My, my, this IS a cast of characters. Is it me, or do we really miss Project Runway right about now?

I still have no idea who these people are and/or what they are doing, but...

I love how beautfully the Costanza metaphor worked this week in terms of his problems with architecture!

Haha!

Great recap, Panda. I am soooo sorry to see Costanza leave, only because I would have loved to see if you could have worked in a reference to getting a golf ball out of a whale's blowhole. And shrinkage? Come on, that would have had to come up sooner or later in this show, wouldn't it? Oh well.

Most of the other contestants are total Can'tstandyas (yes, I am still milking it) for me, and the "experts", well, the less said about them, the better. I don't think Rawlette has an original bone in her body, and that's why she shut her model up so curtly. Asshat #1. Music Douche and the DJ (Asshats #2 & 3)'s clothes are interchangeable and don't we already have enough trashy J-Lo clothes out there? Patrick seems like a sweet guy actually, but I can't stand his makeup. I hate watching French revolution movies, not because of the human suffering, the violence and the guillotining, but because of the awful makeup those powdery people wore. Painted-on moles always creep me out. So Patrick, give it a rest. I liked the kimono minus the stupid tentacles, but the designer seems like a spacey idiot. And if only Merle could sew, maybe she could have made it onto Project Runway instead and given us some interesting outfits there, so I guess so far I'm rooting for her. But she looks so much like Peggy Bundy, which is such an unrootable-for character, it pains me. And she is a know-it-all.

Anyway. This show is trash, the lines are fugly, and the winners are horrific, but I'll keep watching probably. It's got to be reeeeeeallly bad and boring (Models-of-the-Runway boring) to stop me from watching something I have started. You know that when I could identify who at first I thought Peggy Bundy's "expert" was as James Paul from The Fashion Show, I have a high tolerance for bad reality competitions. And the recaps are damn funny! I will miss the George references, but I'll look forward to whatever Italian gibberish you can make Dentures and The Other One say each week...

This elimination ruined my Festivus.

When Costanza's bathing suit came out all I could think was "and you want to be my latex salesman?"
Great recaps, can't wait to read the next one.

Panda....great to see you recapping this awful show!

I just finished reading your recap wearing a pair of jeans, black hoodie and t-shirt(from Target!), and a pair of very, very expensive boots. You wear that t-shirt and cocktail ring together proudly! A high-low look is very "in" right now (that whole pesky economic metldown/I'm broke thing), so you ARE being fashion forward whether you meant to be or not!

Again, great job on the recap!

I loved the show. I loved the whole creative process and that they included a trend meteorologist. She was quite boring, but the show was certainly not.

I love the Patrick and Roberto team. It comes me coming back to see how they will resolve their egos.

I agree ..The architect was the one who should have gone home.
And the DJ just seemd to be following his experts lead. Because the last two looks are similar to her designs on her collection.
The next person to go should be Vanessa.Enough already.

Patrick and Roberto's dress was beautiful. Patrick walked out and Roberto did stay to finish the dress.So he is not that bad after all. I do not think that Roberto is trying to hurt Patrick but teach him...Isn't Patrick the wanna be designer. I mean you should know how to sew and construct clothes to say the very least. I think the dress was gorgeous. The shoes even the litlle handbag was adorable.

Remmber it's a show and we don't get to see the behind the scences of why people get so upset with each other. It seems like the tensions are very high between mpst of the designers and the experts. Except Emil and the jewelry designer. They both seem so sweet.

Poor Coco does not stand a chance with Marylin. Last week she seemed determined(and I think her dress should have won last week) but this week she just seems like a drill sergant with poor Coco.

I did have a Calvin Klein dress, that was similiar to last weeks winning look ,in the 90's except without the tail in the back..Will try to find it on the internet and post.

I will stay tuned that's for sure..

I think you guys are missing the boat here!! Lou Anna's dress was a Calvin Klein knock-off!! Racked NY also agrees!

The Show is brilliant. I am excited to discuss this show with fellow viewers.

I had grown weary of Project Runway with the same reputation over and over again. And the characters getting worse and worse. Season 5 of PR was the last great season they had. So this show is a refreshing new look at the collaboration of experts and designers. This is an incredible show for us fashion lovers. I like the fact that they are trying to make a cohesive collection and what a designer goes thru to make an entire collection.

My favorite designers so far are Marilyn Crawford(I think she has the smarts and the commitment to pull this off), The Dandy Team(Patrick and Roberto are the Stars of the show), and Emil and Kathy(they seem to work so nicely together)

I agree Patrick should learn how to sew and all that, but learning by working on the piece that will decide whether you stay or go sounds a little risky, no? I can't blame him for not wanting to try.

Hey SexyPanda, thanks for sticking with us on this show. Throughly loved your recap.

How funny, unlike Latifa and her expert, you and I WERE on the same page. I liked Peg Bundy's look a lot, and also liked Lady Gaga's. When DJ Mr. Rogers outfit came out, I was UGH. It looked cheap and sleezy. When he won, I yelled AYFKM???!!?? Could not believe that piece of crap won.

I also like Flamebrow, but he needs to kick Mr. Born on a Volcano in the ass and clear up his 'tude.

Loved all the Seinfeld reference, and @Pegster - you totally killed me with the Festivus mention.

Since I have no real life, I will be watching again this week. THanks Panda, for making watching worthwhile.... hugs! xoxo

Can't remember if I commented last time, but I've been reading! I like fashion shows too.

Loved the recap, but you can let Music douche have it!!! F'in clueless--you are right when he makes that face, but he is all thinking he's the ladies man and a player--it shows that he exists in the fitty world . . . sigh . . . and I only mean in the total and utter disrespect of woman and their reduction to booty, and play things you can dress up in shorts so you can take them off . . . my point is he's a sleezy, paunchy, older dude who thinks he can score on the all the twenty somethings out there-and perhaps, as a music exec, he has sucked the soul out of a few wanna bes--who knows, but guys like that discust me!!!! Nothing against seeing the models as hot and all, but thinking they're all feeling the same about you . . . bleeech, and BTW, fitty is 50 cent, just trying to be as derogatory as I can . . .ever since he pushed Jael in the pool on ANTM I have had an aversion for him! Not cool to treat woman like that, ever!

pant-pant . . . I'm loving Peg Bundy and her clever clothes . . . kuddos to her and very cool, I look forward to what else she's got. I think it's a great strength to know about fashion from a critics POV, and I don't find her snobby--yet anyhoo--she called that winning piece on what it was, a piece from DJ's designers line . . . are they blind!!!! And considering all that, she was pretty controlled at the judging . . .

I'm so agreeing on what a hideous piece of trash that winning one was . . . I guess it must be us, right!?

Didn't like Gaga's, reminded me of Cher designs from the Sonny and Cher show--as high waisted, bell bottomed pants always will. the tattoos on the cuffs were heavy looking, and didn't allow the fabric to flow right--I agree with whoever said it would be better on just the sleeves instead.

Back to the models--isn't the winner for she's got the look one of them--looking fabulous I might add, and I know she's over 35, and of a better age for music exec--but fat chance dude! Fat like your fallen waist line . . .

Brows is a pleasant surprise so far, and Latifa's interesting, not sure I share her fashion sense.

PS. I once had a roomate in witch school--yes, there is such a thing--and he would burn sage around the house all the time. Like rancid burning leaves--I am a fan of incense, the real burn on the charcoal kind, but sage was awful, and eye tearing, and I can't believe they are letting her let it just burn and pollute the room . . .
