Help! Where's LynneSin's Project Runway weekly review?
Huh? Where is it?

Should we start without her and wait for her to join, or maybe she'll post it on her lunch break? :shrug:

What did y'all think of the reunion special? This is the first season I've watched, so I don't have the last two seasons to compare it with. Seemed a little uncomfortable in places. Keith is wacko, I think while he's talented he might have a problem with compulsive lying. And Vincent is just disturbed.

I'm going to be so sad when this season is over, this is the only show I watch with any regularity other than Eureka on SciFi (now over for the season, hopefully will be picked up for another season) and The Daily Show. How long between PR seasons, usually? Only one per year? I might have to satisfy my withdrawal by watching Top Chef - looks like a reality show with some creativity, which is why I like PR - the contestants actually have to be able to DO something skilled.

1. Oh, it was a hair-pulling spectacle
We can talk while we're waiting for LynneSin.

This is the first "reunion special" I've watched as well. I was wondering if the other two were as tense as this one was.

I really like Michael, but we were very sad that Allison didn't win the 10K. I also thought she (in a nice way, of course,) told Heidi and Tim to go to Hell.

Keith needs some help. Almost as much as Vincent does. Jeffrey should have been removed from the show after his display with Angela's mother. Next week should be something else.

I told DH last night that if Jeffrey wins "Project Runway", I'll stop watching it. The tinkering of the producers was a bit too evident this time around, and the show loses its fun for me when the judges claim they don't take prior work into consideration, but there's at least one of the final four that should have been voted off on multiple occasions prior to this.

2. I think Vincent should have been auf'd during the recycling
challenge, not Allison. I don't mind Jeffrey so much but he was indescribably rude to Angela's mother. Angela also seems batshit crazy, though not really in the hostile way Vincent or Keith are.


Laura has accused Jeffrey of cheating during OFW/the preparations for it, so even if he wins, he might have been disqualified. I've seen some of the stills from OFW and Michael's work was a bit of a disappointment. To me, Uli did the best work at OFW, perhaps followed by Laura. The two guys kinda fizzled.

4. I've been reading the forums over on "Television Without Pity"
today, and they don't have the AllisonLove. I can't believe she got auf'ed and Jeffrey was free to wreak havoc on the rest of the season with some seriously ugly clothing.

Evidently, it's just us here...I know a woman who works with Ulli; she says nobody at their employers knows what happened. Period.

6. gasp! All kinds of funny stuff to rehash, though they're doing
it better over at Project Rungay...

Heidi looked like she was going to laser blast straight through Keith; I've heard that she's exceptionally nice until you piss her off, and I could definitely see that last night...

8. Keith is still an asshole
Vincent has problems although i admit his tantrum over his laundry was funny.

the preview for the finals looked interesting i wonder if Jeffrey does cheat. it would be really stupid if he did considering what happened with Keith.

i saw a post that said Michael's final collection wasn't all that great. i wonder if he is in the same position as Daniel from last season who was in the finals. he did some great outfits in the challenges and won but didn't come through in the finals. whether he wins or not he will benefit from this show in a huge way and might even end up doing better than the person who wins.

i was glad to see Malan doing well and hopefully his family will some day come to support him and see they are wrong.

this season has been the best, not sure how long until the next season. i didn't watch the first season but not much seemed to come out of the winner then from what i see. some of those who didn't win like Kara from the first season and many from the 2nd seem to be doing better than he is.

9. Flax bee what would you have as your runway show?
I'm thinking I would do a chronological collection, starting with a cute young look, a college look, a first interview look, a travel outfit for my first job, an everyday office look, a perfect black dress, (maybe a bridal gown) and then move onto to a great soccer mom look, soccer mom goes dancing, and then a mature look, day and night. At the end of the show, all of the models would come back on wearing my signature long coat, like a barberry, in bright neon colors for young and darker colors for the more mature looks.
My point of view would be wearing the same designer from 17 to 70.
