Any1 watch Proj Rnwy (SPOILERS)

[Skyesthelimit1212]

So what are thinking of this season?  I have a rule, I have to always root for anyone from Boston, so even though they choose a loud Bostonian I still have to cheer her on,  

I think last week winner was perfect, however, what were they thinking saying that dung colored outfit was great.  She looked like a poop colored wall.  I sadly think they sent the correct person home too.  

Ok so this week....

Swapnil's I would wear in a HEARTBEAT, although I think Edmond should have won.   Speaking of,  Where the fuck did Edmond pull that dress bottom out from. He came out and it fucking perfect and from a far the top looked like lace!

Seriously how many times can you tell someone that they have too much cloth and not enough cards for a unconventional. Every year someone says, "No, the design so perfect they ignore I only used one cup to make a pocket."  
Blake's dress was UGLY, FULL STOP.  Amanda's could have been pretty had she kept the sides the same length as the front panel.  

Those are the ones I can remember, I can't find pics online yet of all the designs.

I watched but was multitasking at the time. Is there anywhere to go now for recaps? I don't think TLo are doing them anymore. And Lifetime doesn't seem to be showing all the garments.

I thought the loser deserved it. I didn't really think the other girl in the bottom two should necessarily have been there (but they were giving her the loser edit throughout the show), but I'd need to see some recaps to be sure.

I'll admit I liked the one with the purple/pink gradient and the glitter. And the one with the racer back top was very interesting. I didn't think her skirt was that great though - and that probably prevented her from being the winner.

I think your right, LT only seems to be showing the full eps on the website.

If anybody deserved to be in the bottom two is should have been the one that made that long middle panel in the front and back.

Oh my, that pink/purple dress was hideous. I couldn't believe the judges liked it.

I like the designers this season more than in recent seasons. I'm intrigued by the woman with the jet black hair and the hipster blonde from Austin.

[sporklemotion]

I agree with your assessments, though I don't remember a dung colored outfit. I agree with the win, but feel bad for Swapnil, because I think his outfit was great and that it would have won any other time. They don't usually have two great pieces like that.

I would have put the weird pink skirt that Tim said was like Kate Spade on the bottom. I don't remember the name of the guy who made it, but I thought it looked like a sandwich board.

It's early, but I am liking Ashley and not really liking Blake. I don't have strong opinions of the others yet. I like that Ashley does plus-sized stuff, and I hope she's around for the "real woman" challenge. Her poncho thing was awful, but she knew that. I think she was the third low score, and that's why they had only two. I wished that had shown more of her, or at least explained how she didn't follow the rules of the challenge. Blake just feels like a rehash of the young, overconfident, snippy designer that they have every season. His outfit was OK, but I'm guessing that he came in fourth and they kept him there for editing reasons, since everyone thought he would be in the bottom.

[IIOY]

We DVRed and will be watching tonight or tomorrow. Until then, I'm not reading this thread!!

This one:  Although on tv to me it read poop color, lmao, oops, no pun intended.  Hahahaha

I saw the pink/purple and thought barbie had thrown up on it.  

Candace, I like her too.  I had to look her name up

If it's the one with glasses, I care for her, at least not yet??
 

[bernsteincat]

I don't understand why the guy with the pink and purple monstrosity didn't get chewed out for having a mostly fabric dress. He only covered the middle section, the rest was straight up (heavily glitter-ized) Muslim. Awful.

I thought that they were going to keep the guy and send the girl home just because of design concept, but I'm glad they stuck to their guns and sent non-rule-follower home.

Tim was on Fallon last week, and it seemed like he was not happy at all with this crop of designers. I can't wait to seem his head explode. Also, I finally figured out that Tim Gunn = C3PO.

I can stop staring at Swapnil's eyes. So heavenly.

[jinkies]

Can we talk about 3 separate designers not bringing their tool kits? I may be bitch, bc I don't think I would have shared in that situation.

I wonder if they ultimately decided that production didn't give clear instructions and gave those 3 tools, bc it doesn't seem to have held anyone back in either challenge.

What I don't understand is, this is your craft why would you leave your tool kits behind??  In all the seasons when a designer leaves they show them packing up, and non of the tool kits are the same.  If they are giving you tool kits to use wouldn't they all be the same?  Plus, I'm assuming your tools are "a part of you", meaning getting used to another kit would throw you off, right, or am I wrong?  This is coming form someone who can't sew a hole in a sock, lol.

How was this crap not in the bottom?

I love the unconventional challenges!  My favorites over the years was the one in the candy/Hershey shop (and Jillian's licorice dress) and the grocery store episode where Michael made the dress out of coffee filters.

[shortstax]

Another question - what made up the bottom portion of Edmond's dress? They seem like large pieces of paper. Those didn't come from cards, did they?

[Skyesthelimit1212]

shortstax, YES, that dress should have been in the bottom! I just couldn't remember who made it.

I think the bottom of Edmond's dress was all envelopes.

Good question! I think that the sloppiness of the girl's skirt pushed it lower. It had that weird slant in front that looked like it might be a mistake, but maybe not? 


Skyesthelimit1212, I remember that one. It was more of a rust/orange on my TV. I don't love it, but it looks well-made, which I think is enough for the first week. Usually, there are a few people who struggle so much with time that they populate the bottom.

I didn't understand this either - I kept waiting for them to say something about it, then nothing...

I didn't realize a new season had started! And I was looking for something to watch today. Arg!!!

Both esp are playing on the lifetime website if that helps.   Or if you have video on demand it might be playing there as well.

I missed it too until I was flipping channels last night! Who knows why my DVR didn't pick it up. There have only been two episodes so far, so you're not far behind.

[Skyesthelimit1212]

1234FIF!, I hate everything about that dress. It looks so uncomfortable, I'm srsly questioning Nina's fashion sense these past few seasons.

me too, I thought that was so strange

I'm thinking it was because he said the lining of the dress was made up of the purple cards.  

[bowies]

I really like the orange dress from ep 1! The lines were so interesting. But I tend to like a more structured look. The color is unfortunate though - somewhere close to a sweet potato or your uncle's 1970s rec room couch.

[insominac]

I loved the wedding dress. I can't remember the last time someone nailed a challenge as good as that guy. The bodice and skirt were perfect and totally transcended the materials - with the exception of the Indian guy (forgive me, I don't get their names until ep 10) everything else looked like craft projects. The use of the Hallmark logo was a stroke of genius, as was being inspired by a card in the store. I mean, how meta is that? And dude makes a bouquet?
*throws hands up* I'm done. I seriously would have given that a standing ovation as it walked down the aisle.

[auberge]

I loved the wedding dress. I was waiting with anticipation the whole runway show. It's also awesome that he has waited so long to make the show and has done so well so far.

[bernsteincat]

I long for PR of yore when you got 2 days for practically every challenge and the show wasn't sponsored within an inch of it's life. I will always love this show, and I think it's one of the best competitions shows on tv, but I wish it had never moved to Lifetime.

You mean you don't like the mary Kay/bluefly/piper lime/Walmart/mall kiosk/sharper image wall!?

[bimbi284]

Dammit! I love PR, but totally forgot about it once we got rid of cable and got a roku!

I'm gonna need to try and find this season!

I do not like this big wedding dress. Ep 2

It looked like it had cotton balls stuck on it. Hideous.

Also, could they be any more obvious keeping racist Blake around for more drama? He made a dress almost totally out of muslin, barfed Barbie pink and purple glitter all over it, and the judges are falling over themselves with how amazing it is. HMeanwhile, they eliminate a perfectly good design because it was too much muslin. Oh please.

Everyone was saying this on the show, but I don't get what was cool about the hoodie. To me, it looked like one of those cheap shirts you get at Spencer Gifts or something, or the sweatpants that say foxy or something on the butt. I just don't see how the words were stylish or clever or anything.  I'm not fashionable, though.

I'm not a Blake fan, but I don't think David deserved to stay.

I watched online, the first two eps are up now. 

Thx!! On the roku you have to have a cable provider to log in to the lifetime channel. It is dumb.
