I think Angela does have her great moments when her designs. I guess I am more biased cause Angela lives in the town where I went to elementry school and it's an awesome accomplishment to see someone from our area get on Project Runway. I absolutely love this show.

I love this show. Reading the credits at the end of the show they state that the producers of the show have input to who stays and goes. I am sorry, but I thought that the dress that Vincent designed for Uli's mother hung terribly on her. Jeffery should have been partnered up with one of the mothers that would have appreciated his style. I do not understand why some of the better designers have left while some of the less talented are still in the running.

It is interesting that Terry's comment points out that end credits state that the Producers have a say in who stays or goes. I wonder if the "Sponsor" i.e. INC has something to do with the different demeanor of this season's show as compared to the more sophisticated previous seasons sponsored by Banana Republic. There is definately a shift in the credibility, style and 'reality' in this season. Paul

My wife actually is a seamstress, makes clothes, etc., and watched the show first - and now I've gotten into watching it with her. One thing that we noticed last night when we watched the "mom challenge" (as Angela put it) is something that made me lose a little respect for the show. At the very end when the flashed on the screen the results for the "who do you think should win the Angela's Mom/Jefferey fight?" That was pure BS. TOTALLY nothing but DRAMA. That seriously made me lose respect for the show in many regards. Honestly, my take and my wife's take were the very same; we both thought that Jeffery was being a lot too harsh, he did NOT follow the "true aspect" of the challenge, and really did treat Angela's mom like a #*%?!....and honestly...his design really did look like crap. It was too "granny" like, it had that piece of lighter blue unfinished fabric on the jacket...and honestly it looks like a dress where she forgot to take off her work shirt before she put it on. I think really, he should've been voted off. As much as I hate to say it, as much as I don't care for Angela, at least she doesn't walk around with this "air" like she's queen you-know-what, and totally lashes out on people during a crunch like Jefferey did.

First, I love Runway - absolutely addicted. I was disappointed in Jeffrey on last night's show and hope he reads this. I think that both he and Angela's mom were in the wrong, but I've always like his unique sense of style and was hoping he would bring that out for her. As a large woman, he made me feel like since I'm big, I can have no style. And, personally, I would love to see what he could come up with for me and I'm a big girl, too! Anyway - I think Runway should definitely do the plus sized thing. It's probably one of the best things they can do to get the designers to think out side of the size 2 box. Thanks much!

i personally felt that this challenge was a bunch of b.s.
Yeah the designers got to see their momma's and dress them up, but it must have distracted them from the reason why they are all on project runway. The fight between Jefferey and Angela's mom was over dramatized.

First of all Jefferey needs to be able to hold back take a different approach to his honesty. Its wonderful hes opinionated but everything you can tell is taken personally with him. I mean obviously if he was on the point of being suicidial it shows he has a very low opinion of himself...which i find sad but anyways.

Angela's mom = big baby. I mean yeah Jefferey was a little uncalled for but her reaction...please get a grip. Yeah he upset you we get the point but you dont have to go crying about it. Personally my own family members have said worse things to me and meant it. You should use it as a driving force to make things get better...not get all huffy and make it worse.

On a happier note, congrats to Laura being pregnant...we now know why sometimes shes a little emotional. But go pregnant woman!

I think that Jeffrey is extremely rude and arrogant. His piece for Angela's mom was awful!!! It fit her terribly, and he gave no thought to her feelings and input-rather he totally disregarded her, because "he has never had to make clothing for someone of her size." What a jerk. Big deal that he has had problems in life....who hasn't?? And it does not give him ANY right to treat people the way he does. I wish he had been let go....his design was totally unwearable, and did not do one bit of justice for Angela's mom. Kudos to Uli for her design...and Michael, as always, created a great piece. He just "gets it!!"

Love, love, love this show. I am totally addicted and watch every episode over and over again when they are rebroadcast.
2 things I don't understand:
1. They told Robert that he wasn't fashion forward enough when all he did was to listen to what his client wanted. His client was very happy with the outfit, but for this he got sent home.
2. They told Jeffrey he DIDN'T listen to his client, it was obvious she hated the outfit and looked atrocious, but he stays. WTF???? If I went to anyone, a hairdresser, a clothes designer, and told them what I wanted and was completely ignored and given a product that was what the designer wanted and make me look horrible, I would walk out the door.
I think Jeffrey is a very talented designer, and I thought he got screwed last week with his recycled design. But his attitude sucks, everything that goes wrong is someone else's fault, not his, and personally, if he had spoken to someone in my family the way he spoke to Angela's mother, I would've kicked his ass.
Kudos for plus size models and making the designers see what real women look like. No wonder they all had such problems, they are living in a fantasy world where every women weighs 5 pounds and wears a size 0.
And, last but not least, I am begining to have a hugh hate on for Heidi. It started with her comments last week regarding plus sizes and fat Minnie Mouses. I'm not sure who she thinks she is, after all, she's just a model, too. Not like she is a fashion icon herself.

I just began watching the show this season. Love it! This week's challenge was certainly entertaining, but not in keeping with the tone of what I thought this show was about. There was nothing everyday about working with your competion's family member! Most of the moms and sisters did a good job encouraging their designer even though we all know they are cheering for their own! Angela and her mom are 2 peas in pod and tho Jeffery's style is not my own, I felt bad for the man.

I am eternally a die hard fan of this "reality" show...but this season does seem lacking in content compared to the other two. There is a superficial feel to how the episodes are cut together, and the amount of commercials within the hour seemed to have doubled. I know they are pressed for time (for their sponsors!!), but why are there only a few quick shots of the actual outfits during the runway show and way too many close-ups of the designers and judges expressions?? I wait the entire episode to finally SEE these creations, and then they are wisked across the screen before I can judge them myself. I hope the producers remember that they gained their core audience by presenting a sophisticated program where artistic vision matters, not commercialization. Let's remember our roots!

I am a big fan of the Project Runway show, and although I couldn't sew my way out of a paperbag, I think I have some sense of what looks fashionable or at least decent. It was very different to see normal sized women as the featured models this week. I do believe that the "poncho" look was a little played out, but it was refreshing to see that Michael really puts so much thought into his creations. Reversable- How Creative! As you can tell, I am an huge fan of Michael and his creations. In my opinion it should have been a "three- peat". I also think that Kayne has some great designs, although the last 2 were not his best. The drama between Jeffery and Angela's mom seemed conrtrived, slightly fake. If Uli does another print, I am going to scream, I would like to see her think out of the box from time to time. Well this is my honest opinion, and I love this show. My predictions for the final three: Michael, Jeffery, and Uli. GO MICHAEL!

I'm ashamed to say that I am from the same state as Angela. She should have been auf'ed from the very start! The producers of this show suck for influencing who gets to stay and go. Just because Angela is good "drama" doesn't mean she should still be on the show. I would much rather watch people who deserve to be on the show rather than watch a person cause drama between everyone. Her designs aren't even good! I was only slightly impressed by 2 of her designs, and one of them was only good because michael and laura were on her team to keep it from looking like crap.

Alison should have never been auf'ed! She is definately one of the most talented designers from this show, as are Jeffrey, Michael, and Uli. I think these people will definately go far in the fashion industry no matter what happens to them on the show :)

I think the whole thing with Angela and her mom was freaking ridiculous. Yes, Jeffrey could have been nicer but please!! Angela was totally milking it and she totally dogged him on the runway.

Watching the exit interviews, the past two eliminated contestants have said that they believe Jeffery's of the most, if not the most, talented on the show. I'm to agree.

Sometimes I think good sportsmanship/high road is overrated. I mean, look how we breed our sport stars. I dont think humility is even in most of their vocabulary.

This is a competition and I did get the feeling that Angela and her mom tried their best to get Jeffery eliminated on the runway. I'm glad he didnt get aufed.

I think Jeffery was in the wrong in his actions with Angela's mom. But I also know that age and motherhood have absolutely no relation to maturity, and he's not the only one guity of obtuse behavior.

I love Robert. It hurts to watch him go. But he has bored me week after week and I understand why he was aufed.

Jeffrey was wrong. Period. Angela's mother was his client and his attitude toward her was that of an adolescent having a tantrum, not like that of a professional designer toward a client. Inexcusable. Furthermore, I believe it was no accident that he had this tantrum while HIS mother was on the show. Have a problem with mothers, Jeffrey? Certainly looks that way. At any rate, grow up.

His mother was probably an "enabler" of his addictions and is now an "enabler" of his tendency to be an #*$%hole.

Listen up "Mother Lovers" Just because a person gave birth and grew old does not mean that she has an automatic right to respect.

Crying crocodile tears...it angered me. She would have made ANY garment look horrible, because of her mousy "oh I fell so mistreated" attitude, and general demeanor. I feel she is a sad, passive-aggressive, munchausen syndrome woman who chooses to blame other people than be assertive and confident. And she should have taken her marginally-talented daughter back home with her. KUDOS TO JEFF FOR EVEN DEALING WITH THIS BS. Las Vegas is in your corner Mr. Sebelia! ROCK ON JEFFREY!

I was very surprised at the results of the show. Although I am a big fan of Jeffrey, I can't believe he didn't get auf'd. What he said to Angela's mom was wrong--that is something he should have thought to himself, not say it out loud. I understood where he was coming from, but he was way too blunt (I wonder if the fighting was planned by the show?). He's just so straight forward, sometimes over the line, but it cracks me up sometimes, and there's something about him, how he's so different, that intrigues me. I read that his tattoos make people want to throw up. Why? They are just a part of him, maybe a little odd, but we all have our self expressions. Anyway, I was very surprised he made it--that dress looked so bad--but who could blame him working with someone he didn't get along with and had to incorporate her ideas with his. I think this challenge was difficult for that reason. I think Michael, Uli, Kayne, and Jeffrey are good designers. I just don't know about Vincent--very odd. The only good thing I saw about this challenge was that the designers got to make clothing for real women--not size 0 models. I never thought how hard it would be to design for plus sized ladies--I am one, too. They couldn't design around the silouhettes like usual. It was good to see the designers reunite with family.

I have just read the comments. I agree the focus on Jeffery and Angela's mom was sad and disappointing. In my opinion, a new low for Project Runway. I thought Jeffery's design was ill constructed (shoulder seams puckered), ill fitting and downright ugly. Wasn't this the very reason(s) given for "outing" past designers?
It was painful to watch Robert go. I liked him very much. He may not have been the most innovative designer, but his clothes were always well made and fit well, (except for one skirt). Pardon me, but I thought that good constrution was an extremely important element of design. Robert was a good foil for Vincent, Kayne, and Jeffery's "wacky" designs.
I am totally bored with Ule's use of prints, braided straps and the same style back.
Additionally, I am extremely surprised that Angela has been allowed to progress this far.

That is funny since while she is saying that, she has on a pair of plain black pants, a black sweater and a black and white striped shirt....matronly? Angela should have been gone when she refused to be part of Vincent's design when they were teamed up together. After all, isn't that the same thing Angela and her Mom were griping about with Jeffery? That he was not taking Mom's advice?

Jeffery's deliberate crudeness and rudeness to Angela's mother last night should have earned him a trip home. He took advantage of having Angela's mother as a model to project his venom for Angela onto her mother. He did this both verbally and in the very unattractive dress he made for Angela's mother. That is not professional. Jeffery is another Santini and I would not ever buy anything Jeffery designed. Even the judges said Jeffery's dress was a total failure. So why was Robert voted off the show? Robert's dress was vibrant in color and well made. And in comparison to Jeffery's dress Robert's dress was a gem. The judges have been wanting to vote Robert off and what they said in their decision last night is that they prefer to have someone on the show that is very revengefully, rude and crude to his model. Jeffery is a spoiled child. He is certainly not an adult and does not even come close to knowing what being professional means. Keith was thrown off the show for having unauthorized books. Project Runway should also have rules concerning the treatment of people who agree to become part of the show. I am sure Angela's mother had no idea what kind of nightmare she was getting into. At the very least Jeffery owes Angela's mother a public apology because he deliberately humiliated her and derided her on national tv. I also feel that Jeffery owes Angela an apology for treating her mother as he did. I doubt that either apology will happen because Jeffery is not man enough. It sounds like Jeffery has never had to learn any sense of responsibility and I doubt he will learn anything from his actions last night because no one connected with the show will call him to task for his actions.

Has anyone else noticed that women are held to a higher standard than the men designers in this show. If a woman designs something off the wall then she is told she has bad taste and they say they can't believe that a woman designed it. However, if a guy (ie... Santino, Vincent, Jeffrey) designs something unconventional then the judges say they are "pushing the envelope." The judges need to be fair and balanced in their judging and personal comments.

It was more like "She's big, let's cover her up, 'cause no one wants to see this." He said he's never designed for a plus-size model before. Well, DUH! That's why it's a challenge. I've got news for all the designers who didn't get it. There's more of us plus-size "real" people, than there are size 2 runway models. Susan :-)

I thought last night's episode was fun. It was good to see the designers do something not for model size. That the women were related to them was an added bonus. I do spoken word/poetry and the times when someone special in my life gets to see me do my thing are some of the most precious because they only know me as their son, friend, partner, uncle, dad, or whatever. They get to see me totally differently. As for the designs Uli for me should have won. I am not tired of her doign prints because she does them so well. At least it wasn't a halter dress. Michael...what can I say he is for me like Kara Saun was the first season. Never disappoints and even if he doesn't win the challenge an argument can be made of why he could have. I actually liked Kayne's design although it should have been long pants and Laura's although I would've liked the scarf as an ascot or tied differently than it was. Robert's was awful even he did what the client wanted it was as common as any outfit you can see at any size for Royally Proportioned women. To have something done by a top designer for a woman of that size is not easy but to create something of substance shows what a good designer you are. I didn't like Jeffrey's design or attitude last night. Whether the drama felt contrived or not those words did come out of his mouth and for that he should be ashamed. I know alot of people who are non conformists and have had emotional problems. They have no filter and that adds to their ability to feel like a loner. It's not so much about "keeping it real" as it is about having some sort of compassion for your fellow man.

I have watched Project Runway since the very first season and I must say this is the worst season yet. The conversion to acess drama started last season with Santino. Jeffery was totally out of line with Angela's mother and there was no excuse for his behavior, it's just a matter of respect. Angela's mother was very clear in what she wanted, the bottom line is Jeffery had no intesion of giving her what she wanted. That was clear from the beginnig. Anyway enough of that nonsense. The designs for this runway were the worst ever. I an a big women and I was in disbelief over the designs. The only outfits I would have looked at was Uli's and Micheal's (BTW Uli should have won this challenge). Vincent's design looked liked she was about to take flight with the size of those collars. I am so sick of looking at his design, I can do way better than that and I can't even thread a needle. I wish Kanye would have gotten more credit for his work though, I mean I wasn't thrilled with it, but he made every piece down to the jewelry. I hope to see Micheal(love him), Uli and Kanye in the final three. Their designs are always ready to wear. I would like to see Laura change it up a little, those pluging necklines are starting to get under my skin.

I am a big fan of Project Runway. In fact, last season I wrote to PR and suggested that they give the designers a real challenge and use some full-figured women. I was somewhat happy to see that happen on this weeks show. I feel it was unfortunate that Jeffrey and Angela's mom were paired up, but in my opinion, Angela's mom was dressed like a frump when she came on at the beginning of the show. Granted, I did not care for the dress that Jeffrey made for her, but it was similar to what she was wearing originally with the button down type shirt showing. All in all, I think Jeffrey got the raw end of the deal...there is tension between him and Angela, and I'm sure that Angela's mother was aware of that. Frankly, I dont think the whole thing was fair to Jeffrey. Also, I have less respect for the designers that were able to choose first and chose the smaller sized women. Kudos to Kane for choosing Michaels mom. I dont remember who chose Vincents sister, but I loved her outfit. I also feel poor Robert. He was criticized for being boring in the past, but he went with what his customer wanted...whereas Jeffrey was criticized for doing more of his own thing. Six of one and half dozen of the other. I did not care for Vincents garment, I did not think it fit well. And, if Jeffrey sees this, while I dont always appreciate your frankness, I must say my favorite design of yours, thus far, was the one you made out of the recyclable materials. It was stunning in my opinion. I hope you make it to the final three.

I echo another bloggers comments: The producers should remember that they gained their core audience by presenting a sophisticated program where artistic vision matters. This is less about fashion this year than about drama and cutesy challenges. Tim Gunn in his blog ususally choose the best designer for each challenge, regardless of who the judges and producers choose. Get back to fashion.

First I want Heidi to notice that the challenge they chose last night, design for the average woman, proved one point.

The majority of woman out in the real world, who has money to spend on designer clothes is plus size woman.

Her crack about Allison trash outfit look like a plus size. You could tell she does not like plus size woman.

It also showed when some of the designers had no clue how to design a cute, sexy, classic and beautiful outfit for plus woman.

I am tired of it.

All designers know how to do is make tents and moo moos for us and that’s for the birds.

I hope they come up with a better plus size challenge and the designers had better be ready this time.

Jeffery the butt should have been kicked off that show last night.

He insulted that woman. He made her cry.

Because of his inability to design for a plus size woman he tried to make it her fault.

He is a one dimensional designer for pop star only. Big deal all you have to do is put a garbage bag on, tie a piece of leather around it for a belt cut a hole for a breast to hang out, throw so neon paint on it and your done. Reason he has sold stuff is because his clients were probably stoned and did not know any better.

Ask him to design for real women plus, teen, average, pageant or movie star? Jeffery can't he does not have a clue.

I will have to give it up to Vincent his dress was wonderful.

Michael all ways a winner.

Uli right up there.

I was surprised at Kane great color but plus size woman do not need to where Capri’s and a poncho. Cuts us right in two. Makes look like two lumps in stead of tall and statuesque.

Of course Robert you were robbed. You made her happy.

If you had gone with your leopard print outfit, your model would have hated it and been embarrassed.

The judges would have hated it and reamed you out and sent you home.

The only person who could have gotten by with that would have been Jeffery.

But than all the mothers and daughters would have gotten to gather and beat the crap out of him.

Hum…. Too Bad!

And she should have taken her marginally-talented daughter back home with her. KUDOS TO JEFF FOR EVEN DEALING WITH THIS BS.” C Lew

I do not know how old you are, but as we woman get older, our emotions are harder to control.

Even a commercial can make us cry. A kind act from a sweet person. Our dog doing a cute trick. Or just watching the evening news can cause us to cry and we can’t stop.

The way he made her feel I am sure those were not crocodile TEARS.
She was not being mousy; passive-aggressive she was reacting to an ugly nasty remark from a cruel little man.

Jeffery has proven with every show that he thinks he is the best and everyone else sucks and should not be there.

That proves the fault lies with Jeffrey.

She obviously does not have Munchausen’s syndrome because Angela is alive and well.

Angela’s mother got her own back she worked that catwalk in that horrible ugly dress with style and a smile.

She put the other ladies to shame.

Than the best part of all. She told the truth about how she felt about Jeffrey and his crapy dress. No tears there just righteous truth.

If he had said that to my Mother, who was a lady, she would have took Jeffery in her arms and asked him whey he is so angry.

She was a plus size lady who had to make all her clothes because stores did not have her size and we could not have afforded the dresses if they did.

She would have made him feel good about himself and than showed him how to make pattern for a large lady.

She did this with brown Paper bags and used pepper and salt shakers for pins to hold it together while cutting.

They would have made a beautiful dress and Jeffery would have won.

Of course this would have been after I bitched slapped him for talking to my MAMA like that.

Give Jeffrey a break guys. He came up and heard Angela's mom saying how much she disliked the dress to Tim and she hadn't said a word to him about her feelings. Of course he was mad. Actually, he didn't yell at her. He simply made his feelings known in quite a calm way actually. She acted like a 6 year old...going off to cry!?!?! At her age? Get real. If she cries over something like that I wonder how she gets through life - as difficult as life can get. Sheesh. I think Jeffrey is very talented and I admire the fact that he used to be a junkie but has now made something of his life. Good for you Jeffrey! All the best!

Mom challenge Bad idea! Again Too personal too much Drama which has taken over the show this season rather than the talent. It was so insulting for those designers Moms/sisters who were heavier to be picked last and with disgust and or confusion when confronted with heavier was left to choose from. Only Kayne and Vincent approached the Moms as adorable clients who they were eager to help. Next time just have a week with plus size models or retired models from 25+ years or more ago that have gained weight to keep that professional distance. Jeffery & the show are lucky he didn't get a Mom/designer that would give Jeff a B Slap or worse. Allison's mother was a little whiney but Jeff has lost his mind talking to her on the show like that. Poor taste that might affect his business in the long run. Not so smart. Robert just saw his client and just collapsed again. I like him but he admits he discovered his limitations on this show. Congrats to Vincent he treated Uli's Mom like a princess overcoming the language barrier! This is how you are supposed to treat a client no matter size,age or whatever.

One more thing I forgot earlier to Michael Koors. The statement about plus size clothes looking better if they have some draping...
Wrong! When are designers going to understand that you can have several types of plus size. Young outgoing plus size girls like to be seen as youthful and want to show their stuff in a flattering way! No draping! Many have to make their own clothes or sew well to make darts and waistlines where there are none in the clothes or just to get quality materials because once your fat you're considered old. Not! Haven't you ever watched Comedienne Mo'Nique's Fat Chance pageant for ideas. There is another more conservative plus which is in the work force that wear potato sack dresses because of the limited designs they can find. Then there is the "everything has gone south" plus just like the"everthing has gone south on everyone else that doesn't have plastic surgury. That is where you might need a little draping. Key though everyone wants to dress attractive and feel good about their clothes. I bet a few if any plus sized girls would have wanted to put on anything that these desiners presented except maybe Uli for Kaynes Mom maybe.

Heres how it goes:
Micheal is an awesome person, awesome designer. That sums it all.
Laura is an amazingly strong woman. It's refreshing to see someone sophisticated in personality and taste, yet also strong with her own opinion and in taking the views of others. This is reflected in her designs which are deservingly successful. She certainly is competition.
Uli is a sweet lady. I love her perspective, and she succeeds in putting accomplished stylish clothes on the runway. She also is competition material.
Cayne is a little eccentric, but don't we all love it? His personality would make me go to him for clothes. He's made a few screwups, but the judges believe in his potential. Thank goodness for that.
Although everyone is ratting out Jeff, he has a certain passion in his eye that makes me believe he can make it to the end. Sure, he's a little burned out now. He's tired of project runway. But the greatest designers in season 2 also got tired of the show. This momentary dread is not reflective of his actual skill. Like the judges said, communication got in the way during this particular challenge.
Now for the people I HATE:
These people could potentially make me stop watching the show for good. They don't bring art to the table, they bring drama, and believe me, there are plenty of better drama shows.
Angela needs to stop bloodsucking off people. She's another leach! (with an extremely irritating personality.) Perhaps she has skill buried underneath somewhere, but I haven't seen it in the last few episodes. This show is about the endproduct first and foremost.
Vincent is so confused. He needs a sabbatical to reflect on his life. He reminds me of a cartoon character and is distracting to the show..not a good thing.
Robert is good gone. He was another confused fellow, although well intentioned.

My husband and I LOVE this show but really, there are too many commercials! I know people like Vincent and Jeffrey make for dramatic tv, but Vincent can't design himself out of a paper bag and his dress for Uli's Mom was saved by the fact that Uli's Mom is a lovely woman with great style. The dress didn't fit well and the collar, which btw didn't exist in back, was unattractive. It's time for him to go. I think Jeffrey is quite creative but there's no reason to treat anyone the way he treated Angela's Mom. Yes, she was whiney and the mother of his memisis, but really, he should be able to rise above it. It's unfortunate that he's had a difficult life, but he needs to stop taking it out on everyone else. It's great that he's pulled himself up and gotten where he is but he's got to stop blaming everyone else for his troubles. That said, I do think he's creative even though his dress for Angela's Mom was awful. I feel badly for Robert because he seemed like a nice guy and clearly has talent and he did exactly what his client wanted which shouldn't be a reason for axing him. We're hoping Michael, Uli and Laura make it to the final 3 even though we hated Laura's outfit this week and her attitude's a bit much. Thank you Bravo for having real women -- the average American woman is a size 12, so it's nice to see real sizes. Just because a woman is plus sized doesn't mean she wants to dress in a potato sack. Uli was the only one who got that -- I've been plus sized (have been up to a size 24 but am proudly a size 8 now) and know how difficult it is to find chic clothing that accentuates rather than hides your body. Finally, through 2 seasons of PR, we've progressively hated Heidi more and more -- but her fat Minnie Mouse comment put us over the edge -- the model wasn't fat at all and Heidi's bitchy tone is getting tiresome. Thank god for Tim Gunn!

Love this show!I thought this week's challenge was one of the hardest yet. Also very unfair, I'm sure everyone noticed the skinny moms and sisters got picked first. Designing for plus size is a very difficult so the designers who had to work with the large women were at a distinct disadvantage to begin with. Michael Kor's Comme De Garcon comment had me rolling with laughter best quip all season. Can someone think of another tag line besides "one season you're in the next you're out." We hear it about 6 times per episode. Michael is definitely the clear winner in this bunch, he should have won the challenge where they had to design an outfit from items out of the apt. The man is a genius, coffee filters and it was fabulous. Even I could make a halfway decent looking dress out of a duvet cover! This man from ATL is going far! I'm still heartbroken that last season Daniel was not the winner.

TIM GUNN: We miss you being featured -- you need a new Andre this season!
Your critiques are worth more (this is supposed to be a fashion program, right?) than the crazy drama going on.
PRODUCERS: good choice of challenge (plus size designing), but poor choice of models. Family members added to drama but didn't lend itself to producing the best designs. Too much personal feelings involved. This show is supposed to be about fashion with a little drama on the side. It's now turning into a soap opera with a little fashion thrown in! Get back to it!!!

OK. after Wednesday's "Mom" show. I have to make a comment. What is up with the judges!? I am a huge fan of Michael Kors (mind you, I use his patterns frequently!!) And I even respect Nina for her honesty, but the show is starting to lose credibility in that I think producers are choosing who stays and who goes for good TV. Jeffery is good TV. but his designs are TRASH. Allison is AMAZINGLY CREATIVE but you kicked her off instead of Vincent, who is inconsistent and cheap in his designs, but at least he throws great insults, (harry winston comment??) Bonnie was kicked off for making a cowl neck sweater, in which Nina said: who wears a cowl neck anymore... but that is all over the fashion mags and the stores for the fall season... at least in Harpers Bazaar, Vogue, Saks, Niemans even Macy's.... i don't pay attention to Elle, sorry Nina...
Uli (fellow miami chick) is totally underrated, and is overlooked every episode, because she doesn't have that TV "ME! CAMERA!"personality.
I am starting to undermine the show because now you are only looking for ratings and not quality of design. As a designer myself, I keep saying: WHAT ARE THEY THINKING??!?
I will be very happy if Uli, Michael and Laura make it to the final three. they all know what they are doing, what looks good, what sells and each have a UNIQUE style. and "Style never goes out of fashion."

First of all, I don't think the show is losing credibility. The voting is subjective and anyone who attends design school comes to terms with this. But this doesn't mean I agree with the judges. Vincent should have been gone 10 times over again. While Jeffery has not wowed me yet I'm glad he stayed. Angela's mom was acting whiney and self-concious.... jeffery did what he could. And I like that he is entertaining, so sue me. Uli should have won the challenge though. Vincent's dress did not fit well in the back and it was one sided. It looked as if he just forgot to design the back.

I don't know how the rest of you feel about this, but when there's a good mesh between the Challenge and Jeffrey's skills, the guy can really design clothes! (I thought last week's newspaper dress was stunning.) But if there isn't a good mesh, Jeffrey really struggles, like this week. And when Jeffrey struggles, the designs are generally bad.

Michael and Uli, on the other hand, seem to be able to design anything regardless of the challenge. They are great, all-purpose designers which I think is what the judges (and even Macy's) is looking for.

However. . . . I really don't want to have to watch Vincent another second! I though his design did fit but was (as Tim put it) pretty yawn-yawn. Bor-ring.

Didn't anyone notice that Angela's mom was only responding to Tim Gunn's question? Deliberately trying to stir up the pot between two enemies by involving the mom/client between them? Jeffrey, as always, presumed the worst motives and then complained about her making him look bad in front of Tim. Yes, it was a setup, but Jeffrey jumped into it with both feet. He behaved so badly.
I agree with the observation that he is hostile to women (femi-nazi indeed). Except for Alison of course, but she struck me a girl-child who is the only type he would not find threatening. I agree with whoever said that Michael, Uli and Jeffrey are probably the top three, but I hope Jeffrey is not. There are already more than enough arrogant *#&-holes in the industry.

I love Project Runway, but it seems that they keep designers on that are not talented but add color to the show. Santino from last season should have been sent home early, but he was a guy you loved to hate. I admit the show wouldn't have been the same without him, but I think he was kept on for "color and tension". I think this is also the case with Vincent (model with the basket hat) and Jeffrey (what the heck does his neck say?). Let's admit it...it is about ratings and advertising income and entertainment. BUT I'm sure the show wants to keep people watching by keeping the designers on that cause problems. Hey, I like Michael the best, too.

Jeffrey may have pulled his self out of the gutter and that s good. It is also the past.
He has risen well above it and it is time for him to realize the customer is always right or go broke.
He has no excuse for his aptitude and his style is one sided. Perhaps for his happiness he needs to leave and go back to the grunge market where he will feel accepted and appreciated.
Mainstream fashion or high fashion is not his work. Neither is getting along with people. Again more grunge accepted.

So stop feeling sorry for him people he needs no pity.

In the Mothers challenge show, Uli was totally robbed! Her design was gorgeous whlie Vincent's outfit made his client look FAT, and was poorly fitted. Uli took a heavy woman and made her look wonderful. Vincent took a thin easy to work woman and made a mediocre dress. Way too much was made about the Jeffrey/Angela's Mom fight, which was really caused by Tim. I really respect Tim, he has good fasion sense and opinions, however he was totally out of line approaching Angela's mom and talking to her without Jeffrey at the table. You could see how that caused Jeffrey to tense up and how Angela's Mom was guilt ridden about complaining behind his back. The show only hinted at the restrictions Angela's mom placed on Jeffrey. The whole competition seemed unfair why not have ALL the designers work with "plus size models" instead of just some. Jeffrey had extra cause to be testy since he deserved to win the previous challenge of recycled materials. His design not only looked good, but had an actual "concept" that was well excecuted.

Everybody gave Jeffery crap but the challenge was fundamentally flawed. There was no level playing field - give them all plus size models. They kick Robert off for giving his "client" what she liked. Vincent took a classy woman and made her look worse while Uli dressed a heavier woman with style and beauty but who wins? How about a show where the judges don't know who does what dress?

Thank you for the terrific and interactive website for Project Runway, this is the first reality show I have watched and I am addicted.

The "Mom Challenge" was interesting on many levels, it was a way to see a new side of the designers. I recognize that the camera can't tell the whole story, but I think what we see is balanced and not an attempt to create what isn't there.

Lorraine, Laura's mom said something like she wouldn't sabotage Angela, but she did want Laura to win; I think Darlene, Angela's mom, was a bit less self aware. She used the "I'm just a sweet little housewife" facade to backstab Jeffery. She whined to Tim that Jeffry had chosen colors she just wouldn't wear, in this little "I'm so innocent" voice, like somehow Jeffrey was doing a great disfavor to this overweight woman by choosing a dark blue.

Jeffry was actually being nice when he just wanted her to keep her energy away from him. He wasn't cruel, he just felt betrayed and I agree with him. It was dear how Pam went to comfort Darlene, even though Darlene was more at fault. She just couldn't understand why Jeffrey didn't want her around? Wow, wake up.

If the show had done a before and after, split screen, side by side, it would have been shown how much better Darlene looked with what Jeffry had done for her. I think the judges are very astute and before and after shots would have demonstrated why they made the decision they did.

I just want to add, Uli's mom was the best, she was so gracious. She hugged Vincent and made it such a beautiful experience for him, she is a wonderful woman.

In any case, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and showing family added a whole new dimension to the designers and their challenge.

This episode seemed to focus more on the Angela/Jeffery battle more than anything else and it did seem quite a bit like a set up. As if Jeffery's button was purposefully chosen last because they figured none of the other designers would chose to work with Angela's mother (just because none of them really seem friendly enough toward her to chose to work with one of her family members). I will say that Angela's mother seemed the type who excells at guilt trips. I think she knew exactly what she was doing by critisizing the colors Jeffery chose. And I think she was coached by Angela to say negative things about the dress. We even hear Angela telling her to "just be honest" and say what you feel IF the judges ask you. I didn't thinkt he dress was as bad as Angela and her mother made it out to be. Angela said the dress was embarassing which I think was undeserved. Of course she would never say something nice about something Jeffery made. And I think her mother had preconceived notions about Jeffery from Angela. Thus he had a very difficult challenge in this situation. But I feel they eliminated the appropriate person in this challenge. Challege after Challenge Robert has bored us with very simply designes, playing it far too safe. It was his time to go.

First of all, I thought Uli should have won the challenge. Michael's dress was terrific too -- a very close second. Vincent's dress was okay but that collar looked more like the Batman insignia flashing across a blackened sky. It just overwhelmed the dress. I don't think he should have won. I thought designing for women of varying ages and sizes was a great idea but it would have been better if the models and designers had been paired in advance. It had to be painful to be the last person chosen -- the kid nobody wants on their team. I really hated the focus on the drama between Jeffrey and Angela's mother. I would have been happier seeing the party at Tavern than watching the clash. I don't think Angela's mother is the villian here. All I heard her say was that she was concerned about the colors and she only said that when Tim asked. As for her tears, imagine being spoken to that way and having to restrain yourself for your daughter's sake and for Jeffrey's mom who is crying and pleading on his behalf. I can see why he's the way he is. He's whatever age and mommy's still fighting his battles. I could only imagine his speaking to my 105 lb. mom in that manner -- what you would have seen was Jeffrey in tears after my mom slapped the tattoos off his neck. Angela should have scratched out his eyes. I would never allow anyone to speak to my mom that way and get away with it. It's interesting that Jeffrey thinks it's okay to be "honest", no matter how brutal, but is so thin-skinned, he can't take the honesty when it's directed toward him. I'm glad Angela's mom spoke her true feelings to the judges during the presentation. He missed a great opportunity to show that he can be trusted to work with a client in a respectful professional manner. What a coward and a punk. He should have been auf'd. And can somebody get rid of Heidi? Please.

Last week I was disgusted by Heidi's disparaging comment about plus size models. Maybe she didn't mean it about the models, but that's not how I interpreted her comments and I lost a lot of respect for her. She is little more than a skinny woman who can wear clothes well. She doesn't even design them successfully.

This week I was, again, disappointed at the short-sightedness of all the designers who listened to Heidi and Tim and did what they were told, to varying degrees. Design a dress for your clients – everyday women. B.S. The challenge was to design a dress for the everyday woman that the judges will like. Who cares what the client likes? Surprisingly, the judges did ask the clients, but their comments seemed to hold little sway and the clients were not pressed to be brutally honest (or Laura would have been booted for that piece of crap).

Worse, much the way Santino was berated throughout season 2, Jeffrey was cheated out of the win last week for a clearly superior design (one that could ACTUALLY BE WORN without getting quizzical looks) then told this week that he was wrong to try to compromise between what Angela's Drama Queen Mother (ADQM) wanted and his own personal style.

Had he ignored the client and designed something in his own style, he could have much more easily executed the design and produced something much less awful. The judges would have chastised him for not addressing the needs of the client, though.

If the judges wanted the designers to construct outfits which match the desires of the clients, then THAT should have been the criteria for judgement, not the opinions and categories of the judges.

In the end, ADQM should have been less vague in the design stage, more flexible AND realize that she wasn't getting an outfit designed by Robert or Angela. She was getting an outfit that would (and SHOULD) have the flair of Jeffrey.

No one goes to Santino and contracts him to make a dress "in the style of Daniel V" or vice versa. Someone contracts a specific designer to make a garment BECAUSE of their (hopefully) unique approach to design. ADQM did her best to ruin the show for everyone (but especially Jeffrey) and I hope my comments are making her cry more of those crocodile tears.

That said, Jeffrey should have kept his trap shut around ADQM and not put his mother in a position where she was forced to make excuses for him. In the end, ADQM is gone and Jeffrey is left with a stain on his character.

Let me start off by saying that this show is amazing, and most of you agree, otherwise we would not take the time out of our schedules to post comments about it. The judges do make valid points every week about the individuals and their pieces. Nine times out of ten I agree with what they have to say. The only byass that I think the judges have is for Vincent. They remember him in his audition video, and know that he put his entire life savings into this show. In a way, I think that they keep him on the show because he's absolutely crazy, and because they feel they owe him at least the publicity for cashing in his 401K. Do I think this is fair? No. How many chances is he going to get? He's been in the bottom two how many times? In regards to this past episode, I believe Andrea's mom was pressured by Tim to tell Jeffrey her honest opinion, even though you could tell she felt uncomfortable doing so. She tried to tell him in the most tactful way why she didn't care for it. Instead of taking this as constructive criticism, Jeffrey got extremely frustrated and blocked her out completely. I believe that as an artist (I sing professionally for a living) one has to take criticism well. If you only see things one way, and refuse to try and better yourself as an artist, you will never get far. No one is perfect, and I think all the designers on this show need to treat this as not only a competition, but a learning experience as well. The judges will see that versitility in their designs, and applaud it in the end.

The best show of this season by far was the one with the dogs and this came in second for me because it allowed us to see the designers as more human. The worst was the garbage. What does that have to do with anything we would want in a designer!

Well, frankly I think that Jeffrey is awesome. Yeah, he's not so hot as a plus-sized designer. So what? Even fashion designers don't specialize in ALL.

I agree with several of the people that have posted here. I was SHOCKED to hear Heidi Klum's thought's on plus-sized people. As a model, she ought to realize there are models out there more famous than her (Emme) that are plus-sized and she's on national television putting them down? Wow. That's classy.

By the way, it's my personal opinion that Bravo either needs to find another host or Heidi needs to fire her personal shopper because the majority of the outfits she shows up on the "runway" in look like they were designed and sewn by me.

wow. As I am looking at these posts, I see some really cool people and some people I really want to punch in the face. But I can't. therapy won't let me. (lol...Just kidding). That one night, Jeffery was just stressed out, I know you would have been too, So don't go off saying He was being an a**hole or anything. I am a huge fan of his designs and neck tatoos (they PWN!), and I really hope he wins. WOO JEFFERY!

What made them reward Vincent this time? His dress was average, but by no means the best. The best two were Uli's and Michael's. Vincent has not once produced a stylish piece. Last week's dress, that won out over Alison's, looked like a little kid had made it. And this week he wins with an average-looking garment?! As was noted on another forum, it was the hair that got Alison kicked off, because there was NOTHING good to say about Vincent's work. This show is nothing like second season. The decisions on who wins and who loses have made no sense.

Jeffrey is rude, crude, and socially unacceptable. So what he's not drugging or homeless anymore (that's no excuse for being nasty--note to his Momma and him). His last dress was a hideous mess, and he was obviously kept on for ratings sake. Just because he's 'dry,' does not mean he's sober. He may have stopped drinking, but his soul is still UGLY. How about working the steps bud! Don't like him at all. Everyone else is cool. Love, love, love Michael (he is his own person without offending).

Peace!

Totally agree with you. Vincent's dress did not win for me either. I feel like they picked him b/c picking either Michael or Uli--clearly the most creative designers they've got (especially Michael). The judges probably felt they had to pick someone different. Totally not deserved! I pray that Michael and Uli make it to the final 2--otherwise, what a waste! Alison was lovely. Sad to see her go!

Ah! No! Jeffrey, he has a reason to be so icky all the time. The problems with Angela were probably created and set-up by her. I think she should've been Auf'd a LONG time ago! Her designs have been on the last 2 too many times, and I hate all the flashy metallic clothes she makes, with the exception of the nice 3 piece one she made!

Oh, and I don't like Vincent. He creeps me out.

Well I feel that although Jeff was a bit rough, Angela's mother really asked for it. She had plenty of time to let Jeff know how she felt. However, she waited until Tim asked her about the design to let it be known that it wasn't appealing to her. I honesty would have felt "stabbed in the back". I also didn't appreciate them placing Jeff with Angela mother in the first place. Coincidence. I think not. I really wish the judges would make up their minds on some kind of standard procedures to use. I swear they are constantly changing. Season two they would tell someone to do something different and when the individual did something different; they didn't like it and would say something like "it's not you".

Will you people realize one simple little thing, the producers are the one's that make the decision on what is shown and what is not.
Jeffery needs to remember that he has not the status that would enable him to ignore what the client wants and show what he wants. This challenge was all about making a tough subject look good, and he didn't. Yes he was given tough restrictions but that was his challenge to overcome and present the ultimate revenge to Angela that he made her mother look great and win the challenge. He let his emotions get in the way and he paid for it.
Robert deserved to go home and he should have gone home earlier in the season. If it weren't for the bad designs of previous designers before him, he and Vincent would have already gone home. Vincent should have gone home last week but I believe the judges like people that take risks in their garments (Santino anyone?).
Vincents design was good but I still believe that Uli is getting the shaft by the producers and the judges. Hers was by far the best outfit and the judges need to realize her talent and reward her for it.

Jeffrey was totally disrespectful to Angela's mother. He said "Its not my fault she's an old woman who can't walk." What a monster. I really hate that Vincent won this challenge because now he has immunity for next week. That gives us too more weeks of his weird personality and ugly designs.

I am no fan of Jeffrey or Angela's. I think he and her mom were both at fault for that ugly mess he called a design at which i never understand his designs. Though I think Angelas mom saw this as an opportunity and was milking this challenge with the fake tears and sabatoge, I think Jeffrey could have showed a little more respect for someones mother who is his elder. I did like Vincents design this time, but I do agreee he should have been aufed before Alison weeks ago. So far Michael and Uli are my fav's and I think Kayne may round off the top three with them. Next week Jeffrey or Laura will be booted off. Angela is too inconsistent to make the Top 3.

I'm bugged to see that this show has become about drama rather than innovative fashion designs or talent. At least in prior seasons, I developed an affinity for a designer (Daniel V.) where I would actually purchase their designs in the store, when available. This season, for the most part, we've seen totally weird outfits (i.e. garbage?) for totally bizarre challenges -- I can't really tell if there's a designer that I actually feel like I've seen enough of their style to bother looking for their clothing in the store at some point! I think Michael is the closest to that one for me...he at least looks like he can design great "wearable" clothing!

In order for Jeffrey to have made it this far in turning his life around, I'm sure that along the way there were plenty of people that had to deal with him and didn't want to. They had to suck it up.

I can't BELIEVE that Jeffrey is still there. I think that he is such a pompous jerk. He designed that "dress" for Angela's mom in such a way to prove how much he can't stand Angela. I mean, I can't stand her either. But Jeffrey should have been booted - so Robert is a little boring. Now Kayne will be lonely without him. I agree with other people who said that Michael should win - he is talented and a nice guy. If not Michael, Uli or Laura. I think they are keeping Jeffrey for the drama factor. I have been watching all of the episodes today, and I can't wait to see what happens tonight.

Well, I liked what C. Lew said about the Jeffrey/Angela's mom thing. Angela's mom should find a nice support group with some folks who would talk to her like Jeffrey does, but acknowledge that she deserves her space in the world ---- and can let go of some of those old insecurities.
Angela does cute things --- they just aren't New York. Sometimes I think the judges are so keyed into New York that they ignore other possibilities.

But I do love the show. I would like a longer look at the clothes --- less of people standing up there waiting for criticism, and longer looks at those dresses and pants.

Love you all. M.D.

I am of the belief that Jeffery was completely out of line in how he delt with Angela and her mother. Sure, he has had a difficult life, but who hasn't. His life is no more difficult than anyone else's. He needs to stop using his past as an excuse, or his picking himself up as justification to abuse others.

I am another plus-size woman who agrees that not all woman like or look good only in "draped" or "drapey" clothing. Some of us have sexy curves we want to show off and that's not going to happen a draped outfit.

As for the whole Darlene/Jeffrey drama, my husband and I are both on her side. We thought she had every right to voice her opinions to him and are not surprised she was upset with how he treated her. But even if she was a difficult customer it still wouldn't give Jeffrey the right to be rude to her. She was the client and a guest of the show and because of that alone she should've been treated with respect. If you can't work with difficult clients you have no business dealing with the public. It was up to him to put her at ease and really listen to her, not the other way around. But his disdain for her right from the start, as Angela's mother and a plus-size woman, was so obvious and she had to feel it.

For those who rag on her for not wanting to look matronly when the outfit she was wearing looked matronly -- there are not many affordable outfits out there in the stores for very large women that DON'T look matronly...maybe that's the best she could find for herself. Wouldn't it have been great if Jeffrey could've given her something different from what she found in the stores that would look great on her?

I love this show and watch the reruns over and over. I think that Laura, Uli and Michael are the best. As far as the Jeffery/Angela's Mom thing - did anyone else notice that when he introduced her on the runway he said she worked at the Salvation Army and she corected him and said Red Cross? hmmm - there is a big difference between those two employers. She also smiled the whole time coming down the runway although it was apparent that she was uncomfortable in the dress and the dress looked HORRID. I think that Jeffery used Angela's Mom to get back at Angela. He is petty, and that is too bad because some of his designs are inspired. Unfortunately, some of them are also junk.

I hated how Jeffrey acted toward Angela's mom it was complete disrespect. I mean if you're going to be some international designer you have to figure out by now that not all your customers are models. To be able to design for several types of women is what makes a designer great just like Michael Kors. ;) Jeffrey sucks and I don't defend him at all! Nice neck tattoo. :D

Most of the comments have been about Jeffery and Angela's mom's fight. What about Roberts departure? Yes he has been boring etc... but each challenge is supposed to be judged on it's own. Allison did well until her Minnie mouse outfit and she was cut for that. If you look ay the comments by the judges Robert was cut because of his boring style on every challenge so far. If they just looked at the challenge (with the mothers as models) on it's own Jeffery should have gone. There is no way you can say his was better than Roberts!!

There's a lot of family's that watch this show and if you loose the viewer's you haver lost everything. Also Micheal is one of the best one here. I wish him the best. Coming from a small town in Louisiana he's going to go far if not win. My prayers are with him to win the whole thing. May god continue to bless everyone.

Did anyone else catch that Angela's mother told Jeffrey she wanted to cry because she felt she hadn't given him enough input and that this occurred long before their confrontation? Jeffrey was rude to her, no question about that, but I think she took the whole thing really personally and was going to cry about something at some point during the show anyway.

I loved Michael's shirtdress and it should have won, although Vincent had a (RARE) flash of brillance in his design and execution. It was appropriate that Robert was kicked off - even though his model was a challenge, I probably could have made this outfit and I haven't made a dress since eighth grade home ec, and he was continually told the reason for his eventual demise at least three times prior. I personally thought the worst dress was Angela's - quite the opposite of "casual elegance".

Love the show, love Tim. I just started watching this season, so I rented the first two seasons, and this season's designers were by far the most talented and interesting.

I hope I'm not the only one that felt Angela's mom had a big hand in the miserable failure of Jeffrey's design. Despite what she said to Jeffrey about saying the same thing to his face than behind his back, I just don't believe it - she has passive agressive written all over her. Not an evil person at all - just not one with the attitude to participate in this particular challenge.

Project Runway was a complete disappointment this season. Michael should have geared his stylings more to the sports world; enjoyed Uli's designs and the comment from a judge that she should not move to New York but stay in Miami where her clothes were made for. Not sure of her exact words but she said it nicely and truthfully. Laura's collection was classic and designed for a woman that is for sure and it sure would be nice to see women dressing again instead of wearing things like Jeffery designed. I know of no woman in her right mind who would even contemplate wearing what he designed. He is rude, arrogant and obnoxious. He has some raw talent but should never, never (in my opinion) won Project Runway. Never once in the competition did I see anything of his that I would ever wear. Uli, Michael and Laura of course I would wear their designs. I know it does not mean much but Project Runway has lost a viewer and I am encouraging all of my friends to stop viewing it as well.
