It was the four of them. Chloe, Daniel V., Kara, and Santino. They were being asked who they thought should be in the top three. Chloe was asked first. I don't remember what she said, but she named herself and Kara and Daniel V. and said something insulting about the quality of Santino's work. He was then asked and named himself, Kara, and Daniel V. and said he didn't have respect for people who were just patternmakers. It was really in response to Chloe having just insulted him, but she really got a lot of mileage out of it.
I can not remember the whole scenario but I am sure you are correct in your statement. Santino was not one of my favorites because I thought he was a little over the top. I also thought that he kind of sold out his style in the last runway. But that is just my opinion.

Indeed. His remark was retaliatory but she played the wounded victim and only to his remark. He never said to her, "Look biatch, you picked on me and I gave it right back at you. You can dish it out but you can't take it." I think I would have fired back at her with both barrels for that as tres hypocritical. Maybe he backed off because she's a female. I dunno. She successfully played the victim in the finale tho. I thought it was bogus, esp. as she kept digging at him even after she won. That wasn't her finest hour. She wasn't a gracious winner at all imo in regard to that.

He's gotta control his ego. Laura seems to really stick it to him in the next episode. I don't know why she opts to defend Miss Poofy Rosette Maker. Should be interesting.

A bit of self-deprecating humor.

And i can barely spell....so late ...just finished watching a most enchanting French film called "The Chorus." Much to contemplate in the movie about cheating, honesty, sociopaths, change, hope, gift, joy, forgiveness, understanding, death.

I think he is picking up where Keith left off in his attitude in the assembly room. He needs to play nicer in the sand box. I think he also is still mad he and Allison did not win that Keith Challenge and Angela did.

When we have the three exams per term we supply the blue book, I just told them bring nothing with you I will supply the pencils. I do not know if that is against policy but no one seemed to object and now that is the mode of operation in my classes. Others are now doing it too, like I said if the worked as hard studing as they do thinking up new ways of cheating they would all make A's.

On Keith's departure:
I don't think Gunn or Bravo are being particularly straightforward about this problem. From what I read in Gunn's blog, the issue sounds more like it's about liability than competition. i.e. if someone did indeed copy a design from a patternmaking book and walked it down the runway on national TV, Bravo could be held accountable for violating someone's intellectual property rights.
It seems exceedingly unlikely to me that this "help" is of a real benefit to Keith or anyone because -- if the show is as claimed -- the expert judges should be able to see real innovation, and therefore copied designs should not stand out.
Besides that -- I think if Project Runway is really about integrity and not mere Reality TV Drama, then the producers would let us know what the rules actually are, in total, and what the nature of the competition really is. Instead we get edited scenes from it and "Gunnified" commentary when Keith is kicked off. Neither is very satisfying, nor do I feel reassured of the producers' diligent austerity.
At this rate the final three designers will be mediocre indeed.

Yes, that is a serious problem with these boards. So who can you complain to on this issue? I cannot understand why there would be a board without the capacity to post unlinked,NEW threads. Everything is spinning off the original posting. That is nonsense. If the point of having threads is so you can follow ONE topic line, then not allowing the participants the freedom to create independent posts is foolish. I dislike having to use the 'reply' mode to get a fresh posting on this board. Moderator? Are you really out there?
In the edit mode you can delete whatever you like -- including the topic line. I'm deleting 'posting, OT kinda' changing it to 'deleting'.

It's a very appropriate episode title, don't you think? Discuss this week's "scandaliciousness" here!
While Keith's designs were great, you can't just go around breaking specific rules like that. My question is how did he get the books past the producers. Robert or Kayne said they checked his luggage and took out things that were not allowed. I have never liked his attitude. And the comment he made about liking to break the rules a little...what did he expect?
Did anyone ever think that maybe Keith didn't have those books on him when the producers checked their luggage and such? Remember, Keith did disappear from production for a couple hours, maybe he bought the books at that time and snuck them into his room hoping he wouldn't get caught. I really don't believe Keith has "never" made womens wear and if he hasn't, he had to use those books sometime during the show. People say Kayne was afraid of competition because he "ratted" Keith out, but to me, I see the opposite with Keith having the books on hand, just my opinion.

Hey, smkr4! If you have a few hours (LOL), read down the board, particularly the last day and a half. There are some very thoughtful posts from industry professionals about how and why such books would provide an incredible advantage.
Perhaps it is just me, but I would rather not to hear the "rules" of the show unless one of them becomes important to the action at hand. Imagine half an hour or more of droning on reading all the legalese in their contracts. Wouldn't exactly make for zippy TV, IMO.

Can someone clear something up for me? Were two of the models eliminated with Keith and Bonnie out? With the assignments shown for next episode, which two are gone? I still think Allison has the hardest assignment because I just don't see Farrah as a fashion icon except for her hair...
Presumably two models will be eliminated, because they won't need any more than the number of designers left. But that elimination should take place at the beginning of the next episode.
I wonder what "update" means... and how it will be judged. I worry that this is too much up for interpretation, so that there will be no clear rule.
I mean, how do you update Audrey H? Her style was fairly classic. Not so much in her"gowns", but in her casual wear.
How do you update Cher? If you make her too classic, you take away her very Cher-ness. I'm very worried for Laura here, because L's style is such a departure from Cher's and "update" does not imply "restyle", which is what I fear Laura's might seem.

I agree about "updating".....some of these ladies (especially A. Hepburn) have that timeless classic look...and I can't imagine what kind of "update" or modernizing that could be done to them. (course I'm not a designer, LOL) though Cher has reinvented herself several times over and this could be intriguing. Must go back and re-read the designer match ups.
PS: Yo-yo sisterhood....you crack me up. I loved both the book and the movie, though now I have images of the main mother character (actress's name escapes me at the moment, sorry) throwing a temper tantrum over yo-rosette-yo covered clothing! Oh well, I'm warped.

You're right, Audrey Hepburn's look is the very definition of classic, so how do you update THAT? Perhaps more color? Miniskirt? Different fabrics? Tis a puzzlement.
As to Cher, same problem. How the heck do you update her? Hard to imagine what would make her look updated, since she never exactly sticks with "the look" of the times, anyway. And, she's already worn every single style under the sun. Kayne would be up to the task -- would love to see what comes out of his brain for this one! Do you think one of the requirements is that the outfit would have to make the icon happy? No doubt Kayne would be able to swathe his creation in the requisite sparkles.

I thought I read that Kayne has Marilyn Monroe? If so, who's to say what she would approve of, what update would make her happy?
And, Farrah? Aside from giving her a new hairstyle, what would qualify?
I'm afraid this is all too subjective for me!

I started to read back to the designer matchups, but then realized I had to wade through the appalling amount of posts by she-who-must-not-be-named. Anyone have it at hand? If not, I will bite the bullet and start scrolling.
