Project Runway - season3

The stuff about Jeffery being accused hasn't aired yet. My cousin found a lot of it on http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com.

H ow bad at sewing is Project Runway final-four contestant Jeffrey Sebelia? A few months ago, the show’s uneliminated contestants left the supervision of the producers to go home and work on their collections. But when they returned for their group show at Bryant Park, fellow contestant Laura Bennett accused Sebelia of cheating. Three weeks earlier, Tim Gunn, Parsons fashion design chair and the show’s mentor, had visited Sebelia in L.A. and declared, “He had a lot of work to do.” Word reached Bennett, whose mother had met and become friendly with Sebelia’s mother. Upon seeing Sebelia’s miraculously finished collection, Bennett told the producers she believed Sebelia had outsourced his sewing—which would disqualify him. “His collection was very ambitious,” says Gunn. “I wasn’t born yesterday.” Adding fuel to the fire was Sebelia’s rather unfinished style of construction throughout the show. “We took the accusation very seriously, and we did a very intense and thorough investigation,” says Gunn. Bravo would not allow him to reveal the resolution. The three finalists will be revealed September 27, and the winner October 18. Sebelia didn’t return calls.

They define hillarious. And if what you're reading doesn't make you giggle, just scroll down a bit and try again.

The "reunion" episode ...

It was not as funny / climactic as it has been in past seasons. Last year Guadalupe was high, this year Vincent was just as obnoxious as usual, but nothing new.

Plus - I HATE Heidi's 'sense of style'! I swear, if she weren't a supermodel, she'd be one of those people everyone makes fun of!

Yeah, I fell asleep watching it. Oops.

Finale Part 1 -

Did you see grand rounds?? Who's worried about mixed company??

Really I just didn't want to start a whole laura v jeffrey thing here (like I have everywhere else in my life - work, home, family, friends... why are there so many laura supporters! )

I like her, too. But we like having you here, so I'll leave it a laura vs. jeffery free zone. *but she's right*

[reciprocity]

well, we don't know if she's right. I think it's pretty likely that Jeffrey did all his own sewing. Although, if you look at the photos from fashion week, they give a pretty good clue as to what the outcome is (but I don't want to spoil it for those of you who are against looking ahead at the photos)

Really, I don't see what the big deal is. Jay outsourced his knitting in season one, and some quilting I think.

Plus, Jeffrey is by far the best designer on the show!

Yes- but he (Jay) paid for what he outsourced. it's legal, but there is no way Jeffery could have afforded to pay for the outsourcing of the sewing -- even he quoted $600 to have that single garment made, and their budget is only $8K.

Plus, I didn't realize that this group only got 2 months to do it all, while the previous two seasons got 7 months!! How is it that Jeffery has NO work to do when he's just created 12 garments from scratch while simultaneously running his business?

Oh - but please - I didn't want to pick a fight! Pathetic little me couldn't help but shove my opinion in. Forgive me please.

AND ... I totally agree w/you. There are some things smiley just SHOULDN'T be doing.

[reciprocity]

well, anything he got "for free" then is similar to Kara Sahn's shoes and accessories from season one, which she was allowed to show for the sake of continuity, but was not judged on.

Neither of those two people were disqualified.

(Now if enough of Jeffrey's outfits are disqualified to mean he doesn't have a chance of winning, that is understandable, but he should still eb able to show his whole collection and he should still be judged on anything they can't prove he didn't outsource)

I'm sure it was editing, but they made it seem really seedy how Michael and Uli and Laura were rifling through his collection.

Mostly though, I'm just irked at how much more important the "drama" has become this year. I'm not sure if it was on purpose or if it just happened, but between Keith and now Jeffrey, it is way worse (by "worse" I mean "more like every other reality TV show") than Santino just being mean or whatever.

Ok, I'm sitting here watching the finale (look at what you guys are doing to me), does Laura every wear anything besides black? Good thing DH isn't home - he wouldn't be watching this with me. 8)
