Slog - Comments on Islam, Islam, Islam! http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/02/islam_islam_isl Can we talk about something else? Oh, I know: let's talk about PROJECT RUNWAY! It's on now, bitches. Discuss....

And Santino's two winning dresses from previous episodes? Didn't they look exactly alike when they showed them side-by-side?

remember last week how andrae aka weepy fag was all, "non of us in this room are going home" then he was sent home.

nick is a little toooooooo confident.

sorry nick fans, i could be wrong, it is only 9:18

But they're not showing Chloe's stuff at all, which makes me think they're trying to throw us off her scent.

Santino is crazy. "Somebody is going to be out. Not me." That's bad—the producers choosing to use that quote... not a good sign for Santino.

Ack! I don't know who's going!

They ALL look terrible. Kara's outfit is... despicable. She looks like an extra in some awful sci-fi flick. Santino is going home.

Hilariously, Kara's outfit for Santino looks good. He did most of the designing, though, as if he thought it mattered more what he wore and less what he designed.

But yeah, they haven't really give us good shots of any of the designs, so it's pretty much impossible to guess.

But if I had to bet, I would say Santino's going home. He can't finish anything. How could he get stuff done—a whole collection done—by Fashion Week?

I predict Heidi will torture Nick, but he'll be in. Santino, out. Daniel, humbled and dressed down.

The real luck this week flowed to Kara. She's not that good, and Santino basically designed his own outfit. She exectuted it, but he put it together. He didn't give a shit, however, what he sent Kara out there in. And so—my guess—he's going home.

Admittedly, although I love him like a member of the Tiger Beat teen editorial board, I recognize that DanielV's dress for Chloe was lame. Did he coast...or try something beyond his depth because he had immunity? Still, it sucks he got spanked so hard since Santino has been coasting on stanky designs week after week. Such a producer's move.

God, I love this show.

Love Nick and Daniel looked okay from afar, but up close his outfit looked like garbage.

Chloe's outfit: nice. boring.

Kara's shirt was cool, and the pants were too. Together they formed an outfit that a lazy person would accidentally throw together from piles on the floor. I guess her inspiration was Santino's slothiness? Congratulations, I guess.

Daniel V is the best. I called his outfit "titsuit" or "chloe's tit platform". She looked about two feet tall. I liked those fabrics together, at least.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO LAST SEASON?! Remember when you couldn't decide whose outfit you liked more? Fuckin' send 'em all home.

God I love this show.

A sort of David Bowie upgrade would have worked on the prety skinny Daniel, but the mess he wore was not close.

Santino is still my favorite. Saying you can't polish a turd on national programming, out there - perhaps too out for the Gap Groupies that are posting here.

Interesting how hard it is for these contestans to get focused and centered even on the middle of the big time competition.

Chole might win the thing. She knows how to sew. Judges keep looking for finish.

I'm with you... nick deserved to go. I've just adored nick throughout the show. I was trying to defend his design choice as a conceptual gender critique of menswear last night to my friends... but in all honesty, it was pure shit. Santino has been pretty awful in the last several challenges, but I'm sure he could do a pretty fantastic show if given a few months to prepare.

It's so weird that the final three have their runway show tomorrow morning in new york.

The Jerry Springer effect.

I am utterly sick of this damn show. Santino has been in the bottom four times now and has always been spared. This is bullshit. If it's rigged and plays out like last year when Austin Scarlet was booted to keep Wendy's vitriole seething and Jay trumped the judges' darling, Kara Saun, for the win. The correlation is Kara getting kicked off at the next *challenge* and Chloe ursurping Daniel V to win it all.
