i thought nick should have been out over andre, yes indeedy.

and shut up nina about the stupid flowers, NO ONE CARES. plus like tim gunn said on his blog, its as though the judges didnt realize you cant buy many flowers for only $100!

i loved chloe's dress, and thought it looked most like a dress-but daniels was again very innovative and interesting. plus he used FLOWERS. haha

I would love to have dinner with Tim and Andrae at Red Lobster with EdHill.

EdHill, I was so gonna break up with you and turn my cyber affection elsewhere (I know you didn't know we were an item. That's not the point...) but I've fallen back under your spell with this one. This was the best episode yet. It is so sad to me that anyone had to go. All of those dresses, including Andre's were beautiful and satisfied the challenge. I was hoping Kara would finally win one of these as she is really turning into Lydia the fishmonger. Someone else sucks just a wee bit more than her each week. This time she was a front runner.
Santino's Tim and Andre tale was priceless. I could listen to him do that all day.
WTF on the Marie Antoinette judges? "I was expecting more flowers." These rich beeotches obviously don't know or care what flowers cost. One hundred dollars at a florist is nothing. That's another reason the dresses were so amazing.
Edhill, did you know you can put Heidi saying "Are you een, or owt?" on your cellphone ringer? It's is so stinkin' funny. Her voice on the intro is so bad.

Great recap, EdHill.

Auuunnnndrae may have stayed slightly composed while saying good-bye to Heidi, but his flailing of the arms when he ran behind the screen was absolutely hilarious. You just know he runs like that everywhere.

Time for Kara to go. She did okay this week but she's definitely not up to the standards of Chloe, Daniel, etc.

Can't wait for the reunion!

Tim reminds me of my studio professor in college. I think that's why I have a non-sexual crush on him.

BTW, EdHill, you didn't mention Andrae's "girly" run off the stage. I'm a girl and I run manlier than him!

Michael Kors reminds me of Alan Sues from Laugh In. Can some clever person do a side by side of this?

I was waiting for a "My Dinner with Andre" pun.

I was completly shocked that Kara pulled that dress out of her ass at the last minute. I thought she would go this week. Hilarious recap. I had to rewind Andrae's exit many times. He looked like a 12 year old girl runnung for mommy.

I'd love to join Kara in the ficus smoking, what does it say about me that that comment made me like her more!? Guess she pulled it out this time, nicely done, I thought.

I did think the moss dress was hideous from the get go, but the others were lovely. I know I would have been Chloe, gluing till my fingers fell off, I was glad they gave them more time.

A gay Steve Martin (despite the commercials for the pink panther) Hubba-hubba--Thank you Edhill for a hot, hot thought!!!!!

LOVED the story by Santino--good for him for having something fun that makes me root for him not to go . . . who'da thunk!?

Lastly, “Bumble bee popcorn turns on the faucet. Not too much gravy! Stop the elevator!�--Is that before or after toking on the ficus!!! Another classic--thanks for the re-cap!

Ed, this was your greatest recap yet. Even funnier than the making of the band one where hte lady threw her kid on the ground. You must have remembered how i love me some lord of the rings jokes.

I was shocked that Kara's dress came out as well as it did. I also had to give her props for helping chloe.

Friday night....i'm goin over to the 42nd street red lobster and look for my boyz tim and andre.

(and heidi- what were you wearing darling? you're pregnant, not parachuting!)

LQ, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v441/palladio22/2.jpg

Best I could do, alls I got is "Paint". Still there is definitely some resemblance.

Sad to see Andrae gone, he was not only entertaining to watch, he also made pretty interesting clothing. No doubt though his sod dress was the least attractive of the bunch. Oh well, maybe he can patch his lawn with it.

Sorry to see Tarah go too. Even gone, Zulema sucks.

Not a Kara fan at all, but she was really smart choosing those tall grasses, or whatever they were, to braid and use for strapping. Still hope she is the next one gone though, I just can't feel any love for her and I don't really know why exactly, it just IS.

Shame Santino didn't win this one, I sooo would have liked to see what he came up with having immunity!

Oh and Yay for the one hour reunion!

"He thinks it’s cute and sheek"

its chic actually

Holy shit chronic, that's so great! But I was thinking Michael Kors and Alan Sues. This is just as good. If Elton John and Alan Sues had a love child, it would be Michael Kors.

Yes Leah3t, Heidi's dress was awful. I thought part of it accidentally got tucked into her undies after a potty break.

Does Daniel's nose weird anyone else out, in that Owen Wilson-esque way?

I cannot stand Nina Garcia, she is simply a bad judge who holds grudges and her face always looks like she just smelled shit or something.

I think Heidi can do NO WRONG ... she's amazing! BTW ... did anyone hear about her telling one of the aspiring models on her new show that shes too fat to model, or something like that. Seems a little hard to believe, but you never know ... that business can be brutal.

Didn't want to see Andrae go---I usually like Nick but I thought his dress was worse this time. Also, aftr last wk's episode whn Nick went on & on abt his model theft, i was getting fed up w/ his drama.

Santino's impressions were hilarious & dead on as mentioned. I like that Tim was such a good sport about it, even seem amused.

Ques: I've always thot the Bible belt affects predominantly Southern states so I was curious whn Dan said that 'he grew up in Michigan, the Bible belt'---anyone know?

I thought everyone did amazing on the challenge. And I did think Kara's dress should have won.

When Tim told them that they only had $100 to spend. I thought, how can anyone purchase enough flowers in NY with that amount of money?

After reading Tim Gunns blog, he obviously agrees, and was put off by the judges constant mention of the lack of flowers.

And wanted to comment to the judges. "You can't purchase the Tournament of Roses for $100!"
He also loved Andrae's dress, and I loved his blog comment saying. "Andrae be proud of your fine showing, and see you at Red Lobster."

I really felt Daniel, Nick and Andrae would be the final three.

The constant flipping of the winners and dark horses is what makes this show so exciting.

"DANE-juh, no tress-pah-seen."

haha

How I love you LQ--I thought part of it accidentally got tucked into her undies after a potty break.

I'm still laughing!!!!

Great job on the comp Chronic!!!

Forgot to mention Oily Witch of the West--Guess I'll get you my pretty was for Tarah this time : (

jjsquishy - I wish Grace was Daniel's model, they'd really make a stand out pair. Imagine them face to face.

jash - I don't know why but that made me laugh.

I think Tim Gunn can do no wrong. On the site he mentioned waking the designers up at 6 and said something like "I had already been up for hours." The man doesn't even need to sleep! His voice is wondrous, his enunciation is flawless, his look is impeccable. So what do you think? He wakes up at 3, orders an espresso enema, does a few yoga postures, reads the Wall Street Journal?

Also, I'm going to organize my own tri-state TVgasm gathering. To reward Daniel F. for so many wins I'm calling it "It's a Mother F***ing Cocktail Hour". Any parties who are interested or have suggestions should e-mail me. Am I allowed to post my e-mail? Let me get back to you on that. J-Unit, can you advise?

RedRainbow & jash, hilarious! did that make u laugh b/c she said it a million times, in exactly the way jash spelled it??!! she was crazy with that theme, i saw the repeat again the other day---she even told the hairstylists to make the model look's say 'danger, no trespassin' (WTF?!)

After reading the following, I nearly shat myself:

"Bumble bee popcorn turns on the faucet. Not too much gravy! Stop the elevator!�

well played, EdHill...well played.

Oooops! Hm, I guess I started off looking for the Sues pic, and then when I came across a good pic (not many), my mind just automatically switched gears. Seriously who the hell else can open their eyes that big.

Might give it another go later.

I'm in LA, LQ--will that be close enough?

LOVE that you worked in an Oscar Nom as the title!

“I have no problem with it being shiny.� says Heidi, to which Michael Kors responds “because you’re German!" What the hell does that mean? Germans like shiny things? I could be wrong but I think that was a dig on the ole German shiny vinyl S&M fashions.
Surprised that you with your cockring reference wouldn't get the S&M Reference...tsk tsk Ed, you're slippin. Maybe LQ can help refresh your memory. ;)

Speaky of shiny and wet looking - is anyone else sick of that too tight, too wet, too greasy, pulled back hair of Kara's?

#27: Yes, I am tired of Kara's asymmetrical bun week after week, but what bothers me more are her square teeth. I wish I could find the shot of her smiling in this week's episode that made me CRINGE, so I could share the pain with you all

"Designers, look out for Andre. He's our little lamb."
http://santinorice.com/uploaded_images/breakinbread_web.jpg

jjsquishy- i agree with you about not liking nina garcia..she always has that "i'm in a f***ing magazine, don't cross me, bitch" smirk on her face.

sad to see andrae go, but his dress was not well-fitting. if he formed it more to his model's body, it would have almost looked like a cute tweed dress. kara's was good, daniel's was adorable, chloe's was wearable, and nick and santino fell short again.
nick now seems to me more of a celebrity designer than a banana republic designer. he wants to create gowns for the stars, not working -women's plaid, cropped, knit tops.
my prediction: daniel, chloe, and nick will make it to the runway.
who izze out in the next challenge? my bets are on kara

Oh LQ - thanks for my new wallpaper!

I've been lurking around here since the beginning of PR and I can't tell you how much I laugh when I read the recaps. So thanks to all.

Did anyone hear the ridiculous "directions" Kara gave her model "Tell them the makeup should be Park Avenue fresh NOT Park Avenue stuff." ???

Ok...so Santino has really grown on me. The whole Tim Gunn/Andrae/Red Lobster schtick was absolutely hilarious. I want an entire show of him doing just that.

LQ...wonderful image...thanks for the link.

I totally think that MK was referring to the whole percieved German obsession with everying kinky with the shiney comment.

For the most part I think the whole judging panel always thinks they are too important and knowledgeable to possibly be in the wrong. They have no reality meter.

Best recap I've read in a while. Thanks.

I loved all the outfits. Even Santino's wasn't that bad. I thought Nick should've gone though, because his outfit was more party than garden party. As boring as I think Kara has been up to this point, I think she should have won this one. Or Chloe. Daniel left dress straps showing with nothing on them. I thought that was against the rules?

WTF was Heidi wearing? That dress is a mess.

Great recap EdHill!

OK, I got lazy and just stuck Kors on the end. Good call LQ, they do look alike. Not the best pic, as all the ones I could find of Alan Sues, he's pulling an Andrae face.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v441/palladio22/3.jpg

Only just had the lingerie episode up here in Canada. There's no way I'm not reading the recaps, it's just not the same :-(

Hey you guys-
I don't watch this show (and apparently i'm missing out). But I was browsing thru blogs tonight and found this for all of you die hards. I don't know if it's any good as I didn't really read it. But just thought you might like to know.

http://bloggingprojectrunway.blogspot.com/

“Bumble bee popcorn turns on the faucet. Not too much gravy! Stop the elevator!�--Greatest three "sentences" ever. Nearly pissed myself reading that bit.

EdHill: Nearly had a panic attack when you said you didn't know who Badgely&Mischka were. And no one else has commented...which makes me assume no one else knows who they are either. They are like, super famous designers who do a lot of couture wedding dresses and make gorgeous long gowns with brilliant patterns.

They probably had them on because of the couture thing and because they do stuff with a lot of florals. Or because they could get them that week and knew that every gay male watching would have a mangasm.

Anyway, my dear Tarah has left and now Andre's adorable model is going to go as well...*sigh* more of the marshmallow to come.

great recap. gravy jokes never get old!

from the bravo site, here's santino doing tim doing "closer" by nin.

I'm amazed Kara is still EEN. She's so annoying.

I have a feeling that next episode will have Santino out. They showed a preview and Kara was sobbing on either Nick or Daniel saying "I should have said more". She is such a psycho.

'Shat' Rumdog? Thank you for not saying 'shitted'. 'Shitted' is so pedestrian.

#37 - Of course we know Badgely&Mischka - but Ed was making a joke on them - which is what Ed does. And why we love him.

Somehow Kara managed to yank this one out in the end; pehaps she knew she was in DAYNGAH of getting eliminated... it reminds me of when Wendy Pepper won the Access Hollywood challenge and wound up in the top 3. I will be horrified if Kara makes it to Fashion Week

Did anyone else think Andrae's model looked like she was allergic to her dress? Her eyes seemed so watery and I kept expecting her to sneeze. Andrae's girly run after he was out made me laugh, mostly because my sister runs the same way!

I haven't liked Santino but he redeemed himself in my eyes with his Michael Kors impression during the ice skating dress challenge ("it looks like a baboon's ass"). But I became a Santino fan during this episode with his Tim & Andrae & Red Lobster story. Anyone who could come up with something that twisted is someone I could hang with.

I knew Andrae was gone as soon as he said that he wasn't leaving. I've finally watched enough reality tv to catch on to all the editors' tricks. Even without the foreshadowing I knew Andrae was gone because his dress was just plain fugly. Michael Kors was dead on when he said it looked like a doormat. I'll miss Andrae's histrionics but his dress was clearly the worst.

As to why your Battleship Earth joke is so funny, Ed, darling: It plays off the deepest essential conflict within the gay dynamic: the itty, bitty se(a)men fellows in opposition to the Mother-Earth-Goddess.

While we all know that Andrae's fit was off, ya gotta acknowledge his vision captured the chic urban WASP message the term "garden party" evokes. Think Breakfast at Tiffany's, right? He was robbed.

1. nick was talking about how HE was a rent-a-date because he could dress well and dance (i.e. everyone took him to dances). i'm not sure if you got that and wanted to make a joke or not.

2. my top three have changed, i think... sadly, because i love nick and so want him to win. now i think chloe, daniel v, santino (and santino will definitely show at fashion week as the decoy if not).
but i really think nick isn't up because he did that dress for brenda strong for the SAG awards.

3. i love nick. love him.

No cooter mentions again, EdHill?

I didn't think Andrae's was that bad, he got screwed. They should of dumped Kara, just based on her past fashion abominations and losing the barbie hat fiasco.

I think Andrae was a doll, one that cries a lot and has weird outbursts, but a doll nonetheless!

Santino still looks smelly, like someone else said, bad chinese food. His Tim impression are funny though. So glad ZuScary was thrown off.

Is it me, or does Nick make the same dress over and over? His explanations are funny.

I continue to hate Nina and her overly affected accent. I suspect that she is a nice jewish girl from Long Island, named Nona Schwartz, masquerading as a fierce ruling fashionista, from Bulgaria, or wherever the f*ck she claims she's from! What a big pile of BS she's trying to sell!

I think Daniel will win this one.

KH

Andrae was by far my favorite reality television star EVER. Sad to see him go. I really think they should have let Nick go because they both had equally poor showings this week and at least in my opinion Nick has had an overall poorer showing throughout the process. I really felt like Kara was ridiculously lucky this week because she is by far the weakest one left.

Did anyone else notice that at the very end of the previews for next week's ep - Santino looks like he's shaved off his bin laden?

Andrae's dress looked like a bullet proof vest made out of lawn trimmings. he had to know it was a piece of crap. i think michael kors would give daniel a bj in a heartbeat. he is constantly fawning over him.

Santino's Tim Gunn impersonation was great. I was cackling the entire time.

^ cakling like beth at the end of last week's RW/RR challenge? that witch- cackiling made me spit out my coffee!

*cackling..spelt it wrong twice..and differenly..wow, today's a good day

My favorite part was towards the beginning when Andrae said "Someone is going home, but it's definitely not me. It's NOT me."

I think final three will be Chloe, Daniel and Nick.

I am glad Nick is still there.
He makes me laugh and besides the garden dress I like everything he does.

Kara got extremely lucky. I thought for sure she was going home. I even voted for her to be out on the PR website.

I love Santino's impressions and want him to stay only so he can continue to make me laugh.

so sad to see andrea go...

the last supper picture was hilarious, thans for that

in the words of michael kors "i'm a total dan fan"

i don't think nick's previous work was vulgar, but his latest design did not impress me. He's like a little stray pup you want to bring home and play dress up with...tmi?

Of course Daniel is going to win. I think that he totally plays it safe way too often, and I don't give him many chance-taking-props. I thought Nick's dress was more visually interesting than Daniel's and looked like it was probably more difficult to execute. I also think that Daniel won partially because he had the most FLOWERS as opposed to FOLIAGE. Tim was right, this is NYC, baby. No hundred dollar Tourney o'Roses. I thought Andrae's was cute and I think he got shafted. Kara is definately the weakest link!
I want in on the M-F'N cocktail hour!!! I am in RI, the armpit of the USA, please don't leave me out!

I'm a girl, but I have a crush on Daniel...he is one hot gay guy. I am now pulling for Santino to make it to the top 3. He actually won me over with his spot on impersonation of Tim Gunn. And his story line was hysterical!
My final 3 prediction: Daniel, Chloe, Santino

NOw that Andrae is gone, who will be Tim's new date? The make-overs could be fun this week.

Just a shout out to LQ--great job!!! They should have used that as their promotional poster!!!!

Last week Nina Garcia gave Santino the thumbs down for being inspired by graffiti, ie. predictable. I think she said, "I'm sorry, every artist is inspired by graffiti." This week, she's disappointed no one used flowers, which is totally predictable. Idiot.

And since no one said it, I will, Badgely looked like a radioactive Mystic Tanned Cheeto. Every time the camera panned to him, my eyes watered in stinging pain.

i hate nina garcia. plain and simple.
spatula- i totally agree with you-- she contradicts herself from week to week. if every artist is inspired by graffiti, then how many artists do you think are inspired by flowers (a la daniel's inspiration). she should have just said his execution was not up to par like daniel's.
hey nina: it doesn't matter what the inspiration is; the task wasn't to choose the most interesting muse, otherwise andrae would have won. it was WHAT YOU DO WITH IT! did i mention i hate nina garcia?

Nina Garcia. I'm loathing her as we speak. Sending evil death rays her way. She is a duplicitous snob. One week she wore the most heinous dress and I forgot to hate on it. Looked like something your mom would wear to a picnic in 1987, while you rolled your pre-teen eyes and sneered "Mom, you are soooo embarrassing." Any screencaps of this hideous garment? It must have been 3 or 4 weeks ago.

http://projectrunway.shopthescene.com/detail.php?p=3974&SESSID=a81ef3fce0c6182850ec58e555e402ec

oh fuck, i want this!

^ my apologies, in all of my excitement, i forgot to censor it.
it should be "oh f**k, i want this!"

I am so disapointed!! Cafe Press is not offering the "Where The Hell Is My Chiffon?!!!!" shirt anymore!!! Does anyone know someone who may have an extra to sell?

I read somewhere that Nina Garcia is from Colombia. If so, then maybe she is applying Medellin Cartel techniques in judging these ridiculous fashion "challenges".

I don't think she's all that bad though.

Bravo's website features profiles of the judges, that's where they mention she's fr Colombia (& Michael Kors is from Longisland!) I don't thnk she's that bad either, though she does seem 2 have it in for Santino, even when he's not that bad (like ths wk, so what if he shellacked the hell outta dress that wasn't meant 2 b worn anyway). The judges on all these reality shows contradict themselves all the time, it is quite unfair. I ddn't thnk it was a big deal the designrs ddn't use more flowers.

Free Tim Gunn? That shirt makes no sense. "Free Winona" made sense. It was lame, but it made sense.

edhill- anything done by the adorable daniel vosovic is worth buying..even with its ambiguous meaning..maybe it's "free tim gun from the constraints of his red lobster bib"??
*side note- we couldn't use the "adorable card" for buying garbage clothing from jay mccarrol, that's for sure!

September- Daniel says he's bi, not totally gay.

There is still hope! :P

Does anyone know exactly what type of flowers Daniel used on his dress, all I could find was blue violet, but that doesn't sound right to me

In Tim Gunn's blog, he described the flowers Dan used as 'blue-purple orchids'. I thought they were hibiscus but that's that Tim said & my guess is he saw 'm in real life, he would know.

Pixie, I thought it was Santino who said he was bi, not Dan? In last wk's garden party episode, he said he came out 2 his parents last yr. He did mention having had a g'frnd, who said he ddn't know he was gay. Another reviewer commented on an interview w/ Santino they read somewhere that it was he who claimed to be 'bi'. (but maybe they both are, i just hadn't heard that abt Dan)
