Hell no.Jeffrey should have been kicked off of Project Runway when he made that shit sack of a dress for Angela's mom.
Jeffrey should not have won for his Hot Topic skull shirt and the tapered leather pants that made him look like a potato on stilts.
Jeffrey should not have won for the yellow plaid dress that he tore straight out of one of the library's magazines from the eighties.
Jeffrey should have been kicked off tonight for the polka-dot mess he made. It looked like a Madonna Halloween costume. It looked like the clearance bin from Rainbow, or the Everything Is $7 store.
If Jeffrey wins this season, I swear to God I will never watch Project Runway again, because, more than ever, this season is just a cringe-worthy, staged drama fest.
If Jeffrey wins this season, all you will have to do to win next season is show up looking stupid and acting like a complete dick.

Yup. Tonight's episode proved that Vincent's win was totally staged.# posted by

I am now totally convinced that these shows are so completely staged to the last detail. Just think if they didn't leave Jeffrey on how would they make it interesting? They must create that tension. And then we (audience) all buy into the premis that it's "real". Yeah right!

And it really pisses me off for Michael and Laura to be stuck in the middle of this bullshit. I feel insulted that Bravo apparently assumes I'd rather watch Vincent's crazy, creepy-ass uncomfortable schtick and Jeffrey's shrill acceptance issues and one-note "rock" designs than see more actual, interesting, good DESIGNING. Bring back Alison! She was a GOOD DESIGNER. Bring back Malan! He made a mistake but was gone way too early. Hell, bring back Keith! He might have been underhanded, but at least his designs were GOOD DESIGNS.
Leave the stupid stagey drama to the networks, Bravo.
Arrrrgh.
I might be done after this season, too.

To all four of y'all:
Word, word, word, and WORD.
Project Runway rose in popularity because of what it already was. Why are they messing with the formula now that their original vision has finally acheived the praise it deserved?

THANK YOU!
Although, I don't really think they're messing with the formula--they always have at least one obnoxious drama queen (see: Wendy, see: Santino).
I'm always shocked when they think his boring, pseudo-edgy clothes are wonderful and original. BLEH!
For what it's worth, I don't think he's going to win (although I think he might make it to the final three). And also, what's up with his TINY HEAD?!

RIGHT on sister! I didn't watch last nights episode...missed it yet again, I'll catch the repeat, but I do not like Jeffrey at all! He is a mean spirited snob, who has nothing to be snobby about! He treated Angela's mom horribly. What an ASS he is!

at least jeffrey has an interesting point of view in his designs. Uli shows up week after week creating the same dress re-worked, to be somewhat different, but not really. Uli's dresses are pretty, i'll give her that, but the SAME THING, week after week. I really love jeffrey's designs. He takes chances. I honestly feel that he's an important asset to the show, and everyone only hates jeffrey because they feel like theyre supposed to hate jeffrey. But i urge you all to remember you are seeing what bravo WANTS you to see, they can cut this show up any way they want. who knows, angela's mom could have sucker punched jeffrey in the face, WHO KNOWS (i really don't think she sucker punched him, but im just getting my point across)

Kimberly: My theory is that his tiny head is the head of the alien who ate the head that used to be on that body. (See: the movie Alien.)
Karisa: Word up.
Nicole: Uli's designs have no effect on my opinion of Jeffrey. As to your assertation that "everyone only hates jeffrey because they feel like theyre supposed to hate jeffrey," I would like to share with you that I hate Jeffrey because he uses the word feminazi without irony, and because he acts like the world owes him a living for recycling '80s trends every week. (Not that I fault you for liking his designs - I liked a lot of '80s stuff back in the day, too. But he didn't invent that stuff. He's just rehashing it.) You may be right about Angela's mom sucker-punching him and therefore deserving his rudeness in return. However, all the sucker punches in the world wouldn't warrant that piece of crap outfit he "designed" for her. There was no excuse for it. It sucked, it was not creative, and he should have been kicked off the show for it.

I would have to agree that that outfit looked like.... well in Roberts words "a costume from the Starship Enterprise". But the other outfits he had designed to me, were of good taste, to me. I liked his couture dress, and his jetsetter outfit. They aren't my style, but i could totally appreciate them. And so what if theyre doing crazy shit to spice up the ratings. It's entertaining to me! That's what i want in a show. Crazy shit... shit.

We have that in common: we both find the show entertaining.
