Glug, glug, glug. Yep, I’m still trying to drink my pain away over last night’s stupid evil moronic maddening ouster of Epperson on Project Runway. Luckily, Dalton Ross was game for a little imbibing as well. So this morning, we threw our very own Oktoberfest in his office. And just as we were filling our beer steins to the brim, who should pop by but the classy, gentlemanly, and (who knew?) funny Epperson. Check out what the terrifically talented designer had to say about his elimination, this season’s ridonkulous judging, and how he might have brought more of the catty, had he known that’s how Runway rolls. Prost!

I still can’t believe Epperson got eliminated. He totally did not deserve it; & the judges, in past seasons when they weren’t crazy, always HATE ill-fitting pants! & they let 2 pairs of horrid pants go through! It makes no sense.
Even though I wanted to see Epperson go, I did agree it wasn’t the worst fit. Those pants of Christopher’s were crazy bad and illfit.
I agree, I actualy preffered Epperson’s dress to those crazy pants.
I couldn’t believe Epperson was eliminated! Nicholas should have definitely been the one sent home.
3 evils show their true self
poor Epperson has nothing to lose anymore
to be honest of all the guest jugde so far Lohan is my favorite.I’m sick of critis love it but unwearable in real life.
so long epper
I was glad to see Epperson go to be honest.
I liked Epperson and I don’t think his dress was that bad, they allowed designers with worse outfits to continue on in the show.
When you consume crap like fashion shows that celebrate the shallowness and superficiality of modern society, don’t be surprised when they sometimes leave a bad taste in your mouth.
What’s shallow about art? Sorry, but if you were speaking of a modeling show, or a backstabbing game show like Survivor or The Bachelor, I;d be right with you. But there is a huge difference between those shows and ones that give ARTISTS a platform for their work (So You Think You Can Dance, Project Runway). Ignornace leave a worse taste in my mouth than any PR episode.
I agree, I don’t watch Survivor, Big Brother, etc. The few reality shows that I do watch, the people actually have to create something to continue on in the show and win at the end. I may not always agree with the final decision, but at least the winner did something to win.
i love project runway and agree that its art in a way, but I don’t think you should put Survivor on the level of Big Brother since Survivor is vastly superior. A lot of people forget that Survivor basically jump started the genre of reality tv (which I admit has gone to the dogs) and although its not as popular as once before it still has a dedicated fan following, more than 10 million viewers a week and still gets critical acclaim. big brother is trash i admit, i have watched it and dislike it. im guessing you havent watched either show since this comparison is quite ridiculous in my opinion. if you would have said the amazing race and survivor that would have made more sense since they are both quality reality tv competitions. im sorry if i come off as defensive but i think you should actually try to better support statements like that.
Actually, I watch BB, Survivor, etc., which have different focus. However, there is something not fair about PR judging. The other guy on the ‘plank’ with Epperson was a clearly less talented designer and this was another of his designs that was disaster. But PR does that all the time. Even in the Project Runway All Star Challenge, Korto, should have won. The judges appear to pick winners who will give them the most ‘after the show’ celebrity, like the “Fierce” one. Skill is secondary. So I have finally decided to stop watching. For this genre, I will stick with America’s Next Top Model, who’s judging, I think, has been fair.
Pretentious much?
Why is someone who isn’t interested in Project Runway commenting on Project Runway? I wish people would get that this blog is for Entertainment discussion not judgements. If you don’t like the show at all and see no reason for any of us to either, then please, leave the blog and let us discuss without you. No disrespect meant but some taken.
The previous comment is meant for Chappel.
Nicholas or Logan should have been out!! Gah! D:
Althea, Shirin, Gordana and Carol Hannah ftw!
Brilliant. If only the show were this entertaining again.
Sorry but the last design that got you booted off was really not good at all. Not sure what you were thinking Epperson. Did enjoy you on the show and sorry you did not win.
And you’re saying Nicholas or Logan’s outfits are actually better than Epperson’s?
Can you do better Trish lol
Putting words into Trish’s mouth, are you? LOL She didnt like the design and neither did the judges. So what? That dress was very simplistic and did resemble a halloween costume. You dont need to be a designer to recognzie a good design. DUH
Epperson, you are immensely talented and you will be DEEPLY missed. Best of luck in the future.
ARGH! No Epperson and no Ra’mon. My favourites. So annoying. We all know that the judges consult with the producers before kicking someone out, and they were clearly advised to keep in the hottie. I would have been very sorry to see Logan go, but it’s what he deserved. He’s never shone or won a challenge, just been adequate, and he failed miserably on this one. Epperson has had some absolutely rocking, brilliantly made designs. He shouldn’t have gone.
Yeah I didn’t want Logan to go cause he was hot lol but he definitely deserved it. Epperson is my favorite. I’m sorry but the designs come before the designers personally.
In the interview, Epperson came off extremely personable and down to Earth. I’m glad he was able to laugh at the Oktoberfest jokes that were made.
Hey, EW. I think you should do an article for EW Magazine hard copy on the judging atrocities this year to get Lifetime’s and Heidi’s attention.
Clearly, Nicolas and Logan should have been in the bottom two. Their designs were Ugly versus the Ugliest. If the judges were too stupid to choose Nicolas, they could have flipped a coin to see which of the worst should have been seent home.
I have to weigh in and agree that Epp should never have been eliminated. Nicholas had by far the worst outfit and how he got by, I will never know. Show seems somehoe off this season…especially how AWFUL Heidi looks. She is so orange and wears the worst clothes ever. I do enjoy the guest judges though.
and, yes, Epperson should have certainly won with the movie genre dress too (western). Nicholas’ ice queen was hideous and cheesy- just the fabric gave me the creeps.
