Default Does anyone elas watch Project Runway???

SORRY! That's supposed to be "Does anyone ELSE watch Project Runway!"

My 12 yr old daughter and I never miss it! I wish Jeffrey would go home already! He is just sooo rude. I hated it when he made Angela's mom cry a few weeks back. I've always taught my kids, "you don't have to like everybody, but you do have to be nice to them." Seems like he should have been taught that lesson too! I hope Michael makes it into the finals!

Yes. I watch Project Runway too. (It's so nice to have cable again.) Sometimes, I'll miss it on Wednesday, but I usually catch the weekend reruns.

I know Jeffrey had problems with alcoholism (and drugs if I remember correctly) and not that I'm excusing his behavior, but some people with those issues may have some difficulty socializing without their old coping mechanisms. At least that's my guess.

Yeah, Michael's very talented, and I love Laura; I have pretty similar tastes to her, and I'd love to look/dress like that when I'm her age.

I wanted to be a fashion designer when I was younger (I used to hand sew clothes for my Barbies), but never pursued it. However, Project Runway has gotten me motivated. I recently purchased a sewing machine (which I'm currently learning to use) and I've got my drawings and fabric. I don't plan on starting a line of my own, but I'd just like to be able to make clothes for myself.

I like Jeffery! Sure he's a big fat meanie head. But he doesn't try and pretend to be nice and then turn around and say something mean behind the other contestants back. He's as mean to their face as he is behind their back, and I think there is something to be said for that. Some of the other contestants are a bit two faced.


I'm addicted to project runway.

I think Jeffery, Michael and Laura will be the final three.

Oh I love the show! Michael, Uli and Laura are my favorites. I don't like Jeffrey at all, although I did like his couture gown last week. I really thought he should have been sent home the week of the everyday woman challenge (Angela's mother). That "design" was disgusting. Funny how he didn't have time to make a jacket that week, but he had time to make one for himself on the jetsetter challenge. Thinwithin, my 12yo DD and I love watching this together also. (14yo DS watches it too)

I love that show.

I don't like Jeffrey, he's such a butthead.

I like Michael and Uli the best, they're both really good. I hope one of them wins.

I don't like Jeffrey either, but agree it might be something about his former life before becoming sober that makes him so abrasive.

But i don't understand how the judges can keep someone who makes their client cry. Especially considering that he was designing for the "everyday woman" and basically made all kinds of disparaging remarks about her weight. Heres the thing...its not impossible to design something fashionable for bigger women...look at Uli's outfit! That top was adorable.

They always keep the "jerk" to the end...this time its Jeff, last time it was Santino (some of the crud he put out was just awful)...good for ratings, and we love to hate em . I love that stupid show and force my household of boys and men to put up with it...if they dont like it, they can read a book.

I love the show! I've been watching it since the first season. This is the kind of show that I can watch the reruns no matter how many times I've seen it already.

There's always that one person everyone doesn't like on the show. First Wendy, then Santino, and now Jeffrey. He has talent, but I'm getting kind of bored with him.

After last night I don't know who it will be next week. Uli and Jeffrey better come up with something different though if they want to have a chance! I wonder what the big suprise is for next week!

I love the show too, and even bought the "My Scene" barbie from last season.
Also hate Jeffrey, and agree they are keeping him to be this season's Santino - fun to hate, creative, but unpredictable. I liked Angela because I had somehow missed the pageant challenge, but when I got caught up, I was really disappointed to see how she didn't even try to design something of her own for the client.

I love this show too! I'm rooting for Michael. I think he's really talented and has really been a gentleman throughout. I have to say I kind of take Jeff's side vs. Angela's mom. Something about her rubbed me the wrong way.... Whatever though. I miss Santinio's impersonating Tim, that was always hilarious.

Oh, Angela's mom was abrasive too...but its not like a designer is never going to have to work with an abrasive/disagreeable/difficult client...and that was sort of part of the challenge. I mean, we all know that Jeffrey can design for a very limited clientele - limited by their size (tiny), age (young) and social scene. The challenge was about designing outside of that range...and his outfit was ugly, unflattering on his customer, and generally horrible. Even if his client was super-abrasive, that doesn't mean that his outfit had to be horrible and dumpy.

That was hilarious! It was great when Santino had to tell Tim about the Andre and Tim go to Red Lobster bit
