Jeffrey was great this week and deserved to win. And he gleefully tortured Angela, which counts for a lot in my book. She's just that kind of passive/agressive hippie "artist" that just makes me insane. Jeffrey is an asshole, but he's out and loud about it.

And I agree. Kayne deserved to go, but I'm still hoping we'll get to see him in drag.

Angela's outfit was horrendous (what the heck were those things on her ass?!?).

At least Kayne looked like Tom Jones' closeted step-child - Angela looked like she was wearing little kids pants...and that shirt - lord it was ugly!

vincent's cult member outfit was the worst, but one of the judges was from calvin klein; so he was spared for his commitment to basics. Still, I'm not sure how tracing your khakis to make new pants is any worse than bringing along pattern books.

Okay, so Kayne looked like an ice skater on break, but I really didn't want to see him go. I think he's talented and cool. I also like the way he defended himself so effortlessly when Laura tried to take him down a peg for no reason the other week. Very cool.

Angela is fine, but is not a high-fashion designer. Out!

You are so right about Jeffery. What a tool. I do think he deserved to win (despite the stupid crotch on those pants), but jeez, what a little villian.

Random drunken reactions:

Jeffrey is a wank.

Kayne only stayed in because he's been waaay better than Angela every week.

If I had to look at one more rosette I thought I was going to puke.

I'm revising my Top 3 prediction. Michael, Uli and Jeffrey (not Kane). One of the three has to be a complete asshole, it's the way it goes.

Jeffrey is this season's Santino and Wendy.

Angela's not passive/aggressive, I think she's just sorta ditzy. A ditzy lady who likes to make rosettes out of yarn.

My top three:

Michael
Uli
Laura

Kayne, Jeffery, and Vincent have been too inconsistant. And in the case of Vincent, also too crazy.

Is it my imagination or are none of these designers nearly as good as Kara Saun or Jay on a bad day?

haven't been a big fan of Jeffrey, but he deserved his win. cool, cool cool...and the pants draw attention right to the crotch! didn't mind that.. And after last week, he couldn't have been a bigger asshole than he was to frumpy little Angie Mom, so I basically enjoyed his shit this week.
I still love Uli, the colors are great. colors talk to me when I'm stoned and her dress sang like a choir.
so my picks for the final 3 are still Michael, Uli and Laura, but Jeffrey just got put as first alternate.

hey dan, you getting the final episode at a bar thing together?

jeffrey's been an asshole since the first episode -- why are you just noticing now?

I totally agree with you Dan: though I'm no fan of Angela, Kayne's outfit made her granola-glam disaster look like couture. Oh, and Vincent's outfit was, essentially, grey nursing scrubs.

But as far as Jeffrey's outfit being "cool"... er... I'm not sure an outfit that looks like it was cobbled together by raiding the dumpster behind a Hot Topic is the epitome of chic.

Hee! Hot Topic! Ha, ha, ha!

Jeffrey is such an asshole. I hate his stupid ass tatoos too. I laughed with not a little guilt when he called Angela a macaroni gluer. Cold.

No way Kayne is going home yet. He is the token gay guy. All these reality TV shows are full of shit anyway choosing the most obnoxious one to stay to get people riled up. People love to hate someone.

Angela should have been able to stay in Paris for at least a week though. Sending here home right after dismissing her was a bitch move. I hope she gets big with a macaroni line. That'd show em.

jeffrey fully deserved his win and, although it was a total diaster to look at, kayne's outfit traveled well. obviously, that kept him in the game.

boo to angela. she is the most boing person in the world to get stuck with at a party where you don't know that many people but, for whatever reason, you have to be there. i have been trapped with angela a million times, in her stupid why-be-normal wrinkly rosette encrusted outfit.

good riddance, i say. go decorate the fucking statues in fremont.

you know, i really can't blame jeffrey for being as asshole to angela's annoying assed mom. she started right of the bat telling him that she wanted to be dressed in an over-sized smock, and that she wanted it to be purple, dark blue, and dark green. how terrible would that have been! and then, when he dared to not listen to her terrible idea, she started boo-hooing. i would have done the same thing he did.

i still love uli! she's the most consistent. i really missed heidi saying "auf wiedersehn" too. just wasn't the same for me.

There's no contest between Kayne and Angela on this--Kayne made a poor decision by choosing that bad applique that completely Elvised his outfit, but the tailoring and overall style of the shirt and pants were top rate and the outfit travelled well. Angela was a mess from head to toe--the fabric on the shorts was all distressed even while she was still working on it. And the balloony top (with emphasis on the loony) was not flattering. By the time she got to Paris, she looked like a homeless person.

I still think Vincent should have been gone--v-neck t shirt and pants with bad pockets and flip flops? Of course, he must have been dressing to impress M. Kors--it's what HE wears every week (just add black blazer.)

I don't have cable, I have to torrent this every week. And then I read the Slog and TWICE now, been fucked. Why do you (And Megan) feel that TV shows don't warrant spoiler alerts?

Although Jeffrey's outfit was relatively cool, the spandex-y foolishness that he called pants was all wrong. It creeped me out every time he took a step. I took some guilty pleasure in the fact that he had to trek all over the place in that outfit, including baggage claim and other non-rock star arenas.
Yay for Angela leaving! I liked her enough as a creative person, but her designs were ugly. She reminded me of myself when I discovered Sculpey at age 11. I made all sorts of pendant designs, sure I could become famous on my "Meredith" style. My pendants were hideous and my colors all wrong, just like Angela's rosette-covered designs. And, really, who can't imagine what type of clothing a jet-setter would wear? Just because she's never left the country? That was her excuse?
Question: how pregnant is Laura? I thought the show was day to day, but each episode, she seems more pregnant (or at least says she is noticeably bigger).
Did anyone else think Michael's jacket was a little too Members Only meets Michael Jackson?

really, my favorite part of the episode was when michael had to teach kayne about the finer points of walking the runway.

I am so happy to finally see Angela go home. And in such a humiliating way! Welcome to Paris, now have fun back in Ohio! Vindictive I know, but man she drove me nuts. I still miss Alison and I am totally in love with Uli.

Jeffrey's outfit just SCREAMED "look at my package."

Angela's sucked (hard) but I agree that Kayne should've gotten das auf (or au revoir in this case)

The only thing that is saving Kayne is his great sewing abilities. But the evil mommy is right, he makes some bad choices sometimes.

Uli does need to show the judges something new or she will be Auf'd.

How can Vincent put together an outfit that a depressed cancer patient would wear and actually get a kudo from the guest judge? Strange.

I hate Jeffrey, but liked the rockstar look. Michael's hip hop outfit was pretty cool too. I thought the challenge was a good one, especially making them wear their own creation on a flight to France.

I still love the evil mommy. She has a great sense of style and taste. She's also a good seamstress.

I was glad to see farm girl go. She was a one-note non-wonder with those little rosettes. Was just getting sad sad sad.

I still think that Vincent is a plant!

If we've learned anything, it's that Kayne MUST get the fuck OUT of Oklahoma. He reminds me more and more of Daffyd, The Only Gay In The Village. His flamboyant poofterisms need to be tempered with a little less shame. Seeing his face when the judges ripped him was heart-rending. Only an Oklahoma queen would think that that Elvis outfit was "jetsetting".

Jeffrey calling Angela an "arts and crafts macaroni gluer" might be the highlight of the show so far. Why, oh WHY does she feel the need to sew not just rosettes but that creepy toiletty pattern on the ass-crotch of all of her pants? It's NASTY. Go look at her website for even worse examples.

Tom: spot on saying Vincent's outfit is Michael Kors's minus the jacket -- I was thinking the same thing. Kind of disgusting but realistic looking at least. Jeffrey's wasn't bad if you like that kind of rocker chic -- unfortunately I find rocker chic utterly repellent. He certainly won the "most likely to take a shit on the beverage cart over Greenland" award.

Michael clearly deserved to win, again. A little Members Only perhaps, but CLEAN; god, he looks clean. And seersucker is the greatest fabric in the world; I'm amazed he didn't win with it. I couldn't wear that outfit, but it looked like a million bucks.

The final is down to Michael and Uli unless Jeffrey can pull out something really special in the end.

Maybe I'm a complete asshole myself, but I just don't get why everyone seems to think Jeffrey is such a dick. He's kind of abrasive, but really just seems to call it as he sees it.

"God was sober today." I pee'd.

Michael to win, Uli, Laura or Jeffrey.

Jeffrey was only an asshole because he was driven to it by Angela. If I was him, I would have punched her in the face by now. I almost cried when that untalented hag got sent home. Kayne's was way too much, but he's still a way better designer and a much better person.
It will come down to Uli, Laura, and Michael.

Jeffrey called Laura (or was it Angela?) a "feminazi" a few shows back because he was vaguely annoyed with her. Using a misogynist word coined by Rush Limbaugh, and using it INCORRECTLY as well, should get you kicked off the show, or in the crotch, or something.

"Go decorate the fucking statues in Fremont" suggests a purpose for Angela's entire existence, and is my new favorite quote.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!

is that so difficult to do?

Catherine Malandrino's mouth is full of molasses and there are cinderblocks wired to her jaw.

Kayne's outfit was so painful that I was actually peeking at it through my fingers. As if I was at a horror movie. BUT, it was put together really well, so he stayed. Angela's was a mess and it was well past time for her to go.

Jeffrey is a complete asshat, but his outfit was cool. I actually thought that Michael's was much more interesting and fresh than Jeffrey's, though. You can buy something like Jeffrey designed at any gothy clothing store on Broadway. There was nothing new going on there. He worked it and it was well-done, though. I still think Michael should have won. They obviously feel that they need to justify the fact that Jeffrey is going to make it into the final four.

The judges finally realized that Uli has been designing the same dress for every challenge. Here's hoping she pulls out something new and different for the next challenge to keep her in there. Laura's dress was gorgeous and actually fairly different for her. She was smart to realize that she needed to show a little something different in order to avoid the one trick pony label. Plus, you've gotta love a pregnant lady who takes an overseas flight in a cocktail dress and four inch heels.

Michael is my favorite.

Jeffrey is EVIL and possibly a misogynist.

Evil Mommy is hilarious.

Vincent is crazy.

Uli is fabulous Miami Euro-trash.

Kayne is adorable but not a designer.

Michael 4 EVA!

Jeffery is unacceptably rude. I think he's called every woman on the show a "crazy bitch" at one point or another, including someone's mom he met for 15 seconds. And that's when he's not insulting every one else on the show. What is wrong with this guy?

He's one of those jerks whose like "You're ugly! Hey, I'm just being honest!" Go be honest somewhere else, you twit.

It's not a spoiler if the show has already aired. The world does not revolve around your tivo.

I have no idea how Soupytrash can say Jeffrey is "possibly" a misogynist. Otherwise, damn, that is the best summation ever. PR should run it as a disclaimer at the beginning of the show.

It is a spoiler for those who haven't seen it yet, Fnarf. (For the record, I caught it last night 2 hours before the rest of you cuz we have Bravo on the east coast feed here.) People sometimes catch the later broadcast, and since Dan could easily put up a spoiler alert and a "more after the jump," those complaining about it are legit.

BTW, I don't think anyone's a plant. I think Wendy Pepper was in Season 1, but that backfired when she somehow won the penultimate challenge and went to the Fashion Week. I'm sure that these are all truly talented people, but some can't really do good work under the enormous pressure of the time-constrained challenges. (I'm a good cook but lord knows I couldn't hack it on either Top Chef or Hell's kitchen. I just can't create at that pace, though I can execute quickly.) But I bet the casting agents place a premium on difficult personalities.

Two things:

1. Yes, we're trying to figure out when the final episode airs, so that we can book a big sports bar and get all the PR fanatics in town together for a drunken finale.

2. Spoiler alerts? If we were spoilers, we would post info about the winner/loser at 8 PM, when the show finishes up on the East Coast. But we wait until 11, like good kids, so we don't ruin it for anyone—ourselves included. But if you haven't seen the show yet, don't come to Slog, where who got Auf'd this week is certain to be a topic of conversation.

3. I hope they flew Angela home in first class—if they sent her back in coach, well, then they're bitches. And Vincent, ugh, Vincent. Make it stop.

Again, Dan, you can put it "after the jump." Then, and only then, would the innocent would have themselves to blame. Not that I expected a non-defensive reply...

To the Jeffrey fans - there is a point where honesty crosses over to just being an asshole. Yes, Angela was an annoying twit. Yes, her mother wasn't easy. But anyone who goes on and on and on and on and ON about it, then tries to get away with a cutesy "I'm just talking about the challenge, don't take it so personally when I trash your mother within your earshot" is an asshole.

Oh Jesus. Jeffrey clearly was twitting Angela, getting her(organic) goat, and having a good laugh.

Like most applied homosexual arts, fashion can be really, really, bitchy (see also Theater, Hairdressing, Journalism).

Jeffrey rules, Angela drools.

First of all, when did you start the PR blog, Dan? Are there archives? Damn my damn coworkers who refuse to join me in my PR addiction -- must discuss with someone!!

I've said it before and I'm saying it again: Jeffrey uses his recovery to excuse his bad behavior ("Emotionally I'm only 15"), which is unacceptable. I just want him to Shut. The fuck. Up. Is that too much to ask? His macaroni comment was funny, I grant you that, but he's a major dick. The thing is, he knows it, and he knows that being so guarantees him a spot in the Final Three.

I think Kayne is the next to go -- he's this season's Nick with the gay and the tacky and the funny and the big heart. As for Vincent? *shrug* He lost me after the second episode.

Uli is definitely going all the way to the Final Three. I just can't imagine her getting booted off before Fashion Week. Michael will probably win, and the Red (Haired) Herring will probably be Laura.

You all should check out the occasional recaps on the Advocate's website (with all due respect to the Stranger and you, Dan - don't wanna steal any thunder.) You'll all feel better (maybe) knowing that no contestant actually "goes home." They all have to stay with the show for the duration, or else family and friends back in "Bumblefuck" will know who at least one of the losers are. This means that all the "out" designers are holed up in New York somewhere - all expenses paid (I hope), and that Angela and her granny fabric crop circles likely took the plane back with everyone else - this time, not in first class. As for Jeffrey, he may be an ass, but I'd still suck him off in an alley somewhere - and then ask for that skull t-shirt as payment.

This show isn't in real time, is it? These episodes are being filmed over just a single day each, I thought, a couple of weeks total elapsed time.

oh yeah, i forgot about the "feminazi" comment. that really pissed me off. over all though, i think that jeffrey was right to treat angela and her mom like that. well, maybe not right, but justified. or maybe not justified, but i thought it was funny. and he was just going on and on about it because it drove angela CRAZY. and it worked. she's off the show.

so he is okay with me. now if only he could set his sights on vincent. the remaining designers would be a pretty good group.

Olympus fashion week is Sept 8 - 15 per their website, so the final three must have been selected a long time ago. Without knowing it for a fact, I have to say it's not real time, but it probably takes a month or so to shoot. They'd all need a day off.

Well, shit, I haven't seen "ET" or "Rocky IV" either, so don't go spoiling THOSE for me, then. The show has aired.

You may not like Malandrino's mouth, but I am establishing a new religion based on her incredible coat.

*possible spoiler*
If this year is anything like last year, they will show the winners on the Fashion Week website before the final episodes air on tv.
http://www.olympusfashionweek.com/spring2007/designers/project_runway/index.html

It looks like their show date is 9/15 at 9am EST.

Frankly I think Michael has already won, and will be better off if he loses the final. The winner gets to be a slave to INC, which is a pretty crappy gig, I would think; their clothes are horrible, horribly made, and with even more horrible fabrics that start pilling before you even get them home out of the bag. Wash them once and the seams start bunching. Michael could walk out of there today and get a GOOD job at just about any fashion house in New York. In ten years, he'll have that place in the Hamptons he's hankering for.

Did they change the rules so that the winner HAS to go work for the man? Jay McCarroll said No Thanks and he's in business for himself. I even saw that he's showing at fashion week on his own.

Bucket "Jeffrey, he may be an ass, but I'd still suck him off in an alley somewhere - and then ask for that skull t-shirt as payment"
OMG! I relate. I so relat. I live with a Jeffery type person (who has a skull and cross bones on his rhinestone studded cell phone) and, like Jeffrey, he is a guilty pleasure sometimes. the rest of the time he is just a dickhead. Hey, he pays his rent on time, doesnt' do drugs and is clean and tidy.... and stays in the basement most of the time....but someone said Jeffrey's outfit was from the dumpster at Hot Topic and they are right. My roomate has been dressing like that for the last 3 yrs...... I still think it's cool, but probably because I agree with Bucket.

So I just read David White's Advocate piece on the Everyday Woman challenge. Awesome.

Simply put.....David White's Advocate write ups on PR are must reads for any fan....

The winner doesn't have to go work for the Man. The winner gets a mentorship with the Man.

Dan, please don't put up spoiler alerts. Why can't people learn from experience. I learned several years ago not to log onto the internet during the west coast airing of an awards show if i didn't want to know the results before they were aired in Seattle. Don't go to the Slog if you don't want to know the results. It's not a fucking spoiler! Please Dan, don't reward stupidity!

Hmm, I guess it's stupid to go on the slog to check out the gay marriage case updates, or for any other reason when you haven't seen your favorite show, then happen to come across a blog entry all about it. I suppose all PR fans better just not go onto the slog until they've caught up.

For the third time (since no one's answered why this is a bad idea), they can put a PR headline and save the discussion until "after the jump" so only the ones who've seen it (and the stupid) will read it. (And for those with ADD, I'll point out that I watched it - hours before you did because we get the East Coast feed in Denco, so nothing was spoiled for me.)

Oh, Fnarf, if your silly little ET/Rocky IV comment was for me, should I explain the difference between an almost quarter-century old film and last night's latest TV episode?

I don't think it's a problem to do what you're suggesting. I think some of us are just reacting to the apparently indignant nature of the "spoiler" postings. Yes, something was spoiled for you, but it's not technically a spoiler, and so it's not like Dan, or any other poster, has committed an internet faux pas.

In his podcast, Tim says that Angela flew home the next morning. It sounds like the other designers are in Paris for part of the next challenge.

I saw the show last night, but I think the spoiler debate is a little like the marriage equality debate. "There's something that I can do, that costs me nothing, that in no way affects my enjoyment of the post, that will vastly improve a few people's enjoyment of the post, but fuck 'em. I'm just not going to because I don't want to."

Also, I like Jeffrey. I do not like bad mommy.

Also, I would think Dan could appreciate the request for posting the results after the jump. http://www.thestranger.com/blog/2006/02/who_will_be_out.php.

Considering the editorial department only recently figured out what NSFW means, I suppose I was asking for it...

After just now finishing the episode I can finally read the slog. I was too scared earlier because last week the winner was in the fucking slog rss headline on my google homepage. Please put it under a jump!

Oh, so your need to remain in the dark about recently-aired TV programs is a HUMAN RIGHT STRUGGLE, now, is it? Wow.

Dude, Fnarf, stop pulling this stuff out of your ass.

Fnarf,

Mad love, but the point is not that seeing the winner of PR is a civil rights issue. The point is that it's no skin off anyone's dick to put it below the jump. Not to do it is just dickish.

Most metaphors don't bear close examination.

I mean, if people are okay with spoilers, I guess I'll start jumping onto slog here at 8pm with who won and who got auf'd.

Does anyone know what Jeffrey's tattoo says? You know the one that makes him look deformed like a turtle? Angela's mom was a big fucking baby and deserved to be tormented. And Angela needed to go and Vincent needs to go and Kayne should go back to his pageant business and Jeffrey will go because he is inconsistent and Uli is boring. I adore bad mommy only because i love the picture of her loft in nyc where some words are projected onto a wall while her kids pound each other. Also, the genius reaction to her pregnancy..."I'll just throw this one on the pile with the rest of the kids."

Michael will win and he will not be done in by the man. He is too cool.

On Catherine Maladrino: on Tims podcast he says they had to do many takes for the elimination because Catherine was so effusive about how god-awful Angela's outfit was.
It turns out "you look like you are from another planet" was the nicest thing she said.

Jeffrey is an asshole because he was the ugly little shit who got picked on in high school, college, probably his whole life. All those nasty tattoos don't hide how ugly he is inside and out.

I love this site... I stumbled across it trying to get yet another fix of project runway. I have just finished watching yet another marathon. I cannot get enough of it... I love the mixture of the personalites.... I think Jeffrey is great too, plus his model walks like a horse, what's not to love about that.
