Previously on Project Runway: There was a horror show on Governor’s Island,
AAAAAGH!
…Miss Trinidad chained up her puppies,
Crate em!
…and Jersey Chore kept smelling his finger, which really grossed me out.
Smells like a living!
So Miss Trinidad, Icktor, Jersey Chore and Himberly are all in the top four! I am excited, mostly because all four have nicknames and I am not about to start learning names now. Fat Bitch Heidi comes out on the runway looking like she just ate the end of an opera.
All four of these fools will be designing a line, but only three of them will show at fashion week. Or nine, but whatever. Tim joins Fat Bitch on the runway limping and smelling like ho. Tim Gunn has used his stardom for good. Ass. Really good ass.
EW no touchee you da smelly like undt busboy.
Jersey Chore and Icktor are in their apartment packing slowly and reminiscing about the times they just knew they’d make it to the end. Miss Trinidad is over in her apartment with her humble ass, saying she never unpacked all the way because she didn’t think she’d stay for long. What the hell is there to unpack? She could fit her entire wardrobe in a fanny pack. Chain some kerchiefs together and call it a day. Himberly is super emotional. In case you’re curious what that looks like:
I have loved every single season of Project Runway, including this one, but that’s not to say that they’re all good seasons. Each has suffered its own issues. Squircangles, Pleatherness, angry Iranaians terrorizing our TVs. This year’s problems can pretty much be summed up in a picture.
Tacky, embarrassing, loud, greasy, overdone, been done, crosseyed, sad. Oh and SLEEVES.
The designers get their stuff packed and start heading back to the holes they crawled out of. Himberly is super excited to be going home. In case you were wondering what Himberly looking super excited looks like:
Home visits! YAAAAY!!! Tim goes to visit Himberly in Maryland first, and he’s psyched because he has a feeling he’s gonna get a lot of peen here.
Himberly greets him in Weezy voice, and I love Weezy so I hope she wins. Her collection is inspired by Brooklyn. Not the trendy hipster borough it is now, but the nasty ghetto ass hellhole it used to be. The models will all smell like pee and shoot at the audience. I’m in! I’m wondering how a whole line of sweatpants, down jackets and plastic member’s only jackets are gonna look, but Tim doesn’t seem to care. He is all compliments. It gets boring real fast, so he launches into a story about stopping his rented car on the side of the road to prove to a random farmhand that he can fit his fist into his mouth.
Time to meet the family! They’re a fun, energetic sweet group, which makes me happy. The way Him’s been talking the past few months, I was expecting a house full of taxidermy.
The baby is cute and hilarious, and Tim is told that she walks around the house saying “Tim Gunn, work!” This is a really good family, cuz if I had walked around saying that as a baby it would be reason for my Meemaw to lock me up at the Jesus Chapel reconditioning camp.
Him talks about how her mom is dead and stuff, but her sister and her best friends are her family now. When she was younger, Him was really fashionable and was voted Homecoming King hands down. She says that winning will be major cuz she’ll be the first black winner. Wow. That’s true! And really sad, no? Well, if any of them win it will be groundbreaking. Icktor: First corpse that dresses like PeeWee Herman on the day he got arrested jerking it in a porn theater. Jersey Chore: First crosseyed guy in eyeshadow and Ricky Ricardo hair. Miss Trinidad: First sex tape/Trinidadian who can’t sew. So any way you slice it, the ending will be a PROJECT RUNWAY FIRST!
Tim shows up in Trinidad in his full suit. LOL. God I love him. Watching him try to walk down a ramp is the funniest thing on TV since Roseanne. Miss Trinidad is taking him out on a boat ride. He’s nervous at first, but then he sees the rent-a-captain and his boner answers for him.
Let’s head north!
Miss Trinidad is vewy inspiuhd by da see. Because you can pretty much make any ole shapeless thing and blame the waves. Also, because it changes her energy and the way she perceives things. Tim looks confused, so she says it’s like what butt sex with a stranger does. He’s all “aaaaaaaaaah! I see!” They go to meet her two brothers. They are really close, and one bro says he’s thrilled that now people are recognizing Trini’s talent instead of just her pretty face or her deep throating skills. AW! The death of their fourth sibling brought them close as can be…wait. WHAT? She has a dead brother and she didn’t use that to garner sympathy? DAMN. I pride myself for being able to find something hatable in pretty much anyone, and she foils me again. BITCH. My feelings of love are cemented when she shows off the tattoo on her hand of her dead brother’s name. I hope the editors point out Jersey’s stupid pointless tattoo today of his own name with his cell number under it. Tacky ass.
Trini has a bunch of pictures on her mood board of the ocean and some rocks. She’s also got lots of bright blue fabric and some zippers hanging around. Boring! If you’re gonna be inspired by the sea, have some pics of dolphins getting caught in those plastic rings that hold cokes together or something. Tim asks her where the work is, and she starts stuttering. LOL! She’s done nothing! Not even sketched anything. OH LAWD. The beach inspires people to do NOTHING. That’s why I avoid it at all costs. Also because of the surfers who call me butter butt and dough boy and stretchy when I take off my shirt.
Tim is still affected by the dead brother story and the high from riding the rent-a-captain, so he doesn’t freak out. He chooses his six syllable words wisely, because it looks like all he wants to say is
You’re an embarrassment ya lazy twat!
Tim doesn’t know what the f to say, so he nags her a little bit and tells her to just start making shapes out of muslin til she comes up with something. He also reminds her that she can’t have any help with sewing. Just making shapes can help. Ask Liza! She came up with an entire HSN collection from her hospital bed!
Dearest Rich at fourfour, I have loved you long time for many reasons, but I will NEVER FORGET you for this one. Love, Flipit
I am not falling for this “I so behind I no no whatto doooo! Me no know sewysuckyfuckyfivedollameloveyoulongtime” act. We’ve heard it a zillion times, and you know this ho is winning this season. She could put the whole thing together with chewed up Orbit and dried boogars and she’d still win. FF.
Back to NY to check out Icktor’s clip on tie factory! He says that he has been working at mediocrity every single day, and I have a feeling he’s gonna achieve it. I believe in you, buddy! He tells Tim that he was inspired by Guadalajara Jalisco.
No thank you. Spices make my cornhole tingly.
Icktor went to Mexico for the anniversary of his brother’s death. JESUS. Is there anyone in this cast with a living family? I don’t mean to be crude, but dang. What is it about dead family members that inspire people to make ugly clothes? Kors probably has a laundry list of dead people to inspire the sale rack at Ross that he’s always showing up on.
Ick cries as he talks about making dead bro proud, and it’s sad. This is for him! I’m trying to figure out how this guy would feel about old lady jackets with fake pearls sewn all over them as his tribute.
Maybe just make some jeans.
What he shows Tim is pretty fantastic. It’s not only well made, but kinda interesting and original too. His big showstopper gown is just a plain cream colored blahnothingblah though, so Tim tells him to burn it so hard that the fire tans his skin a little so he doesn’t look like he’s been dead for a week. “Knock their effing socks off!” LOL TIM!! I love that Tim Gunn makes us all smarter, and this show makes him dumber. It all balances out.
We get to meet Ick’s boyfriend, who seems like a total sweetheart. He let’s his man walk around in shorts and bowties, so he’d have to be. Or an enabler. Depends on how you look at it. Tim asks how they met, and bf laughs “the old fashioned way!” Tim gushes “a rest stop? How effing romantic!”
Did you commit before or after you saw his face through the glory hole?
Jersey Chore lives in Queens. Shocker! Both because of the name and his affinity for leopard print. Unfortunately, Jersey Chore is still poor cuz Miss Trinidad stole his twenty grand, so Tim has to meet him during his barback shift.
We get to meet his sister, who is also kinda manly looking with eyeshadow and a terrible spray tan.
She doesn’t have crisco in her hair and her smile seems sweet and genuine, so I vote for her to win.
What was Jersey into as a kid? Everything! Sports, theater, makeup, strangling puppies, the ush. He was actually kinda cute in high school, and I am as mortified to say it as you are to hear it. Men, let this be a lesson to you: Crisco, spray tan, eyeshadow BAD.
Before the glue gun, the color orange, and that softball that hit him in the middle of his forehead and crossed his eyes.
Time can be almost as much of a c word as Jersey. Chore is nervous about his collection. He doesn’t have much to show, but Tim will get to see the direction he’s going in right after he gets about seventy pounds of bottles to the recycle bin and marries his ketchups.
Tim goes to his house and sees all the hideous textiles he’s chosen. He is scared out of his mind, and rightfully so. He calls the collection gimmicky, cheap, and…well….
Abacinating!
Just when I think Tim is gonna stop sobbing and run out of the room, he comes up for air and calls this “one of the homeliest textiles I’ve ever seen in my life.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
He’s not done. “Major homely. This is one. Sad looking. Dress. SAD. It makes me wanna weep.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Tim adds a “Farmer in the Dell” and a “trying too hard” in for good measure.
I can now honestly say I’m glad you stayed.
Tim earned his paycheck for the entire season in two minutes. He needs to moderate the Presidential Debates. Chore is only left with two pieces after Tim leaves, and I am in love really hard right now.
NYC! Fashion Week! Library vest!
First an ARMY dude set fire to a box of Bill O’Reilly books and now this. It’s a great week for the Burning Books crowd.
Chore is the first to arrive at the gorgeous penthouse at the La Quinta, and he sobs when he sees the terrace, wishing his mom was here to spring for one of the pimp bathrobes. The girls arrive, squealing, and Icktor arrives in jeans rolled up into shorts. Only someone who has a committed boyfriend would pull poo like this.
The gay man’s version of gaining fifty pounds and getting soccer mom hair.
Tim arrives to pop some champers and welcome them to the La Quinta, but since there’s not a whole lot of personality left, we go straight to the workroom to unpack and listen to the designers trash talk each other. Trini says she likes pink and blue, just not the pink and blue Himberly’s using. Himberly, thinks Icktor is a showoff, and Icktor thinks Miss Trinidad is a used up hooker face.
Tim comes in to see what they will be showing the judges. He starts with Icktor’s wow jacket. The other designers all drop their jaws. It looks like a junior high sex ed pic of genital warts to me.
This jacket sat on the wrong toilet seat.
I could go on showing you all these clothes, but then what would we have to do on the runway? Long story short, Tim loves everything Icktor. Jersey actually listened to Tim’s advice and came back with a looooot of black. He says that this is all about staying true to yourself. By changing everything about yourself to please Tim. ?? He did leave some of his own stuff there, and he’s trying to mix it in with the black. Tim thinks it looks schitzo, and Chore just nods and crosses his eyes. Tim doesn’t want to leave him sad, but he does. I think that’s the only way to leave him.
Himberly is super excited, and Tim tells her to calm the fuck down. Miss Trinidad has work to show, and it’s her usual fare. Every dress we see looks the same, but in different fabrics. Tim tells her so. Too typical of her work and not surprising enough. She starts crying. Cheer up! You at least get free digital cable through your neck!
Jersey Chore snacks on Trini’s pain. He has never seen her so weak before and it’s better than a value meal. Trini says that she wasn’t nervous until she got home and realized how much this all meant to her family. AW! Disappointing your family is one of the joys of adulthood, sugar! Spread those wings and crash to the ground. Making your mom cry and regret giving up her dreams of becoming an aerobics star to have you can be almost as fulfilling as actually going to college and making an effort. She goes with Plan B: being as adorable as possible.
Peoples likey da pug dogs, no?
She’s not the only scared one. Himberly is freaking out and ditching one of her gowns. The boys are all confidence, though. Jersey figures if the world isn’t ready for dog leash attachments sewn on their sleeves, then that’s their loss. Submissive bottoms FTW! He wears his mom’s pin for luck. I can’t tell what it is from this far back. Is that a pentagram? Cuz that would explain a lot.
Icktor is confident on game day because he’s the only one finished. Over confidence never wins! Oh wait. I forgot about Wretchen. And Irana. And…. The list is too long. Miss Trinidad is so hard that she has to wear earrings that will mop up her shoulder sweat.
Scrambling for the show, Miss Trini decides to use whatever fits. Something with tits hanging out and a bathing suit. Yes. I just typed bathing suit. Sure, we all suspect this ho is gonna win, but it’s actually getting exciting now to see just how she’s gonna do it. Chore is worried about the shoes he’s pairing with his hot pink jumpsuit. LOL. Start with rethinking the jumpsuit, ya twit. He asks for advice and Trini says that the shoes are very him. He takes that as a yes, but I don’t know that that was a compliment. Trini is a tricky one.
Hair and makeup! Smoke break! When I come back, this is happening:
It’s like the Six Feet Under opening.
Almost time! Jersey Chore is staring his greatest fear right in the eye.
Everyone cries and tells us how much this means to them. FF. Feelings are horrible things.
Runway time! Fat Bitch Heidi comes out chewing on beef jerky and burping up chile. Let’s say hi to the judges! Hi Kors!
Hi Nina!
Icktor is up first with a zombie cheerleader costume from the 99 cent store. It’s different than the stuff he usually does, but that’s not working out for him on this one.
He shows off his jacket construction skills with the next one. Unfortunately, his model went off the pill and now can’t stop bleeding.
She’s wearing a glass wind chime, so anyone who dares hug her will end up in the same bloody boat she’s in. Misery loves company!
Kors has a fauxhawk! LOL!! Now you look like a totally young little orange that was just left in the sun too long. WHY?!? WHYYYYY?!?!?!
Next up is his genital warts jacket. It’s pretty, and it’s paired with a fairly simple baby doll dress. He’s added a giant train to it, I guess to make it different. Any idiot who wears this in public deserves to get caught in the subway doors and dragged a couple of miles.
He says he’s happy with the collection, but he looks like he’s been sobbing. Teary eyed dudes should not wear makeup. Or any dude. Sorry if that’s sexist or whatever, but men please. Let’s draw some lines.
Miss Trinidad’s first look is an ode to rusty pipes.
Next up is a bathing suit, which horrifies me. WHY? She’s added a sheer robe with shoulder pads, and I’m confused. It’s prettyish, but the tan lines on those boobs are gonna be frightening.
Miss Trinidad thinks it would look much better on someone less white bread. Doesn’t everything? Shut up and glue, ya racist! Her third look is a gold wrap dress thing. Zzzzzzzz. I know she took all of five minutes to do this collection, but come on, woman! If she’s always in trouble for doing to bright and printy, she should have gone all out with that and done it better. This just looks like a melted stick of Rolos.
Jersey Chore is n…wait. This is Himberly? I…I don’t…I….
Cookie Monster Chic
The next look is that same cookie monster blue but now with some pink. The skirt is all bunched up. I have to give her credit for her coy nod to her penis with the mix of boy and girl colors. There are a lot of proud trannies out there tonight.
It’s a Boy! And a Girl!
She is going a little far with the symbolism, cuz the terrible skirt makes it look like the model has a boner.
The third look is a really pretty black glitter dress with a clever turtleneck collar to hide the adam’s apple. Him knows her client.
I am what I am, mkay?
Jersey Chore starts with hot pink pants and a tuxedo type jacket top. This whole thing screams “Tim yelled at me.” If you’re gonna do your thing, do it. If you’re gonna do Tim’s thing, do that. Meshing them together just doesn’t work. It’s like someone crushed Hello Kitty’s birthday party with a funeral announcement.
Look two is just a simple black dress. Boring. And Fat Bitch Heidi will love that shit. She always does.
Look three is a sheer Miss Trinidad dress with a flea collar.
I wasn’t counting on Chore to be good, but I was hoping for at least INTERESTING. Boooooriiiiiiiiiing. He cries as he watches his collection. I do too, but mostly cuz I’ve slapped myself too hard to stay awake. The judges start with Miss Trinidad. Nina loves the rusty pipe dress, and it was the only dress Heidi likes. The bathing suit is unflattering and the color is drab. The gown is thrown together and has no wow. Kors says the gown looks tortured and her styling blows. Icktor and Chore smile big. UGH. Nina points out that she has a different point of view and needs to not try to fit in with a bunch of hacks.
Himberly is next. Kors recognizes her tough style and calls her stuff sexy but over-accessorized. Nina agrees about the styling, and Heidi hates the bubble but pink skirt and calls it awful. Ick is up. I have to say, seeing his collection compared to the others…his is the best by far, no? He brings up dead brother and takes a long sobby pause. Nina looks like she’s gonna barf.
Unless he died as an infant inside my digestive system, I couldn’t give a flying fart.
Kors loves the jacket and the period pants, but his accessories are a no go. Fat Bitch loves the violent hug top and tries on the jacket. Kors tells him to just whip up black pants and a tank top for the jacket. Remember that next week when he disses him for the black pants and tank top. Nina says he’s trying a little too hard with the zippers, and Kors thinks he turned up the volume way too much. Overall, though, he does well.
Jersey is next. He blahs on forever in his snotty Howell voice. Heidi calls his work modern and forward. She doesn’t like his car seat belt. Kors likes the seatbelt and the jacket, but he’s not so into the black dress. He hates the “modesty tab” that holds her tits in, and he hates the back of the see through flea collar dress. He does love the actual flea collar, though. Just. Don’t. Get it. Nina says she’s shocked that his styling is the best and she’s super impressed. She almost chokes as she says “you’re a very good designer”, but she does say it. aodiba;ldnva;lrig[asodihbbwerg;lknacva[sodibfh
So Trini’s out, no? Himberly is smiling, but she knows that she could be going down. Jersey tries to convince the other designers that he’s amazing and deserves to win. Trini compliments the guys and says she knows it’s between her and Him for the lose.
Heidi loves Icktor’s work, but Kors says that his styling is terrible. He hates the Jersey Chore Halloween gown. Fat Bitch thinks Trini’s work is bland and uninspired. Two out of three blew, but she wasn’t the only one. Nina hates Him’s colors, and Kors hates her styling. Fat Bitch calls the girls equally bad. Ouch.
The designers are brought back out. The boys are both safe, of course. Jersey squeals a bit, and my dog barks. LOL. Fat Bitch calls the girls stupid untalented slags and finishes the Little Caesar’s she’s been working on. And…..Himberly’s IN!!! WOAH!!! Total twist. I thought Trini had this thing in the bag until today! Snapple: Jilted Internet Sex Star Flavor. Sad for Trini, but psyched for Him. WAIT! Trini is also in! WTF?!?! No fair! Happy for her, but you guys just kinda wasted an hour of my life here. Everyone jumps up and screams in the back, but you know Jersey’s pissed. And sure enough:
wahwahnofairwahhatefulstufwahwahwah
Jersey is about to lose it, so it’s a happy ending all around. He thinks they should have both been kicked out. Dramatic music plays as he goes off about it in two different hideous embarrassing outfits. So what do you guys think? Was this rigged in Miss Trinidad’s favor, or should Himberly have gone? I don’t know. I’m sticking with Heidi’s critique: Equally bad. There will be no podcast this week, as I couldn’t find anyone to do it with me. Sad alone with a mic horns. See you for the finale finale!

Flipit I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, you do not know just how entertaining you make breastfeeding at 2 am. I usually end up laughing so hard that my baby smiles and tries to laugh with me.
Bejesus man, I just got home and have not EVEN watched the show yet… it barely got done…. spill dude, you get the show early from Lifetime don’t you. There is no freaking way, unless you are in the bathrom with Kim sharing Crystal Meth, to get this humanly done……. I will return AFTER I watch the train wreck….
GOOOO Jersy!!!!!!
Thank you, PR, for totally nailing shut that coffin lid for me. I kept trying not to watch the rest of this season, but, like Pacino, it kept “pulling me back in”…I guess I was hoping that art would win over drama. But this really did it for me. I give up. What a friggin’ crystal clear display of blatent thisthingisfixedism. 5DollaTrini-ho made that dress in 10 minutes…the judges knew it…they even called her out on it. Then, to go ahead and say “Anyone could win at this point”. OH, BULLSHIT POLICE, we need backup!!! There’s no excuse for what they did. And hello? Heidi saying “I think this is the right decision” to send all 4 to the final? Cue Kors and Nina doing some really bad acting with their “Oh, yes, we agree”. Who do they think they’re fooling? FIXFIXFIXFIX.
The only saving grace for this episode was the pleasure of seeing Tim go medieval on Trini and Chore’s talentless asses. Neither of them had a single thing prepared for his visits…nothing. And then, they show up in NYC with “collections” (really?) of lame, uninspired shit. You could see how badly Tim wanted to slap them each with a wet hand. (I know I sure did.) I love Tim…he tells it like it is.
Him’s stuff was pretty tacky, yes…but at least she gave it her all. She had a direction (a tacky direction), and that big-bustle, warped-front skirt looked like something you’d find in the bottom of my kids’ basement costume box, but there was some heart (a tacky heart)in her collection. Icktor is the clear winner, based on the fact that he designed clothes that a human being (or human-like entity) could actually wear. Plus, his boyfriend was REALLY CUTIEPIE.
But we all know that’s it’s a setup for SexTape to win.
PS. Total cop-out to not show Chore’s apartment. I wanted to see if he had that big shoe-chair from the top of Priscilla’s tour bus. And a leather sex swing. But instead, we got Snookie and a chicken caesar salad. Disappointed whomp whomp.
I’m glad someone else was pissed not to get to see Chore’s abode. I was so curious as to how tacky that tacky bitch could make an apartment. I mean… Do you know how much shit you can hot glue to the walls before you run out of space?
I’m just on page two, but I just realized that the dress Anya wore during Tim’s visit looks exactly like the only dress in her mini collection that the judges liked. So either she makes that dress all the time or she rummaged through her suitcase to find something to send down the runway.
Okay, back to reading the recap…
Agree totally that Trini should have gone home. I could have made that gown and I can’t even sew on a button (oh, wait, neither can she). Did anyone notice how her zipper totally fell apart when she put a garment on her model, resulting in her using the bathing suit? Same ol’ same ol’ her shit falls apart and is unwearable even after 5 weeks of doing it.
My conspiracy theory mind says they still regret not choosing Uli over Jeffrey and Trini’s style is the most like hers, so they are gravitating toward her. If so,this is another Wretchen year and they just may lose me. Who am I kidding? As long as Flip is doing the recaps I’ll tune in (shaking fist at you, Flip)!
Those were some FUG clothes. None of those “designers” deserves to be there. And I agree that the fix is in for MissSuckyFucky.
I call shenanigans! Yes, the fix is in. The producers have no shame and the designers have no talent. Yikes what a poor excuse for a TV show. After “All-Stars” is done I think I may be done with PR for good. The only bright spot is Tim. Tim walking down the dock to the boat was the best! Thank you, dear Flipit! I will always read your recaps even if I give up viewing the carnage for myself.
Also, Himberly looked like a totally different woman at home. She should have kept that hairstyle.
I saw Kara Saun was listed in credits as designer on Disney’s Make Your Mark (like “so you think you can dance”)–just fyi
I too feel like they wasted our time by sending all four.
I guess I was the only one who thought Icktor’s boyfriend was busted as hell. He was way too pale and overly smiley. I kind of thought Icktor would be a fan of the ethnic boys, like Anderson Cooper.
Note: all of the final four contestants have some dead relative they trot out when they’re about to lose, except Icktor, who trotted out his dead brother to undercut the sympathy tacky assholes Chore and Trini were going to get.
If Icktor doesn’t win, there’s no justice.
Regarding the Aftershow, I’m over Nutless. This was the season of the dead relative, not the color blind cancer survivor, so he needs to get the fuck off my screen. And, since he’s in the lead for the Fan Favorite, his existence will be further validated, thus, making me want to throttle him some more.
If not for Tim and Flipit, I would have unquestionably bailed after Wretchengate.
And hey, Trini told Tim she was having a hard time sketching “A DIFFERENT SHAPE”. Not designing “pieces” or “looks”…and certainly not a cohesive collection. TitsnEarrings couldn’t even manage to create A SHAPE different than the same old flowy crapftans she always tosses down the runway. And she totally admitted it!! Yet, somehow….
As Alexis Mateo would say (while wearing foam rubber hips and boobies), “Beeetchez, dah jig iz up!!”
Ugh. Kim and Trinidad were both bad but at least Kim’s looked professional. WTF was that shit Trini put out there? I’m looking at the final collections: http://nymag.com/fashion/fashionshows/2012/spring/main/newyork/womenrunway/projectrunwayjoshuamckinley/#
and the 2/3 looks Trini showed today are not in her final runway show! Are they actually going to say that she sewed two completely new looks when we know she absolutely does not have the skills to do that? I bet they helped her somehow, and if that is the case I can understand why everyone hates her so much on the aftershow! Why do they need her to win so bad? This is insane. And also, her final runway show looks like it heavily depends on belts and such that i”m guessing she didn’t make, right? b/c without those her flowy vests over bathing suits would just be stupid. ugh. I haven’t watched this show since Irina won. WTF has happened?
As soon as I saw Chore lived in Queens I thought “Of course he does,” and for the same reasons you pointed out.
It did feel like a cop out not to cut one of the designers, especially since that designer should have been Miss Trinidad, but it’s not like they didn’t have a good reason to cut Himberly for that awful pink skirt alone.
mnkid, yep! I’m thinking that Himberly used part of her $9K to have her weave re-set where it didn’t sit up 4 inches above her head. Or else her real hair grew out terribly fast while in NYC, and she couldn’t make it to a hairstylist during the competition. Either way, her at-home hairstyle is soooo much better than the frankenweave we’ve all been subjected to up to this point.
What is with people claiming that Trini is “sooo beautiful?” She looks like every third Fillipina I’ve ever known . . . only they were prettier. Trinidad must be hard up to find female contestants for its beauty pageants.
I bailed on this show the season before it moved to Lifetime. When it moved, I thought they’d change up the format or something to shake some of the stale-ass shit out the show’s weave, but they chose to go with more of the same. Flipit’s recaps are better than the show anyway, and I stay current with pop culture without direct exposure to numbnutz like Chore and his lispy ilk.
Trini is the only interesting and sexy person on this fleabag of a show, and that’s why she’s still around. And she knows how to style a look. Yeah, it’s all the same island schtick, but it’s wearable and it looks great. On her.
This was ridiculous. That “goown Trini made looked like she draped the material and then stapled it. It was appalling, and she sould have gotten the boot.She had all those lovely material’s when Tim visited. Where did the cheap satin come from? Off the comforter from some motel Trini recently stayed in?
I actually liked Himberly’s gown. Chore’s “collection” was crap. I may not like Icktor, but he should win. Which means he won’t…like Mondo and Wretchen all over again.
I really miss the old masters – Christian, Seth Aaron, Mondo…watching them do their thing – it was really interesting and exciting. This season, they all just phoned it in, even the “better” designs. And say what you will about Bert’s redonkulous Tellytubbies pants…they, at least woke, you up.
(And yes, I admit it…I had it bad for Seth Aaron. But regardless, dude was an artist. His designs were edgy, unique, and totally high fashion.)
OMG Flipit, you are the best.
“Is there anyone in the cast with a living family?”
Classic! Thanks for the quick recap turn around, you’re the best
This show ended for me with the Wretchen debacle. Her choice forever ended my belief that the best designer would win, or that truly talented designers are even on this show anymore. There were so many wonderful designers in the past….seeing Laura Bennett on After the Runway gave me the blues. She was fabulous, and didn’t win. These people aren’t in her league or Christian’s, Rami’s, Mondo’s etc.
I don’t always watch the show now for the above reasons, but would never miss a Flipit recap…clever, fun, snarky, outrageous and always on point. I love the pictures of the judges. Kors seems to be suffering from a rare mumps variation, Aurantiacus Fatalis…so sad. My motto now is “Anyone but Jersey!” I was shocked at his high school picture. He was cute! His appearance now more accurately reflects his uber-bitchy personality. He was sooooo pissed that Miss Trinidad was still in!
I kind of have to agree with Josh, the Mean Queen of Queens, on the rip-off of Miss Trinidad getting to stay. No fair! What about the motto of “One day you’re in, the next day you’re out”? Sure, on past days she was in, but on the day that it counted, she should have been out for showing those slapdash outfits. I actually didn’t mind Josh’s 3 pieces. I thought the jacket was cool. These were really his best efforts so far, although I was hoping he’d have some crazy, out-there, tasteless items for our entertainment. And, I agree that he was actually cute back in his high school jock days. Ugh, what happened? I was also disappointed that we didn’t get to see Chair’s Lair and what type of tacky decorations and boyfriend he’d have. Perhaps he currently does not have any and is living where he made his clothes? Icktor’s stuff was not bad, except that the jacket made me think it might be out of Jean Bice’s new Quacker Factory line for drag queens. Yes, the highlight of the whole show was Tim gingerly stepping down that ramp.
I giggle every time you show Himberly’s enthusiasm!!
Oh yeah, and what is it with these people wanting to make skirts that make even these size zero models look fat? Oh, oh….I want a skirt that makes my ass look 4 times bigger than it already is!!
Let’s be honest. Himberly makes clothes from those stores that are knockoffs of Forever21. How much lower can you go?
Icktor or Anya to win. If Chore or Himberly takes it, it’ll be almost as bad as Wretchengate. Kors and Nina are really determined to burn through all that Christian Siriano good will, aren’t they?
^I actually do though. My booty is kind of flat and I would like it to be juicy. Now, Himberly’s skirt was hideous…when she said someone could wear it to work, my soul left my body for like three minutes. That shit was unforgivably ugly and cheap looking. But I do like pants and skirts that make my butt look big.
By far, Victor deserves to win. I liked his flesh shredding top and the babydoll train dress quite a bit. And that jacket took my whole life away. It looked so good on Heidi, although I wanted to kick her in the throat for being able to snatch it right off the model and throw it on. Fat bitch. >_>
Chore was a big disappointment man. There were elements of each look that I liked, but they all turned out overall ugly.
And I laughed so hard when I saw his pictures from high school, because to see him now, I would never ever ever think he was a jock. And a hot jock too!! I still think he’s attractive (in a gay way), but it’s so funny to think about the person he clearly became after leaving the Midwest.
Finally, I am so ashamed of my lady love. She did not even try. That gown was so damn ooglay it brought tears to my eyes. It looked like a crackhead found a satin snuggie and a stapler and decided to make a dress with just those two items. I’m mortified that she even thought it looked good enough to send down the runway. I’ve made prettier gowns with my bath towel. But I still love her dearly lol.
Thank you, thank you for confirming that I’m not alone in totally disagreeing with the judges here. By episode 2 I was worried this season was going to be a dud. Thud.
Victor is the only one who remotely has the talent and skill to be on the runway, but his three pieces were not as good as other things he’s done earlier; I was disappointed. The other three were pathetic. Still I’m putting my money down right now on Josh winning, because I had the distinct impression Nina’s been carrying him the whole time. Nina runs the judges’ panel, it appears to me, and Josh should have gone home several times already, but for her clearly making excuses for him. My sixth sense is telling me the fix is in, and he’s known it from the start as well.
As for Kim, what she put out there looked like something you could find at the $7 store. Anya’s weaknesses were obviously overcome earlier by the other designers helping her out so much. On her on, her pieces wouldn’t make it to Wal-Mart. That dress couldn’t have been plainer and the print sucked. The judges were grasping.
I don’t know what happened to PR, but it’s gone downhill fast since changing networks. I’ve seen some fabulous clothes from other competitors during the years; this year is just sad.
Fuck you captcha!
When was this taped? Before or after the sex tape was leaked? It just seems to me Miss Trinidad was pretty shaken up — maybe the sex tape came out while she was supposed to be at work?
I don’t get why she was allowed on this season anyway. If the show is only about sewing skills, call it Project Seamstress. I don’t see why designers shouldn’t have help while pulling their collections together — as long as the designs are theirs.
Sure, Icktor can sew. But he has zero creativity. And I just fast-forwarded through Himberly’s segments, figuring she was a goner. Her stuff is just…zzzz.
Jersey Snore FTW!
Flip love the line, “Jersey’s stupid pointless tattoo today of his own name with his cell number under it. Tacky ass” HAAAAAAA!!
So I like Trini, maybe itchy’s got a point? and hey, if she can rise above the whole sex tape scandle and not use it ala Kim Kardasian and actually get noticed for her talent… well, fasion talent, than I say go girl!!
I also think Himberly looked really pretty when she was younger(but her line is wack!) As for the young Jersey jumping over barriers, I am amazed he could jump and be crosseyed at the same time!! Now thats talent… his only talent.
Ictor FTW! not that I like him, but his stuff was the least fug.
I was watching season 2 reruns on Style this weekend…I knew the quality of contestants had gone down hill since moving to Lifetime, but it was shocking watching season 2 compared to this season. The designers were so much more creative and the challenges were far more imaginative and interesting. PR used to be must-see, but I may delete if from the DVR schedule – gasp!
So then I’m the only one who sees Hiedi fondling Tim behind the scrim in that screen cap up there?
I was watching the season 2 as well, Enrique’s Mole, and was astounded by how far the show has fallen. Now it’s just another edited-for-drama reality show like all the others. They should have let PR die with dignity on Bravo.
Welcome to Loud’s Happy Meadows, a retirement center for reality television shows as they enter their twilight years.
Lord save me. Did anyone look at Oliver’s (I will not stoop to calling him OLIVEEAY) decoy collection? Seriously, this dude HATES women. He took his paper dolls and gave them gigantic man-brows. That was some fugly clothing – how the hell did he ever get on the show? Were the judges all on crack highs that day?
The fact that there are so many funny moments and, of course, flipit, is the only way I survived this season. Some of those designs should be criminal. And that applies to just about every designer except Matlock <3.
@ What to my wandering eyes: Yup, saw it too, looks like she is cupping his balls.
@ itchy: I agree. I also don’t understand why they can’t have an assistant at home. You think Michael Kors sews his whole line before it hits the runway–or any of his clothes? In some instances, having ideas (like design) doesn’t mean you have to be able to execute the particulars–do you think Candice Olsen knows how to build a couch? NO, but she designs plenty of them.
