.

[jpgray]

4. Oh wait, didn't he say he'd never sewn a dress before?

And didn't he show shots of dresses he had "made" at the open call?

[pagerbear]

6. IIRC, the only clothes he brought were men's clothes

He had sketches of women's clothes.

[jpgray]

9. It's true all he brought was menswear

But I can't remember if the portfolio was photos or sketches.

[LittleClarkie]

13. Sketches. But that news has been on the net. It would be a drag if that's

why, that the sketches weren't done by him, or that he traced. Anti-climatic for those of us who already saw that news.

I'm wondering if it's something someone did DURING the competition. One person at Television Without Pity speculated that a designer brought design books with him or her to copy from. That would fit with Keith's lack of experience with women's clothing, that he's been copying clothes in a book or something.

It's not Kayne or Robert. They were discussing the event as if they were not the ones going. And I hope it's not Micheal. He's reminding me of Daniel V. Solid early work that no one is paying attention to.

[LittleClarkie]

7. There's been gossip on the net that he showed a portfolio that wasn't his

That would be uncool. And that fits what you're talking about.

[pagerbear]

11. I read about that

His version is that the sketches in question were only a few sketches out of a large portfolio, and were part of a research assignment reporting on trends. I forget who the assignment was for.

[Fleshdancer]

3. DUer Atomic Kitten told me last week

I'll tell you if you really want to know! :D

[LittleClarkie]

8. Nah, not when I'm about to find out in 20 minutes

I'm glad I have off tonight for a change.

[Fleshdancer]

10. that's cool

I would only PM the answer if asked...no need to spoil the entire thread with it. ;)

[Suich]

21. Yes, please!

I don't know if I'm going to be able to watch it.

Thanks! :hi:

[Fleshdancer]

22. done deal. check your PM

:D

[stanwyck]

12. I'm voting for Keith

my favorites, right now - I'm pretty fickle -- are Robert and Allison. Also like Laura. I think Allison should have won the last challenge. And Robert was a very close tie with Keith the first week.
It's been very good so far. Lots of interesting, and talented, people.

[LittleClarkie]

14. Indeed. I even liked Malan toward the end. His exit was sad.

I wouldn't mind if it were Vincent, Angela or Keith. Vincent's nuts. Angela is a schemer. And Keith is an ass.

I'm hoping that Jeffrey sticks around. He's at the least interesting in a Santino sort of way. Angela's style could have been interesting too if she wasn't so one note.

The only thing I didn't like about Laura is two outfits so far have had fur trim. Hopefully she will get off that track. Oh, and Michael has been solid so far. Otherwise I like the ones you do.

[stanwyck]

33. Share your sentiments

I liked Malan. I think he was treated too harshly. And Jeffrey is growing on me -- some of his comments during the "pageant" show endeared me to him. And he's a better designer than the first show indicated.
Michael, from Atlanta (where I live), has been solid, as you say, and largely ignored.
I've liked Laura's designs, also. Though I'm also opposed to fur.
Angela redeemed herself last night - surprised me. She seemed like a lightweight.
I'm not sure how Vincent has been able to hang in there - I guess for the silly/crazy factor. His pageant gown was hideous, I thought. I would have bounced him instead of Malan.
Allison is very, very good. I hope she makes it to the end. I would have chosen her design last week over Uli.

[Flaxbee]

36. I missed the one where Malan got booted...

I saw the first half, I think, then had to leave. Can you tell me what happened/why he was kicked off? Thanks!

[LittleClarkie]

40. The judges said his dress was badly designed

and that the rouching was too much (is that how you spell it?). The models boobs looked uneven. They used a fabric that Tim said looked like the dress was carved out of wood. In his podcast, Tim said it was like the fabric sucked light out of the room. And to finish it off, the hem was cut too short.

At least with Vincent's dress, some judges thought it had a nice classic line, even if the spaceman shoulders were ridiculous.

But Malan's goodbye interview was so heartbreaking. He talked about how he had been so happy to be a part of something, how he hated to say goodbye to people because he's done it all his life, and how ashamed he was to have been booted. He was tearing up. I ended up liking him more than I thought I would.

[LittleClarkie]

15. Ooh, they're mixing up the models. I like it.

I'm glad they're not having to keep the one they had. Makes things interesting. And avoids the Zulema/Nick situation of last year.

[LittleClarkie]

16. Spoiler

Teamleader Angela. Oye Vey.

[LittleClarkie]

20. Spoiler

Oh my goodness, it's pattern making books!! It's Keith!!

Good.

[Fleshdancer]

17. can someone explain one thing to me?

Angela. Ok, she can be annoying but she got a lot of crap for not being a "team player" on the Miss America challenge but her melodramatic partner was a complete ass who wouldn't let her contribute much to the project. He was far more annoying and childish than she was but it seems like she got blamed for everything.

[LittleClarkie]

18. He was an ass. But she was a lump. And I guess there might be some footage

Showing her doing exactly what Vincent said she did, which was work on the dress that he had to take off and repair.

And Vincent had the advantage of the judges liking his dress somewhat. They thought the dress was classic, except for the shoulders.

[Fleshdancer]

19. the dress was boring IMO

the judges liked the back but it was just two straps coming in at an angle. :shrug:

[Fleshdancer]

23. Wow! it happened in front of the roomates??!!? OUCH

:wow:

So I wonder how this screws <kicked off person's> team in the challange.

[The Backlash Cometh]

24. SPOILER

It was Keith!

Boy, after Malan, and now Keith, what's left of the show's talent is going downhill.

[LittleClarkie]

25. Spoiler

I wonder if someone on Television Without Pity had insider knowledge as that person guessed it was pattern books and that it was Keith.

Well, Keith did act as if the rules were not for him. He even didn't seem to understand why he didn't win the dog challenge even though he only did half of it.

[The Backlash Cometh]

26. Spoiler

I don't think he had the personality for high-pressured competition. He is a perfectionist and I think he talked himself out of things that made him uncomfortable. He got lucky the first time in explaining why he only used a bedsheet, but that argument started to stale. It came across like he was avoiding things which he feared he was not good at.

[Orangepeel]

27. perfectionist?

I was thinking "asshole." I didn't like his rules-don't-apply-to-me attitude.
Good riddance to him.

unrelated comment: Laura and Michael ought to go into business together.

[The Backlash Cometh]

28. Yes, perfectionist.

I think that's what drives him. He's good and he knows it, but doing it week in and week out was too much for him, ergo, the bitchy attitude. It's also why he refused to go out on a limb and take risks. He didn't want to take a chance that something wasn't going to come out ... perfect.

[Orangepeel]

29. eh. to me, that sounds too much like what people say in job interviews

when they are asked for their biggest weakness. "I'm a perfectionist" (when really, the true answer would be "I'm a thinks-the-rules-don't-apply-to-me asshole").

If I were going to try to explain his behavior (rather than defaulting to the asshole explanation, which I favor), I'd postulate that he was insecure and compensating too hard for it, rather than "good and he knows it."

However, the boy does make a mean pleat (with a pattern book, that is).

[The Backlash Cometh]

32. He IS insecure and compensating hard for it.

I'm just giving him a little more credit for his talent. I try to be fair. My opponents usually give me that.

[judaspriestess]

30. Hey we have not watched it on the west coast

Now I know who gets kicked off before watching the show!! oh well no biggie. I had an idea anyway since I read it earlier.

I say Malan comes back!!

[Fleshdancer]

31. oooh, that would be cool! n/t

[Beaverhausen]

34. Was that anti-climatic or what?

All the ads made the tossing out of one of the contestants seem so dramatic...it wasn't at all.

and damn...I can't stand that Angela won! YUCK!!!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

35. Angela fucking sucks.

She should've been booted off about three times by now. I'm convinced they're keeping her for the drama.

[LynneSin]

37. That was a a damn good outfit she put together

But let's face it, if it wasn't for Michael & Laura she would have had those damn rosettes over everything with that damn poofy skirt

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

38. Exactly

I don't credit her with that design at all. Michael and Laura saved her.

[LynneSin]

39. I checked the Macy's site and they have it up

and all the credit goes to Angela even though she was saved by Laura and Michael. I mean, the clean designs are a Laura tradmark whereas Michael brings a hipness to the style. Angela's only contribution was those damn flowers she makes all the time
