“I can see Dmitry’s heritage from my house!”
Hola Gasmii!!! I have been celebrating my 107th birthday for about two weeks at this point so please hang in there if things start to get a little weird…
Thanks for all the kind Birthday wishes and I hope you enjoyed a little slice of the Flip last week! Flipit worked his usual magic on the episode where everyone had to go out and beg for Mood money and then work in teams to design a few looks, including outerwear. Mostly everyone just sat around the workroom trying not to touch the floor.
Project Runway Parkour
Sonjia won for a lovely jacket and Dreads was sent packing for being lovely but having jacked designs. As many of you have pointed out, Dreads has beautiful skin and despite being a skilled mechanic from the 1950s is actually a pretty hot.
You can change Flip’s tire anyday
On to the show! The opening at Atlas has some demoralized folks sitting around marveling at how hard the process is and how many people have fallen already. Dmitry puts out the most Russian of pep talks when he says “I know I am a great designer and I’m just going to do whatever the fuck I want and I’m going to win this.” Yes my little borscht, yes.
On the other side of the house, Elena leads the women in harping on how Dmitry has only put out dresses so far. Sure ladies, if we were to single anyone out for repetition it should surely be Dmitry whose only sin I’ve seen is constantly being awesome. Sorry the judges haven’t realized linebacker chic is the next new thing.
Why don’t you take a dump on the floor in frustration?
The gang meets up with Heidi, who looks especially wall-eyed and under made-up, although she is sporting a slutty club dress seemingly from Forever 21.
Catwalk of shame?
She tells them absolutely nothing as usual and sends them off to the workroom to escape her day-after sex stench. Oh and also we learn that Skunk has big plans. He needs boots and his momma needs boobs. How charmingly southern of you.
They find Mondo in the workroom with Tim. I have zero connection or interest in Mondo since I didn’t see his original season. I did see him in all-stars and just found him quirky and I guess talented, but nothing that really grabbed me. He is relevant because people like him and it turns out he won this particular challenge on his original season. Then they flash back to his win and how he revealed his battle with HIV and I OMG and now understand why people connected with him and rooted for him.
Fans should have rallied together to buy him a headband. Or sleeves

Sonjia’s pants were very, very similar to the pants Mondo won this challenge with back in the day. So much so that when I saw them, I wondered if seeing Mondo made her think of this style.
And its about time Dmitry won something. The judges are blind. He really is far superior to the others on so many levels including intellectually. His comment about Gunnar’s jacket was perfect.
I keep voting for him for fan favorite if nothing else so Elena won’t win.
Blorpheus was so downtrodden and beaten down. I almost felt bad for him…I said “Almost” I would like for Sonjia, Melissa and Dmitry to be the top three.
Where do we sign up for the Hot Tub Party with Tim and Dmitry?
@MrsMiaWallace Happy birthday! And thanks for making me ROFL so much!
My Skunk theory is he got distracted making his road to the runway clothes. And didn’t get his reality show character even picked out good. Much less done. So when we 1st saw him he was trying on his bitch muslin.
But then real people week dumped a golden opportunity on his head. That he was smart enough to grab and run with. So he threw the bitch design out. Since it didn’t fit him good anyway.
( Every week the hmmm real people week and Blorph in general have been started making me go gets another m on it BTW)
It’d surprise me if Mondo’s vision to bring back leg hair as an accessory were to catch on. Even in places where there’s a lot of people that’ve got some to grow out in the 1st place. Most of Asia would end up having to get extensions.
I’ve also got a theory about when they bring contestants back to be a guess judge. I think they tell them to snot it up. I bet for some of them they even bring in a coach. I know some people felt like Mondo wasn’t as sweet and humble on All Stars as when he got robbed. But when did we ever see either 1 of them talk like that?
If I could find the edit button I’d pull the been off of where it says have been started.
Nooooooo! Not my little Skunk! I am SO sad. I will now have a moment of silence for the bitchy little twit who turned out to be the gentleboy/man with a heart of gold. Sigh.
Dmitry is awesome. And finally a win!
While Elena was skipping happily through Mood I looked out my window and discovered Florida had frozen over.
@kthx Right on ….i think the kind skunk was the real one and the angry skunk was his “i am on a reality show i’d better bitch it up” thought process. bummed to see him go
Dimitry is amazing …he is such an ass in an adorable way.
I would take Melissa or Dimitry or Sanji for the win at this point….too soon to call it tho
“I’d like to see the white hole skirt paired with the black hole blouse. Vortex overload.”
Don’t give him any ideas!!
I’m sad to see Skunk go. I would have liked to see Blorph go home for that one way monkey mess, but I understand why they sent Skunk home. I am looking forward to seeing Blorph try to do something different next week, though.
Oh Dmitry…every time he’s on my TV I can’t help but smile. Glad he finally won something. I would buy his outfit.
Elena looked so pretty with her bangs pulled back and her pink lipstick off!
I liked Mondo in his original season and thought he should have won instead of Wretchen, but he seemed kind of full of himself this episode. And his shorts were an insult to everyone with eyes. Anya was awful – she has no right to judge anyone’s sewing skills!
I think it was really the week for blorph to go . . . flowers are not fashion, and he just doesn’t get it! That was a cartoon, not a pattern. I did feel slightly bad for him, only since I don’t think he can absorb anything but praise.
Luscious, I’m glad you mentioned ironing, but any washing period (whoops, I used period) would be disaster on those stupid pleats! Good luck to him . . .
I read Laura Bennets’ blog over one of the older episodes, and she makes it plain that you will always have to work with others, or for others, it is never just you . . . so all the ones that can’t work in teams will never make it.
I think Christopher is the new bitch. He bugged me this episode, but then, I swear, when designers do well, the producers make them throw a challenge so it doesn’t look like they are a front runner, maybe I’m wrong, but how many different shows have you seen someone strong suddenly fail . . .
I no longer like Mondo, but I still love some of his fashion. Ego’s are so ugly . . . and tho I don’t hate Anya as much as some of you, I did think her telling tara she could have pushed more was so stupid!!!
Really happy to see Heidi serve it to Blorph . . . go grrrl!
Oh, and Mrs.Mia, I TOTES forgot to compliment you on the multiple skewerings of that talentless, self righteous, egomaniacal hack that is Anya.
Thank you!
Elena’s Mom isn’t a munchkin – she was sitting on a chair. And I’m fairly certain Blorph’s sister is pregnant. With quadruplets.
When Dmitry made that ‘separates – oooooh!’ statement with jazz hands I fell in love all over again.
Time for Blorph to go home.
I hate having former contestants as judges.
Now – I shall make one exception – PR may bring back Dimtry every season and give him a pretty chair next to Nina’s and Heidi’s. I don’t care if he wins or not, to hear him “judge” everyone else is the highlight of my week.
Besides, if he has already given us lines like “one way monkey” (a now common phrase at my house), how much more could he give us? I adore him.
Mrs. Mia,
Brilliant recap!!!! Every word and picture perfectly recap the episode. Very perceptive, funny and insightful all at the same time.
I too am in love with Dimitry. If he is sent home I will be devasted.
As for those that have commented….insightful comments as well. I agree that Gunner is the “good” one.
Lastly, Anya…I nearly fell off the couch when I heard her ridiculous comments. Really, I don’t know how the people being judged didn’t just roll their eyes and tell her to STFU.
Aw I like Gunnar from the beginning. The beginning! My poor bby.
On a happier note, go Dmitry! It’s about time.
On the “this is my bathing suit” photo, the lines of Kors’ orange makeup mask are clearly visible. Hee! I think he’s been punking us all along.
Blorpheus must have been insufferable in design school. This latest flower pleat reminded me of my eye-in-mouth avatar. And if they don’t cut him this week, I’m going to bring that avatar back.
You’ve been warned.
I was sorry to see Gunnar go too. But I don’t think he’s all that sad about it.
He’s a 22 yr boy that learned to sew from his grandmama. Not even 100% sure yet if he wants to do clothes. And he just did Fashion Week!
Not to mention went on a reality show and reflected good on his home training. You can look at his mom and tell she’s so proud she’s about to bust a gusset.
He told an interview a while back he wasn’t sure what he wanted to do yet. But he did want to be 22. Which he hasn’t had much time to do. Getting ready for Project Runway. I can’t remember the exact quote. Just that it was more sensible than anything I said when I was 22!
Since he left he’s been back in his little village. Doing hair. And using his Facebook to fill up all his slots.
Tim Gunn’s advice is basically rubbish. He’s just there to up the big gay quotient, not that it needs much upping.
Oh, and Chris should have gone home. His clothes are heinous and he’s a wretched little whiny thing. One of these days fat, Indian-Guyanian “pakoda” Ven should sit on his face and cut the cheese.
Tell us how you really feel, Jason.
Oh, and don’t bad mouth my brother.
Love these recaps – you had big shoes to fill, but are doing great!
Re: Christopher’s family – did anyone else think it got a weird edit? We really didn’t see them much, but every time we heard his mom open her mouth she sounded like she was critiquing him or making snide comments. I got the vibe that he wasn’t overly happy that she was there and perhaps she’s not the most supportive mom ever. I think it threw him off this challenge.
Regardless – Dmitry is the best ever! I’m so glad the judges finally liked one of his amazing outfits. He should have already won so many times. “One way monkey” is a common phrase in my house now, too.
These judges seemed almost to deliberately withhold praise from Dimitri up to now. There were a couple of times when the win was between him and another designer, but they never even gave him so much as a “we loved your design too” as they sent him off stage. He’s so cute too, him and his nose. And I liked the shot of Elena smiling when he walked into the room after the win.
I was was not liking Anya until she disagreed with Mondo about Dimitri’s design. As for Mondo- most of his clothes were loud, which I liked, but I don’t think he was able to appreciate the subtlety of Dimitri’s use of pattern.
Was the print on Heidi’s dress supposed to be hair? Like chest hair? It was disturbing.
Mondo’s whole schtick was mismatching patterns in order to make clown costumes no one in their right mind would ever wear. Even he wouldn’t wear his crappy clothes anymore — and that’s saying something.
@NotaNJHousewife No it was supposed to give us false hopes that she’d just come from the Honey Bubu set. Rolling in oxide mud as a guest star.
I was wondering about the pattern on Heidi’s dress as well . . . it did look like fur, or tree bark!
Jason, and timgunssister, HAHAHAHHAAAA!!!
I HATE how you can only vote for Fan Favorite if you have a Twitter account. I REFUSE to open a Twitter account to do that.
So, Elena is only the fan favorite amongst those who have a Twitter account, not amongst all viewers in general.
Heidi’s side-eye at Ven combined with her little whistle was my everything. It’s good to know that beneath those butt ugly clothes, she’s still the fierce bitch she’s always been.
I’m actually sad that Gunnar went home, and kind of can’t believe that I wanted to burn him in a fire at the beginning of the season.
And I’m so happy that Dmitry finally finally won something. Maybe the judges will start recognizing his brilliance now.
I wonder if Ven can actually make anything besides his pleats though. If you think about it, any time he has diverged from that technique, the outcome has been total shit. He made that amish skirt and then that period disaster thing.
This week’s episode should be hilarious. He’ll probably make something boring lol.
@Jason – blasphemer!!!
I *think* the ugly lipstick on most of the female contestants this season is a L’Oreal thing. The only one who seems like she might choose those ugly colors is… Well, none of them. My guess is that since most women don’t wear bright lipstick anymore, L’Oreal is trying out a marketing ploy to bring it back with weekly one-hour lipstick commercials. I think they gave each contestant two colors: bright red and bubblegum pink. The women, except Alicia, are wearing the free lipstick on camera. The men gave it to their moms or friends. Fabio ate his.
Go Dimitry.

The only one who seems like she might choose those ugly colors is… well, I was going to say Elena, but no, none of them. Notice how they choose a dark or nude “lip” on their models. “Lip” LOL! Anyway, if they see vamp or nude as chic for the competition, why would they WEAR the clown colors???
My guess is that since most women out in TV land don’t wear bright lipstick anymore, L’Oreal is trying out a marketing ploy to bring it back in style with weekly 1.5 hour lipstick commercials disguised as a reality fashion design contest. It looks like they gave each contestant two colors: bright red and bubblegum pink. The women, except Alicia, are wearing the free lipstick on camera. The men gave it to their moms or friends. Fabio probably ate his.
Go Dimitry. He is irresistible. I didn’t see it at first, but it crept up on me and now I’m smitten.

Maybe they should make Hedi wear the winning outfit everyday, it would have to be an improvement on her current wardrobe!!! I know MC is orange, but even he must see she is dressed hidiously, and Nina must be busting a gut laughing at her horrible clothes. Who the hell is dressing the poor thing???
