I can't believe Vincent has won! I sat there watching the show and was shocked! I have hated his garments in the past, but now, we get to see his true colors and see what he can really do.

However, I am so sad that Robert had to go! I loved his previous designs, (not the Jackie O number though. *shudders*) Personally, I would have liked to have seen Jeffery go. His design did not compliment his client and he did it his own way! In the end, neither were happy.

But what can one do? Simply continue to watch the show and hope that Kayne, Laura, and Uli make it to the final three!

How is Jeffrey able to get away with treating Angela's mother with so much disrespect? It's so appalling and that he remains on the show after such dispicable behaviour as well as a poorly made design.

Robert, at least, tried to please his model, though it wasn't outstanding, it was what she liked.

What if Jeffery's mother was treated this way? I can only imagine how he would have reacted.

Jeffrey's mother; as co-dependent to her addict son, didn't even apologize for his actions....double slap of disrespect.

I think Vincent just won on virtue of him making something actually WEARABLE for once. Sad to see Robert go, but not surprised (and neither was he apparently).

Jeffrey wasn't wrong about her inability to express what she actually wants, but he was far overly harsh to her. How would you even possibly keep clients like that.

As a plus-size myself I was dismayed (but not surprised) at the designers falling into the same fat-clothing cliches. Uli's outfit was pretty, but still had that tent feel. But a lot of the women said they liked it, so I guess that's why I can't find anything decent in my size.

Jeffery should have been booted off the show for his inability to get along (and insult) a client. Not only did he show disrespect to someone of age, he actually thought she (Angela's mother) would sabotage him on purpose! He is very paranoid and so high on himself. He actually gives that nut Vincent a run for his money. If Jeffery can't get along with a co-worker's mother, how on earth is he going to produce a winning line for a number of individuals or follow rules (for instance if he won)? Angela's mother deserves an on air apology. Angela deserves kudos for keeping her mom in there. I would have pulled mine out.

Although Vincent's dress was nice, I think Michael should have had his "hat trick" with this particular challenge. His dress was hip, well constructed, flattering, AND REVERSIBLE!!! How much better could you get. Even though Robert's dress looked like Omar the Tent Maker was the design consultant, it was better than that mish-mash of fabrics Jeffrey chose for Angela's mom. That and the fact Jeffrey is so confrontational should have been enough to allow us to watch Jeffrey packing up his workstation. By far, his was the worst outfit on the runway, although there were quite a few runner-ups for bomb of the episode.

Jeffery should have been out! Out, out, out. His design was hideous as was his behavior. That was an older, reserved woman who didn't know much about fashion and he was rude, unkind and hurtful. Then he designed the most revolting ensemble I've ever seen. Angela's mom was a sport to have worn it; I would have refused and walked the runway in my skivvies. Now that's a scary thought!

I still don't get the love affir with Vincent and Jeffery. I don't see it, I keep looking for the promise the judges seem so dead set on finding. It ain't there folks...you seem to be leaving us with them to talk about and not getting down to business between the really talented designers.

He was just being evil because he didn't get a more petite model - not to mention getting the mother of the person he despises the most. And he most certainly did not give her what she asked for! Exactly what "point of view" did that disaster express? The "I'm an obnoxious, egotistical, jerk with questionable talent and taste" point of view? He should've been out - imho, of course.

Okay, I'm done. This is my first time to state my opinion since I began watching PR. After reading everyone's opinion from last week's episode, I am inclined to agree that this show is a farce! I admit that I never even knew about the first season, but have since brought myself up to date. I really enjoyed the second season of PR and, even though I may not have agreed with everything, I could see where they were coming from. The third season has me perplexed. What was Robert supposed to put on the model that he had?!? She couldn't even WALK down the runway...she WADDLED! The fact that he was thinking of his model's plus size and her comfort should have been enough to keep him on the show. Isn't that what has been said in other shows as recently as last week?!? Oh, but I forgot, it's all about the drama. So, of course, Angela (who should have been gone three weeks ago) and Jeffrey (who should have been gone just because of the way he treated his model...oh, and his crappy clothes) are the people who get to stay. Producers of Project Runway...you suck!

I loved this episode with the moms and sisters. I think that designers need to know how to design for bigger women as well as smaller. Jeffrey's attitude was totally unacceptable. He will not always be making clothes for size 2 women. Also, the way he treated Angela's mom was uncalled for. He should've apologized for one and he should have used the colors that she wanted. Instead of coddling him Jeffrey's mom should've smacked him upside the head.

I am wondering how much of the actual interaction between the designers and the models is actually told to the judges? I believe Jeffrey would be history if they are privy to it. How you treat your customer is very much part of your success as a designer. Tonight we learned why it exists; because he is treated by his Mom like a victim so he acts like he is two yrs old and has a verbal tantrum whenever he isn't happy.

I absolutely loved the idea of this challenge. Designing clothing for the less than perfect figure, particularly the plus size women, really shows if the designer has any real concept of what looks good on who. I thought Uli should have won.

Vincent's dress was okay, one of his better efforts but I didn't think it should have won.

I think that the designers should all have had plus size models to even the playing field. I also think it was not wise to use relatives if the designers weren't going to work with their own family members. Robert's sister was darling but not from the same era as many of the moms and not a plus size. Yes, his dress was darling, but Uli made her model simply darling and she was a plus size. Plus size women want to look fashionable and attractive just like everyone else. Uli showed that this was possible.

Dear Project Runway,
I hate to admit that as I grow older I am beginning to sound like my mother, but in this case I believe that I am dead on when I am proud to say that my mother taught me to respect my elders. The manner in which Jeffrey treated Lorraine's mother was absolutely atrocious. He should have been auf'd right there in the design room. How can he possibly call himself a designer when he doesn't listen to what his client has to say and then is a complete toad, (and he looks like one, too) to an obviously very delightful lady. His own mother should have jack-slapped him right there. You would think that a young man who had lived on the streets would have learned a little humility and respect. I must say that I think his mother should have drowned him at birth for being a bad seed. It is just a shame that he actually procreated. One can only hope that his childs mother has a heavy hand in raising him or he will turn out to be jerk junior.
Sincerely,
one who does respect and honor her elders.

I wish the judges would be consistent in what criteria they use in making decisions as to who goes and who stays. One week, it is decided on the actual outfit for that challenge and the next, it is decided based on how the designer has done over the last few challenges. Eg. This week Robert was voted off for being boring each week. Last week, Allison was voted off for her "recycled" outfit with no consideration given for her preious efforts. Someone please explain this discrepancy.

Interesting show. I really enjoyed seeing the designers dealing with real women. I am a size 20W Short (sometimes tags say 20w petite which I consider an oxymoron LOL) and I wanted to see what some of these talented people would do.

Uli's outfit was terrific, although I like things more fitted. It surely looked wonderful on Kayne's mom. It made me think about prints and seeing that they can be subtle and work with a person's coloring. Lately my family has told me that some print fabrics I have bought look too bright - I am 55 and maybe I don't see things as clearly as I used to LOL - too much animal print.

However, Some of the rest of the designs for the larger models looked like stuff out of the Simplicity pattern catalog 5 years ago.

Vincent's dress did look good on TV and I guessed he would be the winner.

I plan to steal Michael's idea - I love love love shirtdresses and reversable doubles the options. Man does he get a lot done in a short time.

Laura had a problem with seeing whether her model was short or long waisted. I am long waisted so a short top is great - this one needed to go the other way and I didn't like it and I usually like Laura's designs.

Jeffrey was in a tough spot. Clueless and scared. He is normally rude anyway and at first I was totally shocked at him calline Darlene the B word. He was exagerating what had actually happened. He was so locked up into his own needs and fears that he didn't realize that she might be sensitive. We plus sizes can be sensitive about clothes and our weight. And then I had to think - I often over-react in a similar way. Just ask my family. I am especially vulnerable when I am designing and confused. I once did a dress for a woman for a musical who was a different shape at every fitting because she wore different girdles and long line bras - and to this day I do not know how I ended up with the back seam being 1.5 inches longer on one side. I just turned it under and tacked it down. She was nasty to me about it and the next day was tech dress so "I made it work."

I am every day trying to learn to behave better in tough situations. Sometimes I fail. Jeffrey - please try. Breathe. You cannot treat people this way and always escape the consequences like you did this time.

I also have to say that my biggest complaint about the clothing industry is dresses in plus sizes they are usually hideous baggy sacks that make us look 100 pounds heavier than we are. Just had to vent a little.

Deputy Rat finally got the shove off ... ho hum.

I've been a Jeffery fan since episode1 -- he has simply been ROBBED on at least 3 occasions. But in this instance, I did lose some sympathy for him.

While it is true that just because you are paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you, he should have known the minute he was saddeled with Angelas mom that the only way to get by was to due some serious cotton ball chewing. I thought that what he produced did a good job of drawing attention up to the womans face and neck and away from her body.

The other three designers with plus size women all copped out -- Uli and Sheriff Rat essentially produced the same thing and in Uli's case, if Jeff or Vincent (or Santino) had sent that down the runway they would have been accused of going over the top.

Vince deserved to win -- the garment definitely met the challenge spec of "everyday womaness" but the flaring collar and kewl lil' buckle added a keen flair. I'm surprised that noone took him to task for his tailoring on that job, however.

Y is Angela still here ? She made Laura's mom look like a Goth Pocohantas.

Vincent! Loved the collar. I know, I know, I'm the lone fan of the V-man, but this dress was cool. It had attitude for days, was sleek and fun, and I liked it.

I expected Uli to win and Vincent to come in second. I loved her floaty print, anchored by the slimming stripes. Loved the soft colors (for older skin tones, perfect). Loved it all.

I did not get a lot of the other clothes this week. I was puzzled by the reliance on basic black (I'm only wearing black until they make something darker ... ) I was confused by Robert's reliance on solids, and remembered the sage advice from one of my friends (a plus-size undergrad): "My mom always says that I can't wear red. It makes me look like the broad side of a barn."

True. Big solid red lady. Barn.

Plus does not equal plain. Too many solids don't trick the eye and elongate the shape.

I don't know why the judges hated Kayne's coral ensemble so much. I thought it brought out Michael's mother's skin tones and was a fun daytime outfit.

Tim, next time you turn loose designers in Mood, please stop them before they buy more black (yawn) and drag them kicking and screaming down the magic Uli aisle...You know, prints!

Carry on!

I think its horrible that she got so upset and I felt so bad for her, but what was Jeffrey supposed to do? I think he handled it a lot better then I would have. Especially since she was dogging Jeffery to Tim when Jeffery wasn't there to defend himself (and she conviently shut up when Jeffery did get there). And Jeffery tried to be polite and say that he hoped that she would like her outfit, but that he just couldn't talk to her right then. I think that even if Jeffery had apolgized and made things right - Angela's mom still would have worked against him. Then on the runway, Angela and her mom totally trashed Jeffery! No one else said anything bad about ANY of the other designs - NO ONE!!! The guy who got auf'd...he gave his customer what she wanted and his outfit was made very well. Yea it was kinda boring. But Angela's outfit was awful, just awful!! It didn't fit well, it was ugly and tacky, totally inappropriate for a curise (which was what she was creating the outfit for), and I don't think thats what her customer wanted - or expected. The only two designs that Angela made that looked good - were the ones that she had help with. They weren't her design. The first design was made with Laura and Michael; so helloo, course it going to look great! And the second, she just copied the dress that Audry Hepburn HAD ON IN THE PICTURE! Thats the only two of Angel's designs that have ever looked good...EVER!! So how did she even get this far?? And I totally think Jeffery should have won last week...what do the judges have against him??

Plus size women are sexy . . . and fit matters regardless of size. And as much as I love Robert he failed tonight, as did Jeffrey! And everytime I go shopping on plus size racks and I am frustrated by the junk that is there I will think about these designers because I think so few designers really think about dressing a woman who is above a size 14 so that she can look elegant and beautiful!

I could see at other times the spark of talent in Robert and I just do not understand why when it comes to producing for competition he just had such a problem. Bless his heart. I am so sad to see him go, and much sadder to see Jeffrey stay. Yes, Jeffrey may have a sad past, but that has no place in the competition either, and his behavior is just terrible. When he was weeping his tears (how about the tears he caused others to shed?) because Robert had to leave, telling his mother that others there weren't good people but Robert was, that was an amazing statement coming from someone who just flat would not bend, would not soften, would not forgive, would not heck, who knows....I hate describing that sort of behavior. It comes across as arrogance, but of course it due to terrible insecurity....no sympathy is deserved when one stomps on everyone in one's path, though. If he were to use 50% of the energy he expends on sheer hatefulness in design creativity, he MIGHT win one week! Instead of whining when others, who deserve to win, do win. Now that I have acted like a child and had my tantrum, let me say I am going to miss Robert...I actually liked his take on Jackie O. It didn't look like Jackie, but I loved the little black top separate from the suit, and I liked the suit...it would be great as long as one didn't have to sit or do anything that would wrinkle it, and I loved his design offering the week of the pets. That was a stunning combo of skirt and blouse...great movement, I just loved it. Robert, if you read blogs, go out there and be adventurous! You have got what it takes! Don't be discouraged! Anyone who could survive Mizrahi!
I didn't like this competition. I think that it was unfortunate, that it put these designer's loved ones in a very bad position, i.e. Angela's mother, who was in the position to be abused by Jeffrey, AND WAS! While Jeffrey's mother was treated very well. I just think that the designers could have really shone designing for their loved ones, and that good reality t.v. wasn't worth the hurt we watched that woman go through. She was a class act in that she didn't get on that stage and expose Jeffrey for the scoundrel he is. I also think that it is unfortunate to put the designers in the position of having to possibly embarrass the less than perfect models, when if they had actual Plus Size models to work with, there would have been no problem, they could have gotten down and measured and hammered out details that would have been invasive and hard for the mothers and sisters of their co-contestants.
I was really happy to see that Vincent redeemed himself. I was beginning to worry about him, that he couldn't pull it together, that he only had the green dress and none other in him. Kudos, Vincent! Hopefully this will open up the floodgates, rather than make him overconfident.
I was so happy to see Uli step out of her usual flowy sundress. She still designed a flowy top, but that was still coloring outside the lines and it was great...she took in to consideration the body type she was working with and it was smashing! I loved it!
I thought Michael's reversible shirtdress was good...it was versatile...not his best to date, but still original, tasteful, well made, and a step above...after all, who else would make a reversible dress? That guy is just good, that is all there is to it!
I think that Angela needs to work on range of design. She has shown that she has the talent...yes, Jeffrey, she has TALENT! But, she wasn't able to take into consider-ation the age of her model. The stark black may have been Audrey Hepburn, but only when used with a classic style...that fringe was not it. It was too bohemian, too young, while on an older styled garment...just didn't work.
Kayne's colors were great. He got that his model liked color, but he put her in something that looked like it came from K-Mart and not in a good way. I know that he can do better than that. Just like he could have done better last week. Don't rest on your laurels, Kayne. (Like he is going to read the blogs, ha.) His model could have been put in a silky, flowy, colorful dress that just swept along as she came down the runway....as he has done in the past, and he could have walked away as winner. I just thought this was kind of a tailor made assignment for him, for some reason.
I thought that Laura's nautical wear was a little young. It would have been really cute on someone younger. I think that maybe the high waist has run its course for awhile. I liked the blouse and its tie...that looked great. Even some nice tailored, wide-legged pants, cuffed perhaps, with a wide belt? But not with the nautical double buttons...that was a little too kiddish. My husband and I laughed till we almost died when she said she was pregnant and her mother didn't know! Oh my word...that was too rich, ha. Then when she said she would just through the new baby on the pile with the others, oh my word, anyone who says she doesn't have a sense of humor doesn't know funny! WE LOVE LAURA! And we love her designs! Laura, I am watching you, my mannequin is sitting here waiting for me to copy your lace dress for me to wear...not quite the deep vee, though....my chest is too big!
I am hoping that Jeffrey, like Santino in last year's episode, watches the show and sees just how terrible his behavior has come across and has a real awakening as to how he is perceived. He really, really makes it difficult to even give his designs a fair shake when his behavior is so heinous. When the final three last year were taken to meet the woman who puts together Fashion Week, who literally chooses who has what spot in the tents, one piece of advice she gave Chloe, Santino, and Daniel, was to be nice to each other, that you won't get anywhere by walking on people and behaving badly. Those are good words to live by. Let's hope that Jeffrey hears them before it is too late. Right now, my votes for the final three go to Laura, Michael and to Uli, though Angela could possibly make it. That is based on what I have seen of design caliber thus far. See you next week!

This is my first PR blog and I can't think of a better time to join in the dish. Vincent won! My jaw is dragging the floor. He actually came up with an appropriate and very nice outfit. Angela, wow...back to bad basics. Was she more involved with the understandable drama with her mom than the dress? She should have gotten revenge on Jeffrey by making a knock out dress for Laura's mom. Laura finally learned that an outfit that is good looking on her body type isn't necessarily so good looking on another persons body type. Jeffrey finally found out what they really think about his clothes, not good. I admit it, if that had been my mom I would have popped Jeffrey. Unfortunately Robert is now gone. They gave him chance after chance and he was too afraid to take chances. Future PR contestants take note this is your moment. Do not let fear get in your way, or stop your viewpoint.Thanks for reading. Tim , love you and the show lots.

All the black on the runway was so boring (Vincent, Angela, etc.) and Jeffrey was simply awful as was his tent dress.

It was sad to see Robert go but his designs have really fallen apart so I guess it was really his time to go.

I agree that Michael's dress was a better design, but Tim Gunn's bias is coming through. From watching the shows, it seems well-grounded, possibly. Uli is really brilliant. I'd love to see her and Michael in the finals. In my opinion, the third person making the finals will be an also-ran.

Tim, I'm glad that you aren't afraid to express your distaste of Vincent. Why in the world he is still IN this competition is baffling. What is wrong with the judges this season? If only they had your taste. You make a fabulous point about Vincent's dress not being a challenge for him at all -- his model was already pretty thin and gorgeous. So I don't understand the judges going for HIS over Michael's! Michael too had a thin model, so it's understandable that he didn't have as much of a challenge as some others. But his dress was a hundred times more creative and flattering than Vincent's. Uli accomplished something fantastic, and it's an insult that she didn't win and Vincent did. UGH. I've lost so much respect for the judges this season. I don't see how they could really understand the everyday woman anyway.

I wish I could be in the room when Jeffrey and his Mom watch this episode. He will see that his behavior was uncalled for, that his client was approached by Tim for her feelings, and that he really has some unresolved issues he should get help with: lying, cruelty, rudeness, sensitivity, and civility.
I actually felt sad for Jeffrey's Mom. She is probably so ashamed with how he treats people. I can't imagine she's never seen him act so horribly before. I don't care what obstacles he's overcome, he has no superiority that allows for his behavior. I don't want to win the contest because I would never want Jeffrey to design for me.

Words can not express how thoroughly disgusted I am with Jeffrey's behaviour. Attacking other cast members is one thing, but to completely humiliate someone's MOTHER is just unforgivable. I can't believe how nonexistant his social skills are. WAKE UP CALL TO JEFFREY: The fashion industry is a very SOCIAL industry in which you must constantly work with other people in order to complete tasks. If he can't take constructive criticism, then he doesn't belong in the fashion industry because everyday you're judged, and not everyone is going to like your vision. And if he can't even communicate civily with a CLIENT of all people, then he certainly shouldn't be designing for anyone.
I am so appalled that he was allowed to stay, not only after that horrendous outfit that looked like something the cat threw up...but after being so hateful to Angela's mother. I wonder how he'd feel had someone treated his mother that way. Out of all the designers, he was the only one who had to behave like a rampant asshole.
But that's fine, he can continue to be disrespectful, argumentative, hateful, belligerent, and uncivil all he wants because NO employer wants to work with someone like that. He is only hurting himself.
He needs to crawl back in the liquor bottle, from what I hear, he was happier there.
**The judging this season has been absurd!!**

Okay. Maybe Robert’s design could have been a bit more……let’s use the word “inspired”. But, listen, how long has he been designing for Barbie? It’s a completely different customer. And, for how many large women does Michael Kors design? Bottom line, he pleased his client. Jeffrey, on the other hand, was a complete jerk to his client. He actually made that nice lady cry. That is completely unprofessional, inappropriate, and unacceptable. Frankly, I am shocked that his mother failed to say anything to him about it. His history with drug abuse does not give him license to treat anyone that way. Were he mine, he would have apologized to her and broken his back trying to please her. His mother should be embarrassed, mortified, and humiliated that her child would behave that way – no matter how old he is – especially on national television. My mother would never let me get away with that, and I’m 41! Jeffrey should have gone.

And, OMG what was Robert thinking with that "typical fat chick garment" he made? Such a blunder!
I would have rather lost Jeffrey than Robert, simply because Jeffrey was a jerk to Angela's mom. If Jeffrey is going to make it in the industry, he better learn to treat his clients better.

Being a plus-sized woman I was absolutely pleased that the producers realized that we, too, like to dress well. However, I was dissapointed to find that most of the designers had no idea as to how to approach the plus-sized, woman. Why not APPRECIATE all our loveliness, and DELIGHT in thinking of gorgeous ways to present our luciousness. We don't always wear black, we love bold colors and prints, and believe it or not, we wear stripes too. Liz Claiborne's Elisabeth line, Evan-Picone Woman, and others appreciate our desire for style, and thank goodness, so does Uli.
I hope they make her design available at MACY'S for the everyday woman like Angela's was for the young and hip and size 2!

She may not be a model nor a designer, but she knew how plus size clothes should fit. Even if he did not agree with her there was still no reason for him to treat her the way he did. Every mother should be treated with respect. I commend him for his success. Unfortunately, I think he not only embarrassed Angela's mother, but his own mother as well.

Tim - Bravo for another contrarian and on target opinion. I was so sure about Uli's design -- it's flow and drape were becoming and tasteful, the look feminine, flirty, but age appropriate. I mourn Robert's inability to get past the stress of the challenges and strut his stuff. I would have loved to see him use pattern -- so often women of size avoid color and pattern in an effort to disappear when the brightness and cheer of pattern could serve to lead the eye and frame their best features (such as a lovely shoulder, or pretty legs). A big surprise to me was how little listening some of the designers did. Angela's mom said "Dark purple OR Dark Green" not both together. The look was tragic, and it didn't have to be.

That Vincent won the challenge was such a stunning thing I'm left without words. Michael, Nina, Heidi, and Mrs. Kors, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

Well, some of you have been asking for a challenge using regular size or even plus size models. You got your wish this week! For the most part I think it went well. It seemed like such a fun project, and the designers seemed to be so happy to have their moms or sisters there. And how about having brunch with Miss Kors and his mother (not to mention Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn)! Not too shabby a day.
But Tim, I still wish you were one of the judges. I agree with so many of your design comments.
As for Vincent winning, I will say it is the first garment he made so far on the show that I liked! But overall, it was a basic black dress with a contrasting collar and plain belt. It's been done. What about Uli's design? I thought it was absolutely brilliant! It was beautiful and flattering. The pants were well constructed and flattering. But her use of pattern and color is above reproach. She should have won this week.
Poor Robert, he just boored us one to many times! Even though his client was happy, none of Robert's personality made it into the design. It's too bad, because I liked some of Robert's previous designs alot.
Now does Jeffrey have to argue with everyone he meets? He had poor Angela's mother in tears. All she said was she didn't like the color he picked and it wasn't looking like what they had discussed the night before. He is so rude. The garment he made for her looked like a patchwork tent. It was hideous! I was glad Jeffrey was knocked down to the final two for once.
Even though I think Uli's design should have won, I totally loved Michael's shirt dress! The belt was tied a bit odd, or it needed a different belt, otherwise I really want to buy that dress! Really! Again Angela bombed out. What was up with that fringe! She thought she gave the dress an "Audry Hepburn" look! Yikes! What was she smoking!
Look forward to reading the other comments!

And yet again the judges ignore mein Liebling, Uli. While I am pleased to see that Vincent is actually capable of creating a legitimate (and dare I confess it? wearable) garment, I hardly think he deserved to win the challenge.
Uli's outfit for Kayne's mum was far and away the most deserving. Her client was a traditionally built woman. Yet unlike Robert and Jeff, Uli "carried on" without the slightest difficulty in creating a look that was both flattering in fit and design for Judy, yet left no doubt as to who had designed it.
While Michael's outfit was fantastic, the person he chose to design for (Robert's sister) was the closest person in both size and stature to the real models the designers work with every day. Not at all difficult for a brilliant designer like Michael.
I have to admit that I was kind of pleased to see Laura in the bottom tier this time. I have no explanation for this other than I think she needs to learn to broaden her stroke a bit from time to time.
As for Jeffrey, I realise that we are only shown the edited version of any of the altercations and incidents and there may have been other things going on at the time that we were not shown. Even so, his behaviour toward Darlene (Angela's mum) was absolutely appalling. I mean, she works at the bloody Red Cross, for crying out loud!
No matter how any of the designers feel about each other, their family members should have been treated with the utmost consideration and respect. Jeffrey was the only person we were shown disregarding this very basic tenet of adult behaviour. Seems he needs to review to Steps 8,9 and 10.

Michael and Uli are continually showing what wonderful designers they are and I'm thinking that they'll make it to the final 3. Who else? As you could see that when Laura had to design for someone else than herself, she didn't make the top 3 at all, just enough to get by one. That's how Jeffrey, Angela, Vincent, and dear Kayne are, just enough to get by one. Jeffrey could make the final three if he survives any possible knife attacks.

uli should have totally won her outfit was precious! what were the judges thinking in choosing vincent? probably the producers swooping down again and picking the winner for dramatic effect instead of the deserving design. as a third season viewer, i'm getting tired of the lack of credibility that is becoming more and more evident. i do have to say that though, that even though jeffery isn't a very pleasant fellow - angela's mother is a whiney passive aggressive baby and she got the ugly dress she deserved!

OMG! I thought Michael or Uli should have won. Vincent's dress was so ill fitting in my point of view. I feel so bad for Uli. She should have won many changelles and she has only won one. Vincent should be out even though Robeert did deserve to go this time! But I still love Robert, it is so sad he lost.

hey tim

this show was great. what a nice surprise!! I Just think that angela's mom was treated with such disrespect and I am hoping and praying that it was for dramatic purposes and that you don't endorse jeffrey's bad behaviour. No mother should be treated that way even if you don't like her kid. other than that I love the show and never miss an episode. Keep up the good work!!!!

This is my first season watching this show, and I am kind of questioning the integrity of the judging. You send out the designer who's dress may not be flattering, but the client loves it, but keep in the designer who's dress is horrible, and who's client hates it. I truely believe that the people who get to stay are those that can add "drama" to the show.

Wow. These designers need help. Not a single one had a flattering outfit. Michael's by far was the best, but he's the only one that had a young, near size 2 model. He was not challenged, and my guess, the reason he didn't win. Uli's outfit was not flattering (sorry Tim) as the neckline and necklace pointed straight to the belly. It was the first thing I saw.

And poor Robert, he did have to go after so many warnings. I'm so going to miss his whit and one-liners.

This whole Vincent thing is so beyond talking about, so I won't.

And Jeffrey, what can I say. While I think you could learn a little tact, patience, etc (especially if you want to have clients), I actually agreed with you. Angela's mom lacked self confidence. She let you talk her into something then whined about it later. And I totally was shocked you said something nice about Robert. Is there hope for you? zzsnort..what did I say? Oh, Okay, I'm awake now. I must have been dreaming. :)

Tim is absolutely right! Vincent's dress was horrifying despite that he had the advantage of a tall, non-plus size model. I've been plus size, so I know what I'm talkin' about. The only reason why Vincent won, IMO, is because the judges and/or producers are trying to justify NOT eliminating him in the past. Michael's design was gorgeous, but Robert's sister was an easy model. Uli should have won! Robert had a tough job with his model because of her size, but he made this mistake: His dress was something a plus-size woman could wear to a wedding. It wasn't "every-day". For more weeks than I can count now, the show is rapidly losing integrity, I'm afraid. Vincent's dress was ugly, ugly, ugly (no offense to Uli's mom - she's great). Picking him as the winner was like trying to put a tiny Band-Aid on a big bruise. It can't cover or fix the problem. Will Vincent be coming out with a whole line of "pilgrim-wear" someday? And don't EVEN get me started on Angela/Jeffery...I am tired of them both. Less air time please! Tim, you are the best thing to watch on this show!

Jeffry finaly showed his true colors on tonights show in the way that he treated Darlene, Angela's mother. I felt embarrassed for Jeffrey's mother as well, making excuses for her ill-mannered son. Jeffrey may have overcome a lot of problems is the past (as his mother pointed out). However, having horrible social skills and an ego the size of a Lincoln Town Car are not on that list.

As always, Mr. Tim Gunn is sharp as a cushion full of pins and has summed up this episode with his usual insightful and intimate style. Keep making it work!

I am absolutely appalled at Jeffrey's behavior. No amount of personal suffering warrants that beahvior. So what he was a junkie and an alcoholic. If he is that fragile then he should up sticks and get out of the business because it will only get harder. If his mother wants to walk on eggs around him because he is so fragile, then that is her business, but please, don't expect it from anyone else. Pity his poor clients!

Karma is going to teach Jeffrey some very hard lessons...one of them will be an Auf...hopefully sooner rather than later. Personally, I would take the neurotic Vincent over Jeffrey any day (if I had to).

Laura is right about Angela. She is inconsistent and this may be her ultimate downfall.

A word to previous posters. Now we know why Laura has been a bit testy...hormones are running wild.

To me, Uli was the winner of the competition. What she made for her model was the most flattering and fashion foward. She literally floated down the runway. Bravo! (no pun intended).

I was REALLY miffed by how rudely Jeffrey treated Darlene.

Darlene asked for dark colors, specifically purple and green. She got Black, with some purple, and periwinkle blue. If you choose the RIGHT purple and green, they DO work very well together.

She mentioned the kind of outfit she would like to have, and what was designed came no where close.

I think Jeffrey should have been canned for several reasons.

First, the outfit stank, and was NOT flattering to the client......at ALL!!!!!

Second, it simply was NOT what the client WANTED. She DID make her wishes known, but the designer totally ignored them.

Third, the "client" was treated SO poorly, that in a "real life" situation, the designer would have been fired before the outfit was finished. Jeffrey made Darlene cry, for Pete's sake!!!

What happened to the client is always right??? I REALLY can't stand Jeffrey now and want his tacky backside GONE!!! If I were Angela, I would have decked Jeffrey for making my mom cry! He's unimaginative, argumentative, and a total jerk! ( I'm keeping my comments clean...he's MUCH worse)

I had enjoyed watching qualified talent create fashion on this show -- but have also wondered what was in the producers minds to also accept contestants of questionable skill levels, which cheapen the show as well. The show is at its best when real talents face-off. It's at its worst when it portrays older or plus-sized women against a backdrop of mostly clueless designers who can neither design or fit for such important clients -- and further -- subjects those clients to ridicule and condescending references -- as reality "entertainment"? I was hurting, I was so embarrassed for these women. Even the judges comments were subdued -- as if they were trying to do best by clients they'd perhaps not want to work with. Wow. Really bad show tonight. Really offending and cheap. Who thought of this mess?

Funny, but after last week's show, with Heidi's comments about plus size women, I was thinking that they needed to do a show about "real" every day women. I was so delighted to see that this was the theme of this week's show. I will say that I totally agree with Tim on this blog. I thought Uli should have won this challenge. I thought her outfit the brightest and most realistic for an every day wear. And what's with all the black (dark colors) used by most of the other designers? In fact, I want to say dull, dull, dull, dull! Robert wasn't alone in that category this week. I've heard black is in this year and I think that is ok, but for every day wear, I just don't see it. Is this a reflection of the war we are in right now? How about comfortable slacks with some kind of bright top? Uli was about the only one who came close to fitting that description next to Kayne, that is. Overall, I thought Vincent's win to be a gift.

Also, I want to comment about how the show put on air the dramatics of Jeffery with Angela's mom. The show seemed to focus on this a bit too much for my taste. I think it would have been better to have seen more of the interactions between the other designers and the moms. Or maybe a chat session between the moms when the designers were at work on stories of their children growing up and how they became designers. I really enjoyed the part when everyone met Michael's mom and some of the mom's were showing off pictures. Also, the tears of appreciation from the designers to see their relative was good, too. I think a good ending to this show would have been a respectful interaction between Jeff and Angela's mom. Since it didn't end this way, I think the show was left hanging with a bad feeling to it.

Oh my, this was definitely an interesting show. As a plus size woman, I am slightly disappointed with the outcome; even Uli's pattern mastery. I dont claim to speak for every plus size woman, but I personally am not a fan of the poncho. I prefer to wear fashion that looks like fashion (you know, the stuff that the size 0's wear), just tailored to my size. I was hoping one of the designers would create something in that genre, but I was let down. Kudos, though to Michael, for the brilliant shirtdress (although it could have used maybe a splash of color in the jewelry), and to Uli's print mastery. Kayne, I love you to pieces, and you're my favorite designer since day one, but you need to step it up a bit dear! I'm sorry to see Robert go, he added a lot of personality to the show. Also, kudos to you, Tim, for saying the stuff all of us at home are dying to say (and in my case, yelling at the television). To all the designers; Good Luck! (Go Kayne!)

As much as you think VIncent's model allowed him to only work on design and not face "fitting" issues, don't you think that Michael had that same advantage? Poor Robert, he was like Nick V. but worse (he got hit from the beginning). Congrats to Vinny Boy, that is the only thing I can say positive. And I hope Uli makes it to the final 3.

Jeffrey, I'm really sorry your mother announced that you are "in recovery". As we often say at meetings "keep coming back"! You give the rest of us a bad name. Your behavior toward Angela's mother was APPALING... truly RUDE and CRASS. You took your feelings against Angela and transfered them right on to her mother. Grow up. Get recovery... and find serenity... Your obvious self hate is showing through your actions. I hope you do get kicked to the curb... I wouldn't want to wear anything your hateful self ever made.

Jeffery Sebella is an insufferable boar! He should have been thrown-off this time -- the outfit he put on Darlene was tastless, ugly, and ill-fitting. And, he was downright nasty to her -- why reward such patent disrespect?

Moreover, he's such a paradoy of suburban angst with those tatoos -- every Starbucks has a tatooed barista these days -- each and every one inked up in an effort to be unique. Unfortunately, we know from the childhood photo with the braces on his teeth and designer haircut that Jeffery had a privileged, upperclass childhood and he chose to throw it all away partying his ass off.

As a viewer, it's interesting to compare and constrast Jeffery's bio to Santino's -- Santino wa a bi-racial kid caught between two cultures and living in public housing. (Real hardships -- not something "invented" to justify bad choices.) Yet, Santino managed to channel that adversity to become a creative success and envy of the neighborhood. And, Santino grew and changed through his experiences on Project Runway. Don't look for that happening with Jeffery -- he's 's just running a confidence game. Please, give him the boot, soon.

Instead of taking this opportunity to grow as a designer, to learn about designing for the majority of women in America, he chose to make her the laughing stock of the show. What an ass he has shown himself to be. Pulling himself out of the gutter doesn't earn him the right to be a jerk.

I agree that Uli's outfit was the best response to this challenge. Some of the others had, as you pointed out, more traditionally "model-like" figures and were less of a design challenge. Uli's model was not traditional and Uli really rose to the occasion! Bad judgment, judges!

And I have to add, while not wishing to be unkind, that if any plus-sized woman in her right mind would pick Jeffrey's design over Robert's, then she'd deserve the embarrasment she'd get if she had the nerve to wear it. It was a nightmare created by a man behaving like a spoiled child. He chose to "blame" everything on his model's size, her frankness (which he chose to interpret as an attack on his talent--touchy, touchy, Jeffrey). Ask most viewers and they'll agree (I think), that the judges kept J. on the show because they think he'll generate better ratings. Robert was too "nice" for "good TV," right, Heidi? Jeffrey behaved like a loser tonight, designed like a loser tonight, and deserved to be kicked "out."

If I didn't like this show so much, I'd stop watching. But you judges lost big points with me and many other viewers for your choosing ratings over taste.

Thanks for letting me vent. And Tim, you're the best thing that can happen to those designers--I wish they'd pay more attention to you. If you weren't so valuable doing what you do, you'd make a much better judge than some people I'm thinking of right now.

With the mothers as the models, this episode could have been rather cheerful and light hearted. Instead, it feels as though I'm watching a bad soap opera.

Surly such immature behavior cannot be considered "acceptable"? Please, people, you're on national television. Can't you just try to act professional?

Tonight's was a brilliant challenge! I'm thrilled that some of the relatives were plus-size :-) and I think the designers did well overall. Jeffrey should have been aufed for his behavior and for his design. Did anyone see any deep purple? I saw black, navy and medium blue (not periwinkle). I also can't believe that Mood didn't have a dark green, which was Jeffrey's voiceover claim during footage of the fabric selection - he changed his tune later to "the green didn't look good with the purple." Say what, Jeffrey? The nonexistent green didn't look good with the purple that sure didn't look purple on TV? I hated the asymetrical bodice with a shirt collar, and the fabric was bunchy at the ribs.

I loved Kayne's design. Nina Garcia can stuff her "matchy-matchy" comment; I loved the colors. The only part of that ensemble I wasn't wild about was the shiny finish of the pants (normally I wouldn't put crop pants on a plus-size, but she had great legs, and I liked the look for the "everyday" challenge). Robert's model seemed to have physical difficulty walking the runway and didn't smile, but she indicated later that she was pleased with the design. I agree with Michael Kors that the silhouette was good, and I liked the red kimono-ish top except for the scarf closure.

I agree with the judges on Angela's. Fringe? Come on! Laura's skirt fit beautifully, but the top was shapeless. The scarf was too long, and its colors were dead.

Michael's was great (love that it's reversible), but I thought Uli was going to win. Surprise! I ended up being happy for Vincent, despite feeling ambivalent about the dress. It was his best effort yet, though, and I loved his color choices. The back was disappointing.

Jeffrey needs a swift kick. Angela's mom could have voiced her opinion sooner and more directly,
but she was graceful and honest, where Jeffrey was cruelly blunt, self-absorbed and intent on
distorting the facts. I think he's still in only for the sake of future drama with Angela.

What a wonderful challenge, and yet, how dismal the outcomes. I didn't see much design expertise tonight. Also, I couldn't help but note that the designers picked the slimmest models 1st, and left the bulkiest and least attractive women to the end. How petty and predictable of them. And then they whinged about how hard it was to design for ordinary women.... Poor them! They should try *being* an ordinary woman and find well-designed clothes that fit. Except for Uli. She at least had the courage to select a model who was large sized when she had other options. But then for the winner - bah! - this is the second time that I've disagreed vehemently with the judges. IMHO, Uli won -- Vincent's design made Heidi look frumpy and short in the waist, and it didn't fit! As for Jeffrey, he certainly did not learn how to work *with* his clients. Consequently, his design was crap and his client was unhappy. He could have done better, if he'd had the integrity and courtesy to think past his client's size, shape (and daughter). Finally, Tim, I disagree with your description -- Angela didn't fuel her mother's mood, and I thought she showed restraint with paranoid Jeffrey. I would not have been so polite with someone who had been so rude to my mother.
