It's would be an 'exciting twist' and it's the only reason all of that venom came from nowhere towards him.<BR/><BR/>As for the designs, I thought Nick's looked very good on Daniel. Since the challenge was to design something for another contestant, I thought it would be judged by how it looked on them. And I honestly felt that Nick's design was second only to Chloe's in how well it looked on the person wearing it. Just my 2 cents.Polihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00304389092824787768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1139540672924144432006-02-09T22:04:00.000-05:002006-02-09T22:04:00.000-05:00In the absense of never being able to watch this s...In the absense of never being able to watch this show (Australia only gets it on cable and cable isn't that popular here) I still say the greatest "reality" show is <I>The Amazing Race</I>.

She's really the one throwing a wrench into the plans.<BR/><BR/>Thing is, Santino has had more bad weeks than good weeks, so he really should be gone by now. But he's not as bad as Wendy Pepper, in that she had more bad weeks than good, but also no vision.<BR/><BR/>I'm just happy that Daniel V. was able to steal my allegiances away weeks ago, so I'm not as crushed about Nick as I might have been. Stupid Daniel, though! There is no coasting! Every week counts!<BR/><BR/>And, yeah, I think Chloe does eventually win.

Chloe will know what to do, experience wise, when it comes time to developing an entire collection that expresses HER.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1139519733637333452006-02-09T16:15:00.000-05:002006-02-09T16:15:00.000-05:00agreed on that point...BUTi have no patience for t...agreed on that point...<BR/><BR/>BUT<BR/><BR/>i have no patience for the dishonesty of their shifting criteria. Every reason they've booted someone else has applied to Santino in each instance where he's been in the bottom two. And every reason they claim they've spared him is the same reason why others are given the boot. <BR/><BR/>IT'S MADDENING.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1139512831168567342006-02-09T14:20:00.000-05:002006-02-09T14:20:00.000-05:00I have to say that I agree with Anonymous on every...I have to say that I agree with Anonymous on every point. I loved Nick personally, but he's been skating on thin ice, too, and his really good ensembles were starting to feel like the distant past. Santino's clothes interest me (even the skating outfit), and keep me patient with him despite his personality; Nick's personality has, of late, kept me patient with him despite his clothes.<BR/><BR/>I think what's really annoying is that there have been so few great outfits in the last couple weeks and that the utterly uninspiring Kara has held to her mediocre middle of the pack. Obviously, N, I'm not saying you're wrong about producer interference with the judges, but I also think it's REALLY interfering with the judges that they're not getting inspired by much that they're seeing recently. You can just watch them and see how pissed they are.NicksFlickPickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607501848596529493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1139507082700402632006-02-09T12:44:00.000-05:002006-02-09T12:44:00.000-05:00First, I would like to say that I have been an avo...First, I would like to say that I have been an avowed Nick fan and Santino hater since the show began. That said, I think that Nick deserved to go. I think that Project Runway has been manipulating the competition, but it has been manipulating it in favor of both of them. Since the Nicky Hilton Challenge, (which might be said to be both his and Santino's creative peaks) they have both created lackluster designs and they have both been in the bottom two, two times. Each time they have been in the bottom two, I felt they should have been kicked off. Their team effort in the Banana Republic was, in my opinion, uglier and less client focused than Diana and Marla's, but it was obvious that the producers didn't want to kick them off. Since then, Santino should have gone in the Sasha Cohen challenge (but Emmett was boring TV) and Nick should have gone in the flower challenge (but the producers didn't want to get rid of Nick over Andrae).<BR/><BR/>Tonight, they producers were in a fix, because they had the two candidates that they probably intervened to save in the bottom two together. I think the judges geniunely liked Santino's design idea and where it was going (I know I did) even though its unfinished construction was awful. Nick's design, however, was poorly conceived and it had very glaring omissions, like the pockets or buttons, (at least Santino's had the sleeves despite how well they were attached) AND it was pretty poorly constructed (not as bad as Santino's, but it was the first time I was really able to notice poor sewing in a Project Runway design). The judges were able to look through Santino's construction flaws to see something interesting (unlike, say Zulema, who made an ugly dress poorly) whereas even if Nick had fixed his construction problems he would still have a poorly designed outfit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
