What can the viewers expect of season 5?

Thursday, July 10, 2008 by
So, Bravo has continued its brilliant "promoting by not promoting it" approach to Season 5 (hey, it's the talk of the internet) by releasing an incredibly vague video.




YAWN.

Using the power of bitch, let's see what they're REALLY saying.



"I think this year I'm gonna get pregnant again! Meine titsen always look spectacular and I get to eat!"


"I'm so fucking tired. I haven't had a day off in 4 years."


"ELLE MAGAZINE CAN SUCK MY GORGEOUS COLOMBIAN TIT!"


"I think Lifetime is a wonderful opportunity for us to -- what? Oh. Um, it's a really creative group this year. On Bravo."


"Also, I might go back to the bangs again. This mophead look is not the best for me, no?"


"On the other hand, they let me wear PINK this year!"


"Everyone knows that Marie Claire is the nexus point for the fashion world, anyway."


"This isn't for Lifetime? What day is today?"


"I love when I get to stand on the runway in a really short skirt so everyone can see my fraulein bits! That's the BEST."


"You don't think the pink is too much, do you?"


"Lifetime, Bravo. Whatever. If it moves my clothes off the racks, it's all good."


"Anne Slowey is fat."

Thank you, my monitor and keyboard have been thoroughly bathed in latte.

Just when I thought, "maybe I won't watch this season because who wants to be tied to their TV in the summer?" I now HAVE to just for your commentary. Weinstein owes you boys some DOUGH.

I heart you TLo.

Hahahahahahaha. Fabulous, gentleman, simply fabulous.

At this point, if it wasn't for PRG I'm not so sure if I'd be watching this show anymore.

Love you bitches!!!

Screencap + "I'm so fucking tired. I haven't had a day off in 4 years."

Priceless.

Hee! So funny. The only interesting part in that whole interview was Nina saying that it'd be more punk and edgier. Which duh, after only "innovation" is awarded, of course you're going to get that style more.

Do you boys live in their minds? I thought you had a fab place in Philly!

Oh fabulous! Thanks, guys, you are the gift that keeps on giving. Hilarious!

LMFAO! you two are the best!

how many times can they use the word "diversity"? it sounds so desperate.

Oh, there's a new post! And screencaps! Why do you guys even have to work? Can't you just do this all day? Please?

You define fabulosity. Like so many others, I am only planning to watch this because of you.

So many funny lines, but this one is my favorite:

"I'm so fucking tired. I haven't had a day off in 4 years."


Love you boys!!!!!!!

The Tim & Heidi commentary are the BEST! And in all likelihood, 100% spot on!

Oh, and I agree totally agree with everyone posting that you guys are probably the only reason viewers will tune in for what looks like PR's last hurrah.

Oh, you boys always come through with your Nina screencaps! I remember why I fell in love with your site in the first place!

And smiling about the "Haven't had a day off in 4 years" bit too.

If I had mountains of disposable income I'd give a majority of it to you bitches, because you're better than movies & tv combined!

Brooklyn Bomber said...

"Unless my viscera betrays me" ???
Did I hear right, did TG really say that, or has my viscera betrayed me?

I think the most honest moment was when TG said, "I'm overwhelmed!" -- they all sound quite brain dead, like they sat them down at the end of several very long days, stuck mics in front of them, and said, "Quick, whaddya think of the new season, huh?!"

Love the captions, boys.
Ann Slowey is fat.
Tee hee.

oh the bitchery! oh the camp!

if only Season 5 had THIS much FUN to look forward to!

but wait. we have NO IDEA what to look forward cuz there is BARELY ANY promo!

It's a strange silence that I am utterly uncomfortable with.

I just have this sinking feeling that this season will be a complete NUTJOB - and NOT in a good way.....sigh.

Anonymous said...

Hilarious! Now I can't wait for season 5 : )

Gee, i hope there's some diversity in the this round's contestants. Sounds like they've got everything BUT diversity going for them.

....No wait, just rewatched the spot and i was wrong: they seem to ONLY have diversity.

Christian is very very talented! I see a lot of opportunity for "PPS". He has been a success, as a personality! It is still to be seen if he will succeed as a fashion designer, have a successful label, and reach the level of his mentors (McQueen/Westwood). I sincerely wish him all the best he is so talented! I think it is premature to call him a success! It puts far too much pressure on him prior to launching his first independent collection.
BTW you two are Hilarious!!!

I had the same reaction when I heard Nina saying that. It's way too early to call him a success story.

I cannot wait for the new season, just so I can read your recaps.

TLo, this is some of your best work ever! You two should edit PR.

After seeing that video, my viscera says Season 5 is going to be a punk freak show.

Well, since my computer at work has no sound i won't be able to watch the video version until i get home, but who needs it anyway? your screencaps are MUCH, Much more entertaining... thanks for the morning bright spot!

Oh dear God, but that was funny. I didn't bother to view the "genuine version" - why bother when I have yours?!

Love your interpretations.

But what the heck is with the flipping the screens? The red bolt of fabric at eye level and the shorter, thicker lime green are on the right side and then on the left side and ....repeat til vertigo sets in.
Or do the stars have a "You must photograph me from my right side" clause in their contracts?

Great post, guys; A+

I have a conspiracy theory that I haven't heard anyone float by yet. They won't show the new cast, they won't show any new designs, they're focusing ads on contestants from past seasons, there's been talk of revisiting challenges from past episodes, and in this latest promo they seem to be talking around the new season rather than about it.

My theory: they're going to spring an All-Stars season on us.

After an absolutely craptastic past couple o'days, the two posts from you boys today(here and TLO) have been sunbursts!

Many, many thanks, and keep 'em coming.

American Idol has managed an Oscar-winner, some grammy-winners, and assorted drama queens on Broadway stages and the like. PR has managed exactly...what in the end with its winners? PUSHING Christian on us as if no one realizes what it takes to be a real successful designer (i.e. McQueen doesn't look so much like some designer who inspired him, Christian does too much) and having one real serious refusal in the creative off-tangent of Jay-who-never-updates-his-blog...

Meh, it's just not clear WHAT they want, and that is not desire, that's just middle-of-the-road caution...

I loved the Season 4 contestants so much... for me the only way they could top Season 4 would be if all the contestants were hot gay porn stars who would never wear shirts for the duration of the competition... and they only designed clothes for male models.

Keep that in mind, Bravo, if you need an idea for a killer new show.

WHAT THE F*** IS BRAVO WAITING FOR?
(for project runway to come back? ain't gonna happen!)
GIVE TLO THEIR OWN SHOW!!!

(Jo & Slade? Seriously? Come on...)

"ELLE MAGAZINE CAN SUCK MY GORGEOUS COLOMBIAN TIT!"

Hilarious!

Suddenly I don't care where the show winds up, as long as you 2 provide the snark , it's all good!

Unknown said...

Touche', mes amis! I agree with Doug (he just beat me to it to get it on here). I am strongly thinking that it's going to be some sort of all-star type season, where everyone (except Daniel Franco, hopefully, 'cause he's done it already) have a second chance. If you take a few personalities from each group, you could definitely have a very diverse group. And with the ads? Yeah, it has to be something like that.

That was one of the best screen-cap convos I have ever seen. Nina's tit comment was the best. xD LOL

I'm still giggling! I don't think I'm going to watch Season 5; I think I'm just going to read Project Rungay since that will be loads much more fun!

That Mood backdrop is so weird.

I just got a flash:

Maybe they didn't film this season in New York!

There were never any "Tim spotted at Mood with a group of designers" or "Rucker spotted driving a group of freaks around town" rumors, were there?

Maybe they took the freaks to Paris. That'd be too expensive wouldn't it?

Maybe they shot it in L.A. -- Ha! That'd be funny.

Hmmmmm. Back to my nap. Jesus, it's hot today.

What is up with the diversity, diversity, diversity comments. And then what worries me is the "big personalities" comment and the "look for lots of drama". I don't watch it for that much drama. I am afraid. But if nothing else I will get to read your reviews and laugh.

"I love when I get to stand on the runway in a really short skirt so everyone can see my fraulein bits! That's the BEST."

I've always thought the same! And have imagined the contestants saying in their minds, "keep your eyes on her face, keep your eyes on her face, keep your eyes on her face."

Trust TLo to find the subtext.

No matter where I work, I surf PRGay and end up snickering and chortling as I do. My coworkers always think I'm a nutcase.

Okay, they would anyway, but this just gives them rock solid evidence.

You guys saved S4 for me. I rely on you to do the same if S5 is a tanker, too.

Stubenville said...

I think I have stumbled on a way to rescue PR5; Woody Allens's 1966 classic What's Up Tiger Lilly. Allen took a grade B Japanese spy movie and added a hysterically funny new soundtrack making the plot the quest for the worlds best egg salad recipe.

Fast forward to 2008, Tom and Lorenzo sitting comfortably in their swanky Philadelphia townhouse watching PR5 and a speedy typist doing a simultaneous translation of their snarks and imagined dialogue into subtitles! We get to watch PR5 with simultaneous humor from T&Lo! Now how do I get to pitch this to the producers???

If Heidi has titsen, shouldn't she too have "bitsen?" ;-)

Poor Tim looks spent. Probably from being forced to tape that show with the grating and tasteless Gretta Monahan. I can't wait for y'all to savage the new rendition. Veronica Webb will look like Baby Jesus next to her replacement.

Go Nina! At least you don't have an eating disorder like other bitches who shall be remain nameless....
