Project Runway

posted by on January 2 at 22:00 PM

Sorry, folks, but the liveblogging software isn’t working. Tragic.

10:05 PM: Ricky is already weeping. And Heidi’s makeup is fu-huh-ucked up. And I think, since I can’t access the liveblogging software, I’m just going to sign off and watch the show. But I have to agree with the woman who just said she was traumatized by being wakened by Tim Gunn. I would be too.

Can’t… just… watch… must… comment…

10:10 PM: Hershey’s Time Square—the sweetest place in New York. Ugh. Bad American chocolate and folks are jumping up and down with delight? Chris looks like he’s in heaven. Wait—they’re making clothes out of candy? WTF? Yes, thanks Michelle—thanks for letting us trash your store.

10:12 PM: Ack, Santino Rice! What’s with the trotting out of previous season’s contestants every week? All it does it drive home how lame this season’s contestants are. And does anyone really care where Santino goes for inspiration?

10:17 PM: I don’t remember anyone’s names. No one is making a lasting impression, and the two week break didn’t help. Hm… blue teddy bears and brown pillows… a print. That’s going to be fugly. But Chris’s dress looks cool. “Real food is not practical,” says Chris. No comment.

10:21 PM: Severe head injury—that explains a lot. It doesn’t, however, excuse naming your daughter “Caliape,” however that word is spelled.

10:23 PM: “Jillian, what are you doing?” “Crashing and burning, Tim.”

10:24 PM: Tim to Sweet Pea: “It looks like a coffee filter or a maxi pad.” That can’t be good, right? And… uh… Ricky’s outfit looked good in that quick shot, didn’t it? Is that why they didn’t show us the Tim/Ricky interaction.

10:30 PM: Project Runway is brought to you by Hershey Chocolate.” Yeah, no shit. Says MadameCrow in comments: “today’s lesson: never take a risk with twizzlers.” Too true. Jillian is going down… or maybe not. They’re drawing so much attention to her and her troubles and that’s usually a sign that someone else is going down. Unless the producers are as dull as this season’s contestants and they’re not faking us out anymore.

10:33 PM: Says Chris… “I have been there, exactly where she is, using real food and having it fall off.” I want more details about that incident. Christian re: Sweet Pea: “Her dress was a hot mess.”

10:35 PM: Okay, here’s hoping one of the designers finally—finally—explodes at the judges. “This doesn’t look wearable,” says Michael Kors. “Yeah, Michael. We had to make these dresses out of CANDY WRAPPERS, you dumb bitch! You ever do that? You wanna give a whirl and see how ‘wearable’ a dress you can come up with, you MISERABLE BITCH?!?!” It really is about time—the challenges this season have been nearly impossible. It’s time for someone who knows he/she is going down to take a chunk out of the judges.

10:39 PM: Okay, someone got to Heidi’s face and fixed her makeup. Good thing.

Ricky’s dress: nice, but a bit tarty.

Chris: Looks like a tube sock—nice use of materials. But not fitted.

Kit: It’s a mess.

Kevin: Eh.

Elise: A mess.

Christian: He thinks his outfit looked amazing!

Pea: She pulled it off.

Rami: NIce.

Jillian: No Twizzlers fell off her dress! She pulled it off!

Victoria: The “ice princess” pose didn’t work. The dress is boring.

10:43 PM: Rami—he impressed the judges. Elisa—no joy in her dress. Come Elisa, explode! Explode! Someone explode! Jillian—she’s not going home. Told you so. Victoria—“She works at the Dairy Queen.” Chris—good dress. “This girl could go into a studio and be shot for the pages of Elle.” Sweat Pea—Heidi says it’s boring, Nina says it looks easy, no joy says Michael.

10:48 PM: Who do you think is gonna win? I’m hoping it’s Chris. But I think it’ll probably be Jillian—edible garment and all. Who’s going home? I’d say Sweat Pee—and, man, is Sweet Pea’s model a little too skinny or what?

10:53 PM: From the comments: “I think the guest judge has a boner for Rami.” I think he’s the sleeper sex symbol this season—now that Jack’s giant tits are off the show, Rami’s hotness can be appreciated.

10:55 PM: Here we go…

10:55 PM: Here we go... Chris is in... and the winner is... Rami!

10:57 PM: The loser... it's between Elisa and Sweat Pee... I predict Elisa is going home.

10:58 PM: Elisa's "sad brown dress" gets her booted. I'm going to miss her--she's nuts, traumatic head injury and all, but she had a distinct personality. I'm going to miss her. Next week--hey, it looks like Christian snaps at the judges next week. Good for her.

11:00 PM: Okay, that's it. Sorry that we didn't have the liveslogging software up and running, and I couldn't incorporate your comments. Same time next week, people.

biggest shocker: christian changed models and didn't call his new one "fierce"

biggest non-shocker: kevin bummed about losing gay roommates.

So I'm guessing Jillian has a pants-being-held-up-problem. A few weeks ago she wore overalls and now she's wearing suspenders. Me no likey.

I dont buy it, Tim. You cannot believe that is all "great stuff"!

This is a great opportunity for Project Runway's first pair of edible panties. Now which one was the lingerie designer?

How great would it have been if Sweet P used one of those ceramic shards to cut Christian?

that looks like a maxi pad? hahahaha. obviously tim is clueless there.

I have been thinking since episode 1 that Rami is almost too professional for this competition.

Also, Keanue Reeves looks/acts the same either way

Is anyone else weirded out by those Wendy commercials? The red pig tails freak me out.

Kors: that dress is so unwearable mother of the bride with an insane crotch at a funeral.

All this fucking candy fashion! I finally broke down and am digging into the See's candies from X-mas. This episode is a dentists and cardiologists wet dream.

pants men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess I'm going to have to drop my "I love her, but..." disclaimer when discussing Elisa's clothes. It just takes too much time. Girl produces lots o' ugly.

And I think that's who the "hot mess" comment was directed at, because a lot of times I think that's an overused phrase but in this case i thought... you know, it does sort of simmer in its own filth, here.

Posted by sniggles | January 2, 2008 10:39 PM

Fuck You Market Optical. I won't buy your trendy glasses.

Also, Tyson Beckford is sooo goddamn hot.

Yeah, I am commenting on the commericals, whateves. I do what I want.

Holy fuck! Was that just a HOT GAY version of the Levi's commercial? Jesus. I feel... sticky.

OK, Kit should win for incorporating Kit Kat wrappers into her dress...

Posted by Brad | January 2, 2008 10:41 PM

does Sweet P think that here model is in a independence day parade?

does Chris look surprised that his dress turned out or just hungry?

Posted by josh | January 2, 2008 10:43 PM
42

Holy fuck I love Chris' and Christians. Jesus.

Kits was cute. Uber punk.

Rami's is fucking awesome, so great.

The fit on Jillians is weird.

Crazy lady's looks bad.

Uh oh,,,eyebrow raise!

Posted by Original Monique | January 2, 2008 10:43 PM

and the zombie model walk award goes to...

Posted by Nay | January 2, 2008 10:44 PM

someone is going to give jillian praise for using actual edible items.

Posted by madamecrow | January 2, 2008 10:44 PM

Recee's wrappers FTW. Ef this show. ROFLMAO.

It's Jillian tonite.

And Michael Kors is a hateful bitch.

the judges are being such assholes tonight

Michael sucks the joy right off the runway.

My favorite part of the night is for sure the Levi's commercial.

Posted by Nay | January 2, 2008 10:48 PM

Of course the hateful producers had to include a shot of Chris devouring the dresses.

Posted by Brad | January 2, 2008 10:49 PM
51

Hum, I have no idea the winner. I want Rami to win.

Loser...I think Sweet Pea

Posted by Original Monique | January 2, 2008 10:51 PM
52

I think Rami should win. I'd totally wear that. The licorice? Cute and awesome, but so not wearable and the top moves awkwardly.

So ditch the judges! Borrring.

Posted by Nay | January 2, 2008 10:51 PM
53

I think the guest judge has a boner for Rami.

Posted by skweetis | January 2, 2008 10:51 PM
54

I don't think they should reward Chris for NOT sucking so much. It's not the best garment, it's just an improvement over his previous shiz. That's lame.

Posted by Nay | January 2, 2008 10:54 PM
55

Fuck....the suspense! I think Sweet Pea

Posted by Original Monique | January 2, 2008 10:57 PM
56

Having recently sculpted a snake out of red vines, I can say that Twizzlers MUST have a lot more plasticity and give to them, or she'd never have been able to curve them around that bodice. So in this case Twizzlers are indeed the better choice.

I'm gonna be pissed if Sweet P is out.

Posted by leek | January 2, 2008 10:57 PM

What happened to Christian?

As an outro..ricky bobbi in tears, go figure.

bye, bye crazy. I love how they had to really show just how downright CRAZY she was before letting her wander off.

tune in next week, when Christian will be "sassy" and Ricky will cry.

Posted by josh | January 2, 2008 11:02 PM
62

You know, I think if anyone is interviewed with any sort of confessional information early in the episode (Elisa's car crash,etc.) that must be a sign they're going home. Hopefully little twink Christian will be giving one of those confessionals soon...

I think the winner this season is Heidi Klum; I think she looks consistently fabulous every episode, with a new look each and every time.

She wins.

Project Runway is in the death throes and we all know it. Reality series are rarely good past a couple of seasons and this is no exception. Season one was classic....Morgan the model from Hell and that SUPER fun reunion show! Season 2 was okay but highly lacking in talent (WTF Cloe won?!?!?) and Season Three had the two funnest gay boi bitches: Robert and Kayne. This season blows badly...

I'm confused by the Levi's commercial - isn't the target audience of Project Runway straight guys?

Posted by freshnycman | January 3, 2008 7:40 AM

@62 - I totally agree. The "life story confessional" seems to be a pretty consistent heuristic for who will be getting the boot in any particular episode.

Well, I wish you'd liveblogged the Tonight Show and David Letterman instead.

I know they're live now, but they still feel ... "off".

Posted by Will in Seattle | January 3, 2008 10:56 AM

ugh, season three was the worst fucking thing ever. when they kept delaying vincent's execution, and then brought him back at the end, it was OBVIOUS the producers were telling the judges how to vote.

Just start a series of nothing but Jay talking about Kara Saun all the damn time.

sincerely,
diggum
