WRONG!! Should of tole ol Ven to take a long walk off a short runway. Ugh! What a douche!

I'm so happy for Fabio, but I am so upset that Ven is still there. That stupid piece of dirt. He should take a long, hard, look at his own damn figure - he's far from svelte. UGH I really wish they'd given him the boot.

What a whiny jackass baby.

[Leighdear]

I'm hoping that somewhere in the fashion world, there is a menswear designer that's shrieking and ripping out his hair in horror at seeing Ven and his fat gut, wobbly thighs and man-boobs distorting the proportions of his clothes. But then again, I don't imagine his WalMart wardrobe can be credited to an actual designer. He dresses like he works at a liquor store.

I'm just gonna assume from here on out that Ven is mentally handicapped, but has some idiot-savant skill with clothing. But his disgusting and reprehensible behavior with his model is still inexcusable. His clothing for Terri Highlighted all the areas she wanted to minimize. She looked terrible, and knew it. She & her friend were humiliated by that bald Buddha. I hate him. I literally hate him. I'm SO glad the judges saw right through him, but I think they let him stay for the drama.

I'm Team Dmitry all the way. I think he needs to be in the REAL fashion world, dressing rel women!

Gunnar got a good edit this week. He actually seemed pretty sweet with his model and came off as attentive & supportive. His girl looked great, though the ruffle at the center of the top loked lopsided. I don't hate him to the max at this moment.

Poor Nathan. His model looked cheap, but she obviously loved it. "No Human Being should wear tight satin!"

Hey, exposed zippers! Something new! *LOL*

Loved Fabio's dress and his model rocked it. Definitely a dress with edge & not too girly. I would totally wear that dress. But I would NOT wear the dress Fabio is wearing! He deserved the win.

Alicia's dress was cute. Very "South Beach Club". Her model could definitely pull it off.

Elena gave her model the WORST length skirt. Hit her right at the fullest part of the calf & very unflattering. And I think that pale top was not complimentary to her skin tone. Another FAIL!

Did most of the dresses on the runway look a LOT shorter in the back than in the front? And not in a deliberate way?

Loved Nina's outfit. I would have liked Heidi's if the stripes had matched up.

[queenofsarab]

Ugh. I was really, really hoping Ven would go home after that. What a jerk.

On the other side, loved Fabio's and I thought he earned that win. Adorable dress and totally worked for his client.

[amm]

Ladies and Gentleman, we have our Season 10 Villian!!

Ugh, Ven. What an arrogant jerk!

Loved Fabio's look- the dress was amazing and perfect for his client. Well deserved win.

[resa]

I'm starting to think that setting Gunnar up as "the bitch" and Ven as "the quiet, talented one" in the early episodes was all just misdirection.

[SueR]

So...even after Ven was a shit and made a fugly dress they keep him. And then he goes back to the other designers and keeps complaining. And the phony suspense...One OR MORE of you will go home. Right.<br>Is it wrong to say I'm starting to like Gunnar? After a horrible edit he's becoming so pleasant. And at least Alicia kept her mouth shut today.

[Putch]

Ven is such an ass. Why do these designers get so bent out of shape designing for "real women?" Do they think that fashion is only designing for a runway show?

[CrumbyButtons]

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I wish Gunnar had gotten Ven's client. I didn't like Gunnar's dress, but I think he would have made sure she had fun. I agree Ven should have gone. That's the crap bigger girls get stuck with all the time. You should get much better than that when you have a personal designer.

Raoul? That's how you leave a show with class. A+ Nathan, good luck to you.

Loved Tim's "We hate that hooker mesh" Baffled by the hair guy saying "We're going to richen your hair up" - that can't be right, right? And MK saying Ven is "fashionably challenged" - also wrong, no?

Lots of blue, did Mood have a sale? Or did they go "Well, Melissa won with a blue dress..."

[DoleWhip]

All I saw of this episode was the last 15 minutes, and I already can't stand Ven. Heidi's "one-or maybe more of you-will be out" really bugged me. She made it actually seem likely that Ven would be eliminated - all of that was wasted potential.

[joanne3482]

I am so easily led by editing. I haven't liked Gunnar so far, but now I'm totally swayed to team Gunnar. Well, this week.

Ven kept going on and on about the size of his client but as they were going down the runway, I noticed several of the clients were not model thin.

[WatchrTina]

Ven is a douche-bag of truly epic proportions. But what I'm really annoyed about is that the producers jerked us around with that whole "one and maybe more will be out" bullshit. I would have been so impressed if they had sent Ven home too. Now, I just feel like I got played.

Loved the dress that won. That was Project Runway at it's best.

[Neeney]

Does this mean Ven is going to win the whole thing, now? Because if it does, shoot me now! That poor woman. I just wanted to give her a huge hug!

I only liked Fabio's dress because it did what it was supposed to do, but I would never wear it because i hated the colors. But his model did look fabulous!

Is anyone else disappointed when the trip to Mood doesn't provide a glimpse of Swatch?

[wyndham]

That decision was absolute bullshit!! I really liked Ven's style in the beginning but tonite he showed that he is a total asshole! As another poster said, he's got nothing to bitch about in the figure department. I cannot believe how horribly rude he was to his client - he should have been tossed off before the runway. Shame on the judges for letting him stay. I hope they showed a pinch of class by telling Ven's client that she would have another dress designed for her with someone who wasn't a jerk. Maybe Michael Kors could give her a gift certificate for a dress from his store. It is just outrageous that she was humiliated like that in front of a huge television audience and then just told "oh well, you got a shit dress but we're gonna keep the asshole on for drama".

[Maddingcrowd]

Oh, Ven-I have been one of your biggest fans,but you were just so insensitive. I really think he has some type of autism because he showed no emotion towards the woman, was just so matter of fact. I think the reason he stayed was that his outfit was not that bad. I thought the skirt looked flattering on the woman and I actually think the color of the top was nice, not so much the sleeves.

Several of the outfits looked pretty bad to me including Alicia's and Sonjies. Also didn't really like Gunnar's, but he was very nice to his model.

My favorite part of each runway is comparing Fabio's outfit to a real world example: this week he reminded me of a temple guard from the movie Jesus Christ Superstar (I guess I'm dating myself).

[Paws]

I wanted Gunnar to win just to prove that a larger sized model was no impediment to a win. Ven was SUCH a douche! And both Lena and Gunnar managed to be so sweet and caring! Ven must have some Asperger type thing goings or something... How could he not see that his comments were losing the challenge for him more than the dress?

[cherry malotte]

I never thought I would loathe any designer on PR as much as I loathe Gretchen, Ivy, and Kenley, but congrats to you Ven, you've done it - earned my contempt, disdain, and your attitude is detestable. I can only hope that one day you find yourself rotting in fashion hell. This idiot doesn't realize that the whole world can't fit his aethetic. And by the way, looked at yourself in the mirror lately there big boy? What size do you wear?

Poor Nathan, I know it was a hot mess, but your client did like it. I would have let you stay and cut Ven. With dull dull scissors.

And who knew, Gunnar didn't annoy this week, and he had such a great attitude with his client, and while I would agree that the top ruffling runners did seem a bit off, it was actually a great design on her, and she had fun. Good show there.

Loved Fabio's dress, loved it - and I kinda enjoyed the grays because with his client being a film student it to me seemed very appropriate, black and white film, silver nitrate...yes, I'm reaching but very cool, and very happy that he won.

Dmitry rocks my world again this week - I think he's still got a win in him yet.

I will now go make sacrifices and prayers to the Fashion Gods that One Way Monkey Ven will not make it to Fashion Week.

Ugh, Ven. The thing is, he doesn't realize how insulting and arrogant he is and he also doesn't care. Even after the judges talked to him, he still didn't get it. Then he goes back to the other room and says there were weaker designs than his! Up to this episode I was hoping he was still a nice guy underneath the ego but I guess not. Gunnar was nice this episode. He probably is a nice guy and maybe was playing up for the camera in earlier episodes. Elena was toned down this episode. She didn't have to work with anyone this time.

Fabio's dress was cool but at first I didn't like it. I think that was more because his model walked so awful down the runway, plus the shoes didn't seem right for it.

When Elena wears all that make-up I think of Natasha in Rocky and Bullwinkle.

[CrumbyButtons]

It is just outrageous that she was humiliated like that in front of a huge television audience

I think it will help that they showed all the shots of the designers looking at Ven with jaws dropped, not believing how rude he was. And Fabio's talking head about how beautiful she was should help, too. Ven will never realize it, but he's the one that was humiliated. He looked bad, not her. I'd rather have extra pounds than be shown to be a clueless, non-self aware ass.

My favorite part of each runway is comparing Fabio's outfit to a real world example: this week he reminded me of a temple guard from the movie Jesus Christ Superstar (I guess I'm dating myself).

Awesome catch! Spot on!

[bawarner]

There are almost no words for that asshole. I did however come up with one that I think fits well - odious.

My favorite part was when Tim was in the workroom talking to Ven and Elena was in the background listening with her mouth hanging open. I mean really, when Elena is slack-jawed over your rudeness you've got problems! I really wanted his client to stomp down the runway and then go off on him when they were all talking to the judges. I also wanted them to give the "losing" clients a chance to work with another designer on a look.

I do have to say it was nice to see both Elena and Gunner be so into making the experience good for their clients and looking genuinely happy to do it.

[limecoke]

Oh cripes, that was so uncomfortable to watch. My heart went out to that lovely woman who had to wear that horrible top and ugly black skirt. Ven, you are a creep. A wretched creep.

[JustMary]

I really wanted Ven to go home over Nathan. As much as I loathed Nathan's look, his client was happy and treated with respect. Ven made his woman look frumpy as hell, and she wasn't, really. She was curvy, sweet, and that haircut was great on her. But he put her in something that was just hideous, and he treated her horribly. I just want his ass gone.

Poor Dmitri. His girl looked freaking fabulous, head to toe, and he lost yet again. I can't hate Fabio for winning though, because what he did was pretty great.

Gunnar came off really, really well! Who knew he had it in him? And Elena wasn't a raving bitch, and Alicia made something girly...I feel like I watched a different show this week. Well, except for the fact that--yet again--Dmitri lost by a nose.

[thalia ann]

I started watching my recording of this ep and stopped and deleted it about half way through -- first I came here to see if Ven was eliminated and when I saw he wasn't, I thought, "nope, I'm not going to watch that woman be humiliated for one more minute."

[avecsans]

Ven's poor client didn't look nearly as heavy in her before picture as she did in that shiny blue monstrosity he made for her. I felt so bad for her when he kept harping on the fact that the belts didn't fit and they'd have to bring in bigger ones. (From Omar the tentmaker, I guess he thought.) Way to be a human being, Ven.

I hated Gunnar's dress but I thought he was very sweet with his client.

My Dmitry love continues unabated. He needs to bust out some ballroom moves before the end of the season. Fabio totally deserved the win, though. Loved his dress and his client's haircut, but I agree that the belt was wrong. She looked great, though.

It was nice of them to include a fashion show within the infomercial for Loreal hair dye.

[jackjill]

I'm just gonna assume from here on out that Ven is mentally handicapped, but has some idiot-savant skill with clothing.

Being a totally rude jackass is not a mental handicap. It's simply a personality defect.

I actually liked Gunnar this episode. He was a doll to his client. I hope happy, non-snarky Gunnar sticks around for awhile.

[Kathira]

What really bugged me about Ven's complaining about the size of his model and how unfair it was that he got a bigger gal, was that if anything Gunnar's model was even heavier, and yet he managed to make her look cute and sassy and ended up in the top 3. Sure, Fabio and Dimity had more slender girls, but Fabio's walked like a truck driver. Normally, when they do the "real woman" challenges, I hate the fact that the designer with the skinniest girl wins and the one with the heaviest is eliminated, but that was not the case here. None of the clients were model material, regardless of size, but Ven apparently seemed to feel he was the only one who was handicapped. He can get off my tv now. I may have to start fast forwarding through any time he is talking.

[Lamb18]

I wonder if they planned to eliminate two designers but couldn't because of both Andrea and Kooan leaving. Ven says to the judges as he leaves, "It was nice to meet you." You'd think he had been eliminated!

[oldandbrown]

Ven is dead to me.
Carry on..
