Anyone see the season premiere? What did you think? I think I have a favorite already. His name begins with a J and ends in an n. :-)

I only ever saw one full season, season 4, I think it was, when Christian Soriano won. Just noticed I can watch all episodes of this online (I haven't had a TV for years) and I just might follow it this season for fun, thanks for the tip.

I'd forgotten this show was still on. Sort of fell off my radar after it changed networks. Although if the new season's just starting up, might be a good time to get back into it...

Timothy creeps me out. Justin in my favorite. So far. :-)

Timothy is cute. He's just horrifically naïve.

And Timothy's downfall will be that he doesn't know the difference between art and design.

I finally got around to watching the premiere. I really like Justin and Bradon thus far. Timothy seems a bit too ridiculous to be taken seriously.

I feel sorry for Timothy. He is trying so hard to say what he thinks are the right things and what he thinks will impress this nebulous notion of "the right people". I was much the same way at his age, albeit with regard to a much different group. And also, too, he is thinking like an artist. Art and design are very different things. He can't possibly win. My more cynical friends believe he will stay around awhile because the drama with Miranda makes good television. And regardless, I still think he's cute. :D

As an artist, I was taught to listen to the materials, and only two really did. Bradon was the only one who really listened to the fabric from the beginning. I was shocked that more designers didn't think to do something really big and flowing like he did. And Sue, though she didn't listen to the material at first, ended up doing so and came out with something really striking.

I'm sucked in, officially, now.

I do like some of the structural differences this season:
* the contestants having to keep track of their own funds;
* Tim at the actual runway and in deliberations with the judges;
* the Tim save

It's going to be an interesting season.

Yes, I really like that they have to monitor their spending over the course of the season. Not only does that make it more realistic (whatever that means), but it will put the less diligent budgeters at a disadvantage towards the end, which I think is a great thing to throw in.

I do like the "more Tim Gunn" aspects of the new season. I was especially happy he was part of deliberations after the first episode, when all of the judges (except Heidi) were going to let Miranda slide after she ignored the assignment's rules and barely used any of the parachute fabric in her dress. I cheered when he said he would've given her an F. Tim seems to be the voice of reason for both contestants and the judges. :cheer:

Finally saw Episode 2 last night.

Again, Timothy is thinking like an artist and not a designer. I get the feeling that he would be really good at focusing on art pieces, works that are designed for exhibition rather than wearing. It would suit his passion for telling a story much better.



I absolutely loved Dom's gown and thought she should have won.

Now, one thing I know about this sort of show is that they edit heavily to make contestants look more like a "good guy" or a "bad guy". It heightens the drama and makes the show more "interesting", but it also makes the contestants look unrealistically two-dimensional. Take the case of Sandro, who has been shown to only ever be a drama queen of the highest calibre. Yet look at how gentle and tender he was with Helen. I wonder if they would have shown that if ...
His outfit was pretty fantastic--I love what he did with the lace, and it's clear that structure is very much a part of his aesthetic. But his refusal to call people by their actual names (see "Red", "Amish") will not engender any sympathy in me.

I did not like the person that was sent home. I wanted to see more from this person and learn more about their background as well. I am so over Timothy. That fabric choice and design were awful. There had to have been better fabric in the trash bin! :-)I liked the Russian dudes dress. It had a great architectural look.



I love that they have to watch their money this season. I also love that Tim has a bigger role. It's nice to see him out with the judges. Also love that the judges get to take a closer peek at the top and bottom looks.

I agree with Vidan on who should have went home. That dress was a complete disaster. But then again, the prior week I thought Timothy's dress was by far the worst of the three. I suspect that we're seeing certain people with strong personalities get passes because of the drama potential they bring to the show. They probably don't want them eliminated right at the start, especially when there are less interesting people also in the bottom three to choose from.

On a positive note, at least Timothy is allowing his model to wear make-up now. Maybe next week, he'll even let her hair be styled!
