I have no dog in this fight at all, but I thought I'd point out that your link shows up in the blacked-out spoiler-preventer thingie in "recent comments".
Geez. I know what happened already. I know if I just wait a couple days it'll be on youtube, but . . . . there's a part of me says I gotta get more cable channels again. *sigh* Project Runway, I am SO your bitch!
I thought that Christian's design was fantastic. Those motocross jean with the patch knee....rowwwrrrr. But he won last week and I think they didn't want to give it to him two weeks in a row, so....
Oh and all the praise that Rami was getting for the innovative zipper trim design? What was up with the judges' short term memory? He totally ganked from Jeffrey Sebelia at the PR Bryant Park fashion show.
Doesn't anyone else care that Christian makes the same damn jacket every week? (although his pants were fabulous) He can probably make that in his sleep.
I love poor Sweet P - she was just trembling in the wind this week, and when the judges actually liked her dress, she seemed so shocked. I like her for the same reasons I like a scared little rabbit.
Sweet P's look was awesome, and I think if the challenge wouldn't have been sponsored by Levi's she would have won.
I agree. As soon as the Levi judge said that it needed more 501 I knew she wouldn't win, but her dress was fantastic. I like the way she listens to what Tim has to say, which improves her eye every week. I hope Chris takes note of how listening to Tim is a good idea...
Doesn't anyone else care that Christian makes the same damn jacket every week?
I care. Considering Jillian literally made the same jacket this week, I felt it better to temporarily lay off that criticism though.
Also.
I can pull for Chris as an underdog, but I'm not going to follow you folks on the Sweet P thing... Sorry. She's not obnoxious, and she cares a great deal... but... well, that's all.
pokermonk, I totally understand not liking Sweet P. My sort-of like for her is in spite of myself. But ugh, you like JILLIAN? That girl with her frozen expressionless face (her eyebrows don't move!) and listless voice and weird obsession with wearing balloony short shorts drives me *crazy*. Sometimes I wonder if she's a robot. But then she would be cool, and she's not, so I guess she's not a robot.
As far as personalities go, the person I like least is bland Jillian (stiff and wooden, I agree with misskaz), quickly followed by Christian (but at least he's entertaining). Like I've said before, I think that Sweet P is a bit of an airhead, but she's endearing and reminds me SOOO much of my grandmother. I don't feel she's a talent, however.
In my opinion the talents (craftsmanship and style) are Christian, Rami, and Jillian. I still have hopes for Chris. All of them have a niche, and are good at something, and keep doing that something over and over. I'd like to see someone break out of their comfort zones and do something risk-taking. The only truly wonderful design I've seen so far was the team effort of Chris and Christian....that beige dress.
Jillian is definitely an acquired taste. I love that she isn't an intense personality, and I feel like she's embarrassed but not ravaged to the core of her being when the judges get on her for putting together something not-so-great. Do I think she makes for great TV? No, but I identify with her character, she's got talent, and she has spectacularly giant hair. That's all I'm looking for in a long term rooting interest.
(I also don't think she's as stoic in the work room as she is in the interview box.)
