She is! (And since I've been away from the show so long, I hadn't known she'd left!)

So has anyone else noticed that, not only do Miranda and Timothy fight like siblings, but that they even *look* like they could be siblings? It's kind of creepy, really.

Also, I'm going to go out on a limb even further and say that Dom will be one of the finalists.

So, I have no gaydar, I didn't even know that Bradon was gay. But wasn't that all like the sweetest thing?

Bradon = Second win. Dom = Second week in a row in top three. If the show ended tonight, I have correct predictions. :)

And, oy, Sandro the enfant terrible is gone, gone, gone. You act like a junior-higher, you pay the consequences.

Correct, I haven't seen the audition show--I didn't even know it existed! Link, please? Thanks!

I do not have a link. It was broadcast right before the first episode. Go to Lifetime's website and they may have it. And no I do not think that particular event has happened before.

I found the episode, called "Road to the Runway", but you have to access it through your cable provider. The interface is on the Project Runway site, though.
Watching a bit now and the rest tomorrow.

Early August is birthday extravaganza time for me - three family birthdays within the first week and half - so falling a bit behind on the shows I follow. Although I finally got around to catching up on Runway this evening!

Just caught up with all the episodes today. Haven't watched a full season of PR since Gretchen *gag* and Ivy *wretch* (I may still have a crush on Michael Costello *cuddles*), but have found this group quite pleasant, despite the general bitchery.

I haven't seen the Road to the Runway ep, but these are my first impressions:

Sandro - I'm glad it wasn't just me attracted to Sandro. He left me as confused as he was. I must like my men unstable. Although vagines can stay boxed.
Helen - I like her, though she's a pretty terrible designer. Jesus, and that tattoo! Auf with her head!
Justin - His clothes are iffy, but I find him unbelievably cute. I would like to see more ;)
Karen - Ginger Edition Drew Barrymore. No impression whatsoever. Like Regular Edition Drew Barrymore.
Kate - She was THE bitch in a previous season? HOW? She seems SO nice and SO talented! PLEASE don't don't tell me she's just overcompensating, because she seems SO nice and SO talented! :P
Alexandria - Help me out here. She reminds me of someone and I can't figure out who!
Dom - No fuss, no muss. Want her to win. I picked her for the last win. That print alignment was amazing, but yeah, the bib was odd.
Brandon - So earnest. I think that passion translates to his designs. I thought the bow tie top was going to look awful, but against the models skin it looked pretty good.
Jeremy/Ken/Kahindo - I wish I were Nina. They bore me.
Alexander/Sue/Angela/Miranda/Timothy - They design clown clothes.

Agree with all you guys that the budget addition is great, and more Tim Gunn is always a good thing.
Oh, how cute was it when Sandro called him "Top Gunn"?

Just realised something. Where's Michael Kors?

I thought Sandro was saying "Tommy Gunn".

My prediction: Miranda is next to go, then Sue after her.

I'm pretty much in complete agreement with you on these ones. :cheer: I'd probably lump Karen in with the Jeremy/etc group though. She hasn't been interesting enough to warrant her own personal write-up, lol. She's just sort of been an ancillary background character thus far, and her designs have all been meh.

Ha! I almost choked on my coffee as I read that! Well done, sir. :laugh:

Overall, I liked the episode, although I think they're going a little overboard with the number of Unconventional Materials Challenges. Hoping they give those a rest for a while. Also getting a little tired of the product placements that end up having nothing to do with the actual episode's challenge. As least find a creative (and meaningful!) way to tie them in to the competition.

Since they divided the three obvious front-runners (thus far at least) into separate teams, I'm just going to designate them as team captains. :P

Team Kate: I disagree with ion.sol. I actually liked their collection. I enjoyed that they were able to have three distinct outfits and that still worked together as a "mini-collection." It's also the first time that Karen has sent something down the runway that I actually liked! However, I agree with Vidan's comments about Jeremy's dress. I'm surprised that it was the winner.

Team Bradon: Thought it was very close as an overall collection to Team Kate's, and I think the judges could have went either way. Bradon's individual outfit was the best out of everyone's, imo. I think that Bradon's awesomeness was cancelled out somewhat by Miranda's mediocrity, and that probably hurt their overall collection score enough to cost them the top spot.

Team Dom: Their overall collection was just blah. Dom had the strongest of the three (surprise, surprise), but even then it didn't hold a candle to anything produced by the top two teams. Justin's didn't look as bad on the runway as it did when he was making it. Helen's dress was horrendous, and I can't see her lasting much longer in the competition.

Team Awful: Thank goodness Sue is gone! I mean, I only have very, very basic skills as far as using a sewing machine goes, and yet I feel that I could sew circles around that woman. :dry:
In other news, Ken's obnoxiousness reached Sandro levels. And Alexandria, for all her smack-talking about the other contestants in her confessionals, folded like a cheap suit when actually faced with a confrontational situation. I did not care for anyone on this team.

A few notes I typed up while watching:
- "Innards of a goose, that produce foie gras." o.O WTF Brandon!
- Jeremy butt crack, if you're into that kind of thing.
- I want, no NEED, to slap Ken in a non sexual manner.
- In season 2 I could have sworn Santino left the workroom several times with his model undressed. I remember him gluing and stapling the clothes on a few times.
- Does everyone else fast forward through Heidi shilling the prizes before the runway?

TEAMS:
Brandon/Miranda/Ginger Vulcan
Winners in my eyes. Both Brandon and GV made great sculptural pieces. Amazing textile results too, but Miranda keeps dragging out that same effing dress.

Justin/Dom/Helen
This team was the only one that looked like a collection to me. Textiles were a bit drab, borderline Halloween/pilgrim aesthetic. Poor Justin's was terrible. Dom's was okay apart from the colour/print. Was very worried Justin was going to be auff'd when he got to call home in the middle of the episode.

Sue/Ken/Alexandria
Hideous and noisy, literally. Lets all passive-aggressively throw each other under the bus. Nina was on fire judging this group. Did she say "half ass--ed"? Holy crap Ken. His tombstone shall read: "I'm speaking so you need to be quiet", and thanks for pointing out "there's duct tape". Never would have guessed. lol!

Jeremy/Karen/Kate
Really unflattering designs IMHO. I really hate flaps that kind of stick out at the waist/hips. Completely destroys the line and makes most women look like they're wearing a sack.

Looking forward to next weeks "Glam-ping Trip"!
Hopefully Justin wears short-shorts :woohoo:

I always skip through the prizes and the announcing of the judges. Except for the special judge. :-) Ginger Vulcan!!! LOL

I could watch the judge announcement all day. Zac Posen is absolutely adorable.
