Not a regular part of the episode, but a little sumpin sumpin to get your through if you are a fan of the Project Runway. Taffy and I talk about what we like, what we didn't like and....well, that's kinda it. Enjoy.
Hi this is Taylor and Taffy and you are listening to the very first of our Project Runaway updates. We are going to be trying to do one of these once a week with every episode of Project Runaway. It started last night, the new season, season four, and we're just going to be talking a little bit about the episode and you know sharing our thoughts and feelings which is very difficult for us to do. We don't like to talk about what we think about. We're really wallflowers. We are. We're shy. We need you to coax us out. Yeah we need you to coax us out if he wants it a while. We promise that these will be somewhat short. Yeah we are going to try and only do ten minutes. Ten minutes max. So which is going to be very hard for the very first episode and Taffy and I sort of made a you know an unwritten vow to one another that we would not talk about the episodes till we actually taped. So I have no idea what she's going to say. She has no idea what I'm going to say. You know we'll just take it from there. So Taffy what did you think? I was bored. Were you? Let me tell you why. I thought some of the people were very interesting and I really can only remember the names of like two or three of them. I think the one guy Jack is very very cute. The one who made the beautiful black-and-white dress with the blue sash which I thought was the best dress. I thought that was great. The whole thing about I'm an adult and I call myself sweet pea I would have to punch her in the face. No I was I was bored because last year the first you know out of the starting blocks you know take anything out of your room and create something with it. Now that's that's a challenge but to say okay the challenge and this one was they all had to run across to you know a field and there's fifty thousand dollars with a fabric and you can grab as much as you want and then you can make whatever you want. What the hell is the challenge in that? They're designers. I don't know I thought I was like that's the first challenge. They have to grab fabric and then make something and they don't even have any you know I thought they were gonna say you know grab fabric but you have to be blindfolded or you know something but they had to grab fabric and then make something. Yeah okay so I just I was I thought the challenge sucked. I thought some of the people were very interesting. Well we're gonna talk about the people in a second. Let me just think about the clothes. Well let me tell you what I thought about the episode first. I was kind of bored in many ways like you. It sort of felt like okay you could pretty much replace these contestants with any contestants from any other season and it was I mean it was the exact same formula with the exact same people. There was no usually by season four and a lot of these reality shows they have the big twist or there's something new to kind of keep you interested and I'm still interested in it. I mean don't get me wrong but it just seemed kind of like it was very predictable. There was the gay guy and then the fat guy and then the cute guy and then the bitch and then the avant garde and then the I'm a housewife but I really can make cool you know I mean it's just it was across the board. Yeah and they're very cookie cutter. They are very very. Except the one girl does look just like Fair Wing. Okay well and I also thought that the judges the only thing that was different was the judges seemed to amp up the bitchiness a little bit. And I thought the exact opposite. I thought Nina Garcia was as nice last night as she's ever been. I thought last night she was she atoned it way down. Well maybe I'm thinking about Michael Kors because he just seemed to be like where everything was like well that's boring or you know why didn't you do it that way and it just seemed like all right you know I'm going to play the role of no matter what anybody throws at me I'm not gonna be impressed with anything. I usually fast forward when he talks anyway. Well that might be why you missed that. The big one. Let's talk about some of the contestants. Okay now I'm gonna throw out some names of some people. Let me drop the names of the other one episode if I can remember who they even were. Okay all right Carmen. Was that a guy or a girl? Okay that shows that you don't remember. That was a girl. Well she was the African-American girl. Yes. Yeah I didn't like her dress but I thought she was kind of fine. Okay well she had a pantsuit so that might be why you didn't like it. Well no I mean she I know what she had it was just I don't know. It wasn't them all. All right well you said you think Jack is cute and actually when his dress came out the black and the white and blue I thought that was something I could see if it wasn't quite so low-cut. You're old to start away. That's the first thing she said was I would buy that. Are you kidding me? That's fantastic. So yeah. Yeah yeah I definitely thought that. So Raimi. Raimi I don't think. Oh he's on who won? Correct. Did he? Yeah he won with the like the grayish dress where. Okay yeah you're right. Yeah I thought the dress was pretty but you know what I don't know if you actually looked at the dress very much but it kind of made her look a little chunky and she was the model hello. I think she would know I think she just looked a little chunky because I think she may be you know according to like you know America's next up model a plus size model. Right exactly because she's a high four. She was she was a little thick in the fake. I mean she didn't I shouldn't say thick because she wasn't but I mean she just seemed to be built bulkier. I don't know. I sort of got that from her. The only thing I have to say about Raimi would be. Yeah he's a kitty. He kind of reminds me of Pasha though from so he think he can dance. I don't know why but he did. I find him cuter than Jack. Well Jack is just that I should be on a cold gate commercial cute. Yeah I mean yeah I've got the gay face. The one that disturbed me the most well there's a couple that disturbed me the most and one would be Stephen who I've decided looks like a baby newborn albino rat. Did he try out last year or something? I don't know but he's with the weird smile and the beady little eyes and the shaved head and the pale skin and I just every time he came on you freaked me out. Yeah I don't I don't. I know you're talking about but I he was completely forgettable to me. Yeah and let's see who else the girl who I thought at first was gonna go home was the girl in the bottom two the Alisa the one with the blue dress with all of the strapping in the back. Yeah which had it been done correctly could have been an amazing looking dress. Yes except the problem with that was is that she chose the heavy if she did it with a chiffon or a really light cool fabric but she chose the heaviest cotton it she could choose and it pulled that seam straight. It looked ridiculous. They said that on the show but I'm just I think that the only reason they kept her around it is because they realize she's gonna be weird and flighty. She's gonna be Angela. When yeah exactly exactly when they take people off you know in the beginning it's because they're the boring people and they're not the characters. I mean there's definitely people on the show right now that are characters and they're people that are gonna be around and there's other people that you just sort of are very are very forgetful. Well I'll tell you I don't know who made the one dress last night but it was like this orange-ish reddish hot pink number with that was backless with the pockets. I believe that was Jillian. That was a hot dress. That was not when it came out the little of Stuffington went. Yeah because that that was an awesome dress and my favorite dress of the night was actually probably Chris's the big guy with the purple and the gold. Oh yeah now I thought that was pretty cool too. That looks like a very finished piece. That looked like something you go into Nordstrom and they would have. Yeah however it was also very safe. But don't you think that doesn't he kind of reminds you of a Matt TV character already. Well kind of and actually I've been to his website before because he's the one who makes all the costumes with the big on X-tube. Not so I got. No I've been it because he makes all of those costumes that are like really oversized and huge Wonder Woman and everything and actually I've got one of his pictures. I've had one of his pictures on my MySpace page for years and when they started showing pictures at the beginning I'm like oh I know that guy. So that's cool. Finally Christian. Oh the asymmetrical hair guy. Yeah. You know. Well obviously I mean let's please. Ciao please. If you're gonna come out with the big cheesy grin and the and the I'm so out there and I'm so different and all this other stuff. You know I mean the the jacket he made was cool. The rest of it was stupid. The jacket was neat. You could wear the jacket with anything. A black dress, pair of jeans. Whatever. It was neat. You know I like the fact that he the girl who did the blue dress. I think her name was Lisa. Yeah. When they were all talking he goes yeah I look around here and there's stuff that you know it looks like second graders were put together and the one that they kicked off. I think you know if you're gonna start saying that stuff on the very first episode I can't wait till the fourth. You know. Well yeah I mean again he's playing the character of I'm going to be the bitch. Right. So you know. Okay. All right. He's the Rodiana project. Yeah. I'm just imagining wrote in with that haircut. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Great. Well we're just a teaser. So thank you very much for listening to the very first episode of our project runway update or review or whatever. These will get better as time goes. Okay. So this is the very first episode. Make your prediction. Who do you think is going to win? I was going to ask you that too shit. All right. Hold on. Let me look at everybody. I think that the winner is going to be. I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to say. All right. How about we do top three. Okay. Top three. It's fine. Who are going to be in the top three. All right. I think it is going to be Christian. Okay. Carmen. Who's Carmen? Okay. I know. Yeah. Right. Racist and Raimi. And I think it's going to be Jillian. I thought her dress was awesome. Okay. And probably. I'd say Raimi too. I don't know. I think the third one might be a wild card. I don't know. I will pick a wild card. Who is the, you know, who we didn't talk about is the guy with the, he kind of looked like Joey Fatone. Kevin. God, how do you remember all these people's names? Because I'm looking at the contestants right now. I'm looking for a TV.com. He always tell me I'm not allowed to have anything open. Cheater. Well, something like this. You know, he was, he was okay. I don't know. I think I'm hoping he kind of is a wild card. He's kind of bland, bland and bland. Yeah, I know. So as I was saying, I'm hoping he kind of steps it up. All right. Well, let's stay tuned for next week. Yeah. If you guys like this, you know, let us know and we'll keep doing it. If you all completely hate it, we won't. We'll incorporate it into the regular episode. We'll still do it. We'll just be the only two that listen to it. Right. Well, we'll do it, you know, over lunch. All right. All right. This is Taylor and Taffy. Thanks everybody. Good night. Good night.
