Having only seen the last two sets of "Runway," I could be wrong but I think Ms. Klum and company is more concerned about television viewership than any fashion talent.

I have seen a lot worse than what the young woman who was dismissed created. I would bet that her story line is weaker than either Ivy's or Casanova's, both of whom seem to be "drama queens" of the highest level. I suspect both will be around for a few episodes to create "artistic tension" before getting eliminated.

I also though Ms. Klum was a bit testy when eliminating the young woman. Usually Heidi is nicer and shows bit a of compassion (rare for a reality show).

A couple of questions: is Michael Kors really a major designer? I have heard of Ralph Lauren and Liz Claiborne, but until "Runway," I never heard of Kors.

Is Marie Claire a major fashion magazine? I know of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, I even know Women's Wear Daily. I thought of Marie Claire as just another women's magazine on the shelf at Border's or Barnes and Noble's.
