Oh man. Project Runway was a duct tape competition.

I recorded it, but they replay it often through the week.

1. I was impressed by the 5 prom dresses. And I think the right person went home....

Not saying who, just the right person. It was time.

2. That was a shocker ending. But, yes, I agree with your assessment.

Steep learning curve on that episode.

Though, frankly, I really needed to hear the judge's assessments to really appreciate some of details in the dresses.

3. I really thought the people who grabbed all of one particular color of duct tape were assholes

and I'm really glad they wound up on bottom. They're are lucky not to have been sent home. It was a cheap, tacky move.

4. for once the dress I liked won

But the worst dress was the gold one, in my opinion.

8. I think they take into account your long-term aesthetic. If they want to see more

of your work, they'll find a reason to keep you. But the one that got booted off was really not cutting edge. She does have a retro aesthetic. Maybe she's too young to understand that it means "old." And the competition was looking for fashion forward.

13. true

The guys who made the gold dress were better designers over all, especially Daniel.

5. I have to catch most of the season on On Demand

Somehow I faded on this season. PR overload or something. I do read Tom and Lorenzo's recaps, but I've never missed most of a seaon before and now you say there was a duct tape challege. That is not something one wants to miss.

9. This was a good one.

This year involves team competitions and everyone clashes, one way or another.

6. If Adam and Jamie from Mythbusters can build a boat from Duct Tape

I bet they can make a dress from it.

10. There were some real surprises.

But, you really had to pay attention.

19. Unfortunately, I hate the show

7. The only thing you can't use duct tape for is ducts.

[Baitball Blogger]

11. Well I can imagine why.

You could get your eyelids stuck shut by blinking.

12. Well, no. It doesn't take heat well, but I have used it for mufflers. It gets gooey but works.

With heating ducts it is subjected to enough heat to make it brittle but not enough to make it melt (as in mufflers). You have to use the shiny tape made for ducts instead. Then again, it was originally Army green and was used to seal ammo boxes and repair ships. Only the color has changed, well, there are a lot of colors now but I'm referring to gray.

14. I watched it in sheer joy

17. You know we were all thinking of you.

[graywarrior]

18. Oh, don't I though

15. Was Red Green involved in any way?

16. Red/black hounds tooth.

I'll say no more.
