So I guess they are going to keep Ken on until he stabs someone with his scissors? The dude has been in the bottom two just about every freaking time, has a shitty eye-rolling attitude - loved Heidi staring him down!, and is otherwise insufferable. Hey Project Runway producers, We don't like watching shitty drama queens. We have told you this before. And now that you have all this online feedback happening in real time, perhaps it will sink in once and for all?!

ITA, Dilbert. I would have been so happy for him to be gone. That Jekyll and Hyde shit is old. Jeremy was boring, but Ken is dreadful. He won't last, fortunately. I'm seeing Kate, Helen, and Braden for the finals. Dom and Alexandria could he fourth and fifth ...

My 6-year old nephew watches FACE OFF, the makeup competition and he says that Sue (60s vibe, long blonde hair, nose ring?) who was eliminated several challenges ago was a contestant on that show back in their Season Two. I haven't confirmed, but that would make her a try-try-tryer.

Ken should have been bounced for his attitude, and for that ugly dress of heavy material. Who wears heavy stuff in the south> I loved Heidi staring him down.

I like Dom a lot, she has such a cute personality. So far she isn't in the top tier, but I hope she keeps growing based on this year's experience.

I loved the winning dress. It was so clever. They have excellent models this year too, I wish we'd learn more about them.

It was to be worn to a wedding, a FORMAL wedding.

Lol, I should snatch it up for one of the many FORMAL weddings I attend!

I never understood the one armed leg o'mutton look. Doesn't your other arm feel oddly uncovered?

Not in my South.

I'm glad you all are watching too! I have watched every single episode of this show, all seasons, no matter how craptacular.

Ken has I think a bunch of stuff going on psychologically in addition to the obvious inability to deal with anger and self-esteem issues. Worse for the purposes of this show, he's got bad taste and no ability with words. Hearing him scream - I was over it the first time. I love that Alexander (per the preview for this coming week) isn't intimidated and said flatly that he could throw attitude, too. Thank you. I hate seeing people spray abuse indiscriminately and get away with it.

I think the best designers on the show are Dom, Alexandria (I know. She of dilber's 'uterus prolapse' pans), Bradon and possibly Justin. I think Kate's not original, and that Helen is a skilled trend copyist of a couple of designers like Balenciaga. Alexander is hard to figure out in terms of what he wants his customer to have, but he's awesome at making things quickly, and is a self-effacing grown-up. Ken's a really angry child and IMO hasn't made anything remotely interesting or even pretty.

Good riddance, Ken. That dress was one hot mess, starting from the color.

I thought Justin's dress should have won. Helen's, eh, I thought the hair and makeup gave more of a transformation to the fan than Helen's dress did. Dom disappointed me too; I keep hoping for her to have a breakout week.

How can a designer festoon herself with so many tats. What happens when she wants to change them?

I hate that many tattoos. One, five ... but that many? I think it's ugly. BUT when I got a scar on my face 15 years ago I realized, I had no choice in the matter -- with tattoos you do have a choice and some celebrate that as a power over their own destiny. I would still never do it and don't like how it looks and the permanence, but I do understand more than I did the WHY. I think Helen's fingernails are uglier than her tattoos. How can she work with those? Seriously! And I used to be a nail queen!

Yes, thank God Ken has been removed. That temper! Ironing in the doorway -- what the fuck? Tim was too kind, "Blaming" Alexander so that Ken wouldn't feel ganged up on, but really it was all Ken.

That said, I did not hate his dress. I hated Dom's dress A LOT. I was shocked that she was safe. It made me question whether they sent those two off in safe land because of those superfans. And come on! Superfans. They should have kept Kate and Dom there on the runway to ask about their dresses just so those fans could have the experience. ... maybe they were deemed by production as really boring, so just chop them out of the line.

I didn't like Helen's dress, but I didn't question the win as much as I wish Justin's dress had won, too. That signature was something that will immediately be stolen by some established designer. Brilliant! And I don't think Justin will be in the finale, so it would have been super nice for him to have a win.

ETA: I think they gave Alexander a pass because he was attacked by Ken and his stride was thrown off -- the whole "moving slower than I need to" was a result of the drama, I think. Tim put it very nicely to Ken and I hope he gets help, but whatever, just glad he's gone.

Ken - yikes what a passive aggressive, ironing in the doorway, to plain old aggressive jerk. He is gonna pull that shit on the wrong person someday and POW! He has little man syndrome....or what did Juicy Joe call it, Napoleon syndrome?!

Really wanted Justin to win. He had a much greater challenge than Helen and came through wonderfully. He accommodated not only his client's modesty but also her extreme recent weight loss. Well done and very deserving of the win. Helen had a geeky, mousy, skinny client who looked dramatically different due to hair and make up. Just goes along with the PR trend that the skinniest "real" client always wins.

You have a choice when you add the tattoos, but when you want to remove them, not a choice. Its a very painful process and doesn't eradicate the tat completely as far as I know.

Someone so creative should be able to achieve the look with design, color, accessories, etc. Permanent tats are nuts.

How Ken got cast I'll never know. I had that "introduction to the cast" show on my DVR for a while, but had to delete it for space.

Dear God....I still can't get past Kate's Peter Pan monstrosity. When they said she was safe, I was shocked. And, Dom looked ridiculous with that giant blue feather.

Why do I feel Alexandria has such a disdain for normal women's figures?

Buh bye, Ken. You are nuts. Pack up your gar-mit and go.

Helen's woman was rockin a giant case of gingivitis. Apparently, she visits the dentist about as much as she visits the hairdresser.

Tim Gunn is a saint.

Haha on the gums. Thank heavens I have an old fashioned low definition TV, I can't see all these fine points. What I see is painful enough.

I laughed when I saw Heidi on the Emmy's Sunday. She has dreadful taste herself, and probably shouldn't be judging other's clothes. And that nose of hers is narrower and narrower. I still like her though.


Confession, I like Alexandria's stuff. I forget what she showed last week though.

But do you like the poopy pants? I took a picture of a hippie type girl walking on a sidewalk (saw her coming from the corner of my eye and was already photographing some shadows) carrying a pink hula hoop and she was wearing those kind of pants and I was surprised. I thought they looked good, kinda funky. NOT fashionable, sort of on the margins, though -- like I said "a hippie type girl" ... I'll see if I can post the picture.


ETA: Easy peasy lemon squeezy ...
