Comments on I Can't Believe It

I thought the look that the producer's friend shot the camera in the midst of the tirade was a riot.

I was a bit ticked. It seemed cruel to have Keith back just to pound him some more about the books and about, well, being nuts. And, I'm sorry, but you can make a case that the producers on PR aren't necessarily the most trustworthy bunch. I mean, why did they put Vincent on the show to begin with? Because he had a shot? Or because he was nuts. And that challenge he won? Please. And having a final four, instead of a final three?

They fuck with the contestants, they fuck with the show. I don't think the producers put those books there. I do think, however, that it was a little over the top for Tim Gunn to react the way he did. He was shocked—shocked!—that anyone could think the producers capable of doing anything unseemely. Sheesh. Gunn should watch the show once in a while.

LAURA: VINCENT IS DELUSIONAL.
VINCENT: YOU ALREADY CALLED ME THAT!
ME: THE LADY MAKES A GOOD POINT, INSANE PERSON.

I think Michael's mouth is full of (removeable) grill, not braces.

Vincent is crazy as a loon, but I am sympathetic to his rant: they washed his drycleaning, even though he told them not to, and put a note on. His shirts were ruined. I'd be pissed too. Given that he's clearly, uh, high-strung, I think it's plausible that they did it on purpose to provoke some theater. Which they got.

If they'd ruined Kayne's or Michael's clothes, the uproar would be deafening. Normally laughing at Vinnie's antics is fun, but this looked a little too much like baiting the cripple to me.

It was funnier than hell when they could hear him still raving on the street from up on the roof.

Watching the whole bunch gang up on Keith's lying "wasn't me!" ass was good too.

Dan, I hear you, but I think this would have been the perfect opportunity for Keith to say "Hey look, I fucked up and acted unprofessionally and for that I'm sorry. I am a great designer and I'm going to kick all yer asses in the field. Au Revoir". Or "Hey, maybe I didnt' read the fine print, but I don't think I should have been kicked off for it. I'm a good designer and deserved to stay for the duration." Instead, he lashed out with some screwed up "he said, she said" crap and did his best to spit venom at everyone and managed blame everyone but himself.

I don't believe for one second that the producers created this situation for kicks or somehow made Keith break the rules.

The four out of four thing is a cop- out, sure, but I really want to see all four collections so I'm okay with it. It is weird that they seem to foment conflict on that show except in this crucial area. Weird.

I AM pissed that they had Vincent on the show at all and then had the audacity to keep him on as long as they did WHILE kicking off the beautiful and talented Allison, who is among other things, much better television than most of those folks. I think that was a purely sexist, ageist move. She was more talented than Vincent and produced consistantly better work, yet she was cut and Vincent was not. Boo!

Michael had braces, FNARF. How many grills are tiny, silver and have wires attached? You may have noticed he had crooked teeth in the show and I'm sure after seeing them on national TV, decided to take the plunge.

Fnarf, Vincent's shirts weren't ruined. They were rooned.

Why? But, WHYYYYYYYYY?

Why? But, WHYYYYYYYYY?

Dan, even beliving Keith's "the books were planted" rant for a second is silly. Why? Because if was true WHY DIDN'T HE SAY SO WHEN THEY KICKED HIM OFF? He left quietly because he was so busted. Now he's pulling this out of his ass? Sounds like he spent some time developing his story.

I was thinking it was funny how Keith's retarted conspiracy theories mirror the current Republican bullshit surrounding those hilarious IMs.

Fnarf, Vincent's shirts weren't ruined. They were rooned.

No shit!

Also, the whole final four thing is because Keith got kicked off. They had to make up for the scheduling conflicts somewhere. If he hadn't been kicked off, we'd have a final three. Same shit happens on ANTM when bitches can't handle their makeovers and go home- some other hapless girl gets an extra week to pin her hopes on.

I didn't say I believed Keith. I didn't. That's why I wrote "I don't think they put those books there." I just thought Gunn overplayed his horror at the very suggestion that the producers might do something manipulative.

Yeah, Keith is nuts. Pretty, but nuts.

On a different note, did anyone notice how, um, chiseled Kane looked? When did he get hot?

Of course, then he spoke and reverted to being King Rhinestone. I still love him, though.

D'accord.

Hey Keenan, Keith's being kicked off isn't why they had a final four. They've had the final four designers show at fashion week each season, this time (for whatever reason) they just didn't go through the process of pretending to auf someone. According to Tim Gunn's podcasts, one of the challenges near the end was going to be a double-elimination which would have gotten rid of two designers, but it ended up just being single elimination because Keith had been kicked off earlier and they only needed to get rid of one more. His leaving didn't affect the filming schedule or anything like that and I don't see how that would even create a situation where they would somehow have too many people left and have to keep four rather than three.

I love Jeffrey.

That is all.

Sorry Dan, I misread. Still, PR isn't like Flavor of Love, Survivor, et al.

No one says it better than Project Rungay..

i'm with you, mark mitchell.

kayne looked good, but lord, that hair.

Bradley cleaned up so well!

Despite his improved grooming, Bradley still appeared to be on a mild regimen of Thorazine... something that might help poor, crazy Vincent.

I just saw the reunion episode again (or at least parts of it) and Dan's right: Tim acted like the producers of the show were members of the panel that gives out the Nobel Prize or something. Love Tim, but as he would say that was a little "over the top."

Thanks for posting the ProjectRunGay link. Damn those boys are so much fun to read. I thought it was a pretty good renunion show. It was great to see Milan and others. I adore Tim Gunn!

Bradley "Gerald McBoing Boing"'s weird vocalizations remind me of me.

nice gerald mcboing boing reference, fnarf.

kayne needs to ease up on the spray tan a little bit.
