The Season Eight premiere of Project Runway was an hour and half long, which meant that the designers had an extra thirty minutes in which to say something ridiculous. Move over Art Linkletter, it's not always the kids who say the darndest things.



The Designers Have Their Say

"I know this sounds totally vain, but I think Project Runway is the Ivy Show."

Really Ivy? Confidence is a good thing, except when you think it means you're indestructible. Considering you landed on the elimination ledge, you should have taken a tip from A.J.. He knows better than to brag the first day out.

"I'm kinda wearing this hat here because I kinda want to throw the competition off. Look a little intimidating like Roman soldiers or American Indians had these Mohawks. So me, I'm just putting this hump on my head and wishing for the best."

Jason, sweetie, Roman soldiers didn't go out in a salmon-colored shirt and print tie. Also, how about a hat that actually fits, cause right now it's more American Comedian than Indian. That's another fine mess you've gotten us into, Stanley.

"I'm I going to be the oldest? Hell-to-the-yes."

Way to sound hip, Peach. Now no one will guess that you're a 50-year-old designer from Illinois who designs tennis outfits for the ladies at the country club. Not like that navy knit set from LL Bean is going to give you away. Represent!

"She's pretty busty for a model but. . . it's a big (bleep) distraction, I'm not gonna lie. She had no bra on and she's like MINE. And I don't want to cross the boundaries like a doctor would but. . . come on. . "

Jason, this is two for you. Maybe that hat is causing your head to overheat because what I'm sure you meant to say was that, like a doctor, you didn't want to cross the boundaries. Rearrange the words and it's not quite the same thing. English is funny that way. Talk with Casanova. He'll set you straight.

"I was so nervous thinking, will New York eat me, or I eat New York? Or New York take me or I take New York from the balls."

Oh Casanova, there's so much to say about that statement. First off, New York hasn't eaten anyone since the Ghostbusters blew in to town in the eighties, so you're safe there. As for taking New York from the balls, well, your poor English is the only thing that kept you from being bleeped. Ask Adam Shankman. Relax, dear boy. You're the funniest designer on the show this season so you won't be going home anytime soon.

The Judges Get the Final Word

McKell's Dress:

"Side cleavage is a rare thrilling moment for any woman"

-- Michael

"I think it's butt ugly."

Casanova's Outfit:

"She's like the mother of the bride who's a belly dancer. She's a sexaholic, but she's conservative, I don't know who she is. She's a pole dancer in Dubai."

-- Michael

"It's fascinating. It's fascinatingly bad."

-- Nina
