Can We Talk About Last Night’s Project Runway?

“Keith’s male pattern boldness”

Anne Marie – you funny lady!

I was also disappointed by the Keith pattern-book scandal. I thought that they’d open Bradley’s suitcase and find it full of crack- he is CRAZY! Like when he was saying Bonnie and Uli didn’t like him because of his beard…I honestly believe he is on crack, no joke. But he can design, even though I hated his dog-challenge outfit. Another thing…Angela. Is. Crazy. Without Michael (who I love) and Laura (hilarious) she definately would have rosetted that thing until it looked like one big, lumpy pincushion. The worst part of the episode was watching my favorite designer, Robert, create that 90′s sports jacket with the K-mart fake collar top! I hated it, but I do love Robert. I hope either him, Michael, or Uli wins.

Angela’s outfit was dated and ugly. She owes her well made garmentto her teamates who restrainedher from turning it into a clown costume. Really, can we stop with the rosettes already????
Keith’s look deserved to win. It was classic, but modern with excellent fabric choices. I understand why he had to leave. Rules are rules. It’s just very unfortunate because he should have won hands down with Allison coming in a close second. Fashion is about great ideas and taste. It’s knowing what to take away to make you want more. Keith is great at that.
While I think Kayne and Robert are mildly amusing, they have no taste beyond Barbie and pagents. Please!!!!

I love that you’re including all this commentary on Project Runway! I never watch reality TV shows but Project Runway is just so exciting, though I do wish Michael Kors would come back — his comments are so much more pithy than Vera Wang’s. What I like best about the show, though, is the element of surprise. The designer you think is going to win one week turns out to be the designer who’s eventually booted off; and the designer you might think is a loser turns out (sometimes) to come up with a fabulous winning design. I mean who thought Chloe Dow would win last time? Anyway, thanks for regularly writing about Project Runway — I think it’s the most interesting series on TV
and I never miss it! (I think Michael is amazing, too!)

Project Runway is a contest, and contests have rules. No matter how much talent Keith Michael has or thinks he has doesn’t exempt him from the rules. If he wanted to win the contest so bad, he should of stuck to the rules, instead of thinking he was above them.

I love Project Runway!

But boy am I glad they booted Keith off! It was like, WOO-HOO!!! He needs to get over himself – He’s a liar and a snake. He is so “Brion Jobe” it’s not even funny! (Pretends to be a “nice guy” but eventually shows his true colors i.e.; a mean and nasty person).

And can he play his own violin any louder?! The “I didn’t do anything wrong” even though I broke the rules song, is ridiculous. I guess every show needs a “Santino” though. Another “character” I loathed…

I feel bad for Angela. Where in the world did she get the idea that she could even enter a contest like this?! Poofy skirts and rosettes do not make a designer. She’s lucky she had her teammates or else she would’ve gone down in flames!

As for who will win, I think its a toss up – good luck to all who are still left.

Michael Kors needs to come back! The judging is so boring without his opinions! Also, no more team challenges! I need to see who’s who as designers. I love what Michael, Uli and Alison have done so far and they need to be able to showcase their talents! It’s still early in the season and I can’t wait to see what’s next. I’m sure I won’t be disappointed!

Keith got exactly what he deserved.The books were against the rules. Why should anyone believe that he didn’t use them, why would he have them if he had not or did not intend to use them. Also there is the time he was AWOL, he could have been doing anything to better his chances. He knows he is wrong and just wants to whine and get more attention. Poor, baby Keith! Give me a break!

Faith, you are right!…Remember Season 1′s Finale when Kerasaun(sp) couldn’t use the shoes she designed for her clothing line because she received a discounted to keep her under budget!! And I’m glad Keith is gone even though I love all his designs. Some one please explain how Angela keeps dodging the bullet each week? I am so hoping that Wednesday will be her last show! My picks for the final are Laurie, Uli and Allison. Although I think Michael should be one of the finals, but he’s not getting the credit or attention he deserves. His coffee filter dress was awesome and should have won the challege. And as it was previously mentioned the most deserving designer is not the one who will win. However, I LOVE THIS SHOW! My daughter and I always have great conversation during our commute to work the next day.

I think the whole thing is a big scam by the show– for ratings–let’s not be naive-they search their luggage when they arrive ( Kayne made that comment on the show)…so why were the books not taken then? I am really disappointed in the show…And just so we are straight–”original” and “fashion” don’t go together , please!!– its all been done before the major fashion houses just recycle– that’s why we are wearing 70′s and 80′s throwbacks now

He knew what the rules were…Why does he think that they
do not apply to him? I mean without excuses..?
Keith needs to grow up, take responsibility for his own
actions. And not whine when the world doesn’t kiss his
bottom.. Truly Laura…Its also about integrity isn’t it?

Whether he used the books or not is not the problem here. What is, is the fact that he broke the rules, and therefore deserved to be kicked off. Maybe he is the most talented. If so he’ll make it without the show. I believe he’s part of a generation who thinks the rules are not for them. Get over it Keith! You sound like a cry baby, and no one likes that. If you’re as talented as “you” think you are, get busy and start working and get ready for the show. You’ve already had the best advertising anyone could get!

Rules are just that….Rules. If you don’t follow the rules you don’t have a leg to stand on….period. Get over it Keith…move on….

There’s one more offense on Keith’s part that everyone seems to be glossing over: he bullied the owners of Mood into giving him a discount when he went over the allotted $100 for spending. That should have been brought out in the list of things he did that were against show policy. While I was watching, I thought for certain that doing that would be the reason he would be kicked off. Why is everyone neglecting to bring that up?

Right is Right. Rules are not made to bend to one’s whim. The show was right to ask Keith to leave.

I think the producers wanted Angela to win just so they could see what amusing abomation she will come up if she has immunity.

I keep reading how talented Keith was. What talent does it take to throw a bracelet on a dog for a collar? In my opinion he did not complete the accessory task and should have bee auf-ed right then. The producers wanted his personality, not his talent, on the show and that is why he survived the accessory challenge. I can’t believe the people can’t see past his ego. Not only does he believe his lies about his talent, so do many viewers. He is a great salesman, but designer? Not in my book. Only his last design was good in my opinion.

Keith almost had me on his side…..till he decided to talk about skinning cats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thik they were right to have Keith taken off the show but what i am wondering about is What Cain (who has no talent) is going to dig up in the next contendant?

COME ON EVERYONE CHEATS IN A COMPETITION! KEITH JUST GOT CAUGHT.

Guys, go to the Macy page with the winning design….are the Angela rosettes there or not? I don’t see ‘em! Did that red headed mom get her scissors out last minute before it went out of Parsons?

I’ve been an avid watch of PR since its first showing. I subscribed to Tim Gunn’s podcasts in Season Two for the whole backstory on each episode. For the whole scoop on Keith’s cheating – how he responded, what the details were, etc. – go to bravotv.com and listen to Tim Gunn’s podcast. It’s very revealing, and leaves no doubt that the producers made the right decision. Editing is a fact of life on reality shows – get the whole scoop right from Tim.

I kind of knew from the beginning that Keith would be the one to get the ax but when I saw what he did at MOOD when they were buying their materials I knew. I mean, come on, he even said it, ” I will break the rules sometimes when I think I’m right.”. or something to that effect and that’s exactly what he did.
He says in his article to People Magazine that he feels he got a raw deal. He only had those books in his room to use for a line of menswear he was working on. Yeah right! Anyone who really believes that wave their hand!
He felt so sorry for himself for getting caught I almost got sick. That apology for to the other men was a joke! Was that only for a future sound bite or something Keith or did you really expect someone to believe you were sorry when you already admit you are a born cheater. I couldn’t be more glad that he got tossed. Arogance not only breeds contempt but in this case it gave me a dam good laugh. Buh bye butthead.
As for the rest of the cast, I think they are all pretty cool, accept for Angela and maybe Laura gets on my nerves a bit but that could just be the lipstick. I hope Angela plans on giving most of the credit for her win to the designers she was with because she certainly doesn’t deserve it. They corrected every insane thing she tried to do. Frankly, if she were designing clothes for toddlers or small girls I might be more inclined to admire her work but as it is does she really expect grown women who have any sense of style at all to wear the crab she designs? I can’t wait until she tries to dress Diane Von Furstenburg in a puffy satin skirt with , as keith pointed out and his only real contribution to the show, a bag of skittled covered rosettes with black patterned tights and hiking boots. She looks like a complete ass wearing that crap on. She’s way too old to try to pull off a teeny bopper look. No doubt she will end up being one of those old grandma types walking around with overtanned leathery skin who still try to wear black leather mini skirts with tank T’s showing off saggy boops and age spots. Whew! I’m glad I finally got that off my well covered chest!
Robert if you ever read these.. YUM!!! Bradley.. you are so sweet and goofy who couldn’t love you. Vince.. nutty but nice, Jeffrey..scary but not a tough guy really I suspect, Michael very sweet and stylish. Alison how beautiful you are! Laura, what the hell? Five kids..but you do look lovely most of the time. You are all really talented. My pick is alison to win.. I really think she is going to shine in the next couple of weeks and I expect Yummy Robert and Michael to be there with her at the final three.

Well I love the series. The doggie accessory challenge totally blew. I realize people get insane when it comes to dressing their pets. Keith’s design was best and the dog was taken care of to some degree, he should have won imho. I also agree he broke the rules, regardless of how the books were being used or how the internet was being used, he had to pay the price. You don’t bring a laptop to look up prices on the Price is Right??? Angela, omg, you need to leave rosettes to the gardeners. They don’t belong on clothing. Very kitch looking to me. Someone mentioned poofy skirts back in style….deeeeeeeeeeerrrrr…It is not that something is in style just because some lame brain puts it in a catalog or online. I cringe when I go shopping with my wife or daughter. The racks are filled with hoochy clothing, goth crappola, moo moo’s, gangster wannabee’s or to the other extreme with clothing that my great grandmother would have worn…Where is the happy middle ground? I am an artist and I find that the thirty minutes they give them to sketch out an idea etc is pretty unfair. That wouldn’t happen in the real world. Time is precious, but creativity is even more precious. Give them the challenge and let them take their little pads of paper and pencils back to their dorms and come in the following day with a more finished idea. You might just end up with a more interesting line of clothing shown ergo a more interesting program…one last point…Angela, please please please change your personal wardrobe…an aging woman, with Cyndi Lauper hair and a 1980′s young girl clothing makes no sense. Your taste in design apparently leaves a bad taste in the viewers mouth as well. I can’t believe the judges picked you. Mind boggling. They are apparently lacking in taste and judgement as well.

Angela has the worst taste. My god, the flourishes she adds are so tacky, not at all stylish or ‘urban.’ Where is she from, the middle of nowhere? Women don’t want to look like tarts. At least not the women in NY, where I’m from. I really loved the other outfit that was made for the latest challenge, and that should have been in the window. Although I like the asthetic of Michael and Laura.

Of all the contestents, Alison, Uli, and Michael are the ones to watch. I wouldn’t be surprised to find them in the final top three. PR rules. I watch it over and over again. I glad Keith is gone. He had some talent and most attitude.

How did I miss this show for the first 2 seasons???? I LOVE IT!

I’m going all in with my bet that Laura will win the prize this season. She’s amazing. Her designs are classic and her execution is immaculate! If she has a flaw, it’s that she seems to always designs high-end looks which are appropriate for a mature buyer. She needs to work on making some hip, young designs. Uli seems to have the corner on THAT market.

If Laura doesn’t win, it should be Michael. His stuff is also VERY well made.

The burning question I have is . . . why is Tattoo-neck-boy STILL ON THE SHOW? The pants he made looked good, but everything else he’s turned in has been crap. Why isn’t he in the best and worst showdown every week – as an example of the WORST. What WAS that gown he designed for Miss America? Even he described it as “grotesque”. Even though Angela kind of bugs me, I’ll take a “FemiNazi” like her over a misogynist like Tatto-neck-boy any day.

I loved the comment above describing Bradley as The Forrest Gump of Fashion! LOL Now THAT was funny. I think he’s the most likeable of the lot of them. Ya, he’s odd, but odd isn’t always a bad thing. Especially for a fashion designer.

As for Keith. *sigh* Keith, Keith, Keith. What WERE you thinking? Oh ya, you were thinking you could “bend” the rules to suit yourself. What a dope to bring in design books. Maybe that’s one of the things he did when he went AWOL for those four hours – went to his boyfriend’s house, checked is email, and picked up his cheat-sheets. Idiot.

In all fairness, if you can charm people into giving you what you want, you should take advantage of that skill. Keith didn’t force the proprietor of Mood Fabrics to give him a discount. He just asked for it. You’d be surprised what kind of stuff you can get for free just by asking. I think it was a smart move on his part. Ya, he’s egocentric – I don’t know any fashion designers who aren’t. Ya, he thought he was better than everyone else – don’t they all? Attitude is part of the game here folks, and he was playing it for all it was worth. I’m going to miss him and his designs. He was a pain in the hind-end, but he was fun to watch.

Last but not least – Angela. I’m sick to death of the puffy skirt but I gotta hand it to her, she’s at the forefront of fashion in them. Those skirts are EVERYWHERE, and no matter WHERE they are . . . they’re STILL FUGLY. The rosettes just make them worse. I was glad to hear her say she’s “obsessed with them right now.” That gives me hope that it’s just a momentary obsession that she’ll soon get over. The sooner the better works well for me. I absolutely agree that the only reason she won the last challenge was because she chose her teammates well. They saved her fanny by keeping her from covering the Empire State Building in fabric rosettes.

Any bets she’ll wear ANOTHER puff skirt next week? Or will it be another pair of cavalry fatigues with contrasting print saddle? Yikes. Along with Heidi, Nina, and Vera . . . I question her taste.

I have enjoyed PRW this season so far, I think the challenges are far more challenging than the prior 2 seasons. With Keith being kicked off I was not expecting to see anyone else get aufed this week, I thought that it would be a “free” week. I am however excited for Angela and her team. I love all three, I think that they will be the three to beat, they all have their own style but they all now the wants of the fashion industry. I would totally wear their outfit, and hope to be able to purchase it ASAP.

I am so tired of people who break rules and then complain because there is a consequence. Today if you are under 30, you feel the rules DO NOT apply to you and it is OK to do whatever it takes to get by. What happened to integrity and honesty? If you can’t live by the rules of the game, whatever that game is, then stay home, shut up and dont make the rest of us listen to your whining and complaining. KEITH deserved exactly what happened to him…..seems funny the word JUST seems to pop up when wrongdoing is discovered. I was JUST visiting my boyfriends place etc etc. WHO CARES. People who feel sorry for him or agree with him are just as ignorant.
So goodbye Keith, they were JUST trying to keep the show on the up and up. I wont miss you and your “I always break rules anyway” and by they way……wasnt it KEITH who asked for the discount to stay under $100?? See what I mean…he deserves to be GONE.

I don’t think it’s naive to believe that those books showed up AFTER the luggage was searched. Keith did leave the show for a four hour period of time when he allegedly went to his boyfriend’s house to use the internet. He could have brought the books back then. He’s a jerk, face facts.. He did what he knew was against the rules and he got caught. As for his claim that he never used those books, a liar looks at the floor, an honest man looks you in the eyes. He’s a liar and a really, really bad one.
Keith. give it up man. You got what you deserved. Stop being such a whiny little girl and move on.

so sad to see Keith gone like that…too tired to comment more but would love to see him more :p
He’s just so cute.. and as for Project runway… it’s becoming more n more like those typical ‘reality tv’ show… Keith attitude in today’s episode is like he already know he won’t be in the rest of the episode…
anyone knows if he’ve a website or smting ?
