Ahh the Andrae montage was priceless! I seriously laughed the first time I watched it and the second time. He had one of the best presences on the reunion, imo. He seemed forgiving and accepting, and I didn't know he was like that!martinibambini said:I nearly pissed my drawers when they did the Santino/Tim impersonation bit. "Where's Andrae?" and Daniel V. losing it....it was priceless.
I also adored the Andrae skipping and leaping montage.
Lupe was looped. Did you notice how they made sure to film her downing Cosmos at the beginning? I knew it was foreshadowing for more to come. However, she was more than drunk. On something.
Daniel F. was creepy and I normally loved him. His Heidi stalking is disturbing.
Zulema is a psycho! What is with her alter ego? What is that?
And yes, they do a LOT of foreshadowing..such as Santino imitating Tim was in the "previously on Project Runway" of the show where Tim finds out. I can't wait until the finale(s)! eeeek
I was really impressed with Project Jay. Seeing him as a guest judge on the second season made me think negatively of him (without seeing the first season), but this show totally changed my mind. He's so entertaining and inspiring..and I really like his work. I'm going to be loving this show too!

Jay
I totally understand having negative feelings about Jay after seeing him as a judge. My friends feel the same way. I'm glad you've changed your mind! He was WONDERFUL last season. If they ever come out with DVD's of Project Runway, you've GOT to see the first season. He was an absolute riot. Totally hysterical and wonderfully talented. If I recall correctly, I think he didn't win a whole lot of challenges actually. But I always felt like he got jipped.

eliza, there's Season One DVDs at amazon.com! 
My friend has them, and I actually saw a few. That made me like him more too! So very funny and talented.

No way. I'm so excited! And I'm happy you like him more now haute femme!From today's edition of The Boston Globe (boston.com
Supermodel Heidi Klum, the high priestess of ''Project Runway," has given her ''auf wiedersehen" to 13 aspiring fashion designers. Now only Santino Rice, Chloe Dao, and Daniel Vosovic remain on Bravo's hit reality series, competing for $100,000, a mentorship with Banana Republic, a Saturn Sky Roadster, a spread in Elle, and a potential side career as a TV star.
With heavy rotation on Bravo and a cast of charismatic style makers, the show has quickly become the ''American Idol" of people who love fashion. And now viewers across the country are divided over who should win. Globe writers Joe Yonan, Joanna Weiss, and Bobby Hankinson sat down one afternoon with Style & Arts editor Ann Scales to dish about who they think will make the cut -- and who will fall apart at the seams -- during the two-part finale that begins tonight.
Joanna Weiss: I searched my soul over this, because he is kind of a big jerk, but I feel like Santino is a creative force. He has a vision. Anyone can go and design something nice for Banana Republic or J. Jill. Santino has a vision, and I think he should win it.
Joe Yonan: Bobby has something to say about that. I know that he does.
Bobby Hankinson: Oh, we're going there? Fine. My pick would be Daniel Vosovic. He has clean lines, and his stuff is really wearable, and he thinks about women's body shapes and what they should be wearing. It's really suitable and something you can take off of the runway and onto the streets.
JY: I have this feeling that Santino has been playing us this whole time. Even the stuff that's been totally over the top, he knows has been over the top. He knows that he's going to skate by and make it into the finale. Then I think we're going to see something different from him. But I do like Chloe. Although she really lost me when she did what I think is the kiss of death on a reality show: admit that you're not sure you want it. Never, never do that.
JW: Santino has been propped up a bit by the producers all along. As one of the contestants said, it is and has always been the Santino Show. And I think Project Santino would be a lot more fun to watch than Project Daniel or Project Chloe.
Ann Scales: Santino's been in the bottom two or three several times. He's made a lot of mistakes as a designer.
JW: His lingerie was a disaster [Episode 4, ''Team Lingerie"]. That was perhaps the ugliest thing I have ever seen.
AS: Why is Chloe there?
JW: Chloe designs beautiful clothes.
BH: She's been consistent is what she's been. It's always tasteful; it's never too much.
JW: She's a little much on the turquoise.
BH: She likes the turquoise.
JY: She's done that a couple of times -- the blue and the black combo.
BH: It's pretty though; it's pleasing to the eyes.
JY: And it's got just enough of an interesting touch that it doesn't make it boring. I thought her Nicky Hilton dress was beautiful [Episode 5, ''Social Scene"] with the single braid, and her skating dress [Episode 7, ''On Thin Ice"] -- which was also turquoise.
BH: She rocks the turquoise, but she's consistent. If nothing else, you can depend on Chloe that she'll do well.
JW: I like Daniel Vosovic, I think he designs beautiful things. But -- maybe this is just me not being a couture person -- that orchid dress [Episode 8, ''Inspiration"] was the weirdest thing I had ever seen. I could not imagine anyone wearing it.
JY: I did not like the orchid dress.
BH: I'm so alone on this. I love the orchid dress. I was like, ''That's so great!" I never would have seen that and put that form, that silhouette, into that outfit.
AS: Andrae [Gonzalo] hurt himself with his theatrics. Should he have been in this final three?
JY: No.
BH: He was always kind of consistent. Kind of like Chloe, he stayed on par. He always kept up, he didn't fall short. He took a huge risk on that garden dress [Episode 9, ''Flower Power"], and it was hideous. It was hideous; like they rolled her in sod. It was awful.
JW: What did Michael Kors say it looked like, a welcome mat?
JY, BH, AS: A doormat.
JY: I watched that again recently and he [Andrae] says in the outset, ''I went for dead and dried things," or ''things that would die beautifully." It's like, dude, nothing dies beautifully.
AS: Nick [Verreos] should be in the top three, I think.
BH: I don't know. I was so on the Nick train. I was all over it. I loved Nick, rooting for Nick.
JY: Until the walk-off.
BH: Not only that, but his clothes started falling down the hill too. His Daniel Vosovic makeover was awful [Episode 10, ''Makeover"].
JW: That was a disaster. That was a disaster.
JY: And another fishtail skirt? No! Stop it with the fishtail.
BH: I just had enough of him. I think everyone kind of did. We all got overdosed on Nick. We were like ''We're done with you. You're not keeping this interesting enough for us anymore."
AS: So, guys, who do you think has designed the clothes that people would want to wear?
JY: Probably Chloe.
BH: I would say Chloe, too.
JW: It's between Chloe and Daniel. Chloe's got a more interesting edge, I think. Daniel nailed Banana Republic, but I'm not sure that's the greatest thing.
BH: Banana Republic, is that really what designers aspire to? Banana Republic?
JY: And it's weird they get a design internship with Banana Republic.
JW: If Santino wins, he's turning that down. He's running away from that.
AS: Anything else?
JY: I don't think it's an overstatement to say that, so far anyway, [''Project Runway" is] the best depiction of the creative process that I've ever seen on television. We're in a creative business, so I think I can identify with them in that sense.
JW: Though watching someone write would be a lot more boring.

i know heidi pretty well and i worked with her many times...The Leviathan said:
i don't think her being cranky one time in a store really says much...
in my experience she is one of the most authentic and lovely people i have ever come across in this business...
i knew her before she became famous and could barely even speak english...
and i know her since all the fame and notoriety...
and she was just as open and friendly and bubbly as ever...
she is a silly, fun girl who doesn't take herself too seriously....
i think that is what has made her such a success...
also...she is a complete workaholic...she'll do anything for the picture...
she has never been a princess as far as i know...
she's just super friendly and super fun to be with..
i have also met very few people who are as comfortable in their own skin...
ps-it happens all the time that stars change their minds about a dress at the last minute...
and it was obvious that jay really didn't want to do the dress and that eveningwear was not his forte...
true story...
toni collette was a client of mine and she asked my friend to design a dress for her to wear when she was nominated for an oscar..
this was a big opportunity for my friend (a small, little known designer)...
to have her dress worn at the oscar's by a nominee...??!!??....HUGE!!!....
so she came to NY for a fitting...
busted her butt to make her a dress (also red, conincidentally)...
and at the last minute, toni collette decided to wear a versace dress that she had worn on a photoshoot, that i didn't even know about...
so there you go!...you just can't make anyone wear anything....
in the end it is really their decision..and it should be...
after all...it is them out there alone for all the world to see...
so it is a huge disappointment of course...
but there will be other opportunities...
you have to be strong and let it go...

Santino
I hate Santino as a person, but damn I love his collection. I was really pulling for Chloe but I feel like an old lady just looking at some of her stuff. Daniel's stuff is cute, but not right on. I felt sorry for him after talking to Tim though. He should be alright, hes the youngest most unexperienced designer, he is still lucky to be in the top 3. I wish the finale wasn't on at the same time as the premier of ANTM 6!

Santino's mom is black? I always thought he's greek too. LOL. They showed a different side of Santino last night. Vulnerable, insecure and grateful!.......without being patronizing, I love Santino's collection the most. He's visionary and has sense of direction, Chloe is good but kinda plain. Daniel is clean and wearable, but that's about it, clean and wearable!...........A Santino creation kinda makes you feel special, apart from the rest, and it's very unique. I have a feeling though, that PR will pick Daniel V after picking Jay last year. They want an anti-Jay this year.

That's great to hear. I've been a Heidi fan for years and I always thought she was a genuinely sweet person.
Anyway, I have become a Santino fan after last night's episode. He is just one of those people who says what he feels.
