I am very disappointed with
Project Runway so far this season. I usually love the cocktail dress challenges, because who doesn't like a pretty party dress, but there was
only one or two out of all the designs that I even would deign to consider OK. They all tanked it this challenge, if you ask me. I know, I know. They didn't get to choose the fabric (I feel especially sorry for team Ugly Brown Fabric) but they still could have done a lot better I thought. First off, the only ones I liked were the oompa-loompa's (oh, sorry, I mean
Blayne's), and
Terri's. And neither of them were in the top three. As for the top and bottom three,
Kenley's was the one I liked the best out of the top,
Suede's was OK I guess but didn't deserve to win. Maybe if the top of the dress fit better, and I did like what he did with all the bias strips. But I never really like a tutu on a dress. And
Stella's? As much as I love a rock-and-roll dress, I thought hers just looked simple and tacky. The bottom three were all awful, partially because of the Ugly Brown Fabric (two out of the three both had the UBF).
Korto's fin dress was a little over the top, but not half as bad as some of the others. If the fins had been trimmed down a little I think it would have probably been in the top. I thought that
Emily's (Hello!!!! Short!!!!! How could Nina have not said something about that?) and
Joe's (boring boring boring) should have been down in the bottom before Korto's was. At least she showed a little imagination.
Wesley's was bad and fit horribly, but I really wish he could have stayed. His ideas and designs were good you could tell, I think he could have done a lot better with different materials. I think I would have kicked
Leanne off before him. Oh well, c'est la vie. I really hope that the next challenge wins me over. Don't get me wrong, I'll still watch it even if the judges and designers continue to piss me off, but I won't enjoy it. You hear me, Heidi? Hopefully next challenge Tim will say "Holla at your boy" and there won't be any UBF.

ugh completely agree.
ugh completely agree. Hopefully the designers will break through their slump. I don't want this to be the first season I don't enjoy watching :( And part of the reasons I enjoy watching the old seasons, aside from the actual designs, were the good, funny and sometimes crazy personalities of some of the contestants. However, I can't point out who that person will be this season--they all seem so blah! I guess only time will tell...

Disappointing!
What was up with the "cocktail" dresses that looked like something out of Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby's Got Back" video? Suede and Kenley definitely had the best designs. Though by the end of the show, I was wondering what Wesley's bigger crime of fashion was: his ill-fitting hot mess of a cocktail dress or his white shorts and red sneakers.

Totally Agree
I think Blayne Du Soleil's dress was cute, and they keep ignoring Terry her sweater top from last week was cute and her dress this week was "chic". Korto's one of my favorites and I think Nina likes her too so I don't see her going anywhere! Even Michael Kors admitted that the design of Wesley's dress was nice, but the execution was terrible somebody else could have went home before him...maybes someone who lacked taste ....Jerrell's dress was FUG!
"Sup Holla!"
