Can I rant on Santino? For a guy who thinks he is so damned original and creative, why did he pick like the most cliche imagery of a phoenix rising from the ashes as the inspiration for his design? Please!

Totally dull - and a barnacle. The only thing I really liked of his was the pre-season muslin challenge. And his drawings for Chloe's Banana Republic outfit.

I seriously think Emmett was booted so they could sublet his apt. Plus, you know - he was dull. Obvious producer's pick.

Actually "Chloe blue" was more of a torqouise this week - which got multiple compliments (Tim, ? & Sasha) for being unusual for a skating costume. She also has used a medium blue in the "Clothes Off Your Back" episode (2nd week) and light blue for the Nicky Hilton dress (5th week). Sad that I know that... As for the disclaimer about the producers having the final say, that explains much. Keep Wendy/Santino for the drama - Austin should have made the final 3 last year, and this year I fear Miss Dao will get the shaft. Nick and Daniel for sure....not sure who the third will be.

Yeah, I was really looking forward to Santino getting Auf Wiedersehen and was a little suprised when it was Emmett instead. I guess if the producers have the final say then it makes sense - they're going to want to keep Santino until the very end because he adds so much character to the show

my friend told me today that at the end credits of project runway, it says that the producers have the final say over the judges. did anyone else catch that?

Emmett's design did look like it was meant for an old lady ice skater! I actually felt a little endeared towards Santino on this episode. I will say, though, that if anything, it's better to express some creativity and vision than doing the same boring thing. Otherwise you are auf'ed. Why is Chloe always using the same color?

santino's outfit reminded of the chicken lady from kids in the hall. Emmett's was way better. its an ince skating dress, ferchrissakes.
