Even if the dresses were phenomenal?
Most of them have their niche. Stella - Leather. Terri - Pants. Korto - plus-size. Jerrell - embellishments. Ravi - draping. Christian - whackadoo. Austin - gowns. Etc. etc. etc. |

Well most women hardly ever wear dresses. I get the difference between selling to the masses, people that don't wear dresses, and selling to the elite. But when you think about it designing dresses is a very narrow focus. Terri doesnt just make pants and even if she did only make pants, women wear pants all the time. I think dresses are useless. |

Women do wear pants.....everywhere, all the time. Even when I go on vacation I take only pants with the exception of one skirt to wear to "nicer"
restaurants. But even then I often take just a dressier pants outfit. The problem with Kenley's dresses is that they were not phenomenal. They were
reworks of styles that didn't take well years ago and/or are impractical. Handpainted items require very special, very expensive cleaning methods.

It seemed to me that both Malan and Keith had potential to be at least big personalities if not breakout stars, but they were both eliminated too early to make an impact. |

Aw, it was funny. :/
I guess I could just point out Kenley did do separates, blouses, skirts, and pants this season. |

Did Bravo Sabotage Project Runway?And the drama continues between the Weinsteins and Bravo in the Project Runway saga. According to The Hollywood Reporter, what started out as a legal battle with Bravo seeking damages, due to the Weinstein Co.'s controversial move of Project Runway to Lifetime, has added yet another chapter to the ugly lawsuit. Papers were filed in New York federal court by Weinstein claiming they were wronged by Bravo's intentional refusal to promote the show's most recent Season 5 run. According to the papers, Weinstein said Bravo sabotaged both Runway's ratings and value by running very few ads - which were referred to as "mundane and unappealing" - and also claimed the network was far too lax with providing press info for the season premiere and/or revealing spoilers for future episodes. The company, owned by brothers Bob and Harvey Weinstein, is also alleging that Bravo began to suspect the move to a rival network was eminent and thus the network began to create "copycat shows" based on Runway's style (think back to Sarah Jessica Parker's American Artist announcement back in July). Bravo's parental unit, aka NBC Universal, released the following statement: "Not only do we categorically disagree with the Weinstein's Co.'s assertions, but the fact is that Season 5 was the most-watched and highest-rated Project Runway cycle ever." It's hard to say whether Season 5 (often bashed on blogs for lacking the same je ne sais quoi as seasons past) was set up to damage the show, or if it
was just an off cycle as far as contestants connecting with viewers. We know for a fact that Bravo was very tight-lipped about spoilers with TVGuide.com. But
it has to be said that in retrospect, the hoopla surrounding Season 4 does not even compare to the promotion we got this time around (still wondering what
happened to the reunion show).

So when Kenley allegedly claimed to "only design dresses", she was only referring to her Bryant Park collection?
No pants in untalented Korto's line either. Thankfully, Leanne put in 1 pair of pants: 
Nice top. |

Well, SOME people have suggested that the reason why Leanne's collection went over better than either Kenley's or Korto's was because of the
variety of separates she included... I think that may be one factor, but I say it was more because Korto's line was atrocious and Kenley is a sociopathic
bitch whom the judges have every reason to abhor.

So she did. Glad to see those gals designing for the commoners, even if only 10% of the time.

"Kenley is a sociopathic bitch whom the judges have every reason to abhor" Yes, because this is the only reason why Kenley got auf'd. It
couldn't at all be because her looks were beyond derivative; they were practically carbon copies. Her "above-it-all" bitch attitude was only
icing on the karmic justice cake.

Sorry. I may have been unclear. What I meant was that, because Kenley was a sociopathic bitch whom the judges have every reason to abhor, she wasn't going
to win, no matter what she or the others sent down that runway. The fact that her designs didn't deserve to win was merely icing on the cake...
