I think Kara and Jay made their sweaters and i could see the hand stitching on the pockets of Kara's front - she actually made like 3 or 4 pieces for her set (including the belt)that is why Jay was making jokes about her speediness...I saw them working on them at their area - i guess they bought that pre-knit sweater stuff which called for great planning, organizing and buying skill. i think this is what Robert lacked - he didn't like to preplan he liked to work as it hit him and just have stuff available that is why his designs "lacked direction" - on his banana republic dress for instance he didn't buy the right materials...truth be told, if Starr hadn't come up with that Jester's uniform, Robert would have been out then.
I just LOVE Austin, his designs and personality. What a package. He is so creative and has great vision. Austin is very mature for his age. I really believe he will go far in the industry. I will miss seeing Austin when the show is over. Clodia, be sure to tell Austin he has a HUGE fan in Ohio!!! ps I am a married mother 40something mother of three adult children....just in case anyone was wondering...I would be so proud of Austin if he were my son...psss I got my screen name from Gone With The Wind..but what a coincident it is also Austin's last name
Very few women don't have a little "saddlebag" problem -- side pleats, Wendy? SIDE PLEATS?
They did show her in a fairly loathsome light last night, though I still stand by my position that violent "jokes" at her expense are repulsive.
This episode had a little too much drama, for my taste, though I must say I loved hearing more of Jay's zingers than usual. He said so many funny things last night, starting with:
-the speculation that the challenge inside the brown paper packages was an infant that must be raised to adulthood! That's my favorite line of the whole show.
-the bit about how Kara Saun always has enough time to make a wonderful outfit, plus adopt a family of seven.
-how Austin never seems to be working, but suddenly has a dress that he seems to have pulled out of his ass.
-I even laughed at the "cockroach" comment, though I think it has a lot more credibility coming from him, who actually knows Wendy, than if it had come from a viewer.

Can I apply to join the mini-fan club? I thought his design looked very versatile, it might work in the summer in my opinion.

I'll wrap up (finally!) by saying I have a lot of respect for all of these people. Having done this in a former life, I know how hard it is to keep it fresh, put your own stamp on things and even drape, sew and finish the garments! And with a strict budget and no time! They are all to be commended.
I agree! I'm not sure how I'd do with such tight time- constraints and all that drama (though I'd kill myself trying - Bravo, don't count me out!).
Yes I looove Austin too! And I adored seeing him on the runway!! He is so beautiful and I have a crush on him! I'm a heterosexual married female btw. This is what people want to see -- imagination, fantasy, costumes, another world. People don't want to see a real 40 yr old mother who cares about the competition a lot but who has no style and could never make it as a real designer... Why do we watch TV anyway? Why do we care about beautiful celebrities? I will be so crushed and disappointed to see Austin go.
If you were asking about Jay's line to KaraSaun, it was something about him pretending to quote Kara, saying, more or less : "I finished my latest design so far ahead of schedule that I took a pair of curtains and made clothes for a family of thirteen!" Definitely not said wtih malice.Quite the contrary, I think he genuinely likes her style. It plays off of his so perfectly.
I'm not sure Tim should have pulled Wendy aside to give her one-on-one advice and counsel . . . however, when the director of Parsons takes a personal interest in helping you, try to show a little gratitude . . . and take it as a compliment that he thinks you're capable of more than you've demonstrated . . . Wendy, you're such an ungrateful witch!
I would love some one-on-one feedback with Tim on my designs.

I agree. If the final three are Kara, Jay and Austin, a collection plate should be passed around for donations for their future houses of couture for those two designers that do not receive the first place cash prize. Maybe even some public stock into their company would be fun. The publicity from this show for advertising and marketing makes their name on their way. These three designers are all winners already.
I bet the surprise elimination will be Austin. Let's face it, he has the biggest fan base on this board and therefore it would be a shock for the majority of the posters. However, in "reality", he stands as much of a chance to ultimately beat out Jay or Kara in the finals as does Wendy. So, Bravo will more than likely keep Wendy as she will create more friction in the final episodes and leave you guys talking like crazy, further hyping the event. True TV is not going to have a show without a villan... after all I have seen it said many times, she is like the wicked witch. Kara can be Dorthy and Jay can be the Scarecrow.

I re-watched my tape of episode 7 and noticed Kevin was trying to hold back tears when Heidi announced he was out. What Wendy did to him was incredibly hurtful and I find it annoying she had the gall to go on camera afterwards and sob about how everyone looked like they were one happy, cohesive group while she was somewhere in outer space. She accomplished her objective of getting Kevin kicked off, so what was there to weep about?
I was holding back tears right there with him. Wendy is so heartless.
Me too...cuz it was just soooooooooo nasty and its amazing how one can tag nasty to a word but see nasty in action and call it something else. what wendy did was vicious and an act of someone who had no skills to fall back on but that's how we're supposed to feel about her - afterall she is on the show. I'm not so sure we're supposed to have such nasty feelings towards each other as posters on a message board though...just for speaking one's mind ABOUT THE SHOW. I'm somewhat perplexed about that. I think "the show" as unlikely as it should be (considering these people are not on the show), has become personal for some and this is the last time I'll address it. DISCLAIMER: In regards to THE SHOW, I'll say what I want as in line with my opinion and it is not subject to the discretion or authority of anyone other than the board mod.

Interesting observation: Reminds me of the soap "Ryan's Hope" - - I saw the first ep - it was about a poor working class family - - it was supposed to be different - - but before long the poor mom married a rich man - - and the glamor began.
Like you said - - we want fantasy!
I know and love Wendy as a person and designer, she is so kind and giving. As you know this show is for entertainment and to get ratings, if they didn’t show someone as the outsider (bad guy) how much entertainment would this show really be? Wendy is a great designer. Wouldn’t it be interesting to see how you would be portrayed on a show, and then feel like you had to defend yourself at every turn? She is also a great mom and loves her daughter very much to see her hurting like that on the show was awful. To have someone like Wendy who would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it shown in this light is wrong.
I agree with you and the other women who liked Austin and all his designs. I am a 34 year old, stay home mother of three and I fantasize that Austin is some long lost brother of mine! He has true heart and it makes me so mad and sad to hear what he said in the first show about how hard he tried to be "normal" in high school and it was still torture. (Plus, a few people that knew him then have posted about how badly he was treated.) I love his theatrics and his over the top design. I don't want to see the same old sh!t I can get at the mall, or Banana! Let me get a glimpse into his world - in the fashion world, somewhere, anywhere that is not Iowa!! HAHA! I admire him for being true to himself (Jay too) - for sticking themselves out there and following a dream, not some cookie cutter pattern! BTW - I about died laughing when Jay told him he looked more butch than he had ever seen him look in Jays postal design and when Jay said he was glad he didn't come down the runway looking like a drag queen. Austin is beautiful, my god - more pretty than most women I know - he would not look like a drag queen, a beauty queen, maybe - but not a drag queen.
I too would be crushed if anyone but Wendy's tired old irritating ass was OUT next week. I LOVE Jay and Kara too - would join there fan club definately!

I agree with much of what you said. Wendy is not a good designer. I imagine many people pulled out their hair for the past....what is it now...3 episodes?--when we had to watch Alexandra, Kevin, and Robert go over her. What makes the show exciting is the quality of work! There was nothing designerly about Wendy's postal service uniform. At least Robert tried--his had a style, though perhaps not his best nor with great functionality. But Robert has something there, some creative spirit and an ambition that makes some of his designs stand out.
You're right, Robert has had some 'homeruns' on the Runway--What memorable outfit has Wendy created besides her BR design? (And I think many people agree, while it was a beautiful dress, there where other designs--Jay's, Kara's, Austin's, Nora's--that could easily have edged that design out, depending on who was doing the judging and on their design aesthetic.) I did feel bad that someone drew on Wendy's photograph of her daughter--I don't think it was Kevin, as he just doesn't seem that sort. But the point is the show has become more and more about drama rather than style and conceptualization and morphing all of that into wearable, pleasing, successful designs.
However...I absolutely loved that Austin modeled for Jay last week. It makes me love Austin even more--seriously, I couldn't think of a more perfect substitute and his runway walk was very good! And I also like VERY much that his designs are a little out there--he truly is an artist above all with far too much unique spirit to gray down his designs for a 'regular' world. Sadly now, I don't think Austin will win this show--I only say this because Kara Saun seems to be the golden child who consistently wins and Jay the unsung hero who could pull off a victory in the last episode. (Not that I would be displeased with either of them winning--they're both incredibly interesting designers.) It just makes me a little sad when Austin gets bashed for going 'out there' too much. Who hasn't seen designs on the runway that are too 'out there' for everyday wear? Austin's designing for the runway--the real world comes later, in my opinion. It's much more fun and interesting to watch someone push an idea over the edge with great technical skill and vision--to really see some thought behind the works. Austin, Jay, and Kara all have that.
I do like Kara...I am amazed how much she gets done in the course of a challenge! She is interesting....yet I just prefer the edgier Jay and Austin, for my tastes. I wish Kara all the best and I would definitely buy pieces from her. But I think that it's easier to critisize Austin and Jay because they take a few more risks than her. Wendy doesn't take risks....she just isn't that...great. I think Jay, Kara, and Austin all deserve to be where they are. Their designs, talent, charisma, and personalities (very important!) have gotten them as far as they are. For all of his flair, I don't think Austin causes a lot of drama--he just wants to do a good job. Same with Jay--he'll make you laugh each week and he'll say exactly what he wants and thinks, but he won't sabotage another designers work. He'll only work to make his better.
Sorry I wrote so much but for some reason this show obsesses me! (22 year old art/theater major....maybe that's why...
I just really appreciate all forms of creation and I cannot WAIT to see what the top three (Austin, Jay, and Kara--if this world and Bravo has any deceny/sense left in it!!!) will whip up. *Sigh....can't wait!

I didn't see how Jay had to fit his design onto Austin. Since a lot of models are rail thin and have few womanly curves, Austin makes sense. It's hard to think that the producers shooed away a potential candidate from the street AND made Rob fail to get a model, too. So I don't know that they conspired to make Austin a model.

Last night's episode had me laughing out loud. Jay is so witty and hilarious, as well as talented. I love his personality. I love watching Jay and Austin. KUDOS to Austin for stepping up and helping Jay, that shows so much about your personality. I am sure everyone watching just loved it. Kara is great. Robert's interactions with Jay and Austin also made me laugh. The show sure shows Wendy in a bad light..., but I have to say I was disappointed she didn't get booted last night but then again Wendy is the controversial one on the show. Too bad, Robert, Jay, Austin and Karasun don't get together and have a reality show of their own....I would be a majorly huge fan of the show...
Sadly - - I can see Austin being eliminated.
NOT - that he isn't a great designer - - he just doesn't fit Banana Republic - who's designs are rather functional and boring.
Saying that - - - I say Wendy fits their criteria better (design - not personality and emotions)
Jay is my favorite - - I have a local "sampled" clothing store where I do deconstruct fashion designs.
Austin is my second fave - - because of his fantasy visions.
Kara - she's a far better designer then Wendy - but she still fits into that "functionality" criteria.
Would not surprise me if Kara won - - because she designs closer to what Banana Rep is.

I would actually prefer it if this show had less drama, and thus no Wendy. The reason that I love this show is because I get to see (mostly) friendly designers and fun clothes; I enjoy it the most when I get to see the designers helping each other out. One of my favorite moments was when Kara Saun helped Robert to convince Martinique to like the expensive lace. So, no, I don't need Wendy to make this show entertaining, thanks.

If you were walking down the street and some guy came up and asked, "Would you like to do some modeling for me?", would you be thinking "Sure! sounds like fun!" or "Where's my pepper spray?"?
I agree. I do not watch Survivor. I am not interested in backstabbing and such and I do not watch this show to see her whine and "play" people. Most of us get enough of that in our own lives. We'd rather see the creativity and the clothes (and maybe Rob's behind...lol).
lk
lk
The only reason I would want pepper spray is to get Wendy off the show. It's New York, things like that are commonplace there.
I'm all for that....let's see Rob's behind again.
Something just occurred to me -- Wendy, unfortunately, won the Banana Republic challenge. As they are funding the show -- maybe this has something to do with why she is being kept on? Yes, there is the drama, but there is also the fact that her design is going to be produced and sold in select stores. Maybe they need her name out there more so that people might actually buy the dress, though in my opinion it would have been better if she had left several episodes ago... she would have seemed more like an underdog and more sympathetic... It was just dumb luck that her design was simple enough to possibly appeal to the masses. I personally would have been thrilled if Jay's dress was sold and we could have a chance to wear one of his or any of the other designer's designs.
It depends. It's NYC. There are a lot of starving actresses and grad students. Parsons is in lower Manhattan. I think it's not far from NYU. I went there once a long time ago to visit someone I knew who was accepted there because he was a painter. I was in NYC to interview for a scholarship at NYU and walked to Parsons, so it's doable at least. If I were 18 (time machine anyone?), I could see Jay asking me. I wore a junior miss size 5 in those days and had a 23 1/4" waist. But he'd have to hem big time, since I'm only 5'4." Of course, someone would have to have some time on their hands, too. Perhaps a bigger hassle was the fact that it was summer and there wasn't enough students in the area.
lk
lk
I gotta find a way to see that episode again and watch for it. Is it in the beginning of the show or when? I missed it yesterday because I didn't watch the whole thing.
lk
lk
Good point. It does help them. I hope that doesn't mean she gets in. A whole collection of cat spit? Eeeek!

BUT, I really believe the show is becoming very contrived. Jay's model cannot make it to the Runway and OH, how convenient that Austin is the exact size and shape and fits into the outfit beautifully. COME ON!! I think they think of these things ahead of time - what would add a little spice to the show. Most people LOVE Austin and you know the boy loves the spotlight - what better way to feed his ego a little bit and keep the viewers happy than for him to model an outfit ON THE RUNWAY. He was in his glory!! He wouldn't have said no for the world.
Oh please! This is an "if you can't get him one way, go after him another way" statement. People were proven wrong when they said he was trying to eliminate competitors - he proves them wrong by standing in for one of their models and he gets flack for it? Keep trying but nobody's buying. He could do runway, has done runway, was there, and did it for his fellow designer out of the goodness of his heart. High props to Robert too who worked hard to try to find a substitute model!

As for taking things too seriously, perhaps I am at a point in my life where I don't find violence of any kind to be funny. Maybe that does make me emotionally immature. But I seem to recall laughing more at things like people falling down stairs and being kicked in the groin when I was younger.
yes yes, making jokes about people is definitely "violence."
and we should all bow to those who have superior sensibilities and knowledge.
i seem to recall similar arguments in mein kampf.

I just browsed over Wendy's Q & A bit, and saw that she states Valentineo, Chanel, Dior, and Yves Saint Laurent as her design influences...huh??? And she states that she reads all of these fashion mags as well. But looking at her private designs, which look like badly coordinated table cloths sewn into a dress, I find that a stretch! I think she is influenced more by the Sears "Huskie" line and the old Zayre and Venture designers....sorry, but she just infuriates me so!
LOL!!
last night, when Tim was talking about Wendy's "broad audience," i didn't even think about the husky line.
but actually, when he was saying that, all I could think about was Wal-Mart. i'm sure millions of people buy their clothes there...............
Quote:
I can't believe I missed a naked Robert...darn.
So right about Austin. And he was so cute in the outfit. He did work it. That musta been heart attack city for Jay; I'm glad they made it work. Even if Wendy had a figure for modelling, I can't see she'd do something like that for anyone, whereas I could see Alexandra or even Starr willing to help a competitor. It's a "do unto others" thing. You win or lose on designs, not machinations. Hear that, Bravo?

you should definitely try to catch the episode again.
it was very revealing.
i don't think anybody who saw it can possibly continue to believe that wendy is just a nice lady who is being portrayed as nasty by careful editing..............

I'm not a "Wendy fan" but that was foul of someone to deface the picture of her daughter. Her daughter had nothing to do with anything and should not have been 'brought into it.' Based on the way the show ended last week with Kevin upset at her chewing him out on the Runway and him going back into the workroom to clear out his space and him writing messages on the work stations of the others (Jay), he was probably the culprit. He certainly wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer to let a Psycho model wear his design out in public and tear it to shreds (knowing her history), but writing on someone's child's picture is totally uncalled even for a doofus like him.
It's so evident that she did that herself for the pity factor! Anybody who is a parent out there, where do you keep your special pictures of your children when you are away from home and carrying them with you? Right, someplace safe! You carry them either in a wallet or purse - something you keep close to you. You don't throw it out on some table and leave it there in a place that is not home...common sense! And as for the "there's not copy, there's no negatives" lie, double prints are a dime a dozen and they ALWAYS provide negatives! Digital you say? Then it's on a floppy or cd. She's a liar - straight up - and she's working the pity factor because she knows she screwed up with the rest of the designers.
Is there a chance Wendy is actually talking on a headset phone in this photo ( http://www.bravotv.com/Project_Runway/Episode_8/
Scrapbook/Pic_16.shtml#rw_top ) or is she truly as mentally unbalanced as this show portrays her?

The only challenge he won was really based on his personality, not his swimsuit.
Correction: Austin has won two challenges; the first one and the bathing suit one. Wendy has won one, Kara won all the rest.
i caught a glimpse of wendy's designs on her web page and they look more like something you would find outta fredricks of hollywood. there doesn't seem to be a completed article clothing in the whole set. i'm wondering how much demographics played in her getting a spot on the show? i'm not a big fan of many of the designers but wendys fashions consistently place her in my "Not Good Enough For Goodwill" catagory.

To have someone like Wendy who would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it shown in this light is wrong.
She'd probably only be taking it off to wrap it around your neck...watch your back.
Does anyone have AOL Instant Messenger so we can talk about the show on AOL? My sn is pacey1800. Maybe we could put together a chat room about Project Runway, I thought Kara Saun's post office design was good too, Austin has a very unique vision, in my opinion somewhat relating to the competition but uniquely his own, his post office design seemed very versatile for any season, but I was again hoping for Wendy to get eliminated, her post office uniform just didn't seem very original to me and it looked almost exactly like the current one.
The next stunt Wendy pulls might well get her into the final three. This show is, of course, about a fashion competition but it's just as much about drama. And Wendy is the only one left that is providing that element. Kinda sad, but true.
I think the most talented are Jay and Kara. Austin is good. His corn husk dress was awesome. And his swimsuit was lovely. I don't understand how Wendy made it this far. Esp. when Nora and to some degree Kevin where far more better.
I had a feeling after I first saw the preview for this that one of the designers would end up ing. I kinda would've prefered Austin do his runway walk to Rupaul's "Supermodel".
You know this might sound weird, but Austins mail carrier outfit looked kind of...perverted. Not the outfit itself, but Austin in the outfit...maybe it's just me.
Wendy was extra annoying this week. Really why is she like "Okay, I know what I'm doing is evil and I'm exploiting people's weaknesses, but it's all part of the game, but oh my god! why did do that to my daughters picture, why are you being so evil, what did I ever do to you!"
I could tell the judges really wanted her this week, but had to go with Robert instead because he really shouldn't have been there. But Wendy shouldn't be there either which I think why I'm kind of worried about all the Wendy is in the top 3 rumors. I think she'll be out if Nina and Michael are judging next week, but I think if there are differnet judges maybe not. I think her possible elimination next week will be like Starr's, where she will probably make a better dress than someone, but will be out anyway because she's been consistently worse than them. I trust that the judges know who needs to go whether they make the worst outfit or not.
You know this might sound weird, but Austins mail carrier outfit looked kind of...perverted. Not the outfit itself, but Austin in the outfit...maybe it's just me.
Wendy was extra annoying this week. Really why is she like "Okay, I know what I'm doing is evil and I'm exploiting people's weaknesses, but it's all part of the game, but oh my god! why did do that to my daughters picture, why are you being so evil, what did I ever do to you!"
I could tell the judges really wanted her this week, but had to go with Robert instead because he really shouldn't have been there. But Wendy shouldn't be there either which I think why I'm kind of worried about all the Wendy is in the top 3 rumors. I think she'll be out if Nina and Michael are judging next week, but I think if there are differnet judges maybe not.

Wendy should not be in the top three. She should not even be in the top 5.
ummm, i wouldn't put myself in that position....but she did! the camera can only do so much damage - even if some of that stuff was taken out of context she would still appear to be a cut-throat kind of person. that's my perception. people have different sides, you may just know that side of her but the people she is on that show with definitely see her a different way as evidenced by the "people overload" on whatever side of the room she is NOT on. 4 other people directly entertwined with her are experiencing something very negative about her and that is a fact. you can't control how people who view the show think about her and this board is about those people on the show - not the people who are watching it and just talking about it so why do you want to make it about the posters? its not about us...focus people focus.....
I really dont think Wendy is a plant. I am sure BRAVO picked her to be on the show because she fit a certain demographic. As to why she is still on the show, I am not sure. There is a disclaimer at the end of the show that BRAVO producers have input in the voting process, so she may have been kept in for the "cruella factor". I see where the judging has kept her in. The Judges dont know she is the crab of the group. I find the Judges explain themselves fairly well as to why a designer is voted out. If you stick the judging on each challenge, and only on each challenge, I agree with all of the judges choices. I liked Kevins "out" outfit a lot but it really did not fit with the agreed upon "design theme". And while Alexandras creations were overall good, they never stood out. (I mean I just had to stop and think of her name for 2 minutes). Austin's wedding dress was horrendous(although I think it may have worked if was white or ivory instead of the mutli-color) but it still had the "over the top" quality all his degins have while Nora's dress looked nothing like her other work, part of that challenge was to stay true to your own style.
Thanks for adding that. They might accentuate her flaws but they sure aren't making 'em up. I agree!

Kara did not get credit for Kevin's win, so there is one you can't credit to her. Kara was on Jay's team.
