6/18 Show Discussion **Spoilers** - Page 4

I haven't really been following this show like I would Project Runway but I caught it tonight and I thought the winning design, the one with the shorts made from that beautiful fabric, was gorgeous.

Haven really pissed off Isaac when she corrected him about her shorts. It went something like" "Yes, but now they are culottes" in a really prissy tone. Check Isaac's reaction. What was she thinking? That he wouldn't recognize a pair of culottes? This could come back to haunt her. I can't believe Merlin is turning out to be the nicest person left in that group. He really bailed out Johnny. And what was that crack Johnny made about kissing Isaac being like kissing his grandmother? He should be so lucky. Am I the only one who thought that coat he designed was totally him? It looked like something you would see in The Flintstones. Finally, if this show survives, they should bring Veronica Webb as co-host. She is smart as a whip and has great chemistry with Isaac.

I'm liking the show and hope it comes back. I totally agree, V. Webb was great on the show. She would bring so much to the table.

Yea how crazy is it that Merlin is the "nice guy" I was reading his blogs on the Bravo website and he kinda mentioned that he was sorry for the way he acted during the first episode. He said he was kinda caught up in the moment and he really took what the judges said about that seriously.

OMG yea that whole 5 mins in the closet with Issac and somehow kissing your grandma got worked into that...thing was really weird.

I am finanally warming up to this show a bit. Yes, it is time for Johnny to go; a designer who cannot sew is just silly.

I loved the winning outfit!

We have teams again next week and apparently the winning team gets to asign something for the challenge that does not please the men. This should be good.

I thought that comment was so completely unprofessional. It was just WRONG. I like Johnny less and less every week. I hope he is the next to go.

If this show comes back for a second season, I hope they have the good sense to nab Veronica Webb as a co-host. Intelligent, knows a great deal about the industry and the fashion world in general and knows her stuff. Even better, she knows her own mind. Kelly is coming across too much as a "talking head."

I'm kinda done with Danielle. Unlike Merlin (who was abrasive at the beginning but is a sweetheart) she's just an nasty piece of work and it makes me not want to buy a damn thing with her name attached to it. Which is a shame, because some of the clothes she makes are lovely. She has no respect for the client, collaborators (as Reco was this week) and probably the people who will be unfortunate enough to be her underlings in the future. I still felt bad for her when Issac went off about her design though; she was very close to tears. I really hope she takes a closer look at her behaviour on this show and makes some positive changes in her life. I can imagine that Reco might be hard to take in big doses, but she really doesn't understand the meaning of teamwork, and while Reco was slightly apprehensive about working with her she was outright hostile. I think it's safe to say that Reco isn't the problem here.

Johnny. Ugh. He reminds me more and more of Droopy from the old Tom and Jerry cartoons and that's not a good look on a man. His outfits get worse and worse with each judging; that smock thing he had on this week looked a lot like it was produced by one of those old art kits where you put a piece of fabric on a spinning wheel and you squirt paint at it to get a paint splatter/tie dye effect.

I think that the right person went home this week. Lidia's dress was totally ugly and a hot, busy mess; and what wa with those sleeves on that dress???

I also thought that the right team won this week. It is not often that I am agreeing with the judges, all of the way around. Johnny and his partner, John Paul(?) did OK this week, but I do think that the skirt of their garment had too much going on below the waist. The jacket was nice, but I'm not a huge fan of the asymmetry. Felt? I've never thought about felt for anything other than office desk tops and pool tables, but it looked like it worked with that jacket.

Really liked Reco's blouse. Reco is a person who needs to work on a project alone, but I totally love him and what he does. Wonder what Daniella is thinking now that she'd basically been told that her vision/abilities were wrong? I don't blame Reco for his smirk, but I do think that he should have tried to hide it. He let her have it her way, and she almost got canned.

Reco, Reco, Reco......you are, indeed, a star, and I hope you take it all the way....but you really should tone it down a little, because it's really going to hurt if you crash to your ass and get shown the door.

actually Johnny was paired with Merlin this past week (who btw saved his butt on the sewing part of the challenge) You're probably thinking of James Paul who was paired with Lidia on that catastrophy of a dress and jacket they sent down the triangle

YES, YES, and YES! I agree with all of your comments. Its so nice to see Merlin is picking up some popularity in this competition.
