Project Runway: And Then There Were 13

July 31, 2008 by Svetlana  Send to a Friend

Our weekly p.runway recap blog-a-log continues:

This week in the land of competing for camera time:
-Tim learns to say “Holla at cha boy!” and then makes up for 6 decades of not saying it by repeating it 18 times in 35 seconds
-Daniel professes that he is “sad Wesley left because he felt they had a connection” leaving the first of many boy-on-boy make out dreams crushed
-Suede keeps referring to himself in third person but receives decidedly less screen time for it
-Kelli VISITS EVERYONE’S WORK STATION EVERY HOUR ON THE HOUR and tells everyone “pretty”
-Joe, after 2 episodes of sharing a room with a beauty mask wearing Jerrell and red shorts wearing Blayne rolls his eyes for the first time
-Stella’s brain stops functioning. Period.
and
-Sandra Bernhard guests as a judge (I love the woman but have you ever seen her in a tasteful outfit in your life?)

Oh yeah…and Kenley wins and Emily gets eliminated

The challenge (which at this point seems to be the least important part of the series as all they are doing is designing party dresses) is to “Design a party dress inspired by NYC”.
Which is a HUGE stretch from last week when they had to “Design a party dress for their model (who lives in NYC)”

NOT.

Anyhoo…people crumble, but not really, since, you know, it’s only TV, Stella cannot figure out how to use a digital camera, Keith develops a serious inferiority/gay shame and pride problem, Leanne keeps being creepy but somehow awesome this time around, Jennifer sinks further into her hole of self-loathing, and Kenley, who is working with some seriously scary yet amazing fabric announces mid episode that :
“Emily’s dress is poorly made and has been done before a million times and am instantly worried for her”

And you just know that the girl’s days are numbered, as BRAVO’s editing may be a lot of things, but subtle it ain’t.

The actual runway is sort of underwhelming but…
Here are the winning and the losing designs:

And I will say I overall agree with the winning designs (Kenley’s (whose dad is a tugboat captain!) was hands down the coolest, Terri’s backless number was something I’d try on in a heartbeat but Leanne’s lil’ black numero was my favorite, if I could buy it tomorrow, I would) but I have to say that:

a. Jennifer, who is as boring as she is chinless should have been eliminated
b. Heidi is determined to eliminate all the pretty people first (how adorable was Emily in her little sheer top and her teeny headband????) so that she can be the fairest one of them all
c. Joe’s creepy corset, Jerrell’s weird matador puke green number and Blayne’s maxi skating outfit were just as bad if not worse that what got eliminated (and I love Blayne. Now)

But overall, minimal judging shame involved this week.

Next week:

A PROJECT RUNWAY FIRST! DESIGN A PARTY DRESS! FOR HEIDI!
(who is a model. living in nyc.)

Or something as exciting.
And I cannot beleive I will say this BUT: Hopefully someone cries.
Just to shake things up a little.
