Project Runway Season 3: More Predictions as the Field Narrows

I don't know about you, but I find Project Runway, Season 3, downright addicting. I have been watching season three after a brief introduction to Project Runway last season, you know, with Santino and Chloe, and I find the designers on Season 3 to be the more interesting finds. As the weeks go on and the group gets smaller, I, like most people have some predictions about the winners and losers of Project Runway Season 3.

I have to say I've been pretty good, week to week, guessing which Project Runway would-be fashion mogul is about to be booted. For example, when the designers were assigned to make outfits for other designer's moms and sisters, well, it wasn't hard to know poor Robert's mu-mu with red shawl, or whatever that was, was going to get him cut. I could have made that! And I can't even sew! It also wasn't difficult to guess that Angela, after one hit and several misses in season 3, was going to get the auf weiderschein (or however you spell it...) when she just didn't pull it together for the Paris "jetsetter" episode, even though Kayne's Elvis ensemble was questionable.

Kayne, in fact, though, needs to watch himself. Since Project Runway left the pageant dress episode, he's had a few weird moments, like when he had to totally re-do his recyclable dress and when he over peached Michael's mom. And the competition is only getting tougher as the dead weight has been cleared away and now only good designers remain. I think he's got his work cut out for him, no pun intended, after some missteps.

Vincent has come from behind to prove himself. He won the mom's challenge after tanking in the recyclable episode. His clean and dark jetsetter look last week got a split decision from the judges, but, overall, he seems to be getting stronger as the weeks go by. I think he has a great deal of self-confidence, but he also has had several weak weeks that mean he needs to really push himself. Not sure he'll last much longer.

I also think that, while stylish, Laura (who recently announced she was pregnant with her sixth kid…) needs to kick it up a notch. I don't think she's won a challenge yet, and while her work is good, she seems more to "get through" then really wow the Project Runway judges to the point she wins a challenge? Will she be able to take her basic style and get increasingly creative with it as the weeks wind down?

I wonder about Uli lately. To me, she seems the most together and professional of all the Season Three Project Runway contestants - and calm. You never see her getting into any of pettiness and weird banter some of the others -including even Laura and Vincent - sometimes fall into. She's the kind of person you'd actually want working for your company and her work has been consistently approved by the judges. However, her jet-setter outfit was so classic "her" - like something she wears all the time, you hoped it wasn't a sign she's running out of creative steam or maybe isn't as diverse as we hoped. She received just her first critical thumbs down, but you wonder if just not getting bad reviews is enough. I would have put her in the top three, but now, I think there's a top two, and I hope she can real blow us away and make it a top three again.

As for the top two, there's a divergent pair. There's two-challenge winner Michael, who, with Uli, is maybe the most likable and even-tempered on Season 3. And then there's Jeffrey who couldn't seem to leave Angela alone and who never hesitates to crank out comments on other people's outfits - including Michael's. These two, I think, are going to face off at the end of things.

Michael's style is sort of hip-hop, and also chic, and episode to episode, he does something different. I didn't dig the collar on his jetsetter white outfit, but I could totally see people wearing it outside at a beach party in the Hamptons. After a quiet first few weeks, he's been impressive, give or take his mom challenge outfit.

Jeffrey's outfits also show a lot of range. His rock and roller jetsetter ensemble looked like something one of those alt rocker guys would wear just before getting into a fight with a stewardess or something. His recycling dress was standout, maybe better than winner Michael's. His mom dress was hideous, but overall, he's done some very impressive work - according the judges, even as he takes shots, flies off the handle, brags, and otherwise annoys. He hasn't got that Santino weird arrogance to him, he's more like the temperamental artist. I predict he'll make it to the top three.
