I haven't read all legendary's posts, so I may be off base here, but what I have read seems to indicate soemone who is trying to get a flame war started. First off, people who have wealth and lineage usually find no need to flaunt it on the Internet. They have more self-confidence than to have to proclaim how rich and and how wealthy their lineage is (especially "old money") Also, some of her comments seem to me to be VERY tongue-in-cheek, but definitely meant to stir up controversy. As y'all did with Dee on the Epi 4 board (when she got stuck on the "dogs are not fashion accessories" kick-on the WRONG board!), just ignore her when she is "flaunting" herself....

Was anyone else surprised that Angela didn't add a mylar rosette to her outfit tonight?

. . .I'd like to have something additional to show. Something like the Queer Eye tips between each segment, explaining something pertinent about the industry or the workmanship we witness each week.

For example, our questions about croquis, bobbins, muslin, etc., could all be explained in video shorts aired between commericials. That way the producers and the advertisers are made happy (we stick around during those commericial breaks), the audience feels more informed, and the show is more participatory.

So you could win every week but if one week you are the worst out there, you could be out. That's the point.

FF1 says..

As the field of candidates narrows down, I'm sure that we will see more workroom time, Tim time, and judges' discussions per candidate. That is happening already. So, as we get even MORE emotionally invested, the producers will show us more of the reasoning behind the decisions.

The utter idiocy of the recent "judgings" has led me to believe that PR would be a much better show if the viewers were allowed to vote, rather than the producers...

Let's talk about the bottom three;
This week we're aghast and do agree
The judges' decision was really tough,
Three quite bad dresses made it rough.
A stunning bomb by two of three,
and one effort that's a mystery.

Kayne's gown was just a lime green mess
Made worse by his model's laquered tress.
He admitted that it really stunk
And whined about having to sew this junk.
The judges nearly barfed, you see,
But Kayne's talent squeaked him through home free.

Vincent made a tall white hash
of a gown with stripes and oddball trash.
He sent it down the runway slow
The better for this confection to show.
The judges flinched involuntarily;
Why they kept him, I don't see.

Allison made a yellow gown,
Not one you'd wear around the town.
With poofy skirt and wrinkled top,
A strange and sculptured marshmallow frock.
With MInnie Mouse hair and thicker waist,
Her model added to the distaste.

All in all, quite a difficult task;
Who should the judges continue to let bask
In the glory of the runway light
For another competition night?
No matter who they chose to go,
Many fans would cry and scream "oh nooooooo."

Wouldn't want top be in their shoes;
The choice that faced them could only lose
The respect of fans of the booted one,
This time the decision was hardly fun.
To have three people on the floor
As candidates for out the door.

Have mercy on these poor, fine peeps;
They did their best, knowing they'd face heaps
Of criticism from the many folks
Who think their decisions are just jokes.
They're doing their job, it's just a show.
Lighten up, it's just fashion, don't ya know!

Just a thought, that's all. I'm off to bed. Thanks for listening.

"Unfortunately, by losing Alison BRAVO TV loses the demographic of normal mainstream professional women's audience who were actually interested in the substance. "

OMG! Are you people serious? ROFLMAO. If you want substance go open a book, read the NYTimes or watch PBS Frontline.By the way I have done all three and still find time while waiting for a cab to look at the Enquirer. Pop culture folks. There is not SUPPOSED to be any substance here!!! Not one single person in 3 seasons has taken off as an actual designer and MOST of them have made a small cottage industry off their connection to the SHOW. Appearances as former contestants, blogging on other sites, interviews and commentary on the current season etc. Not actual fashion. Not even the winners. NO ONE any where is wearing their current mainstream readily available clothes. It's a TV show. A TV SHOW. I spend over $10,000 a year on clothes (actually if I start adding it is way more) and if you think I will stop watching any Bravo because they kicked off a 23 year old sneaker wear designer who made the fugliest paper dress ever you need to get a life. It's a TV episode. Each one judged each week. No points from the week before! Worst one that week is supposed to go. To sit there in Iowa and make remarks about how dare Nina judge clothes and what do these people think and I am BOYCOTTING Bravo. I cannot get over what you people put passion into. "I am a plus size women and how dare Heidi....blah blah blah." WOW. Put that much energy and passion into getting UP from the computer and you might NOT be. Insults as to who is a 'newbie' poster and all. I guess I should stop being amazed by now but it is even more interesting then the show.

This whole culture that has grown around a silly entertaining TV show...Heidi Klum you are gorgeous and SMART like a fox!!! You go girl. Fabulous business choices.

I will continue to watch and enjoy and will save letter writing, boycotting and screaming at people over things that really matter in my life. Starving children in Africa maybe? Cliched as it may be but where is the Darfur message board. All you people screaming about writing to Bravo-when is the last time you wrote to one of your political representatives about something that effects your REAL life? I did last week and it's a good thing. Lol. You may claim that what is going on in Africa does not affect your life but you know what. Nina picking Michael over Jeffrey does not affect your life either!

The board has jumped the shark this season. When did it go from juicy silly commentary on a silly TV show to people LOSING THEIR FAITH IN HUMANITY. Lol. Love it. I enjoyed making snarky commments once a week on each episode. But when I read what people are saying and the fighting and name calling. Wow. Time for a little show called Reality Check.

Wow, well it's obvious to me that some people are more sensitive than others and thats what all the weight and money etc post are about but lets be honest here, thats what these boards are for people, an outlet. You, like everyone else, obviously come here to read and share opinions and ideas.
I don't know about the personal posts you've been recieving. I woke up this morning and read the big one I'm responding to.
Having been a part of several dicussions over the past couple of days I think that everyone knows Hiedi's importance and role in the show, THAT is why they want her to be a touch more sensitive. She has a varying audience, and as someone who has a personal investment in the show she needs to be careful.
As for what people spend on clothing, I will repeat what I said in prior post. It's not what you spend it's how you use it. If it was all about what you spend designers like Issac Mizrahi or Keanan Duffty wouldn't be wasting there time with Target. You are right about what you spend on clothing adding up...I think what matters is what you get for that money. If it's a really great suit then great, or if it's 6 amazing tops for the same amount. That's the whole money thing I think it's all relevant to who you are...I think that's what you're trying to say...maybe...
As far as the Essex House post...that person dug their own hole with prior posts. NOBODY was responding to them out of jealousy or envy or even thinking that they were some better off. All the nasty remarks about them had to do with tone...tone being the same reason I felt compelled to respond to you.
Laura is great, be she a savy business person or a good mom...there have been many defending her on this board. Me being one of them.
And as far as speculation about next week, why don't YOU not assume that they don't have moms or loved ones in their lives that want to participate in something that is important to them. It may not be next weeks challenge but thats the fun on this board, we like to do detective work and try to figure it out...its called fun.

This is the last thing I am going to say about Vincent. If he is a nut, so am I. If he is a PITA, if he is arrogant, egotistical and crazy, so am I. Enough said.
