Project Runway, 8/25/11


Team challenge! Oh, get over it, complainers. Designers are not islands unto themselves. And good riddance, Cecilia. I get so mad when designers up and quit. They shouldn’t have applied in the first damn place, taking that slot from some other struggling, up-and-coming designer who desperately wanted the opportunity and wouldn’t have wasted it. Losers.






Tee hee, let it never be said that all gay guys run like girls. Olivier (LOVE) does, bless his skinny little heart, but did Josh fly or did Josh fly? Dude flew. Winners: Josh, Bryce, Anthony Ryan, and Viktor. Ha! You just got served, you slow, wheezing, out-of-shape heterosexuals! Not that I’ve got room to talk, lol, cuz I would have come in last after Bert—OH MY GOD, NO! OLIVIER (LOVE) DOWN! OLIVIER (LOVE) DOWN! DON’T JUST STAND THERE, HEIDI; GIVE HIM MOUTH-TO-MOUTH! DON’T JUST STAND THERE, TIM GUNN; START CPR! SAVE HIM! SAVE—oh. Whew! He’s not dying. I knew he was ok when he was feeling good enough to be mad at himself: “I would have loved to be the captain. Unfortunately, I had to fall like a bitch.” Ha ha ha! Chin up, Olivier (LOVE). Everybody falls.

The casual wear challenge. Meh. Always fun to see what the designers come up with when they are specifically ordered to relax and not do high fashion, but I usually don't like clothes created for this look. Plus, some simply cannot do it and send the model down the runway in a cocktail dress and sneakers. Oh, and speaking of ordered, it’s genius—genius, I tell you—that every season Heidi uses the designers to make a look (or three) for her NB line. The designer gets the satisfaction of winning; she and NB get mad profit off sales. Win-win!

I’m closely analyzing this Bert-is-hard to work with belief. I don’t see it. Yes, he and Viktor butted heads, but that’s cuz Viktor’s impossible. In this challenge, however, he just seems to have teammates, Anthony and Laura Kathleen, who don’t want to give him a chance. Which I don’t get, cuz he won the first challenge, so he’s obviously skilled. This is just age-ism, if you ask me. Joshua’s severely condescending attitude toward Becky is SUPER annoying me. Reminds me of Bryce’s pretentious she-didn’t-know-how-to-cut-on-grain horror with Fallene. I do not want Josh or Bryce to win. Oh GOD. Becky’s a crier. *eye roll* I don’t understaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that. If Josh had told me my clothes looked “dowdy,” he would have felt my wrath, not seen my tears. But points to Josh for apologizing. That was big of him.


A big hearty laugh at how Anthony and Laura Kathleen just had to stand there and look stupid while the judges said their clothes sucked and Bert’s looked the best (and Bert got in some catty remarks, lol). Arrrrrrgggggghhhh, will Olivier (LOVE) EVER make something I like? I HAAAAATED that dress, and I DOUBLE HAAAAAAATED it with sneakers. “Farm dress,” Michael Kors called it. Oh well. I’m going to give him a(nother) pass, because he was on a winning team, yay!, and because I pretty much hated EVERYTHING on the runway this episode. And it's not just my casual-challenge dislike; the judges had trouble deciding who was worst, and Heidi couldn’t pick one collection that she liked the best. She had to pick and choose between two. Wise move, girlfriend.


Bottom two: Anthony Ryan’s gray god-awful bad-crotch disaster, or Danielle’s 853rd bad green chiffon blouse. I agree with Heidi’s hatred of AR’s disaster, but yeah, Nina had a point: AR has potential. But Danielle just keeps doing the same (bad) thing. Buh bye, Danielle!
