I wonder what would have happened if both Vanessa and Austin said that Wendy was the weak link in their team? Would the producers still have kept her?
OH, if only! If the producers had kept her on the show in that scenario, it would have laid the Emperor's New Clothes bare. And I'd have bailed a month ago.
Fortunately for their ratings, they figured out that people actually are smarter than that.

on the upcoming show, we will see Wendy take the bolt of material that Kara was working with...given that is the kind of person in the equation, i'm more apt to blame her for it all!
I think Wendy is going to go after Kara now cuz she thinks Kara is soft - she's scared of Jay's kickahs vibes and the fact that he is so blunt and oblivious to diplomacy. She may fear that Austin will scratch her eyes out now that he has a whiff of what she is really like so I doubt she'll come at him. Me thinks she's in for a surpise with kara though.
I'm very curious to see how that scene plays out. From the previews it looks like Kara's complaining to the camera crew but not actually confronting Wendy directly at all. I mean come on, if she took the bolt, just take it back already.

I thought it looked like Wendy bought the same material as Kara, even knowing that Kara had already picked it out, not that she took some of the material that Kara had purchased after they got back to Parson's.
You'd think with all the choices there she could have found a different one to use...and I'd be surprised/upset if the woman who works at MOOD knew Kara had already picked it out and didn't try to talk Wendy out of using it.

Hard to say, since the dialog Kara says something like "...she started using material i had already started working on."Agree. Either way, Wendy intended to sabotage.
Would be funny, after all our talk on the boards, if Wendy is the one who is "out" tonight.

Oh, sabotage was clearly her motive. It just seems like such a ridiculous way to do it. Most designers would freak out if they were showing something thing that was similar to another collection being presented, it seems like you'd want to avoid having similarities to a competitor.
Unless that competitor was Kara Saun, I guess...but still, after seeing Alexandra getting booted for relying too much on other designers ideas, you'd think she'd be smart enough to make a distinctly unique look.

IMHO, it's the judging (whether Bravo-driven or not, which it seems to be)that's so odd. Michael Kors totally dissed Wendy's Postal Uniform and Wendy in general, yet Robert got the boot. I thought his was weak, but not as weak as hers! And saying Jay's outfit was butch but Kara's wasn't? As much as I love him, Nora's wedding gown was worse than Austin's? On many other epi's I thought the reason for booting the person out was odd. Keeping Wendy was definitely ratings driven and I'd like to hear the judges reasoning for some of their decisions. And during the season, I'd like to have heard more of their discussion-maybe that would back up their decisions more. One other note-I think it's really neat the way Jay grew as a designer and business person. When this show began, I thought "he's gone!"-I thought he could never relate to designing for "real" people or behaving like it (his Jesus act on the early episode compared to how he acted with Richard Johnson) Now I adore him and think he's a riot!!

I agree with you on two points: 1. I would like to see more of the judging process; and 2. The judging and who gets booted is often incongruent. But it does state at the end of the show that portions not having to do with the outcome have been edited out.

From what I understand, next week's show has the out-takes of the shows and behind the scene look. Would be interesting to see if they have the culprits in the missing items and who drew on Wendy's picture.

Welcome packysmom - never thought of that but it would be interesting to be able to question the judges about some of the conflicting requirements of some of the challenges. It would also be nice to know just how much input they actually had in the decisions and how much the producers had...that would shed a little more light on the credibility issue. Maybe they will take your question and ask it during the cast Q&A.

I hope the producers of Project Runway are hoping their Depends underwear will keep them from embarrassing themselves!
First . . . almost everybody here knew from Fashion Week information that Austin was . . . I repeat WAS . . . the decoy . . . and they continued to claim there would be an unexpected elimination . . . Austin is out! Duh! We've know this for nearly a week.
Second . . . Over an hour-and-a-half before PR aired, Access Hollywood reported the Grammy dress would be designed for Nancy O'Dell . . . and then showed the dresses more closely then the preview of this episode . . . can these people not manage the flow of communication????!!!! Why watch PR? One can learn about it before the episode airs?
I hope the producers learn from this . . . or even loose their jobs for such embarrassing and shabby management of communication.
I guess we can start writing the outlines for the remaining episodes . . . Gee, what shall the three remaining designers show during fashion week? I'm completely at a loss what they might create . . . NOT!
And . . . please, don't get me started . . . Wendy "The Cockroach" Pepper is in the final three!!! How insulting to Austin, Robert, Kevin, Alexandra, and Nora. At least Trump had the moxie to get rid of Omarosa when he knew he could have drawn it out for another episode or two.

And how wonderful that elimination would have been. But by now, I guess it's common knowledge that Austin was eliminated. I said it on another category,and I'll say it here as well. This eliminaion was easilly the saddest. That poor man looked so let down on the runway, but you know what everyone? He was so graceful and dignified when he left, and so respectful to the judges, it made his leaving all the more painful. His strength during his exit is only the latest testament to his fine character.
The only consolation is to know that he did get to Fashion Week, and that 100K or not, he has established himself as a true talent. As he said, we haven't heard the last of him yet. We are all the luckier for that.

This is the first time a tv show has made me feel quite so dissappointed and upset. I was enraged when the judges kept Wendy; the one designer who continually failed to create anything other than the same drab, clunky, junky outfits over and over again; who repeatedly was one of the worst designers during all of the challenges and constantly represented the "worst" (as ranked by the idiot judges); and who never won a challenge until she stole a color scheme from someone else. The order in which the designers were eliminated was also particularly unexplainable. Other designers who were more talented than Wendy were eliminated long before they should have been. It is almost as if the judges are blind and judge the contest on petty b/s. I am saddened by the fact that Austin lost simply because one person made a bad decision. All of the designers should have been judged by their past performances, what kind of person they are, and how they conducted themselves as professionals, and as people. It doesn't make sense. Austin, who really deserved to at least go to fashion week and was a consistently innovative designer, lost out on the opportunity of a lifetime. I really believe he was one of the top 2, and he would have thrived at fashion week- the perfect environment for a good-spirited, creative person to show off their talent. I don't think i will watch the show anymore because by allowing a manipulative, evil, plagiarizing, and untalented person to go on to fashion week the show has lost its integrity... and for what? Ratings? I certainly don't want to see Wendy winning the grand prize in the end. What a let down.

I do believe Austin would of been in the final three had Nancy O'Dell been more informative with her "likes and dislikes" to the designers. She said that she really liked Kara's design but she never "wears" beaded materials... and she never conveyed this point to the designers. If she had, Kara would have won the challenge and Wendy would have been eliminated. Austin was by far more talented between he and Wendy. So many fantastic designers have been eliminated while she was allowed to remain. I am very puzzled and frustrated.
Don’t defend Wendy because she is “not pretty”, or much older and therefore we must defend her actions and give her the benefit of the doubt. And do not mistake her "reveling" in the fact that others are "hurting" as an acceptable recourse for that point. She is just plain "mean spirited".
I am a 54 year old homemaker and I love this show. Wendy has only shown her talent for designing with a "full pattern" and not with creativity. Austin was "way out there" at times but I loved his creative drive. We have not seen the last of Austin Scarlet.
Jay is a “Fantastic” designer and Kara will win in the end.

February 10, 2005 - 05:37 AM
ita - she needs a pattern OR someone else's idea. i said in another post that she put something Kara would wear (design) with a skirt that Jay would make not to mention she went for Kara's bolt of material - LOL! she's a parasite. One thing about Austin, he pulls his design outta his own ahs! I was not a huge Austin fan until last night - when he sat on that table and talked about not changing who you are or what you dream just to please others.
wendy had to get to the final three cuz her Simplicity/Butterick pattern frump stuff is easier for BR to reproduce...remind me to NOT shop there until I'm at least 60 years old

Well, that's that-sort of. I love the show, I'll keep watching but it's all really a shame! Tell me Wendy's outfit needed less "tweaking" than any of the others? From the neck up (which is the camera's view), it was the most boring of the 4!! I admit I didn't like Kara Saun's pants, but the outfit was gorgeous. Nancy doesnt wear sequins/beads-what about W's skirt? Wasn't that beaded/sequined? And Tim telling her (in private) how cute it was-was that odd or was it me? Jay deserved to win the challenge, IMHO, I have no clue what the gripe was about his top and Wendy-well someone saved her again! Poor Austin, what a sweetheart--
An idea for next season would be to have a show that allows the viewers to vote. I would have a second runway showing just the fashions, not the designers (so as not to be based on personality) and explaining the challenge. Viewers would have a week to vote and the next week would show the actual show, the making of the clothes etc, and the runway with the designers. The winner would be the viewers choice-
Also re next week-Did you see Wendy? Someone's gotten herself a stylist, LOL....

I'll have to tune into the Grammy's to see the 'tweaking'. I liked all the oufits excepts Wendy's. ANd yes they should let the viewers choose.

This whole show is fixed!! I mean come on. . . Wendy in the top 3. She should have left as soon as the show started! Has anyone noticed that at the end of the show before the credits come up there is alot of writing on the screen. You have to be a really quick reader to read what it says but, the first line is something like " All judges final input and rulings are made by the Producers and the Director of the show!!" But the thing is they flash it really fast on the screen. There is no way in hell Austin should have left. It's all about ratings. Keep the b***h on the show and watch the ratings go up. Everybody wants a little controversy on the show. That's what these so called reality television competitions are all about in the end. They only kept Wendy on because everybody hates her.

Well he's stuck to that except when it comes to Wendy. I was really screaming at the TV and my boyfriend thought I was crazy, but give me a break! Does he feel sorry for her? I just don't understand why he keeps helping her. I didn't see him helping anyone else. and by the way... Wendy did steal the fabric. They actually showed her taking it off of the table that Kara was using. I've never seen anyone else use the same dang fabric.

i like that format.
and in that vein, i went into the next office to get an unbiased opinion on the runway fashions(unbiased as in 'doesnt know wendys a biotch') and said 'which do you like best?' Austin was the undisputed winner, Jay was the loser. she liked both Wendy's and Kara's.
i agree austin will go far but i also agree, and i know this wont be a popular opinion, hes a tad one dimensional with his design concepts, not that they arent flawlessly executed and technically amazing, he just doesnt compromise when given an exact task. though i am convinced he will be a very successful designer soon. very distinctive austin scarlet originals.
i hate wendy like the rest of you, but i liked her design! love the color, though i couldnt get away with it with my pasty white complexion, orange seems to be the new black. she actually listened to nancy and shock of shocks, listened to tim's suggestions.
kara's design was beautiful, as usual, but the pants were overkill, though i understand the concept, probably distinquished it asthetically from oscar to grammy, a more youthful, hip, look.
jay is hands down my favorite designer. not just his razor sharp wit but his technical prowess with intricate detailing (chrysler building). and he does adapt to the occasion, without compromising his individuality. i was disappointed with his outfit though. nothing horrible, just too pedestrian.
oh bravo? are you monitoring the board?

I can't believe Wendy got through, let alone won! Her dress was horrible! I can honestly say that I would rather streak down the red carpet than wear that alone in my room. It was so ugly! They really should have chosen a different celebrity who actually has some class. I swear. That girl's life goal must be to look like a cheap hooker and guess what! She accomplished that with Wendy's dress. It looks like it was from Kmart. She's one of the worst designers ever on the show. How did she get to the top 3? They liked something she designed ONCE. I didn't even like it then. Plus, she's such a b****! Did anyone look at the ratings of the clothes on this site? Kara's, Austin's and Jay's were all rated above 4 (out of 5) and Wendy's was 2.5. What does that tell you? I'm just trying to be happy about Jay getting in to the top 3. Excuse me while I go wretch at the thought of someone actually wearing Wendy's dress in public.

All I have to say is WTF? Austin Scarlett is actually talented - not to mention Jay or Kara - they are remarkable powerhouses in their own right. But WTFFFF!!!!! He even stated that Wendy was the most inconsistant and then they chose her design! She is going to be an embarrassment to the show when her "designs" - if that is what you can call them - show up on the runway. She is in the fashion business and doesn't watch the Grammys? You have got to be kidding me!! The award shows are where top designers show off their best stuff and she can't be bothered to watch it?
God, I hope she really does get Austin to design her Oscar dress. I would have LOVED to wear that dress - it was made for a woman's figure and would be flattering to many sizes.
I will say no one listened to her when she asked for deep purple or blue or a bright color that would show well under the lights.
And the only reason to bring Robert back is his cute butt and smile. Talent and construction were not his strong points.

I agree that the next show should be “viewer’s choice”. After all it is the public that the clothes are made for and viewers that buy the clothes!
This last show was left little consideration as to WHO would select the winner. Nancy O’Dell surely chose the winner because the winner of this last design challenge would go on to the finial three. She chose the winner not knowing anything about design or talent because after all she has to hire a designer to create a style for her. It’s ironic that the judges, even though they wanted to keep Austin, caved to the style that Nancy O’Dell wanted to wear (from the neck up no less) and let her choose Wendy. This was too crucial a challenge for this type of judging. In the end I do believe Wendy was kept for ratings rather than talent.

Well, if you look at the things that Access Nancy wears, you'll see its a variation on the same theme. That top is what she wears every week. She should have tried to jump out of her comfortable box and either wore Kara's w/out the leather pants or had Austins shortened or tweaked like Heidi was suggesting or hinting. Its unfortunate that Wendys boring safe little top won, I see that top everywhere at the cheap trendy clothing stores, she coulda bought that top at Rave or Rainbow, lol! Once again she slides by with half an outfit. I would have loved jays the best if he had done a plunging neck line or strapless (showing lots of cleavage). Oh well, Nancy, you picked the worst designer! but Austin wouldnt have won anyway, all their designs were shown at fashion week and he and wendy failed to wow anyone. Jay had the most original and put together collection. Austin will make a load of green designing for the Oscars next year.

Nancy O'Dell shouldn't have to do anything, she's the client. Wendy, even though she didn't know anything about Nancy's style beyond what she learned in that brief meeting, created something for Nancy. Austin himself said that he created his dress for his taste, not Nancy's.
That's all well and good for a collection, to design with your vision only, but if a big part of being a designer is working one-on-one with clients, Austin has a lot to learn. He very well could make a lot of money desiging dresses for the Oscars if he either learns to work with the individual to incorporate their sense of style into his work or finds lots of people who are willing to compromise their own style to his...I don't see the second option happening a lot in Hollywood.
Nancy might have picked the worst deseigner, but she picked the best design for *her* and her needs, which makes perfect sense. It was funny, though, seeing Heidi and the others try to convince her that she could tweak the other outfits just as easily. I'm guessing Nancy wouldn't back down, though, which is how it sometimes goes when working with a client.

Wendy's work has continued to be amateur and on par with a high school remedial sewing class, while Austen Scarlett was - although somewhat costumey - incredibly inspired, amazingly skillful, and consistently superior in technique and execution.
For Nancy Odell to have chosen Wendy's unfinished and tacky "garanimal" dress over Austen's obvious talent, it demostrated an incredible irresponsibility on the part of the producers to take into account the potential impact to a gifted designer's career.
Bottom line - Wendy does not deserve to be in the final three. She is a hack dressmaker, incapable of rising to the ability of a designer.
The last episode will not be a true competition between three people. Rather, it will be a competition between Kara and Jay, with Wendy's horrific work taking up wasted space on both the runway and the bodies of the models.
How dare Nancy Odell be so arbitrary and cavalier in her decision-making process, and shame on the producers of Project Runway to allow Wendy any more undeserved attention.

Season II???
LMAO!!!
Dear Producers,
Congratulations, you fooled us good! tsk, tsk! You polluted the final three with the presence of an obvious loser. Dream on about another season.
Clue: The viewers are pissed. Remember just how you underrated us when your feet hurt pounding the pavement looking for your next gig.
