Well, we got our first look last night at people who are going to hate us in a couple of months. Let's be judgmental, shall we?
First up is Jay-McCarroll-from-an-alternate-universe, Chris:
Now let's meet Jillian, this season's Alison or "The girl you don't turn your back on."
Chris & Jillian, COME ON DOWN! You're the next contestants on The Price is Right!

I mentioned this over at BPR, but does anyone else recognize her (Jillian) as one of the wanna-be designers from last season's Road to the Runway ep.? I recognize the Victoria Jackson voice, though I think she's applied some curl control since then.
As I remember she had great clothes, so glad she made it on this year.
- CAAF
OK. I HATE both already.
"I want to rule the world" HA!! Alison #2 is something else, isn't she?
I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!
YAY!!! PR Season 4! About fucking time.
That is EXACTLY the thing I thought of when I saw Chris-- I thought they were casting for a Jay McCarroll type. Too funny.
And as for the Long Island girl....I guess we'll see all the creative uses for hair scrunchies & acid washed jeans. Rule the world?? Famous last words...

BTW, Heidi looks gorgeous! Does that mean she has a new stylist? I hope so.
It occurs to me that Project Runway, not to mention the entire fashion world, would be nothing ~ that's nothing ~ without the gays.
I am naming today Fabulous Gay Adoration Day, because the world would be a much drearier place without y'all.

ROFL. Me no like her.
Alison hit me as the second coming of Stacey -- naive with a soupcon of delusion. She'll be the first one out, that's my prediction.
Jillian's another Parson's student:
"One of the designers, Jillian, is a product of the Parsons School of Design. While there, she was honored with the CFDA scholarship award and selected to design the Perrier girl uniform, which was featured as “Parsons Design Star” on MTV college network and nominated for Designer of the Year.
Since graduating in 2003, Jillian has worked for Rugby by Ralph Lauren and Searle. Currently, she's working on her own label while consulting for several companies.
Jillian says she is often inspired by the illustrations of Ruben Toledo and Patrick Nagel, the architecture of Antoni Gaudi and Santiago Calatrava, and the art of Egon Schiele. Other sources of inspiration include military uniforms, armor, ballet, and the idea of incorporating technology into clothing. Ultimately, Jillian’s designs are her visual poetry of the things she loves and a reflection of the world around her. Jillian says she is not satisfied with being just another name on the tag of another dress; it’s her ambition to be revolutionary, fashion-forward, and to one day create a fashion empire of her own."
And here's Fred Flintstone's bio:
"One of the designers, Chris, is totally unique: as an artist, and as a designer. Hailing from San Francisco, he's a self-taught designers who admires the work of Dior and Chanel, while insisting on "bright colored anything" for his personal style.
A freelance costume designer based in New York, his diverse and eclectic client roster includes Cirque du Soleil, Madonna, Joe Boxer, Macy’s, Virgin, Disney, and Thierry Mugler.
Along with Dior and Chanel, Chris lists Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano as some of his fashion influences. However, he says he has always had an unmistakably unique vision and talent that includes sculptural lines, lush fabrics, humor, and an unpredictable use of materials. Chris says he designs for the woman who wants to stand out in a crowd and says, “If you want to make an impression -- I’m your guy.”
oh jill, girl. empty out some of that self you're so full of. like diane von furstenberg. yeah.
These people are either very good (and experienced) designers - as St. Tim stated - or great bullshitters.
yes but todd, it's about fucking time, but ~ WHEN??? what day is SOON?
T-Lo,
Are you covering "Guide to Style"?
I would love to get your snarky takes on the show. Not to mention VW's fashion choices.

Yes, we are, Emma. We'll have a post about the first episode shortly.
God, please make TLo tell the truth about how ass-sucky Tim's new show was last night. Please, please make them not Bravo flunkies and keep them the scathing judgmental queens we need them to be.
A-men.
"Chris & Jillian, COME ON DOWN! You're the next contestants on The Price is Right!"
LOL. I can't wait for the PRGBoys treatment!!
They won't last two challenges.
Is this Jillian on thorazine or what? zzzzzzz
Oh , and last night's Guide to Style.....
almost as boring as Top Design.

YAY! FANTASTIC!
Love you guys!
A quick shout out HAPPY B-DAY to the always witty & adorable THOMBEAU OF FABULON!
Besos, Darling!
Emma P.
Right on macasism! I echo his/her request that you stay true to your original vision ripping the shows you love to watch --
Leopard skin shirt and a green tie?
eccentric? no
tacky? yes
Jillian=Angela w/ (slightly) better clothes. Rule the world? The world (Dr. Seuss's) Horton hears , maybe. Not. Impressed.
Chris looks fragile. Kayne's restraint w/ Andrae's emotional strength.
Not expecting much from either.
Emma P.
Prediction OOMA:
Chris out in the fourth episode.
Jillian in the second.
-- desertwind
Wow, Chris is exactly like Jay. Did he have to audition or did they go to central casting?
Maybe you can refer to him as, Chray or Jis , for your blog.
Look what I just found: "The show may not be as addictive as "Runway" - which returns for another season Nov. 14 - but it's pleasant enough, and it's nice to have Gunn back."
Jillian is so dull in that interview. I don't think she's anything like Alison or Angela.
Oops! I wasn't that far off. The one they hired to play Jay IS an actor.
Chris seems adorable. He's like Jay but not as mean. His laugh makes me laugh.
I don't know, I didn't like Chris' attitude at all. I wanted to be on the show because I wanted to meet Heidi Klum? WTF???
Oh. No.
I just realized the BIGGEST downside to PR4:
PR3's ANGRY LITTLE PEANUT will be BACK, and smugger than ever!
Will the horror never END???
I was talking about the interview part with Chris, not the promo.
I love the new background for PR4!

Me 2. It's gorgeous. It reminds me of the hotel challenge room designed by Carisa.
I meant Carisa from Top Design.
They're so not interesting.
Chris: Clearly an actor seeking exposure.
Jillian: Hello, “Earth to Jillian!” Are you listening?
What is he WEARING?
I think it's quite amusing that the video segment on Chris that is posted starts off with a still of him holding the mannequin's chestal area, and down in the bottom right corner it says "Grab it!" :)
Withholding judgement on these designers as the way Bravo promos them up is never the way they are in the show. Remember, Robert Best said, "It's fun to be the bad guy" but he wasn't bad at all. :)
Jillian tried last season and didn't make it. I don't think people should be allowed to try again so soon. How much can you change about your style or aesthetic in a year?
Jillian rocks!!! We're rooting for you, darling!
Oh God - Jillian - how hard is she trying to compensate for being New Money from Long Island? Like, it's painful. Honey, the Westchester bitches will never invite you out to lunch - not gonna happen. Cute body though.
I'm so over that first queen, I don't even want to remember his name
God, I can't wait for PR to return.

YIKEES! Is there a difference? (Nope).
Bridge & tunnel is bridge & tunnel. Period. Doesn't matter where from. All the same. Remember that next time you want to come clubbing in my neighborhood.

Chris is fabulous! I can't wait to see his deigns.

Over on Blogging PR, there's a picture of Jillian from last season's "Road to the Runway" episode. The second I saw that blouse with the lace-up front and the bad high-waisted '80s floral skirt, I cringed--I remember those all too well.
She's gorgeous, but unless her taste level has improved substantially I predict she'll be gone by the third episode. Either that, or she'll be the female Vincent, creating ugly, dated-looking garments that don't get her auf'ed only because someone else was marginally more incompetent at each challenge.
Oh, and I like Chris. At first I thought, "Oh, shit--another buffoon a la Jay McCarroll," but after seeing him in the interview footage I can tell he's not. That's probably because he's lived in big cities that 1) love his big, fat, fabulous gay self, and 2) have provided a stage for his creativity to shine, so he's already enjoyed some professional success. I don't get any of the bitter bitchiness that makes Jay alternately hilarious and repulsive. So I'm really looking forward to seeing what he'll do.
