Rami Kashou is PALESTINIAN, not "Israeli." As you may be aware, there is a big difference. Pleae correct your error.

...so to the boob who wants Heidi auffed from the show: ain't gunna happen.

i think Heidi is a hoot and brings a touch of humor to her part on the broadcast. Accept the show for what it is - entertainment - and let it go, dude.

anyone who has watched this season knows that christian, queen of all bitches, will win this competition. if there is any doubt, then re-watch the WWE (women wrestlers) episode where, despite chris (a wonderful outrageous designer) winning the challenge, it was obvious that the one who knocked it completely out of the park and over the heads of the judges was christian.

he also kicked ass on the denim challenge.

he has the chops and the attitude to be an important designer. hell, he's important now - and i'm a 60 year old aging boomer who never wears anything remotely fashionable. if he can reach me, and make me not only laugh at his snarky (and often on-target comments) but also have me stand in awe of his impressive design vision and even his peerless sewing ability, then children, i think we have a winner.

You couldn't tell from the blurb on Salon's home page that the article was going to discuss who made it to Bryant Park? Are you impaired in some way?

Who really cares as we spiral down into Recession City if rude people playing with fabric become a legend in their own minds - or Oprah's mind?

Just wandering away briefly from the subject, but is anyone else tired of the audio special effect Bravo uses on their promos...you know, the cheap-car-radio all-treble-no-bass effect they've run into the ground? Can someone ask them to give it a rest for awhile?

Does anybody really care?

If you do, thank you for contributing to the dumbing down of the country.

I've really need to find a new site that doesn't spend so much time reviewing bad movies, moronic fashion trends and the lives of celebrities that I couldn't care less about.

Fellow readers: Any suggestions on sites that cover politics, science and culture without the tender biases of the cub reporters that make up the majority of the Salon staff?

(with appologies to Greenwald, Conason, Kayima, Reuben Bolling--and a few others-- who are the reasons I subscribe to this site)

AFAIK, Rami identifies as Palestinian not Israeli :S

Sweet P is a lovely, smart and creative woman. Cheap insults reveal other motivations in your unnecessary description of her.

Her tattoos are stylish and she rocked them long before they become so accepted and present in our culture. She was a renowned Door Queen in the nightclub underground and has oozed style for more than a minute. It has been a blast watching her compete this season.

Just my two cents.

I agree with vaporland -- So what? Not only are there few things as exploitive of women as the fashion industry, it's also a celebration of much that's shallow and mindless in our culture. As a longtime salon member, I consider this article a waste of part of my Premium dollars. I was going to say "an utter waste," but I do really like Cintra Wilson's writing. At the same time, Ms. Wilson's talents could be better used otherwise, and the PR salon has given Project Runway is frankly just stupid -- and one more reason to not renew my membership when it comes up again. As vaporland said, Thanks for nothing.

Apparently only three go to the finals. Word is its a double elimination, and two of the designers were decoys.

I'm guessing Sweet P. and Rami (in the shocking Austin Scarlet elimination) get cut. Chris will be a suprise finalist. My prediction.

...isn't so much that this article ran now. A more obvious spoiler alert would have been nice, but let's face it - Bryant Park shows are held in public, not in some closed TV studio, so it's not really a fair accusation to say that the article is "giving things away".

The biggest problem to me is that Cintra goes out of her way to call Sweet P chubby. Even if she was (and I contend that she's healthy and curvy), it's irrelevant. Seriously, Cintra, what is gained from unfairly comparing her to the anorexic models she was surrounded by on the runway?

love the show, love the designers and their high-rise frenetic angst over ruffles and seams...oh what a world to live in. i enjoy them truly. poor Christian can't help being an italian girl from new jersey, afterall. sweet is very talented, but I hope the 12 step programs don't get in her way in the futgure.

but i beg you... fire Heidi...she has to be the most vacuous, vapid and vacant collection of female cells on the face of the earth...does she really stay up at night figuering out how to sound so stupid and shallow

she is absolutely revolting I don't know if i can watch next season, she ruins it for me every week. surely she can lend her "talents" to saving some obscure species in equatorial africa? oops, i forgot she's already doing that.

I've loved watching PR this year, and yes Christian is awful but a wonderful instinctive designer. You want someone to box his ears, or at least teach him some manners.

And compassion..

Please. Last week's episode left us with 5 designers. (Ricky was auffed. Not surprisingly.) Fashion Week was also last week.

Anyone who has watched the show since the first season knows that, if the finale isn't aired until after Fashion Week, the remaining designers show a collection, even if they aren't in the running. (Austin Scarlet in Season 1).

We srll don't know who was in the running for the money and the Saturn. That's not why I watch anyway. Who caresho wins a prize that, so far, hasn't catapulted a single winner into the Fsahion Stratosphere? I'm watcing because I love seeing the design process, because I love seeing the designs, and because the whole concept reminds me of my grad school days (I've heard - and probably said - "Where the Hell is my chiffon?!" more than once before Andre made it famous.)
