Okay, I haven't even finished the first page and I read:

"I'd show up everywhere in boxer briefs and a bikini top with my muffin hanging all over the place screaming "I'VE GOT A MAN, LOSERS! SUCK IT!"

HILARIOUS!
Back to reading...

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! As I was watching last night and I saw Hobo roll his eyes I TOTALLY smacked my BF in the head and said "Ah HA! I bet you a million billion jillion zillion dollars that Flipit takes a screen shot of that eye roll!" Thank you for justifying the BF's bruise today.

Poor Hobo... I was wondering about the rolly-toddler-car on top of the actual car hood thing, too. I would SO have thought that any slight movement and he would have gone tubmling right off of there. He's a sorta-nice person, I guess, but kinda irritating, and his wedding dress looked like the laundry basket I use for sheets only. Only his dress looked like it had more cat hair and lube-stains on it. I also love how YARN is the answer to any of life's problems! LOL.

Great recap, you are so loved, fabulous job!

love, J-Mo :)

LOVE the recap! I laughed out loud when I read the line about Squirc putting down the bowl & scissors to answer the door! LOLOL
Seriously, couldn't she have found 45 minutes to get a haircut in those 2 months?? The part about Cut shoving some frozen Tombstones in the freezer also killed me.

In the new TV Guide it shows all 4 designers showing their collections at fashion week. Did Hobo show too? Or are they just trying to confuse everyone to keep the winner a secret.

Can't wait 'til next week! Go girls!

"In the new TV Guide it shows all 4 designers showing their collections at fashion week. Did Hobo show too? Or are they just trying to confuse everyone to keep the winner a secret."

They have been doing that since season one. By the time the fashion show ends and the time the episode airs all that is known is that four contestants showed off their line. The people there wouldn't realize that one of the contestants wasn't in the running.

great recap! i LOVE leanne! i hope she wins! but this year the final SIX showed at fashion week, that means joe and suede did too. they pretty much blew it

"Oh, Bristol" = spiiiiiit. Off to buy new keyboard...

This recap makes my insides hurt -- I don't know how the hobo references get funnier and funnier the more I read, but they DO. I also love love LOVE all the different cars Tim Gunn drove around; apparently tvgasm hasn't sold their souls yet to any car companies...
Was this season so pathetic that they aren't even doing fan favorite? Usually it gets thrown in your face every ten seconds, but maybe they realized it would come down to choosing the least bad. Or maybe they are donating the money towards a new wardrobe for Jerrell. One can dream....

"Only a warrior would wear a kidney stone as a ring. Don't make her cut you. "

!!!!

I guess I'm still the only one on that lonesome Kenley train, but really, there's no one else, is there? Cuttoe's just filler, and Leanne, bless her hot lanky self, is just too damn bland.

And besides, I've always thought the fashion industry was built on overlarge not-altogether-pleasant personalities. Kenley will fit right in.

So Kenley it is. Wonder what the explanation was that we didn't get her family and friends visit. Or is this some kind of joke from the editors?

For me this season has been a snooze-fest and I don't really care who wins. Your recaps have been spot on and so funny. I've enjoyed them much more than the show.
Flipit what I want to know is will you be doing any other recaps after PR is over?

How did they so totally screw up the scheduling that SIX designers had to show at Bryant Park? Maybe next year EVERYBODY will show two dresses there.

I think Leanne will win.
All of her stuff looks the same, but so did Christian's last year. That's what the judges think of as a "strong point of view."

LOVES IT! This was soooooo funny. I cant wait to read next week's recap.

Great recap! Cant wait until next week.

Saw the four finalists on Regis & Kelly and they were introduced and sat in the following order- first Kenley then Korto then Leanne and then Jerrell.

So now that Jerrell is off the show, I wonder if they were seated in the order of the final verdict? Kenley (right next to Regis) then Korto then Leanne? Is it possible? Kind of hope not but really close to not caring with these folks. I never thought I'd say it but I miss Christian, Jeffrey- all of the other ones with....personality.

Confess I have been a lurker, reading the awesome recaps without registering... till now. I just had to add my name to the list of people BUSTED at work for laughing inappropriately while I should be working. This weeks snort-inducer? "It looks like the Ugly Duckling killed The Swan and wore her carcass to prom"... Last week's spit-the-coffee-on-the-keyboard moment? "The model looks like she's gonna start spinning around at any second to polish the runway". THANK YOU Flipit for making this season so much more entertaining than the actual show!

I have to come to Kenley's defense. I love the girl & she provides so much life and humor to the show. I'm glad she's in the finals and I'm glad Jerell got kicked to the curb. He was an arrogant ass. I love that you screengrabbed his stroller thing on top of a car? Who does that? And his dad's fro. That thing looked like a Penthouse centerfold from 1977. Big snatch! That being said, GO KENLEY!!!!!

Itchy - Yes, where was Kenley's family? Bravo couldn't be so biased to not show them on purpose. I figured at the very least she would have a boyfriend. I pictured a meek boyfriend who only opened his mouth to say "yes dear." And he would look exactly like all of the guys I see who are going out with a Bettie Page wannabe. Big sideburns, rolled up jeans, plaid shirt, Buddy Holly glasses, drinks Pabst beer. She may just not have anyone. Pops is off on the tugboat. She did say last week how her whole life she was used to being by herself in a corner while everyone else was laughing at her. Hmmm...wonder why? She is so charming she should have 600 friends.

Thank you for getting rid of the Homeless Wonder. He deserved it for wearing that stupid tie necklace, never mind what he threw down the runway.

I love your recaps - what are we going to do when this shit-parade is over? My fav:
"Let her go towards the light, hon. Maybe bury this pic with the tulle and get the Rachel cut."

I feel as though I can admit what I did yesterday morning, on the 'gasm, in somewhat anonymity...so after Kors made that statement about A. McQueen, I googled his spring/fall lines for 07 and 08 (which by the way - OMG! I have a totally new appreciation for avant garde!) and there was a red dress (I can't post pictures on here, can I?) that I swear, if it were white, was soooo similar to Kenleys (not to mention the one you posted) - I'm not accusing her of cheating, but clearly, her thing has already been done, know what I'm saying?

Regardless - I still would've chosen her over Hobo - I agreed w/Nina, it looked like his model ran around outside in dirty rainwater puddles - ick.

Tim Gunn is so F-A-B! I'm concerned that Kenley is going to F with him next week and I'm gonna have to go all Naomi Campbell on her stupid ass! Don't mess with him girl!!

Hm . . . a fun episode, filled with Tim awkwardness . . . . so funny to see him out of his element on the back of a bike, or diggin' on some african drumming . . . Go Tim.

I really smell foul play in the air, and I don't know what I expect, being RTV and all, but why didn't they just give the last win to Squirk and just skip this excersize in futility!!!! They made whole lines, but got judged on a wedding gown and their last challenge, why bother doing a whole line. I suspect they wanted Bettie in there, and they knew her wedding dress rocked, so they used it, the whole epi seemed slanted toward Kenley going and hobo not-oh well-I wasn't a hater, but certainly not a fan. I don't care who wins, but I will miss my recaps!!!! Kisses FlipIt!!!

Fantastic recaps, as always, Flip. I will have serious co-dependency issues after the show is over and the recaps are no more. I hope will move onto something at least watchable, since I will have to watch it no matter what to be up on your recaps. Love!

I think Kenley should not have been in the final at all, as several times she just barely and God knows how - and unjustly- escaped elimination. And Hobo won the last challenge before their going home, and every such winner before had a guaranteed place in the Finale. But, on the other hand, his wedding gown and its little sidekick were really horrid, so there.

For those of you who just absolutely can't wait till next week to see collections, here is a sneak peek of all 6 of them: go to usnews.feedroom.com
then search video for 'Project runway' and it will be the top video returned. You can't see all the pieces, but you can at least get a feel for the collections' tone.

I've liked some of Kenley's clothes this season but I hate her personality. Kind of the same with Jeffrey. Someone on another board mentioned that last year when Tim did the home visits, none of Christian's family was shown either. I don't really remember...

I'm not thrilled with any of the final 3, but I would rather Leanne win than Kenley.

Thanks for the commentary Kenley.

Well a gigantic EW to you, you-you-you!!! I am not Kenley, but I do like her. Can't someone just be a fan?

ReeseWitherspoon:

If you say so Kenley.

You made me laugh out loud again and I needed it. Gunn & Heidi sharing a giant sausage behind the screen? I missed that shot. What IS that all about?
And the Squircangle comments were too much! That skirt thing did look like at least 50 fart cushions (I couldn't quite place the look at the time). And the "impregnated with a Hershey's squirc" comment -- oh, please, my sides were already hurting!
I like Kenley staying for the personality factor. I would love to see something embarrassing happen while her show is going down the big runway (is that mean?) just to bring her down a peg. Then again, like Kendra on The Girls Next Door, the "did she really think that?" factor (and same horsey laugh thing) draws attention.
Please, please take on another show to review. All hail Flipit reviews.

"Bring her down a peg?" Really?

If you've been watching the show then you'd understand that Kenley's not up on a high horse -- that would more accurately describe last season's obnoxiously pompous winner. She's already down and obviously hurting from something. If only from the aftershocks of adolescence...and growing up in Brooklyn.

She received the 'evil' edit this season, that's not necessarily her fault. They could easily have taken all of Cuttoe (Cameltoe?)'s snarkiness and turned it against her. They didn't because she's black and a refugee, that wouldn't be PC.

And it's hard to pick on Squirc. That'd be like kicking a kitten.

But the producers needed someone at least valid enough to bring to the final -- no way they could do that with any of those other clowns, especially not the gluegun hobo.

So they pick on Kenley, because she made it easy - and she no doubt did. One thing I actually liked about her was that she was quite open about all her comments and giggles. Not very politic, of course, but honest.

But I refuse to judge any creative person (that is, someone involved int he creative arts, not a subjective judgment) based on their personality --it just wouldn't make sense.

We become artists precisely because our vision does not always--or ever-- correspond with the mainstream. And being ostracized --and being uncomfortable around others as a result of that ostracism-- often goes hand in hand with being out of sync with one's peers. You try speaking with a bunch of tugboat captains' kids about fashion, see how your childhood goes.

And it becomes very easy to be defensive, and strike back, even be downright nasty, especially while still young (it gets easier when you're older and can create your own environment).

Now, if you were able to remove the personality from your judgement and look objectively at the designs, then you'd at least give Kenley credit for being at the top of this pack --and for responding to the criteria of what a 'winner' showing their collection should have achieved. As nice or at least coherent as Squirc's stuff may be (if you like to see people wearing whoopee cushions), is 'fashion-forward' enough to win?

So I'm not saying I'd like to hang out with Kenley. She's probably annoying and extremely high maintenance. And I'm not saying that Kenley's a great designer, or even a good designer (I'm not really apt to judge that kind of stuff anyway). But she's certainly the best of THIS season.

And you you you, enough with the Repug-style pot shots. Conspiracy-theorizing is not the same as debate.

How about practicing what you preach?

You've already shown what your REAL gripe is about, so I could care less about what you say.

If you're acting like this now, God forbid if Korto wins this.

*shock**gasp**horror*
*This must be a government intervention!!!**She can't POSSIBLY win this on her own!!!*

I can't wait!

Hmm...someone forgot to take their prozac this evening.

itchy:
Hmm...someone forgot to take their prozac this evening.

It was morning when I posted that, genius.

Wow...Mom, er, itchy. I thought I was leaving comments on a tongue-in-cheek kind of review site.

I'm glad there was some follow-up from others.

Just exactly what set off your long-winded tirade?

Please don't lash me with such a long post again. A short statement of a different viewpoint will do.

I really like tvgasm.

mousecat:
"Just exactly what set off your long-winded tirade?"

Insecurity, and a disdain for those who are "different".

Ah, so I was right about the Prozac part then, eh?

mousecat: a) it's all tongue-in-cheek to me. I love discussing this nonsense while the real world is going down in flames. Part of the fun.

b) no one requires you to read anything here. Just look at the pictures, Flipit's great at captions (but you don't have to read those either), don't want you to get too tired out.

itchy:
Ah, so I was right about the Prozac part then, eh?

I love it. If anyone disagrees with you:

a) You conclude that they must have some kind of mental condition.

Or,

b) You become defensive and insutling to another poster who tried to have a civil conversation with you.

Now I KNOW you're Kenley. LMAO!!!

Oh you, you take this all a little too seriously. I mean, it's just a show.

I know that its just a show.

But when you have to associate someone's advancing or being aufed as some sort political indictment, then you're the one who is taking it as more than what it is.

I didn't mind Hobo's collection, although he's definitely not a sewer.

And I thought it totally unfair that he got to show based on his three wins - one being the very last challenge.

But the producers wanted a way to auf him and not anyone else last week and he didn't oblige them, hence the changing of the rules.

Based on those lame rules, this week was the right choice. I think Hobo lost his will; he didn't care anymore. I thank him for not crying when he said good-bye.

I would LOVE to hang out with Hobo and his fruit friends. He should be my next gay bff.

itchy:

I only wanted to comment that your really long post lecturing down to me was both unnecessary, degrading, and embarrassing.

I don't expect an apology from you. I just don't expect one.

alright you guys, we are here to gang up on strangers, not fight with each other. this is almost as bad as a political comment board. where's the love? kenley dug her own grave this season personality wise but she's still talented and deserves our respect. lol. she's not gonna get it because this is tvgasm, but we should at least extend a bit to each other, no? end mommy time.

thanks so much for your comments throughout the season. you have made this really rewarding for me and kept me laughing all week. my next show is top chef, which comes back in november. but we still have to get through the finale and the reunion of this baby! LOVE

Sorry, flipit.

Despite this, I really do love and look forward to your recaps on the show.

Great bitchery, and keep up the good work!

awww Flippy- I was enjoying the post war.

gitgo, I am sorry about the "war" actually.

I took offense at the tone of a response I got and I felt the poster needed addressing.

I don't know which of the remaining 3 contestants will show the most talent at the big show, but I will probably shed tears of support (truthfully, I can be really corny that way).

I would probably have a hoot hanging out with Kenley. I am big on the eye-rolling too.

flipit, the love does need to be there, and I think we can have fun and be loving.

just wanted to point out that Kenley didn't grow up in Bushwick, Brooklyn--that neighborhood has seen its share of hard times & is only recently starting to experience slow gentrification. According to Bravo's website, Kenley grew up in Florida, Coral Gables I believe and she does has a BF (posted pix of him on Bravo's site.) Still doesn't explain for why no visit w/ her friends, even if her family is miles away. She teaches a sewing class in NYC, so they could've at least shown that as her inspiration, right? Weird. In any case, thanks for the laughs, Flipit!! I love the boxer briefs & muffin top fantasy confession, heehee!

ooh you're doing top chef again???? sweet sauce.

awesome recap, by the way. only took me a year to read it but i enjoyed every word. screengrabs killed me.

There is also another McQueen dress that is almost identical to Kenley's except the feathers are red. I'd post the link to it, but it won't let me. If you go to The Glamazon Diaries, there is an article about how red is the new black or whatever. There is a picture of it there.

1. For the record, Reese has been on this site for ages. Long before Miss Kenley decided to roll her eyes in PR's direction.

2. I just realized someone already mentioned the red dress. *blush* I thought I was so new and cutting edge! ;-)

3. Great recaps, Flipit, and I look forward to Top Chef!

Flip, I have been a long time reader of this website, and I still remember when you first started recapping shows, and you've grown and improved tremendously! And I must say, these recaps have been hilarious. Comparing Squirc's line to a recital at origami school...I died of laughter! Keep it up!
