I am SO glad he's gone. As for the travails of being gay in Utah, I'm sympathetic, but I think there might be other ways to get out of that state that don't involve winning prizes.

I was hoping he'd be the next to go. I think the lesson here (and with Daniel) is DON'T fight with the judges no matter how snarky they get about the crap you threw together that only your close friends tell you is cool.

And lose that rediculous rat tail, for Smith's sake!

What the hell is going on with his hat? Some sort of urban/hick crossover?

Jezebel summed it up best: "Gay Mormon Meltdown". Keith was cute if he didn't open his mouth, and he was a total fuckwad to his model.

ARGH! As soon as I noticed this was a PR post, I tried to skip past it... but I totally couldn't avoid seeing that this was about Keith getting the boot. I'm normally not one to whine about spoilers but... cmon! It's only the day after the episode! And there was no way not to see what you said! Please help other sad sacks like me who couldn't watch last night's episode.

I have been resisting the PR naysayers who moan about how the show has gone downhill. BUT, I just cannot get into this season. I have found myself watching the opening, and then coming back to it when the runway show starts and for the analysis of the outfits (we don't have Tivo).

I just can't make myself care about the contestants this time around. Plus, orange mango dude from Seattle definitely wins the award for most annoying contestant....

I still say there was nothing wrong with Keith that a week at Uncle Mark's SleepAway Camp wouldn't fix.

Stella really is great. She's kind of completely ridiculous, but it strikes me as sincere, you know? It's not an affectation. And it seems like she actually has some chops, this episode excluded. I think she's getting to a point where people know enough about her and what she does so that she doesn't entirely need to win- those that want biker clothes know where to find her.

Also, her boyfriend is named Ratbones. I couldn't write that better.

I'm with Leek!!! Double argh!!!! No warning, nothing, just a big-ass picture of the losers head at the top of the page with a good-bye. How can I ignore that?!?!?!?!?!

Leek: Sorry about that. I considered a spoiler alert, but instead I followed the lead of other blogs, which seemed to just be running with it.

The obvious follow-up question: If other blogs jumped off a cliff, would I do it too?

Again, sorry.

I was drafting my fantasy football team while watching this episode. I felt conflicted.

Yay for Leanne!

Thanks, Schmader. Your general awesomeness will probably preserve you from the special hell reserved for Reality Show Spoilers (however, I will still be going to the special hell reserved for people who ever suggest that reality-show spoilers should be cause for anyone's damnation).

Fuck! Um, spoiler alert next time?

Well I guess I can delete it off my TiVo.

Here's a suggestion: Instead of lame ass excuses, how 'bout you use your magic blog powers and put it after a jump...?

David,

It's not to late to "unspoiler" this, is it? Can't you change what you posted?

To all you whiners about having the show ruined for you:

I didn't get a chance to watch the DNC coverage last night... should all posts about it be under a jump so I don't have the surprise ruined?

Please, accept the fact that once something has aired on TV, it is fair game for internet discussion.

What's so cute about him? Seriously, his physical appeal escapes me--did he have his shirt off in an episode I missed or something? And he is really annoying and humorless.

I too love Stella, and dorky portland girl.

I have to say, even our native orange son is growing on me. He just need to learn to tailor!

And I love this season, I think the challenges are better than last season, and it has better snark from the judges.

The judges seem to have a soft spot for Stella, too. How can you not? She's a one trick pony, but she does that rock&roll shit really well.

I actually love this season. Although, Suede still makes me cringe every time he talks. And, god, can he lay off the shout outs to all the dead men in his life?

Thank you Schmader. You're a doll!

I was happy to see Leanne win too, although those woven seatbelts were gr8. God, Kenley is so fuckable.

Akbar: Of course it's fair game for internet discussion. But unlike the DNC, Project Runway's outcome isn't so important that it needs to take its rightful place in the current-events pantheon. Slog has talked about TV and movies behind jumps in the past and it's a pleasant courtesy. Also, suck it!

I hate Stella. Another bogus one-note rock chick. Kenley is only fuckable if there's some way to glue her lips together or something so she can't talk; she is a seriously annoying ueberbitch. Terry, in contrast, makes bitchiness fun, the way it should be.

I disagree about this season; I think it's terrific, maybe the best yet. Clueless nimrod contestants = comedy gold. This is much, much, much better than Season 4, even if the talent level isn't as high

"Spoiler" boobs: It's not a spoiler if it describes things that have already happened. PR was last night. If you missed it, that's your problem, not anyone else's.

Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father!

@19 I agree. Blain bugged the crap out of me at first, but I think he was just wound up from getting out of West Seattle. He's settled nicely, and if he had only fixed the boobs on his dress, he probably would have gotten a pass on it.
Other wise- yay that Kevin and Daniel are gone. Those were the two I disliked the most. Now I don't know who I want to leave.

@25 Bastard! How dare you spoil Star Wars for me? Next you are going to tell me Princess Leia is actually Luke's sister.

how is leanne a dork?! she's the coolest girl in school.

the woven seatbelts were awwwwwful. it looked like a giant harvey's seatbelt bag -- same shape, same look.

Leanne is the hottest chick who's ever been on the show -- and that very much includes The German and all the guest judges.

i love stella because she reminds me of penny marshall. and no episode beats last weeks tragically amazing appearance of rupaul. its found its permanent place in my tivo.

I think he was booted because of his sick-nasty rat tail.

Kenley would continue talking all the way through it (her lisp is even kind of hot though). It is kind of a good season, wish they'd ditch Heidi, that queen Mikey Kors (who had sand in his vagina last night?) and that hack Garcia (editor-at-large? my ass!). More Tom Gunn please - he's surpassed himself by being even nicer than previous years.
