So who's been watching Project Runway? Spoilers inside
[More:]
I've caught up on Season 10 and it's the first non-Bravo one I've seen. I've noticed a lot of product placement and rather awkward announcements from Tim about the HP tablets, Lexus, Brother sewing machines, etc. But apart from that, it's all still comfortingly familiar, right down to the trademark apartment door slam.

For those of us watching:

1. Who's your favourite? (Dimitri)

2. Who's outstayed their welcome? (Ven)

3. Who were you glad to see leave? (Buffi)

4. Who do you wish would come back? (Kooan)

5. What's your favourite outfit so far? (Ven's candy dress, which is so Rennie Macintosh.) But Ven's a one-trick pony (or a "one-way monkey", as Dimitri said) and there's nothing new from him.
Who's my favorite? Hmmmm.... Christopher and Gunner perhaps? They're practically twins in my mind.

Agreed on Ven overstyaing his welcome.

I was glad to see LANTIE go. What a bitch!

Kooan was cute, sad he left way too early. We saw near Times Square one day, sitting in a coffee shop! Still has his big blond afro.

Favorite outfit so far, hmmm.... I honestly don't pay that close attention to the clothes. If I can remember the outfit, I can't remember the designer. One of the candy dresses, probably.

Favorite: Surprisingly fond of Gunnar. I also like Fabio - he seems reasonably low drama (not good for reality tv though -- at least he wears dresses!)

Outstayed: Elena. argh.

Glad to see leave: Raul. Whiny.

Wish would come back... hrrrmmm. Nope, noone. I guess Kooan, because he didn't actively annoy me.

Favorite outfit? I actually really liked Dmitry's dress last week. I would totally wear it.

I didn't particularly cared for Gunnar (he was my least favorite) until the "real woman" episode when he was so comfortable with and seemed to genuinely like his model and want to make her look good. There wasn't even that interior cattiness that seemed to define his previous participation. I never particularly liked his "I hate Christopher because he's in my slot!" whining which was 90% of his early characterization.

I thought Ven was a one-trick pony, too, but he went from enh to ick in that same episode. His ego makes him stupid, and he should have gone.

Favorite: Not as clear as in years past. Maybe Melissa? I was really worried for her this last episode. I like Fabio lot too.

Favorite outfit: the geometric dress Fabio made for his real woman, both for the outfit and the solution it represented.

Still watching even through the nightmare of the last couple seasons. Haven't seen anything past the Marie Claire @Work (Ep 5).

1. I don't have a favorite yet. I still kind of like Elena but it might be the boobs. She says funny things in the 1on1's, and she's entertaining and I want to see her make weird spacesuit-like shit. Plus I like her accent.

I like the designs of Sanjia, Freegan, Dmitri and Britta. I'd like to see that as the final 4 but I think Ven might make it instead of perhaps Freegan, bleh. Oh yeah I forgot about Nathan the invisible man who appeared out of nowhere. Christopher might be good but he keeps doing skirts with that V pattern in front and his attention-whoring is pretty obnoxious. I could see him just fizzling out. I'm kind of excited to see how things will shake out later because it seems like they have a fair number of good designers to compete.

2. I think Gunnar can't really hack it. Never interested in his designs or cattiness.

3. I was glad to see Kooan go. I've been glad to see everyone go so far. Though I thought Buffi handled herself well when she started to realize she couldn't hack it and was going to go home. Still, her designs were awful and that haircut offended me with its very existence. Say what you will about the old teacher lady, but I respect the way she snuck away without any camera time or whatever. I got annoyed with Kooan just saying he's made the decision to leave, over and over, while just standing there.

4. I'm glad everyone is gone THAT I KNOW OF. Still need to catch up.

5. Dmitri's blue and black dress for MC@Work was pretty great. I like the look they did for April (yay April). Should've won.

OMG I've seen every episode of every season even when I moan about it being boooring.

1. Who's your favourite? Fabio and Dimitri have been making some quietly interesting things.

2. Who's outstayed their welcome? Ven - yeah I was interested at first but he seems to come across on camera badly in regards to women. Maybe being a women's fashion designer is a mistake?

Elena may have a breakdown.

3. Who were you glad to see leave? Not so invested as to care.

4. Who do you wish would come back? Kooan is adorable but his aethestic is not really mine (mine is more Elena's except for that last dress which was meh). I quite liked Buffi's energy but it was obvious she didn't have the skill level to fully translate into fabulous clothes.

5. What's your favourite outfit so far? Seriously considering selling a kidney for Nina Garcia's Fall 2012 Yves Saint Laurent Dress http://www.tomandlorenzo.com/2012/08/pr-judging-the-judges-week-7.html OMG love.

Pshaw. Strangely enough, hating women's bodies does not disqualify you from designing women's clothes. Case in point: Karl Lagerfeld.

1. Who's your favourite - I don't really have one. I usually do but this season no one appeals to me all that much. If forced to choose at gunpoint I would say Sonjia or Dmitri.

2. Who's outstayed their welcome - Ven and Elena. Double ugh.

3. Who were you glad to see leave - Ven and Elena (I'm posting from the future). Also? The guy with the pointy greasy forehead hair. The one who got eliminated and then came back. Holy shit, the designs. So bad. So so so so bad.

4. Who do you wish would come back - No one, everyone who's left deserved to leave. They all sucked donkey balls.

5. What's your favourite outfit so far - Again, meh about the clothes so far, but this dress from Sonjia is nice, I liked the peekaboo shoulder detail that you can't really see in that photo.

The guy with the pointy greasy forehead hair.

'Round here we call him Squiggy.

I dunno if anyone else likes to read the recaps on the AV club. I stopped when John Teti passed on the reins a couple seasons ago, but then he came back and did a guest recap for S10E4 which is funny.

Hi, 'pode ;)

He DID look like Squiggy....hee.

Also: Dmitry looks like Severus Snape. Now that you know, you will not be able to unsee.
