newcritics: Project Runway - The Finale

  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    They're using similar color palettes and seem to have similar inspiration... armor, the warrior, etc. I can't wait to see how it plays out.

    Like you said... now I care. At some point in the past 2 weeks, I felt pulled into the show, something that has been lacking this season and now, now it's time for it to end.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Hello! Hello!
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    Yo yo yo, who's ready for fashion!
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    Jennifer, are you riding your exercise bike/electric generator while you watch this?
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Hey hey people!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Rami's gown looks like it's made the same as Christian's chicken pants.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Shut up, Brando!!

    I have the tv hooked up to the car. :)
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    They're all going with cutting-edge Medieval chicken looks.
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    Hope you bought a Sears Die Hard battery, J.

    Hola, Claire.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I love how jealously they are all looking at each other's outfits.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Medieval fighting chickens.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    They do all look a tad jealous.
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    Christian being nice? I haven't watched 20 hours of this show to watch Christian act like a decent human being. I want cat fighting!
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    Jillian seems quite excited.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    I think they're all tranquilized due to proximity to Jillian.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I'm sure Christian will not stay nice as he gets more anxious.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Christian's hair even looks nervous.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Yes, Brando, since last episode Jillian has seemed more alive.
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    Who wants ruffles?
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Ruffles and Armor- a new fragrance.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Rami has a point about Christian - there is nothing commercial about him.
  • Tom Watson · 1 year ago
    Be really skinny, don't eat - "bitches"? Does Christian work for MSNBC?
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Claire- is your mother watching?
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    See? Christian is not always nice!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Hi Tom
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    LOL, Tom. Maybe he feeds the bad models to Chris Matthews.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Yep, she's watching with me. :)
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Now there's an image!
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    I love when Jillian does the "I'm so stressed" whine. It comes out so slowly you can really savor every woeful syllable.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Brando- did you watch Ghost Hunters tonight?
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Bra-a-a-an-do-oh!
  • Tom Watson · 1 year ago
    The whole model thing is creepy.
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    No supernatural shows for me when TLB is gone.
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    I feel bad for the models. They really are treated like cattle. Well-paid, glamorous cattle.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Oh, Tim. I love you.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Tim's turning into Ricky.

    It is going to be an awesome show though.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Shut your mouth, Jennifer!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I love the group love, too. Hee!
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    I'm getting a New York Giants vibe from Rami. Like he may cross the finish line first and drape the tape around himself.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Oh, I love Tim, too. :)
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Did contestants have all these assistants before? Or is it just that the show is bigger?
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    I hope Christian does some of his own modeling.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Models. So late. Always it seems!
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    I think they've had that help before with the final show.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I love seeing old faces in the crowd!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Crazy Posh!
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    Tonight, the part of Heidi Klum will be played by singer Kim Carnes.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Over here, we think Jillian is "a doll."
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Mom is loving it.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Jillian's is very nice!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Brando- I was wondering which pop singer you'd come up with.

    I was thinking she was a little Suzanne Sommers. :)
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    Yes, good collection from Jillian. Loved the evening wear.

    She should call her line Ennui.
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    O noes, my snark is getting predictable! I already used Debbie Harry a few weeks ago.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Just had a quick call from my aunt - she's also a fan of Jillian's show. (PR is the thing we bond over.)
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    LOL@Ennui!

    Or, Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Claire- I thought you bonded over searching for cat pee.
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    Let's get ready to drape!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    No, that's my mom and I. :) And thanks so much for bringing that up. :)
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Victorya looking pissed as usual.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I hate his music - snore.
  • mrstrailerco · 1 year ago
    Hi everyone. I've been watching, but couldn't get my laptop to connect to the internets until now. I've missed you all
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Rami's was more colorful than I expected.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I still like Jillian's better than Rami's, though it was good.
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    Pretty standard Rami. Well-made boredom.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Mom still thinks Jillian has killed the guys.
  • mrstrailerco · 1 year ago
    I think Christian is too over the top - so of course the judges will love it.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Posh is going nuts over Christian. Which doesn't surprise me at all.
  • Tom Watson · 1 year ago
    I'm with Claire's mom - Jillian's collection rocked.
  • mrstrailerco · 1 year ago
    Whole lotta volume going on.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    I think Jillian might stand a chance as well, but I wonder if they'll nail her for too many constructed jackets.
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    Claire, I agree with your Mom. The first few outfits of Christian's were awesome, and then it veered into Medieval Times and chicken fights.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    But Christian is single-handedly bringing back the dickie!
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    The giant hat and ruffled neck thing looked ridiculous to me. I got itchy just looking at it.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I'm so afraid that Posh is going to choose the winner.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Posh had better not choose the winner!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Oh my god, yes to the dickie and the chicken fights. HA!!
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    Posh should only get to choose if I need more bread at the table and a refill on my water.
  • James Wolcott · 1 year ago
    An ad for Xanadu! I really need to see that show again.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Posh's line is called Area 51, right?
  • mrstrailerco · 1 year ago
    I wanted to make sure and tell all of you thank you for hosting this forum this season. I lurk/post on a few blogs, and I'm mostly ignored - even when I directly address someone. You all have welcomed me right from the start.

    Thank You
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    MrsTrailerCo! It's been great having you here!!
  • Tom Watson · 1 year ago
    "Style and pop icon" - ha!
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    It has been a lot of fun. I am sad it will be over until next season.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I totally disagree that her line wasn't cohesive!!!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    You're welcome at our own places as well MrsTC.

    Your commentary was more than welcome.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Christian is so going to win. Damn. Aahh! I don't know.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Heidi's wearing something from Sears' King Tut line.
  • Tom Watson · 1 year ago
    "You lost Jillian" - ha!
  • mrstrailerco · 1 year ago
    Michael loved that last dress? She looked like a chicken.
  • Tom Watson · 1 year ago
    The superdelegates are stealing it from Jillian!!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Christian can't hide his moods, can he!
  • mrstrailerco · 1 year ago
    Everybody seems to love Rami
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    I think Jillian's constructed jackets are her signature!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I agree, Jennifer.

    And Michael is right - Rami is too cerebral.
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    MrsT, I think you may be right. They really liked Rami.

    Can't believe Micheal liked the chicken dress. Put stuffed head on it and that girl could have worked San Diego Padre games as a mascot.
  • Tom Watson · 1 year ago
    "Christian's clothes went to 11 - they went to 11."
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Christian is so goign to win.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    LOL@Brando!!
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    Damn you, commercial time!!!!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Christian will be Chicken of the Season.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I want Jillian to win, though. BOO!
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    "It's like, you look at this dress, and you ask, 'how much more feathery could it get?' And the answer is 'none.' None more feathery."
    --Nigel Tufnel as a PR guest judge
  • mrstrailerco · 1 year ago
    I really think Jillian's clothes were the most wearable. So that means that she's doomed.
    Rami's stuff was better than all his draped dresses, but his colors are teh sux
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    I WISH Nigel was there!
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    If Jillian wins, she should outsource her emotional reaction to Ricky.
  • Tom Watson · 1 year ago
    Ha, Brando got the reference!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Yeah, that blue and red was... funky.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE WAS THE FIRST ONE OUT!! SHE WAS ROBBED!!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Poor Jillian.
  • James Wolcott · 1 year ago
    Jillian got jobbed.
  • mrstrailerco · 1 year ago
    Boo
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    TEARS!
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    NNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    A little tar and feathers and you've got a winner...
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I love how Posh's botox is keeping her from showing emotion!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    What just happened there??
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    The car he just won is bigger than his room.
  • mrstrailerco · 1 year ago
    He's not a man. He's an elf
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Thank you everyone for showing up throughout the season!
  • mrstrailerco · 1 year ago
    I guess I expected this. But it still doesn't feel right. And I did not like what he put on the runway.

    So of course he won.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Yes, thanks all! It was a ton of fun!
  • Brando · 1 year ago
    Oh well, this doesn't take away from a good season of blogging. Good times everyone, see you for season 5.
  • Tom Watson · 1 year ago
    Great season of live-blogging - thanks to Claire and Jennifer!
  • James Wolcott · 1 year ago
    Christian proves that being a "character" counts more than the quality of the work, at least here. And Posh should go back to striking poses in anime.

    I also detect an anti-female bias in play, in which the quiet "good girl" is penalized for not being always a-twitter.
  • oakling · 1 year ago
    I keep thinking that Posh must have paid them to be on the show - the way you'd pay for any other product placement.
