Is Jeffrey a big fat cheater?
I know a lot of you watch Project Runway, and I know this because your comments about it–your teasers, really–are what forced me to start watching it in the first place, and now I can’t stop, and I’m grateful because I love the whole speed-creativity part of that show, but come on–like I needed another program to become addicted to? Not very nice.
So as you know, tomorrow night is the finale. And the big question is, did Jeffrey cheat? Lady T already discussed this, but I wasn’t ready to believe yet. (By the way, Lady T, will you please tutor me in how to paste on all those lovely photos and YouTube videos? All I know how to do is link, and I’m so jealous every time I look at your site.)
Anyway, I was talking to Carolyn about this last night, because this is exactly the kind of thing that needs extensive analysis in a one-hour long-distance phone call, and she may have finally persuaded me that Jeffrey is indeed a big fat cheater.
The most compelling argument is his reaction when accused. We’re used to that guy being a hot-tempered, foul-mouthed fighter, and suddenly he’s all subdued? Hmmmmm. Plus, you do have to admit that his strength lies in design, not craftsmanship, so what’s with all the perfectly-finished hems and seams and zippers?
Yes, this is the most important thing we have to discuss today, so have at it. What do you think–big fat cheater or not?
And while we’re at it, who are you hoping will win?

I am so out of the loop! I have never seen the show and now I read the end is tomorrow night. I’m going to do my best to watch it. I don’t know anything about Jeffrey, but I usually think that if there is a question whether someone is a big fat cheater, they probably are.

If you go to youtube.com, there is a place where it says Embed. Copy that like this -
Here’s how you do pictures - http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp
And is Jeffery the alien with the neck tattoos? He should lose.

Hmm, I’m not sure I can Embed in comments, I tried embedding the true stories of Charlie Murphy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEUjcNImFHc
If you click that link and watch the video, you’ll see the Embed place. And laugh at Charlie Murphy(Eddie’s brother)

Thanks, Patrick! And yes, Jeffrey is the neck tatt man.
Deborah, even though you won’t know the players as well as we all do, it’s worth watching the show just to see the set up. Also, Bravo is running marathon reruns on the weekend so you can see where we’ve been.

I’ve been a fan since season one. I think the producers are just trying to mess with us. They’ve done something like this each season.
I think he’ll have a piece disqualified for not having a receipt for the work and that will be it.
This year, for the first time, I don’t have a favorite based on clothing and design.. Kara Saun was my favorite for season one, Santino, season two. Based on the clothes themselves.
This season they’re all so different from one another. Laura is my personal favorite, only because she’s so cool. And, frankly, as a nearly 40 year old, her clothes are the only ones I could wear. I love Michael ’cause he’s sweet and talented, but his final collection is kind of lame. I like Uli fine, like I liked Chloe last year. Nice people, not that interesting. I just don’t like Jeffrey. It’s not passionate dislike, though, so, even if he wins, I’ll be okay.
I can’t wait until tomorrow. As you can tell, I think far too much about PR.

Which is why you need to come over here and sit by me.

As much as I dislike Jeffrey and think he’s a total jerk, I don’t think he cheated. My friends and I have been talking for months about how his line will look amazing at fashion week because his style is one that necessitates a LOT of time, and he doesn’t seem like the type who would put things off til the last minute, but use every available second he had to make his garments perfect. And if he wasn’t so into quality, do you think Gwen Stefani and Madonna would hire him to make their clothes?!
I think Laura’s just got a big stick up her butt…not to mention a gestating sixth baby and Albert Einstein for a husband.
Regardless of all that, GO MICHAEL!!!

Robin,I envy your linking skills-can’t do them(other than a link in my blog entry titles)for love or money. YouTube is easier to add to an entry than pictures.
As Patrick said,you just highlight the Embed code and then cut & paste. I use Blogger’s set-up to add pics but it’s hard as hades to find ones that will work for you sometimes.
And as to Jeffrey, I still don’t like him but am not willing to jump on him for this,especially with Laura heading the torch bearing mob.

lt, from your comment above and that on your blog, i believe you do like jeffrey, maybe a little TOO much, maybe you’re in denial (it’s the neck tatoos that have you goin’, right?)
this whole pr scandel has really bothered me–it totally detracts from the pure talent aspect of the show that i love. if he did cheat, then jeffrey is scum for dragging down the show. as for laura, i’m glad that she’s a full on bitch–how many contestants have lost out because their “execution” wasn’t up to snuff. laura is the only one with big enough huevos to call it like she sees it. (even before laura voiced her suspicion, i found it interesting how “pleasantly surprised” tim was at jeffrey’s work when he visited the studio in la).
the other thing that REALLY bothers me is the fact that patrick doesn’t vote–that really detracts from the democracy aspect of this country that i love. for god’s sake patrick you are a FATHER, you have a responsibility to protect your child’s birthright–scheeze!
ps deborah you must watch tomorrow and the whole season (reruns or dvd) and the past two seasons, it’s that good.

I vote for ice cream. Who’s with me?
October 17th, 2006 at 8:58 pm
not me patrick. ice cream doesn’t protect the environment, stop unnecessary war, improve education or enhance healthcare–nice dodge, but its only a dodge, irresponsible at that. let’s talk.
October 18th, 2006 at 8:10 am
Oo, Annette, go!
But Patrick, I would still like some ice cream, please.
October 18th, 2006 at 10:01 am
Annette,I must disabuse you of this notion that I have any feelings for Jeffrey, While I have nothing against tattoos(my Little Sister has several of them and my mom sports a homemade tat on her ankle),neck tatoos are stupid. Period.
Also,I do believe in giving even creeps with nasty attitudes the benefit of the doubt if the evidence against them is flimsy(Laura’s inspection of his clothes didn’t impress me-Micheal Kors,Vera Wang and Tim Gunn have more expertise in detecting wardrobe shennigans)and the accuser has his/her own agenda in pointing a finger at them.
You want to talk about cute guys,Kayne and Michael are the hottest designers on this season of PR:)
October 18th, 2006 at 10:22 am
It’s so cute that you believe voting can do all that.
No, no, trust me - it’s better that I don’t voice my opinions.
I think my time is better served amassing my fortune so I can buy off parts of the government to make sure they do what I want.
It might be worth my time if we lived in a democracy, not a republic.
And Ice Cream most certainly does protect the environment!!!

gotta agree with you on the cute guy pics–kayne and michael are adorable, still something about those tats…
(really, your mom has a homemade tatoo on her ankle–how daring!)
October 18th, 2006 at 8:30 pm
okay lady t., a very obnoxious so-called friend just called me 1.5 hrs. ahead of my particular time zone to let me know the outcome of pr–how mean is that. no, i’m not going to tell you. the sad part is i still have to stay up, on principle. kinda like voting when you live west of the mississippi and see all the east-coast, mid-west returns (some bloggies don’t know what that’s like, voting, that is).
October 18th, 2006 at 8:32 pm
i know, iknow, i know, i meant BEHIND.
October 19th, 2006 at 8:34 am
i am so sleepy. stayed up late for pr, even knowning the outcome. it was great. lady t, you called it. i’m glad that it was fair and square. now on to “top chef.”
