Don't mess with Sarah!: If aspiring pop tart Sarah Hudson - cousin of actress Kate Hudson - insists on comparing herself to rivals, maybe she should set the bar a little higher. "I'm the anti-Ashlee Simpson!" the 23-year-old Hudson told Lowdown at Tuesday night's party for Kevin Johnn's clothing line. "I'll out-sing and outperform her a-- right out of the water. I'm gonna start a revolution!"

It was hysterical. The sketch was last night, towards the end. It was based on the final 3. It began with Hilary Swank playing Heidi, spoofing the "you're either in or out". Then it had the cast playing Jay, Kara & Wendy. Rachel Dratch played Wendy and it was so funny, portraying her as the evil Survivor contestant, which she basically is. They had to desing a Col. Sanders uniform (as in KFC). They had someone play Austin also, playing up that he's only a gown designer.
Kind of hard to describe, need to see it again. We TiVO'd it, so we'll watch again, but I was LMAO. Really played up to the characters, pretty true to life. Also had someone play Michael Kors. Not sure who did each character.

< I don't consider myself a defender of Wendy - just someone a little further down the path of life who sees the outline of what she's up against (internally and externally) more clearly than the 20- and 30-somethings on and off the show. >
I tried the "quote" feature with the UBBCode but it didn't indent as it did for others. Can someone please explain how to use it? Thanks.
I'm past 40-something, so I agree with your comments. Like the columnist who put Austin's name in his column, I thought Wendy is 40-something. However, Wendy in her 30's, just two years older than Kara Saun (maybe 35 and 37; I forget the actual ages).
The only site for Wendy that I've found is via Bravo. I haven't seen inflammatory comments there that some others here are aware of, so maybe there's another site. If so, can someone please post the address?
At this point, I wouldn't put it past Wendy to have decided to adopt the role of "villian," since so many have foisted it on her anyway.
In the promo for the upcoming episode, Jay, standing next to Kara Saun, says, "We hate you!" In my own life, I've told some people to f*off and such, but I've never said, "I hate you!" to anyone.
I find it hard to believe that people nearing their 30's and beyond have said that outloud and meant it. It takes a lot of hatred to say that to someone's face. That level of hatred begins with the one who says it, not the one at whom it's directed.
I'll post this and see what else is going on in here.

So far, Wendy has impressed me the most as a human being. Of the last 5, she was the only one (except for maybe Rob) never to take seriously the silly group mentality/cliques that often arise when competing.
The others' complaints were always so hypocritical and petty. The comments they were willing to say on camera about Wendy revealed an ugly shallow side of both Jay and Kara especially. Their willingness to denigrate Wendy with such extreme rhetoric completely obliterated my respect for them.
Kara was drunk on praise and confused that for justification to preach about other's flaws. Jay revealed a narcissistic character and was ready to insult anyone who he deemed weak or at least unchosen to be in 'his clique'. These types always pray on condescension which always mask huge personal insecurities. Always.

Just proves if she had some b.s. about a woman's body being like a sports car she would still be in. Ughhh!

< Also, Wendy won the Grammy dress BY DEFAULT. Nancy Odell did not like it as it was. She changed it significantly before she wore it. >
By your standards, any other dress Nancy O'Dell chosen would have also been by "default" because she would have had to "tweak" all of them.
I've seen a picture of Wendy's dress at the Grammy's. It is not significantly changed. The straps are more narrow (bra-like) but the bustline and hemline of the top are just the same. The skirt looks very similar to the original, without the fuss (which I happened to like).
For those critics (the judges among them) who said, "No one wears all orange," guess what? Nancy wore all orange. She looks fabulous in the dress, and the dress is definitely Wendy's design, with very minor tweaking.

Jay did not say I hate you in the promo, he said everyone hates you. I'm over 40 and I hate Wendy! I'm suppose to want her to win just because she is in my age group! I have watched the shows from the beginning, and she is the one who said she would do anything to win no matter how underhanded it was. I would want to win on my talent and not by using tricks.

I'm watching the marathon and I'm surprised how much I'd forgotten or the little things I remembered incorrectly. Still, generally my views remain the same. My regard for Wendy is even more diminished because I see her as not only someone who operates in a negative mode but as a whiner as well. With Vanessa ". . . do you see me as unworthy . . . ?; "Austin and Kara Saun . . . golden children. . ." and her rants about her weakness in marketing. She's got more marketing background than most by virtue of her age and the years she's been in business. She just such a "poor me" kind of person. Also, her bashing of leaders still gets to me; especially since she was never required to show her leadership skills.
Seems we'll never agree on Wendy.
My biggest complaint is how many eliminations were the result of stupid little things: Vanessa dissing herself for her sewing skills; Alexandra's bathing-suit comment about being inspired by Michael Kors.
By the way, I think Wendy should have been eliminated at the bathing suit stage; she didn't design a bathing suit. Kevin's suit was great. It was a full-bodied suit using proper material and it was an original. The comments by the judges that it didn't look enough like a swimsuit didn't wash with me. Why does it have to look like a bathing suit? If it works as a bathing suit, it's a bathing suit! It is like their criticism of Austin's wedding dress because it didn't "look" like a wedding dress! It certainly didn't "look" like a party dress! Or a play suite! Or a business suit! If I were to guess what it was, I'd have guessed a wedding dress whether it was a conventional style or not! I'm annoyed!
Robert (I love him!) simply didn't meet expectations on any design. I love him because he is kind, supportive and good natured. He'd be a great PR man!
What reviews of FW I could find didn't seem to give Austin's designs much credit. However, if his collection was just a decoy collection, he probably didn't put his best efforts into it. Perhaps they weren't his work at all but one just credited to him to put us off.
Sort of wish Kara Saun and Jay could share the prize! I love them both! Hope I haven't rambled too much! E

I have a conflicting opinion. Wendy gets so pissed when people "play" on her. Like Kara making comments about her in front of her during the grammy challenge...she got so upset but she does the same behind their backs and thinks it is ok. talk about 2 faced. And i hate the looks on her face when the ohter designers are being cut down by the judges or when she is being complimented. She is such a horrible sport!

Who is the best designer? I don't know. They all do work I like at different times. It ALWAYS depends. Popularity, fitting in, following the accepted cliches and stroking the right egos will play as great a part in the final decision as will anything else. This is unsurprising with anything as fundamentally based on subjective judgements, money & power, and elitist mentalities as high fashion.
(Why is it that people who go out of the way to look different always look like other people who go out of the way to look different? It's always about conforming to a group in order to belong. Nothing wrong with that unless you delude yourself with the belief that your group is 'special' and 'more deserving' and 'superior' to all of the rest of the groups within the sea of humanity.)

He says, "Everyone hates you," and aside fron the Defendy's, he's right. And that level of hatred starts with the one who it is directed at, not the one directing it. Anyone who has watched Jay from the beginning knows that he has a mouth but he got down to business and is actually a good guy. For him to say something like that to your face means you ****** somebody over big time. Wendy dug her own grave and all the denial in the world is not going to stop her from lying in it.

i can't believe what i'm reading. wendy is a poor excuse for a human being and a designer. the only reason she made it through to the final is prolly due to the producers of the show, the notorious weinstein bros. who have the final word on the cut. believe me, while there is some merit to the show, wendy is the product of "makes for good television" and the weinsteins.

I more agreed with the judges on the BR challenge. I thought the pink and black fringe on Kevin's dress wouldn't be marketable to sizes over 6 and wouldn't be as wearable as the dresses that scored higher. It is a nice design it just didn't fit the challenge well - just my take.

After the Grammy challenge where Austin was dismissed, he displayed so much poise and class; he really impressed me. His designs do have a very definite look and maybe he'll move from that as he grows, but maybe that's not a bad thing. What's the cliche? "You've gotta stand for something or you'll fall for everything."
His ability to keep it together when he lost the chance at Fashion Week really proved he's more mature than I thought.

I guess you didn't see the earlier episodes then? Because it was during those episodes that Wendy laid out her strategy to "exploit" her mom status and make friends with people so she could learn their weaknesses and use that against them later. She's pretty open about her approach during her interviews and it's very cut throat. I don't find that particularly "human."
I was struck while watching the reruns during the marathon today at how much Wendy went out of her way to make herself the outsider. Right off the bat she acted as if she was above it all and in trying to establish some weird four person alliance with her roommates as if this were Survivor or something. And during the team task for the rock and roll dress she was staring at the ceiling and doing that smirk face while Austin and Vanessa were trying to sort out the tasks. I was also struck with that weird disconnect, stare straight ahead without emotion thing she would do whenever she was criticized or confronted. Seriously, she took this weird attitude with everyone and then wondered why she was treated accordingly.

Perhaps. It seems Wendy descends into the cauldron of pettiness Jay and Kara inhabit because they are such petty magnets. But Wendy always seems to revive herself from their madness and get back to the challenge at hand which is furthering her career and not 'fitting in' or 'mending and stroking egos'.
Whereas she always came back to playing the show and competing to win after conflict sidetracked her, some of the others seemed to forget it was a show and naively revealed their superficiality on film forever. Wendy seemed wise, though not above the fray enough for my tastes. She may have been emotional but that in my book is not a sign of weakness in the creative field, it's a sign of sensitivity.
Many of the others seemed to be arrogant children easily jealous of others in the spotlight or quick to ostracize someone unwilling to play along with their delusions of self-grandeur. One can be immensely creative and picky and original and spontaneous without having to be absurdly arrogant, foolish, compulsive or caustic.
(Oh by the way, I loved the SNL skit. Hilarious. I just wish it had went on longer. I wonder how the designers reacted to their portrayals?)

Wendy's designs do not impress the judges yet some how she seems to remain in the competition week after week even when her designs fall apart on the runway, how is this possible? Wendy is clearly not as talented as her competition and it is unfair that Austin lost out to her. I have not seen one outfit yet that Wendy has designed that is eye popping. She will be chewed up and spit out in the design world but I don't think it will go that far, next week will be Bon Voyage Wendy!!!

Well said. Of course, I'm sure you understand that in any of the scenarios..including those where there was no harm against Kara, the moral issue still stands....
I don't see it that way. I don't think the theft/replacement through insurance analogy fits - unless you believe that, under no circumstances, should Wendy have touched anything on KS' table inside the store. If your argument is that removing the bolt of fabric equals theft, I'd have to disagree. Poor manners, yes. But if KS got it back (note, the same fabric, not a replacement as argued by the insurance analogy) soon enough to get what she needed and not impact her design at all, then it wasn't theft. Rude, inconsiderate, possibly even malicious mind-game-playing, sure. But not theft.
I think the original poster's point was just that there is a moral (or perhaps the proper word is ethical) issue here, even if what happened was short of theft. There are many instances when one's behavior is not ethical, even if that behavior doesn't break the letter of the law, and aside from whatever measurable "harm" the behavior may have caused to any particular individual. I am not sure if Wendy pilfering the fabric is one of those instances (I tend to think it is, in fact) but the point still stands.

Have to disagree about the dress being mostly the same. Straps are different, hemline of top very different - totally changed, and skirt replaces the tutu-like feathers. The only similarity I see is the bodice and that looks just like the one Odell wore for the briefing. At least the others used some originality.

Okay - I just read Wendy's web page and her admission about trashing Kevin. I still say that it was a competition and Wendy does not have anything to do with the outcome - the judges and the producers do so...
If Wendy doesn't have anything to do with the outcome then why did she act the way she did? Where is it written that one has to act like a jerk when it's a competition? Is her behavior justified just because it's a competition? Why didn't she just concentrate on designing kick ass design each week instead of concentrating on her strategies? If she really believes that she made it to the final three based on the strength of her designs then why did she even bother with all the other bs?
Many people have written to the producers regarding Wendy's inclusion at Fashion Week. I think people's objections have less to do with her behavior and more to do with the fact that she isn't really a designer.

That was so sad seeing Austin get booted off. I thought his dress was nice, much better than Wendy's, I really don't think she should've won, it was upsetting seeing Austin get booted. I think many people agree on this. Austin's designs are just so unique...they're cute, I liked them and I'm usualy not the type that likes dresses, but his designs were nice. Hey it impressed me anyway, which isn't easy to do. I think the judges were just too harsh on that last one and I still don't understand why they chose Wendy's dress...it was so plain and the feathers only made it worse, sorry, but I think it was an all around disaster.

Kevin should have won this show! But its ok I hear he had a killer show during fashion week. We’ve seeing his press all over the fashion papers. Great job Kevin!
I've been trying to find out info about his show for the longest! Do you have any info that you can relay here? Thanks!

Hey ericats,
i knew you were somehow on the west coast! It seems there are a lot more east coasters on this board as more discussion goes on at times when I'm not on the board. Like in the morning, there's a huge amount of new posts already. Slightly off-topic, but final words: Go JAY!

After the Grammy challenge where Austin was dismissed, he displayed so much poise and class; he really impressed me. His designs do have a very definite look and maybe he'll move from that as he grows, but maybe that's not a bad thing. What's the cliche? "You've gotta stand for something or you'll fall for everything."
His ability to keep it together when he lost the chance at Fashion Week really proved he's more mature than I thought.

I LOVE that saying! "Stand for something or fall for anything" - John Mellencamp said it during the election season. Applies very well in life
Austin showed how a contestant is truly supposed to act when he helped out his fellow contestant, Jay, by filling in as his model and with his farewell speech. Anyone who said he was self-serving after that was smoking crack!
I wanted to say something about Mario. We didn't get to see alot of him but he was also very caring toward his fellow contestants. He was there to ease Jay's mind when he needed to vent and when Austin was feeling overwhelmed by his corn husk project, Mario assured him that he was on the right track. So Mario if you're reading the boards, high props to you!

Larry,
I totally agree with you. I liked Kara Saun alot from the start until she started her Wendy woes. I was so disappointed in her after that and lost respect for her. I thought she was above that pettiness. At least Wendy states her feelings tastefully with no name calling. I've come to respect Wendy more and more. What really got me was Vanessa making a snide remark about Wendy and then on the reunion show they showed Wendy saying "I love Vanessa". How sad that these people act the way they do. It's not so much the individual comments about Wendy that I dislike as much as the fact that they have formed a Wendy Hate Club amongst them. They intentionally express their distain of her publically, it shows their pettiness and lack of intelligence. I really like Wendy's new look, she looks great. I hope she kicks butt and wins. If I were a judge and saw some of the clips of the comments and attacks on Wendy, I would never support any design they produced.If Jay or Kara wins, I'll never purchase a single outfit they designed because I saw the evil side of them. They will stall and crash eventually because you cannot be that mean and be blessed with fame. It will come back to haunt them.
