Garbage In, Garbage Out - 
by EdHIll
From here they are brought to an art supply store in Manhattan where they have 20 bucks and twenty minutes to get there supplies. Vincent spends about 15 bucks on glue to inhale and some sharpies, while everyone else gets paint and glue. When they get back to the workroom Tim tells them the bad news. They only have until midnight tonight to finish the dress. That's only ten hours. As opposed to the other challenges where they have at least a day or two, and things like fabric and sewing machines. Damn, Heidi wasn't kidding.
"A designers 'bridge line' like Calvin Klein's CK, is a line priced well below that designers signature collection."
When they start working we see everyone's ideas start to take shape. Angela to my delight says "I love, love, love patchwork, so I am going to go with what I know." What I liked best is that Angela felt she had to explain to us that she loves patchwork. That's like Michael Kors feeling the need to tell everyone he meets that he's gay. There's really no need. Alison is trying to get a striped skirt together but warns that with the time constraints there is no room for error. Michael meanwhile is taking a very Zen like attitude and letting the materials speak to him. Vincent of course takes a similar tact. He just lets it come. He doesn't "own the future" you see. Cut to my Laura telling us that she thinks Vincent is about to crack. "He is not mentally stable" she says with a tinge of fear in her voice. You can't really argue with her, especially when they cut to him standing there staring off into space worth his patented Vincent grimace.
Later we see Robert and Kayne sitting down to a quick dinner. Robert then lispily says "Lets trash talk someone!" Good job Robert, nothing like reinforcing those gay stereotypes. Then they begin to badmouth Laura. But they do a pretty piss poor job of it. Hell I'm as straight as they come, New York TVgasm Happy Hour notwithstanding, and I trash talk better then these two. Here's an example of their ultimate burn skills;
Kayne; She kissed me on the cheek today."
Robert: "I know. I was like you better not get a rash."
Really? That's the best they can come up with? I'm betting that at some point this season one of them will respond to criticism by saying "Oh yeah? Well, I'm rubber and you're glue so whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you!" And god forbid someone starts a "yo momma so fat"athon.
Jeffrey meanwhile is joining in on the bash Laura bandwagon. He is "bored to tears" by Laura's dress. "Another high waisted skirt?" he says incredulously. He prays that she loses this weeks challenge. Remember Jeffrey is the one who thinks he is the most talented one yet has yet to win a challenge and has been close to being eliminated more than once.
Later that night Alison is in the mist of a crisis. Unfortunately her skirt looks like something Max Headroom's girlfriend would wear. And there is only 5 hours left to work. She then decides to abandon her Rubik's cube skirt and wing it. She is now just crumpling up paper and draping it as a makeshift skirt. She's like a cute well fed homeless girl.
Robert however loves the whole idea of the challenge, doing a complete 180 from his "I don't work with garbage" comment from earlier. "I love the idea of recycling. plastics. Papers. Ex boyfriends." Oh , no he D'int! And by that I mean "Oh no he did not think that that was even remotely funny". Well, now at least he is going against the gay stereotype. Most gays I know actually have a sense of humor.
Speaking of funny, everyone literally laughs out loud when Kayne drapes his skirt over his form. It's a giant piece of construction paper with a big lime green flower painted all over the side. Laura describes it as the "clear dog in the room". Even Kayne realizes what a nightmare it is and admits that he went over board and that it looks like a "toad exploded all over it". OK, when I woke up today I never thought the image of an ejaculating frog were going to occupy my thoughts, but I guess that's the beauty of Project Runway isn't it? As he sits there looking at it with Laura standing next to him he says "It looks horrible". Laura just laughs and says "Yeah I know." I like Laura more and more every day.
Jeffrey meanwhile is getting cocky. He is convinced he is going to win this challenge and just laughs and laughs. Over on the other side if the room Michael is having a small moment in the corner when he gets to unveil his winning dress. "I've been waiting a long time for this" he says beaming. And I mean beaming. My boy got some bling in his mouth (are we still allowed to say bling, or is that now as stupid as the "izzle" thing?). Then in his diary interview he shows us a piece of paper he keeps with him at all times that says "I will make Project Runway and I will win Project Runway". Yeah well Michael, I hate to say it but I also have a piece of paper in my wallet that says "Queen Amidala will fall in love with me and we will live in a castle with an Xbox 360 and Playstation 3." But it hasn't come true. Yet.
