He's never felt as empty as when he was in the bottom three? Project Runway is harder than kicking a meth addiction? Oh and his dress was DIOR before the phantom iron/steamer/super soaker got to it?

I'm not usually one to like the drama of contestants throwing each other under the bus but I sort of want to send the Feather Prince a BIG ASSED bouquet.

ETA: In non-ranty news, one of the dresses (I think Shirin's?) reminded me of Anna's cups dress from The Fashion Show.

I disagreed with the winner tonight, too. If they were rewarding Irina for making a coat out of newspaper, so be it, but some of the garments (Althea's) would have been interesting and attractive no matter what the medium. If the coat had been made of cloth and furry stuff, it still would have been just a coat. But maybe the judges intended the challenge to be a reward for making something crazy out of the paper rather than the best looking garment since wearability was impossible anyway.

re: Survivor and Russell- It may be because I am fed up with the sanctimonious gameplay of late, but I am really interested to see how deliberately batshit evil works out. I am also intrigued to see if the other players are in fact as dumb as he thinks and if they work out what he's doing.

Come on, New Hampshire cop lady! Figure it out!

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen Tim badmouth someone. He was pissed!

I'm assuming this happened after my dvr cut off?

Happy he's gone, but Nicolas really needs to lay off the superior attitude. I don't think he's ever even been in the top three.

Honestly, I don't get Althea. I actually thought she might be in the bottom. It didn't look like it fit up top at all; and down the runway it was one of the more obvious "that's not fabric" dresses.

Given the previews, though, I was happy to see that most people pulled off some really cool things.

I didn't love Althea's either. Well, not for *me*. I just don't love that very square look, and although she did create a really cool pattern, it wound up looking really 80s to me.

It surprised me that no really *truly* bombed tonight. There wasn't one "My eyes!" horror. Even Johnny's is just boring.

yes, usually at this point, someone throws some shit on the runway, but everything was halfway decent.

I agree. I think this deliberate sabotage is a true twist. I can't decide if I want him figured out early or see everyone miss his crazy-obvious gameplay.

Anyway Marisa made a mistake. Keep your head down and do ok on the challenge on day 1. Don't start accusing people of shit!

Tim went off on Johnny after he sent him up to the workroom to pack up his kni--, er, get his stuff together. He couldn't believe that Johnny went into his bullshit story and told the other designers so.

Speaking of PR, Bravo is currently showing the end of Season 1! Kara Saun's shoe scam, Jay "looks like Buddha!", and Wendy Pepper. Ah, Wendy Pepper, the worst designer to make it to the final three, and the one with the biggest delusions of grandeur. She was so completely outclassed by the other two.

Thanks Kathy! My dvr takes a long time to switch over to another channel, so if I tape back to back it usually cuts off. Since I'm actually eventually making a DVD for someone without cable, I think I have to just decide that the first minute of the Daily Show is not that important.

Awww! Wendy Pepper! How I would have LOVED to see a Wendy vs Santino rage-a-thon.
