ROCKIN' THE SUB--oh, wait, not so much.

...my little brother is disappointed.

I don't want to write about Project Runway this week. That challenge was stupid. I think they are running out of ideas. Each person chooses from a selection of 12 out-dated ugly styles then they are put into groups of three. They are responsible for combining all three different looks into three different outfits that are cohesive together as if they were to be used in the same fashion show. Translation: Mix three different styles that are so ugly, no one wants to wear them anymore. And when they come out still ugly we will yell at you. And everyone's volunteering to be group leader, like they don't know the group leaders always get sent packing. Duh, watch the fucking show. The leaders are Christian, Chris, Ricky, and Jillian. Ricky has Victorya and Elisa on his team and Ricky and Victorya don't get along. Victorya tries to act as leader and Ricky isn't down with that. They blame each other for everything. And then Elisa is holding up her dress, it's better than Victorya's and Ricky's craptasticness, and she's like Who made this? This is nice! I should try making a dress like this and they are like You made it, it's yours and she's like No shit? I am bad-ass. Wait til I tell my friends back on my home planet. She's going to be in the final three I bet.

Then Jillian has Kevin and Rami. Kevin works really slow and Jillian is freaking out because the jean shorts he makes are not fitting and it comes down to the wire, but the SURPRISE he figures out how to sew a pair of fucking shorts. WHOOPEE FUCKING DOO. And Jillian is bitching at him about how his clothes are ugly, but she showed up wearing OVERALLS on purpose and then is like Oh look, overalls are one of the ugly fashions we have to make. Lucky for me I'm already wearing some! Jealous? She should have pulled a Jack and taken them off and chopped them apart for a pattern, those overalls were shat.

Chris has Sweet P and Steven and they have to work with shoulder pads and a baggy sweater. Christian has Kit and Jack, and they have to combine a zoot suit and pleather. What the hell is a zoot suit? Whatever.

Then after spending the whole show with Ricky and Victorya bitching each other out, making stupid ice skating costumes while everyone else is at least making clothes you could really wear, Jillian wins because her clothes are the least shitty. Christian's is okay too. Between Chris' and Ricky's team, everyone voices their opinion who should be out. Ricky and Victorya vote for each other, Elisa doesn't really vote for anyone, Sweet P doesn't know what to do because her dress is pretty good and she can't believe she put something together right this time, and Chris actually votes for himself, so he put the icing on the cake for himself. Dummy. He had an ugly jacket with huge shoulder pads and since he was the leader of the group, he gets the ax. But really they cut Chris the theater guy because he was too nice and he wasn't making good TV. They only kept that Ricky guy because he yells at people and freaks out and gives them something to put on the show. I call bullshit. At least Chris can sew.

And at the end, after Jillian wins because hers are the least shitty, she is talking mad smack about how she's always going to be on top now, she's the best, blah blah blah. This, coming from the designer who is wearing one of the "bad fashion trends" ON PURPOSE.

This episode sucked. Fuck it. Later.

absolute agreement... there was no way anything with shoulder pads wouldn't look bulky and dated and no shock the person who left wasn't dramatic enough for much screen time.

I'm mostly over the BS names like "Sweet p" and "Kit" ...unless you're a bath and body works scent or a character in A League of Their Own, the names are stupid.

That said, knowing that Jack and one of my favs from Top Chef are together makes my life better and makes me sort of wish they "accidentally" did some porn ;)

Totally agree, Dan.

Personally, I think PR jumped the shark after Season 2. And even then, they picked boring, couch-material-clothes Cloe. But at least PR2 had Nick, Santino, Daniel, Andre, Kara... Actual designers, great dynamic with Tim Gunn, Red Lobster digs AND fun TV.

Agreed! I had a hard time paying attention this week, I thought the challenge was just plain stupid.

And all Ricky does is cry and wear hats and he should have been out.

I soooooo hated to see Chris go this week. he was my favorite. And next week apparently Jack is going. So I am losing my reason for living, piece by piece, chunk by chunk. Ah.... such sorrow. I don't want any more Team Gay guys to leave! What has the world come to when straight guys are as good as gay guys at designing clothes?!? Will I have to start watching football games and drinking beer on the couch??

[Lisa M.]

I agree wholeheartedly. BUT- I must say one thing- doesn't anyone learn from the past???NEVER, and I mean NEVER volunteer to be the team leader! Instant going home! lol

I too am finding this season to be abit boring though I do like Elisa - she has something that is is fresh and unique - she is also so willing to learn that she may suprise everyone in the end. That said I have been watching Project Runway Canada (the epidodes have been posted on Blogging Project Runway for those of us not in Canada) I must say that it is a much better competition.

I love Elisa. She is all chakras and rainforest. And whatever planet she comes from it must be so mellow and full of barrettes.
The other designers are poseurs when it comes to bat shit crazy. Elisa is the real thing. I spit on her.

I loved when they had to design for a guy, because its been all about dresses for 4 seasons. They need to do more mens stuff. (tux, sportswear, etc...). This last episode sucked. Hope it gets better. In my opinion last season was the best group.

[Janie Beaux Banie]

Steven gets on my damn nerves.... seriously.

He should also stop with the Tim Gunn impressions. You can't beat Santino.

[The Ghost of Adrian]

They always have one person who didn't go to design school and doesn't know how to make patterns or sew, one who makes either pageant or drag costumes, etc. I think they probably pick two or three designers they know will go on to the end and fill out the ranks with others who have no chance of winning.

I tried watching the show and I never really got into it.
