Oh wow, I have used priceline to get great hotel prices in San Juan but I guess I never realized I could bid for a rental car. Thanks for the info!!

Hi Laceyjane,

sorry dup post

Tivo didn't record anything and I was at the White Sox game. Was there a rerun on or nothing at all?

I have already gathered that there wasn't a new show.

I too like Uli's dress but it seems like all of her dresses have twisted or braided straps. I would like to see something else in the bodice and shoulder area in one of her creations.

I have to agree with most of SeaBunny's comments. I don't dislike Vincent on a personal level. He just seems like he is befuddled all the time but harmless, unlike Jeffrey and Angela who are both abrasive and unlikeable. However, it was interesting to hear about Jeffrey's past and makes me a little more forgiving of his nastiness. He has come a long way.

 

I think Angela's mom deserves most of the blame for the argument with Jeffrey. Complaining about the colors he had chosen after he spent the $100 and there was nothing he could do about it was rude and useless (as I recall she asked for blue and purple and that is what he got her). It is like getting a blue blouse as a gift and then asking the giver why they didn't buy it in red. You just say thank you and put it in the back of your closet if you don't like it. Angela and her mother are both very demanding difficult people, as is Jeffrey. I also didn't like Angela bad mouthing Jeffrey's outfit on the runway. Her comments just made her look petty and difficult. I also didn't like the way she coached her mom to bad mouth the outfit. Angela is so disagreeable I hope she goes next.

 

I am not crazy about Vincent's fashion style. The dress he made for Uli's mother was the best thing he has done by far but I am not sure it deserved the win. That collar was a little strange, but it did fit her well and was better than most of the other outfits except Uli's outfit. I thought she had a more difficult task with an overweight model and she came up with a very flattering fit and style. Uli's mom is thin and tall and should be easy to design for. It wasn't a fair challenge because some had younger, thinner models and some had older, overweight models.

 

Most of the outfits were atrocious on this challenge. These designers better learn how to design for plus size models because that is the real world. I think Uli and Michael will be in the final three for sure and probably Laura with Kayne standing a chance if he can get back into the swing of things. His last two creations have been awful. I think Angela or Jeffrey will be out next they are both too uneven. Jeffrey is a great constructionist but his style is too far out for the judges (and for me). He does make the best fitted pants of anyone on the show. Angela has done two good outfits (the Macy's challenge and the Audrey Hepburn dress) but that won't be enough to keep her in. I thought Vincent would go this week but now I guess he has immunity so he will be around for at least two more shows (not deserved).

 

Is it just me or does anyone else find Heidi's outfits sort of 60's and 70's retro? She is supposed to be the height of fashion but I haven't liked many of her outfits this season. Many of the outfits by the designers on the show were far more fashionable than the professional designer clothes she is wearing.

I believe that this challenge didn't give immunity to the winner. But I could be wrong.

I'm so glad I'm not crazy, I'm totally hooked on this show and I'm a little scared, can't wait until Wednesdays! what to do after next wednesday....what will we do?:cool:

I watched the first season and loved it but didn't start watching the second season until DH got me started again. (had to play catch up) Now DH and I can't wait until tomorrow for the finale.

I think Santino's line is gorgeous but I find it questionable that they have cut the footage to show how plain Daniel's line appears to be. I wonder if this is supposed to throw us off.

Now to the question of what will we do next Wednesday? Well DH and I will be on our first cruise ever. 11 night on the Empress. I'm so exicted.

Everybody gives so much info it's great to read all of your suggestions and will pick carefully. Sometimes too much info for me to handle -

I have to admit - Kevin from Sac I am envious - your signature say it all - what a life you have had.

My DH and I are just starting now that the kids are gone - by the way DS lives in Sacramento.

I think I will try Erica Spindler - I like mysteries.

Thanks again for the advice.

Thanks for the list - We are cruising for the first time next March - I am afraid I will take too much - but I have plenty of time to check out my packing abilities and your list will be a great help.
