Jay was more than just an up-and-comer!! lol!! Who has been more rebelous; didn't take the money from PR, tried to license his clothing on his own, etc!! There's rebelous like Jay from season one, then there are "jerks" like Jeffery!!Maybe it's the year of the jerk!! lol!!

Did anyone notice how Jeffery's design was designed and draped almost to the exact details of Keith's winning design from the first challenge?--added the lime green but even kept the blue color. Other than one being paper and the other bed linen, basically the same dress! Now we know why Jeffery was so bent on getting Keith out of the competition, so he could just re-use his winning design ideas.
Also, since Allison's design made her chubby model look chubby, what about Jeffery's design making his "petiter than the other models" model look short with that Trompe l'oeil belt painted on it.
I guess Heidi didn't have the heart to insult both chubby and short women in the same episode.--Oops, did I write that!
In the three season's of watching PR, I don't think I ever cried over an elimination of a designer (well, came close with Nick last season), but loosing Alison and the way they "out'd" hurt my soul and was just plain sad . I guess the producers figure they have to have at least one, so Alison is this season's Nick, Daniel F, or Austin. They could have warned us like they did last season with Nick!
Uli and Michael are now the only sweet, non-confrontational ones left (perhaps Robert, but he's had his moments too with Kayne) so I guess all we have to look forward to now are some major fur-flying (
-itch&astard fests.
Why did they give Kayne a slide on his design based on his past designs and Robert two weeks in a row and not Alison. Granted her design was not very flattering to her model, but even more-so unflattering and totally ridiculous was Vincents. She has designed some very remarkable outfits and pulled practically the whole garmet together for the INC challenge in which she and Jeffery almost won, plus she almost won and probably should have won the Best Friend challenge. What has Vincent designed but pure garbage, and even though his garmet for this challenge was made from garbage, that's exactly what it looked like--pure TRASH!
Somehow I get the feeling the producers of PR and Bravo don't want to be responsible for sending him (Vincent) to the rubber room.
Alas, when it got down to the final two, I knew it was Alison that was out because we haven't yet seen the challenge in which Vincent has his breakdown on the runway and yells, "You have to Go!--NOW"

Heidi, must have lost her damn mind for kicking Allison off the show! How could she A) make her ignorant FAT comment and then say that the model looked huge! Huge was the wrong word to use in this case, we were watching it on TV and she didn't look HUGE or like a Plus size model. Actually that would be a good challenge...you might want to try it.....

Natalicious
P.s. I did send and email to Bravotv.com also about this ignorant, insensitive broad!
I have a feeling that is what they are going to do next week in designing fashion for the everyday woman. The everyday woman is not a single-digit dress size, so I would say, and by the silhouette of the person coming on the runway to introduce the challenge to the designers, the challenge must be to design a garment flattering to the average-to fuller figured (plus-size in Heidi's mind) woman.
This type of challenge has been suggested many, many times over on these boards and to Tim the past two seasons, so perhaps they finally caught on to the idea--very fresh and novel of them, wouldn't you say?

What a motherf#@%ing rip off…….no way was Michael design better the Jeff ‘s this show is starting to be a bore and a disappointment……and what the hell was up with Kayne was it that time of the month for him or what …Laura was out of line for venting her frustrations on the absentminded professor , Vincent, yeah his work was bad but that wasn’t his fault…. I don’t think any of his designs have been any good, I think the only reason the judges are keeping Vincent is because of his old school way of thinking….hell I don’t know I give up on why he is still there….did I see right was Heidi wearing one of Angela’s designs I’m referring to that hideous outfit she was wearing and that the comment she made about plus model, big mini mouse, was absolutely wrong….I’m not a big girl but I have some home training not to say things like..

I was disappointed in the outcome. Although I personally thought Alison's outfit looked quite horrible -- it was interesting to me that Gunn found it a winner.
It is indeed interesting that the question of proportions lost to questions of taste. Alison was said to have abused the female form by failing to accentuate it. This seems to be indeed the correct judgement.
Because the whole point of fashion is to create balanced proportions. I don't think Heidi was complaining that the model looked plus-size per se, but rather the clothes should balance and flatter the figure with added proportionality where it's found lacking.
There's no mythology or political offense here, it's just basic common sense. Ultimately even colors and patterns accentuate and flatter the proportions; but they are secondary to cut.
Having said that -- Alison is extremely talented and Vincent is extremely looney. I feel bad for his model.
Oh yea -- and -- Michael won, but I felt for Jeffrey. He rocked it. The guy is so obnoxious, he should win at least once because his talent does occasionally match his mouth.

Perhaps rebellious was the wrong word. But Jay did the things you mentioned AFTER the competition. Throughout the actual competition he just went about his own brilliant work and let the show take care of itself; which, if you remember last season, rings true when he told one of the contestants, "Don't play each other; play the production!" I was just casting personality types for TV in my scenario, and for that scenario Jay WAS the up and comer "out-there" designer who came out of nowhere to win, and not the Santino-ish/Jeff-ish loud mouth who thinks their over-the-topness will win it for them. And I pick Jeffery for this season not necessarily because he's my favorite (Uli is!), but because I think that's who they'll pick.

kayne's dress was worse than alison's. i'm not saying he should have gone -- vincent should have -- but alison's wasn't the worst dress by far. out of the bottom three, hers was actually the *least* pathetic!
i also think laura's dress sucked. the top was *totally* unflattering, the "joke" was only an inside joke at best, and that flower thing on the side was costumey and fugly. even angela's granny circle things are more appealing than laura's flower.
heidi klum is a brainless airhead. 
I agree with everything, especially about Heidi. She's lucky to be reaping the rewards off the backs/talents of these designers b/c if it was just up to her and Nina Garcia, the show would be auf'd. I mean, watching too much of both of them could make you puke out an award losing dress.
Kayne's dress was the worst and he said so himself. I like Kayne tho, he goofed this time and should still be on, but so should Allison.
All my favorite artists are going: Malan, Keith, Allison. I can understand that Keith got the boot, but I liked his garments. Now I root for Michael. I am surprised how much Uli has won me over. I didn't much care for her outfits at first, but I am beginning to see her gift. Kayne is another favorite. I'm hoping to see more from Jeffery.
Vincent is artsy and he does interest me for that reason, but so far, he hasn't really shown the kind of talent that Allison showed.
In the end. I was hoping Robert would be the one to go, if only b/c his last two designs were so awful. He's been lucky but at some point, his luck shouldn't be what carries him. I like him tho, he's nice. But his, I think he put it, "trashy cocktail dress" was exactly that. I didn't see the art in it except... he used recyclable trash to make a dress that not many would wear. Allison's dress would have looked pretty chic on a thinner model, for sure.
PS: and yes, tho I am happy Kayne is still in, I think Michael Kors gave him some extra points b/c Kor's is gay.
No, really.

I'm cracking up here. I, too, am PO'd about the outcome of tonight's episode; but we are all acting like we are wrestling fans who were just told that wrestling is fake. Of course this show is rigged ... it just was not as obvious as it was tonight.
I just read Tim's Take & he wonders why Vincent is still in. I wonder what this does to the reputation of Tim & his school?
Oh, and Nina said that Alison's dress showed "no innovation", but said that Laura's plain, white dress did. Hmmmmm.
Jeff should have won & Angela should have been out. I was going to say Vincent, but in my world, he's already "voted off the runway".

Bah, I have to disagree there... I don't know where she gets off thinking she's such hot stuff... I go to college with plenty of girls who are prettier than she is... and not nearly as rude and annoying.
This was my first season watching the show, but they have lost my viewership... First they kick of a talented girl who had a bad week, in favor of a man who has yet to make anything decent... that's bad enough. Heidi's apparent issues (the lady doth protest too much, me thinks) and general all around annoying presence, have pushed it over the top, however. Not sure why people would want to spend their time watching a cold, vein biatch on TV... seems like there are plenty of those out in the real world that take up too much of our time already!

I've been a ball of emotions after watching this episode, was totally pissed that Alison was off and was trying to validate the show somehow since I've loved it for the past two years, until tonight that is. Luckily listening to Tim's pod cast gave me some closure on the whole fiasco as he expressed his feelings about the decision and I found them to be very close to my own. As long as Tim Gunn remains with the show I'll still have to tune in because the man is a god in my opinion.
Tim also went into detail about why Laura had gone off on Vincent, and cleansed the image of this crazy broad that snaps every so often, which was what came across due to the way the show was edited.
I don't really understand why they would edit it that way though, sure it's good television but I look at it more as defamation, unless I'm wrong about what I heard in Tim's pod cast.

Although Laura lives in NYC now, she is a Southerner. As a Southerner and a mother myself, I "get" her and absolutely love her.
I loved the typically Southern bitchiness in the exchange between Laura and Kayne tonight. Not a voice was raised, but both made their points -- Kayne's response of course, by his own admission, was on the lower end of Southern culture. But immensely entertaining nonetheless!

A lot of you seem very confused...
if this were a popularity contest alone Allison would still be here, but the fact is she had the bad luck to run into a very challenging project, which is exactly what the designers were told it would be by HK beforehand.
Kayne and Allison both ran out of time when their original concepts didn't pan out (Kayne on design and Allison on material). In the end Kayne got lucky, his design had good execution but very little overall vision. He winged it and it showed.
Allison was going for something much more avant garde, she just couldn't pull off with the time or materiel and because the entire package (no pun intended) in the end was such a visual mishmash she suffered.
Which brings me to Vincent. He started with a clear vision ("trash" materials transformed into art) and defended that all the way through the process. If you listened closely it wasn't that vision that most bothered the judges it was the execution, according to at least one if the dress had been shorter it would have worked much better. I wish more of you would look closer at what he was attempting to do, it is visually striking with line and texture and spend a little less time on his personality.
If I read Tim correctly (from the show and his blog) Kayne at least listened to his concerns about the overall design and that he felt that Allison's was assymetrical and avant garde but never was able to address Tim's concern about fit.
I happen to think he was right, but I think it was a disservice for him to then dismiss Vincent for being innovative but strong willed when it came to defending HIS concept, especially when he executed it better than Kayne or Allison did in the end.

I agree completely. Vincent's dress looked like...garbage. And how come he didn't make a TIN FOIL HAT to go with it?
Alison's dress was not good, but some consideration ought to be given to the fact that she has done pretty well so far--never in that "lowest of the low-but-just-barely-missed-getting-auf'd" category where Vincent lives every week. Alison's dress as worn by her model looked like a vanilla cupcake more than a paper brioche.
Vincent is irritating and doesn't belong on the show. He's not a serious professional designer.

There have been a lot of people on this board giving Heidi a lot of flack for her fat comment. I feel it is being misinterpreted...she meant that the outfit Alison made for the show would make any woman who wore the outfit look fat. Not that the model was fat. Tim made the comment about Alison's model being bigger than the other models. And I will agree with him on that. She is probably thinner than me but by industry standards she is bigger than most other models.
I was upset when I first watched the show because I love Alison so much. I will agree with the judging though. Although her outfit was much better than Vincent's by far, she failed to support her vision. Vincent defended that piece of trash *no pun intended* like someone else I remember cough Santino cough and the judges and production bought into it.
Laura needs to stop wearing those low plunging neck lines. They do not compliment her figure.
Last I would like to say I hope Angela leaves soon. I am so sick of seeing those skirts she wears that look like puffy valances.

Do the judges even take previous competitions in consideration when they make a decision? Alison did great repeatedly, but Vincent has done terribly just as often. One mistake and she's out?? Do they remember his stupid hat with chains? He was "turned on" by that piece of garbage? That's just slightly worse than Jeffrey losing. I love Michael's work, but Jeffrey had it.

I can't believe this!! I can't believe Alison is gone. This is the poorest decision the judges have made in the 3 seasons it has been on the air. I don't care if you are "top American designer" or not. Not only does it hurt to see Alison, who is truly talented, eliminated, but it's completely outrageous that they chose Vincent and his, once again, ugly dress over her!!!! I think I can speak for the majority when I say that Vincent's clothes are fugly. I wouldn't wear his clothes even if he paid me to. Sure it's swell that he pushes the boundaries fearlessly and blah blah blah, but Alison actually makes aesthetically pleasing designs with modern flair. (Not to mention she is the cutest thing!)
Seriously...

Kain's dress was more tasteful than the judges decision lol.

1) She was the prettiest thing on the show (even more so than many of the models) with the acception of the obvious Hiedi thing
2) Every time they showed the designers at home in the morning they showed her in her leopard print cami thing she slept in...

though i will be the first to say that when outfits accentuate the female form they are more pleasing to me, a lot of people see fashion as an art. I think it's just the common consensus that it looks better, I am not saying I disagree, but I don't think there should be rigid rules that say if you stray from that it's irrelevant. A lot of designers pride themselves on making their model's look straight and flat.
I guess that was kind of long winded seeing that i thought alison's dress was awful, but overall she is a far better designer than Vincent.

AMEN. This was a stupid challenge, much more idiotic even than the nursery challenge where everything had to be made from plant materials. I like to see clothes that actually are wearable. Last night's episode was aggravating, both in terms of the challenge itself and the outcome.
I wondered if they'd rushed production and the product wouldn't be as good as seasons one and two. Stupid challenge, stupid judging, stupid argument in the designers' lounge, stupid...there seems to be a motif here...and it's not good. Did they jump the shark? Next week will tell, I guess.

I was so upset over last nights show. Vincent stinks as a designer. What in the world were the judges thinking! Vincent designs are not innovative. If you gave Vincent a garbage bag to work with he'd mess that up too. He's not all there in the head. Allison has real talent, those judges were wrong, very wrong. They made the biggest mistake you could ever make on this show. Poor judgment, big time.

On Tim's podcast, he talks about Alison going/Vincent staying (he clearly can't stand Vincent) and he talk about the backstage issue between Vincent/Laura.
Also interesting are the extra footage videos. In one of them Laura is talking to Jeffrey about his dress and she's praising it! And Jeffrey is having an actual conversation with her. Like exchanging tips and all! :-O
As for today's show. I have to keep reminding myself that what we see is not how they see (live on the runway), but doesn't make any sense that they argue that Kayne should stay because of past garments (history) and yet Alisson(consistent) goes instead of Vince (well...crap.). Contradictory much?

I had a similar reaction when I watched Top Chef. I was so outraged when Tiffani was chosen over Dave, I thought I'd never watch the show again. I was fuming. Then, as the week wore on, well . . . I just couldn't help myself. There I was again, watching the show. Thank goodness Harold won.
I watched the TC marathon yesterday, and it still shocks me that Tom C said the judging was close between Tiffani and Harold. The way the show was edited, it looked as though Harold would win in a walk.
But back to PR. I do think Vincent should have been sent home and I think Jeffrey should have won. But I wasn't a huge fan of Alison's, and that's probably why I'm not ready to boycott.

If Kayne doesn't want to be treated that way on-camera then maybe he should shut his mouth about other designers. He can dish it out but he can't take it. What a wimp.

Total disappointment. If the show is going to keep people who make crappy outfits for the sake of good tv, then why bother even pretending the show is about talent? If the show is really about ability to design great fashion, Kayne, Robert, and certainly Vincent would be gone.
Uh, Heidi, before you open your mouth, try to notice that the model is an amazon.
The next challenge is about designing for a real woman. If its not a pageant dress, Kayne is screwed. Has anyone noticed that each of his designs is some form of pageant dress?
Tattoo-boy sucks.
LOVE LAURA!!! Go MICHAEL!!

Laura may be a [expletive deleted], but she's not the only [expletive deleted] on that show. Let's not forget Kayne whispering to Vincent that Keith had design books, then Robert suggesting the inform the shows producers and ratting him out like a bunch of little girls. At least Laura says what she has to say to your face.

Can't believe she is gone! They must feel, as I do, that Vincent is headed towards a total mental breakdown, and want to catch it on film.
And, if the producers are waiting for Vincent to crack up on camera, isn't that truly sick? Memo to PR producers: We're watching for the fashion, NOT the wack jobs

Bye Project Runway. I have been a loyal watcher but this season has been absurd. Vincent should have been out week after week. Yet, instead, designers with style, potential, and passion are offed. If you read the little disclaimer at the end of the show it says that the producers have the final say in who is out. Why do the producers want to keep vincent around? Is he hired by the show, a mole, do they think he makes ratings? I have news for them he doesn't bring ratings. In fact he loses loyal watchers. I am done with the show. Time to boycott! Malan should still be there, I was upset there, almost quit watching there. Now alison? thats ridiculous! She should still be there too. Adios, Runway. I'm Out.

I'v signed up b/c just had to voice my frustration over alison getting the boot. I don't even want to watch any more. They don't base their decisions on talent but what will make for good TV. If they are going for integrity like Tim said they are sorely missing the point. Why are all the girls getting auf'd? And why weren't the lowest three ALISON, Vincent and Kayne? Auf Vincent already he's creepy and I would NEVER wear any of his fashions 'cuz they're crap........ Bad call Project Runway, bad call.

I totally agree that Jeffrey should have won the challenge. However, at least to me, part of the reason someone wins is their personality. Now I don't know how much of a glimpse the judges get of the contestants personality, but Jeffrey, in my humble opinion, is egotistical beyond belief and an all-around
rude and unpleasant person. Where does he get off? Who the h--- does he think he is? Does he seriously believe that every other contestant cannot hold a candle to him? He ALWAYS has something ignorant to say about other people's designs. He NEVER steps back and looks objectively at his own creations. His designs are always the best, everyone else's creation is crap, and he has no problem with saying this on camera with his face all twisted up like he has a serious constipation problem. He is a very, very distasteful person. Every other contestant at least has a sense of humor about themselves and their designs, but not Jeffrey. As Laura said,(who can be unpleasant herself, but at least is objective and has a sense of humor about herself), "If you are so f------ wonderful, what the hell are you doing here?" When he pulls that regular bit of his, surveying the room and saying how the other designers outfits are crap, I want to grab him around his tattooed neck, haul him to the nearest kindergarten class, plunk him down in the first row, and tell him it is about time he learned something about humbleness, good manners, and how to get along with the other little "kids." He SERIOUSLY needs to be put in his place, and I thank Laura for attempting to do it, albeit rudely. I hate saying this about anyone, anywhere or anytime, but his personality is loathsome and unless he can offer me proof that he was perhaps Alexander McQueen in a former life, then he should shut his mouth about others and take a long hard look at himself.

Actually, I would watch for just the fashions, but the wackjobs can also be entertaining. Hopefully a fist fight will break out in the next few episodes.
