I have a friend who interned with IMG and was working at Fashion Week. Besides seeing awesome people like Nigel Barker, she found out that there are actually 6 people in Project Runway who do a show at Bryant Park.
Apparently, the judges already know the winners, but since the show's not over and they dont want to give anything away, they have 6 people walk and just cut out the 3 people who don't win. I thought it was funny :D |

^ You don't know who wins until you watch the show.
Yeah PR always has "decoy" collections so that the final 3 are never revealed. No one ever knows about them (if you don't keep up with the collections) until after the show's over, and it's kind of a nice surprise. I remember that I actually really liked Kara Janx's decoy collection! |

Well, she isn't a judge, so it's not like she would know.

Even if the judges know (which they should, because the finale episode should be filmed by now), why would they reveal who the winners are now? That would completely defeat the purpose of the entire finale show. I don't even want to look at the collections now, despite knowing that half of them are decoys.
NO SPOILERS PLEASE!! |

Well if she found out, then the judges/producers/anyone else involved with PR did a horrible job of keeping their mouths shut. If it leaked now there would be serious consequences.

Well, since it's not really giving anything away since the people who presented in fashion week are the people who are currently left out, Suede's collection was horrible. Not worth looking at it.

... right.
I'm not a judge and don't know any of the judges, therefore I don't know the winners. |

I still don't want to look at the collections though - I'm weird like that! I like to wait until the very last moment to see everything, and then pore over it slowly afterwards. Ugh, I'm just imagining Suede's collection in my head though. Not good.

They do the decoy thing in America's Next Top Model aswell. When the girls go to a different country, they take a group of eliminated models along as well. The eliminated models do the go-sees with the ones who are still in the competion too.

^ Yeah, that's what I was going to mention. It makes a lot of sense as well, because they're out in the open all the time over there. A friend of a friend actually ran into the girls from this cycle while they were filming in Amsterdam this summer.

I kinda figured they did that after they showed Chris March's and Sweet Pea's collections in the Entertainment Weekly last season. Preeetty sneaky.

Keep in mind I haven't watched today's episode yet.
Suede - WTF his shit is consistently tacky and he regurgitates the same silhouettes. Pisses me off. Kenley - Sometimes she nails it on the head and sometimes she just f**ks up - last week's Avant Garde episode, anyone? She's way overconfident, but that girl's execution skills are excellent. Can't really say the same for her fabric choices though. She looks like Veronica and I like that XD. Korto - f**king. Love. Korto. I want her to win. I haven't seen her collection at Bryant Park yet and frankly I'm holding out so that the suspense can build up XD. I love her play on volume and the way she executes her garments - always perfectly. She's humble and knows how to improve upon being critiqued. Joe - Straight guy Joe, still in the game...why? Jerell - Shit he says the funniest stuff XD. I love him but his judgment's a little cooky sometimes. A definite hit-or-miss. I don't even think his Avant Garde piece was good enough for the win; then again, none of them were. The designers crapped out some stuff for that challenge. Compared to last season - no comparison! Did anyone watch the DvF challenge? And they entered the actual DvF building, and you could hear them saying "OMG, where are we going?!" LOOK AT THE SIGN. IT'S RIGHT THERE. |

Joe just got eliminated! I was waiting for this day for like... forever.
I liked Suede's work in the beginning, but he's slowly been losing my interest. Hm... idk if that needs a spoiler, but I'll put it up anyways :D |

QUOTE(andrewexd @ Sep 18 2008, 01:01 AM) honestly i dont really like any of the designer this season. Same here. I mean, other than Korto, I haven't really been impressed with anyone. Kenley has talent too, but I find her too irritating to appreciate what she makes. Plus, I don't like how they're repeating challenges from past seasons. Most of them are ones that you'll never be able to top (the avant garde challenge, for example). |

^ Kenley seems like such a bitch. Although it's probably the editing. It makes the show more fun to watch though. Let the bitchery begin!
I totally missed writing about Leanne in my last post - shows how much I care about her. No, she's a good designer, her garments are usually well executed and she has a definite point of view, but she does come off a little dowdy. Mel, I appreciated the spoiler code! :D I just watched it now though. Joe needed to be gone like 5 challenges ago. |
