I see who's going home and why.... He makes me sick anyway. I'll be glad to see him go!

What he did was just idiotic...he knew beforehand if he got caught, what would happen...I do wonder what the conversation was off air...i believe we are missing a portion of that interaction...and I pray that his design doesn't win being that they didn't announce the winners....

Angela really did redeem herself. I was feeling like the redhead (forgot her name) when Angela started making those rosettes! I knew that she and Michael really wanted to scream, but didn't want to get out of line, considering that she was the group leader.
Originally, I thought ole boy would be kicked off for getting a discount. I know that they are supposed to get stuff for full price, or at least fair market value. Remember they tried to bump Kara Saun for using free shoes? I thought him getting like $12 or something knocked off would be the issue.
Pattern books, leaving the set to use the internet.... Dude HAD to know that he was going to get kicked out.

I didnt think that reading pattern book was that big of a deal.  Definately not enough to get kicked off.

that pattern book could have given him (and maybe it did) an unfair advantage over the other designers; he's going home at night reading a pattern book and they're doing it the hard way - that ain't right.
I'm glad he got kicked off, he was too arrogant.
angela redeemed herself in a big way last night! but when she starting making those rosettes and saying she was gonna put them on the clothes, I started screaming at the TV. I'm so glad she had two people with excellent taste on her team b/c if not, she would've had one of the lower scores.

If it was against the show's policy and he knew about in advance then he is definitely in violation...there is nothing that can be said that would refute the show's position on the matter.

I dearly love this show, and must say I was happy to see the guy go. He has been making such amazing outfits, and all the time screaming about how he has never done womenswear.
Well when you have a book telling you how to do it, it becomes significantly easier to learn. Shame on him!
I just want more Michael time. I have loved everything he's done thus far. Boy has SKILLS and they never recognize him! So I'm glad that his team won, although really the prize should have gone to him and Laura (who also has exquisitely sophisticated, if slightly plain, taste) for calming her spacey behind down.
I mean after that monstrosity of a balloon skirt last week? You HAD to know the only reason this worked was Laura and Michael!

Angela's raggedy azz only redeemed herself because she had the good sense to pick Laura and Michael as her teammates. I still love, love, love Laura's taste (a Hermes White Bus bag, of course, really helps.  )
Not surprised that Bonnie got the boot. INC is a heavily trend-driven line. She needed to be in better tune with what's out there.

I knew you would be feeling Laura, lol.
She is so elegant! I just think her taste comes across as stark sometimes (the Miss USA dress comes to mind- it was way too plain for a pageant)
I loved when she talked about how she never dressed down because with 5 kids it's a short slide to sweats and a mini-van! lol!

That is a reasonable argument. Laura, even if she doesn't win, should have a career if she wants one. Looking at New York Social Diary, there are plenty of ladies with money who would rock one of her creations. The Miss USA dress wasn't her best...I think Kayne, being from the South, got the pageant concept better.
She's my age (early 40s). Of course, I don't have five kids or a loaded interior design titan of a husbandperson.

I was SOOOOO happy Michael and Laura had that intervention with Angela about those rosettes. I mean, seriously. Rosettes?  Those two really saved her.
And the nerve of Keith to knowingly violate the rules of the show and he was STILL cocky and arrogant as all get out when he left. He said at the beginning that he's only designed mens wear and he'd do what he needed to do to win, even if that meant cheating. I'm glad he's gone.

I completely agree!! I'm surprised Michael's outfits haven't made it into the top 3 yet.
Regarding the guy who got kicked off: he said that he merely had the book and didn't read it. That sounds like the same stuff he was shoveling when he said he made multiple outfits for the dog. Knowing it's a violation to have it, why have it if you're not going to read it? I can't believe that blonde girl was crying about him leaving.

And I quote..."Carry On, People!" I'm glad that Allison and the other dude (Keith, I think) were able to do just that and be the runner ups for the challenge last week. Michael deserved to leave...what made him think that he could do something like that?! No one in the history of Project Runway had shown up with pattern books (not even Wendy Pepper who needed them badly). So, what made him think that he was any different?

Michael Knight is still in the running (and my favorite  ). Keith Michael is the one who got the boot. Jeffrey was the guy with Allison.
