From that Tim Gunn interview:
MR: That jacket that Victorya and Jillian sent down the runway – that could have appeared in a Vivienne Westwood show, no problem.
TG: “And it was fully lined. There was a paranoia this season that Nina Garcia was going to get up on the runway and try something on. And I didn’t dissuade them from that notion.”
I find this part of Tim's interview...interesting:
“She said, ‘I never dreamed the experience of being on the show would be like this.’ We said, ‘What do you mean?’ ‘I never dreamed we’d only have a day for challenges, that we wouldn’t have any breaks.’ ‘But you said you saw the show.’ She said, ‘I assumed it was cheated.’ I said, ‘Then you only have your own delusions to blame.’
Did she really think that the time stamp in the corner of the tv screen saying "3 hours until the end of day" were lies? Yes, you only have one day most challenges to put it together--why do you think all the designers are so stressed on the show? They're not actors, they can't all pretend to be freaking out for the cameras. Jeez.
Then you only have your own delusions to blame.
This could be said to so many people about so many things.
She said, ‘I assumed it was cheated.’
This is such an odd phrase. I keep wondering if she actually said it that way or if Tim did or what.
I'm guessing she meant that editing made it look like things were done in one day, but that she thought they actually had a few days to finish the challenge. So, "it was cheated" by TPTB on the show to look frenetic.
I love reading Tim's stuff!
AI: I can't believe it. For once, the four people that I thought had the worst performances were actually the ones eliminated! Shocking. They have a pretty good group going into the finals.
Victorya responds on Blogging Project Runway and pretty much calls Tim a glorified administrator. t gasp
Note: she didn't provide any evidence (or even her own perspective) on the examples Tim relates about her. She just decides to hammer off and complain about Tim.
Yeah, seriously. You can't just say:
That's the only way that I can make sense of so many factual inaccuracies in what Tim has said.
And then not provide any specifics to back it up!
