(note to self - check zap2it next week!) Sounds like a "transformation" of women who have lost weight. Maybe they will get a complete makeover including hair and makeup. Maybe the garments are from their "former" wardrobes. <BR/><BR/>Of course this means that the regular models won't be used AGAIN this week.

I appreciate the clear explanation of Jack's apparent medical condition. <BR/><BR/>If Tbone agrees with your picks, then you MUST be onto something because "Tbone is never wrong." <BR/><BR/>Many of our readers are wondering if Jack is off PLUS another designer. <BR/><BR/>I don't know the answer to this, but I do know for sure that the challenges are lined up in advance and that companies pay to "sponsor" various challenges. (Nothing wrong with that, the sponsors make the show possible.)<BR/><BR/>Also advertisers sign up for a season of a certain number of episodes and I believe that this is pretty much set in stone. <BR/><BR/>So, the suggestion that we could have "one less challenge" if two designers are "aufed" in one episode is problematic. <BR/><BR/>I would love it if Chris came back. I hope he does. I'd especially love it if he came back and then won a challenge or two and actually went all the way to Fashion Week. <BR/><BR/>Although I have locked in Christian as my pick for the ultimate winner, I'd really love for Chris to make it to Fashion Week. I think that if he comes back from defeat, the show will gain more fans. America loves the underdog and Chris certainly has the talent to do this. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, It does sound like Steven's outfit is being described with disdain by the judges in the promos. Making a black knit dress embellished with parts of a wedding gown sounds like a very bad idea ... but then - so did cornhusks...<BR/><BR/>We'll have to Watch What Happens.LauraKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12592353267304087555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813155461240201466.post-12009728329626685422007-12-12T15:24:00.000-05:002007-12-12T15:24:00.000-05:00Wow. I thought I obsessed over this one! I don't h...Wow. I thought I obsessed over this one! I don't hold a candle to you.<BR/><BR/>I'm with you pretty much all of this. However, there was a big rift concerning Tim's Guide to Style and the Weinstein's. They didn't want him making it and fought him on it. He wasn't allowed to mention Project Runway in his book, and he wasn't allowed to have the same people who work on PR work on his show. I think this probably has something to do with Tim's Take being gone. I don't think his show is going to cross-pollinate with PR. That makes the Dress for Success theory a bit less feasible. <BR/><BR/>Could the women they're designing for be pregnant?<BR/><BR/>I think the Shirley MacClaine line refers to the film <A HREF="http://www.wetcircuit.com/2006/01/23/sweet-charity/" REL="nofollow">Sweet Charity (1969)</A>. That film had a lot of flashy outfits (and she dreamed of being a secretary, which would fit in with your Dress for Success theory).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813155461240201466.post-10595608168071289102007-12-12T14:38:00.000-05:002007-12-12T14:38:00.000-05:00What really scares me is that I am in complete agr...What really scares me is that I am in complete agreement with the GI prediction this week, even for best hair!<BR/><BR/>My biggest question is whether or not there will be a double elimination, Jack plus one? I think Jack is a safe auf pick as far as Fantasy Runway is concerned.<BR/><BR/>And I also agree that if there is second auf, Steven is the prime suspect. The brief focus on Jillian's fabric selection at Mood is reason enough for me to give her the nod for the win.<BR/><BR/>The TV Guide episode description mentions something about a "seamless transformation" regarding the challenge. This is definitely a 'make something new out of something old' challenge.<BR/><BR/>No clue who the clients are though! Friends, relatives, everyday people, Bravo execs?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your excellent work on these posts, Alan. They are becoming a highlight of my Wednesdays!Tbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08582169951191781816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813155461240201466.post-5317720196704783292007-12-12T12:21:00.000-05:002007-12-12T12:21:00.000-05:00Dress for Success is also the charity which receiv...<I>Dress for Success</I> is also the charity which receives the "giveaway" clothes from Tim's show.Lilithcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165155867167277588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813155461240201466.post-3349972772823207592007-12-12T11:43:00.000-05:002007-12-12T11:43:00.000-05:00"...hooker with a heart of gold" is from the 1963 ..."...hooker with a heart of gold" is from the 1963 film Irma la Douce.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02802564606425881497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813155461240201466.post-64632572928477902562007-12-12T11:07:00.000-05:002007-12-12T11:07:00.000-05:00So, do you think we should vote "Jack" for an auf ...So, do you think we should vote "Jack" for an auf on fantasy runway or Steven? If we vote for Jack will this not earn any points because he wasn't eliminated from the runway proper, or will we get points because he is no longer on the show?Jyesikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01972438033486233493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813155461240201466.post-45069128492822331112007-12-12T07:58:00.000-05:002007-12-12T07:58:00.000-05:00Yeah, I botched it last week calling Chris to win ...Yeah, I botched it last week calling Chris to win and he was auf'd.
