Welcome back to another season of Project Runway! It’s been like two weeks, so I’m glad they got it together to come back even if it took awhile. This is a new 90 minute version of the show, and rumor has it IT’S ALL NEW!! Really? Then why is Christian Sirriano on my TV again?
If he says “fierce” one time I’m outta here.
This new intro has Tim and Heidi talking a lot. Tim Gunn pops up onscreen and says that he totally approves of the Christian guy. Then Heidi tells us a girl named Mikhael must really want this bad if she would leave her tiny baby to be here.
Or she hates her baby. You decide.
Wait. Her name’s not Mikhael. It’s McKell. LOL. Wow. There’s choosing your own name to seem artsier and then there’s downright copyright infringement, McKell.
I’d leave this fugly baby at home, too.
Tim and Heidi tell us little things about the designers. “That girl’s talented!” “That guy’s cute!” Really? Why don’t you two shut your pieholes and let us marinate in their insecurities a little, mkay? For example, what horrible childhood memory led this dude to wear a v-neck cut down to his belly button? I’m sorry, I don’t care how many people wear those. They’re NOT OK.

It’s always so great seeing Tim Gunn. He is charming, dashing, and super comfortable with who he is. His verbiage is impeeeeecably whiiiiimsical! And you gotta hand it to a man who can proudly lisp even in a still pic.

Heidi is as gorgeous as ever, and her hair is as insane. She looks like she put on her Ivana hair on her way out the door and Seal tried to pat it down before she went out looking like that for the day.
Heidi just. Stop. For a sec…honey just let me pat your hair down before you…honey just stop. Ok you’re leaving well have a good day. Are you sure you don’t want me to fix that before people see it? Honey? Love you. (loneliness)
In this new sparkly version, Heidi is gonna be talking a whole lot more. YAY. Just listening to her say “wearable” using five syllables and at least three smirks has made my week. We get quick flashes of the cast. It’s like shuffling a deck of cartoony kids playing cards. Like Old Maid.
No offense.
This guy looks like he’s getting erased from the head down. Why would you do that to your hair? I don’t know what that flower means, but I imagine Carrie Bradshaw with her forehead in her palm crying. “What have I dooooooone?”
Sad horns.
Heidi sexily intros the new season and then jumps into that pool from Cocoon that keeps you young forever.

It’s a miracle!
In case you need to be reminded that this show is geared toward men who like peen, let’s open the new season with a giant phallic shot!

The first girl we see says “Call me vain, but I think that Project Runway is the Ivy Show!” UGH. Abort! ABORT!
Oh darn. I must be on the wrong channel.
Ah. There we go. When do they sew?
Ivy started her line, IvyH, two years ago. So you’re telling me her electric bill goes to H,Ivy? Cuz that’s Hivy. Which is fitting cuz she’s obnoxious and her clothes look like they itch.
Who knows when you’ll happen to need something to wear to a Cape Cod funeral for a super old lady who used to tap dance on tug boats in the 20′s?
She’s amazing, you guys. I know cuz she just told me. Like five times. “I’m a force to be reckoned with.” Shots of pajama looking clothes.
When the economy recovers, this girl’s gonna say to her friend one day “remember how awesome it was when we were unemployed? I had a bathrobe jacket for crying out! What I’d give to just relax and not care what I look like again.
I knoooow! Remember when I got married and then went back to bed? Why did the darn economy have to improve?
You could have this entire segment on mute and know this girl’s an asshole just by seeing how big her mouth is while she’s talking.
Shhhhhhh. There there.
And now let’s meet Cassanova. If I had a blind date with a Puerto Rican named Cassanova and this guy showed up at my door, I’d be super pissed at Jdate. This guy’s the Puerto Rican Ed Grimley.
Ding!
In his casting session, Tim gave him shit about his name, but he did in with a half a woody in his voice. I can’t call a grown man Cassanova. Sorry. Cassy tells us that he’s done everyting dare ees to do in Puerrrto Rrrico! Cut to shot of a guy unconscious (dead?) in a heap of trash. So , basically, Cassy’s on the run.
I was just trying to pet him!
What is that accent? Cuz that is not Puerto Rican. It’s like a French guy trying to sound Puerto Rican. Or a Puerto Rican trying to sound French? Whatever it is, it needs to stop. “What ees naygsd for yew? I was so nervous tinkeen, weel New Jgyorg ead me? Or weel I ead New Jgyorg? Or New Jgyorg tayge me? Or I tage New Jgyorg vrom da ballz?” Mmm, you will talk like that on the subway. Someone with a job in tv will hear you. You will get a voiceover job on the Disney channel playing a really bad stereotype of some country you’re not even from in a cartoon. You will make millions of dollars. Other people will bang their heads into street signs cursing the heavens and asking God why life is so. Damn. UNFAIR. I’ve seen it a million times.
Passanova
I’m getting a little worried. For Lifetime. And humanity. And then Sarah comes on.
I could murder you.
Or we could have lunch!
Her clothes are bizarre and kinda awesome.
Maids wanna look pretty too.
When huge vaginas happen to pretty girls.
A gorgeous dress. With a weight lifting belt.
She describes her style for us: “Is this totally gross and ugly? Or is this like the cutest thing I’ve ever seen?” HA. Love. And honestly, I have no answer for you. I love and hate it all. That’s the sign of talent, no? Sarah arrives at the airport and meets a flighty twink named AJ from St. Charles who considers his style “punk”. Let me guess. Tutus and bustiers.
I don’t think it’s considered “punk” if Madonna still wears it on tour, k? It’s just called hack.
He’s glad that Sarah was the first person he met cuz he was afraid it would be “some old lady who doesn’t know what’s going on.” Old people are soooo scary! Have you ever tried helping one across a cross walk? I did and will never make that mistake again. Bitch made we walk so damn slow I swear she was trying to get me killed. Goofy music, cut to old lady that doesn’t know what’s going on.
I hope that’s the right ferry. I can never find my darn glasses.
Her name is Peach, so I can’t help but look for hair on her face. I predict that at least once this season, Kors will slurr “Peach, that was the piiiiits.” Peach dresses “the ladies who lunch.” Older ladies I guess. Younger ladies don’t lunch, they snack on fingernails and complain about being full. Peach’s crowd isn’t afraid to dress like a thirteen year old to snare themselves an afternoon banging their tennis instructor.

A diamond ode to the classic C Section Scar look.
Suddenly, her cat wants to play with her all the time.
She asks “will I be the oldest person here? Hell to the yes.” That’s some vintage Whitney right there. “I’m expecting a nine year old to walk in and be my roommate.” HA. The first person she meets is Nicholas, the guy who looks like he’s being erased. She immediately snarks on his hair, which makes me like her. His first words are “I can’t wait to beat you!”, which makes me not like him. I can’t wait to see her beat you. With her purse. You louse!
Meet Carrie Sadshaw.
Kristen is next, and she can’t help but laugh when Cassanova introduces himself. “Ees for reeeal!”
Um…no. No it’s not. LOL.
That’s your last name. And you shouldn’t call yourself Cassanova when you have Luis Guzman face. It just confuses people.


McKell (hahahahahahah) meets them at Grand Central and when she says she’s from Utah, Cassy frowns at her. HA! McSmell says that she always gets that stereotype, so she now refuses to wash her hair and she’s changed her name to a fast food chain’s. Well done, McSmell! Love her clothes.
Although that jacket might need some lotion.
Look fabulous or fix my car? I’ll walk!
I would have loved this last year, before Betty Draper turned into such an insufferable biatch.
She also, of course, mentions that she’s left a nine month old behind. I always find it funny when people brag about leaving behind a newborn like they’re so proud of it. It’s called CHILD ABANDONMENT. Cassy and Kristen pat her on the matted head and ooh and ahh like she’s just done something she should be super proud of. I hope that kid grows up and puts Veet in her shampoo. Not that she’ll ever use it. She says that she’s here to show her daughter that you can do anything you want. Even if you have a nine month old. I’m sorry I sound so bitter, but my sister left me alone with her nine month old for two hours once and I almost killed it and myself. It’s not a cat, McSmell!
Let’s move on. Kristin tells us that she’s an “accidental apparel designer”. I’ll bet she has a lot of accidents, cuz she has that permanent drunk look. That usually comes from…well, being drunk a lot. She didn’t even take the time to finish ripping apart whatever bird she killed for that neck piece. Way to shit on nature, drunko.
Woah Macy Gray. Pick yourself up and dust yourself off and for all that’s holy, stop making music.
She’s a graphic designer who makes clothes for bloated women. Sodium is a real problem in today’s society.

I was kidding, of course, but it turns out I wasn’t.
Have you ever looked at the back of a can of Tab?
Do you find it hard to smile? Do you find it hard to laugh? Do you find it hard to even stand up? Then by all means, put on some shorts or something. No need to depress all of us.
Kristin is all about keeping her mistakes in her design. “Yes you can! Yes you can have a crooked zipper!” That’s totally what Obama’s meant all this time. And we made him President.
Jason is a short skinny straight tough guy with a bowler hat. He looks like Orlando Bloom trying to pull off Charlie Chaplin, and tells us that he has a temper so if anyone in high school tried to make fun of him he would straighten them out. Crazy laugh. I suspect he’s got Clockwork Orange on VHS. I crack up cuz right when he talks about how crazy and tough he is, it flashes up on the screen that he is from Greenwich Connecticut. LOL. He probably has a long wanted list at the local police station for setting toast on fire and putting rocks on the sidewalk. Pose much?

It’s painfully obvious after watching his bio video that that promiscuous bottom Tim Gunn has a lot to do with casting.
Tim probably did the helicopter on his peen for like thirty minutes when he saw this.
All you have to do is look at Jason’s clothes to know that he’s a paranoid man.
To protect you from neck darts.
Also, sorry, most likely gay.
Chaps. He is really working Tim’s soft spot. And by soft spot I mean huge dangly peen.
He says he’s wearing his bowler hat to intimidate people. Play “The Entertainer” and they’ll pee themselves. He meets Gretchen on the sidewalk and they stare at each other in total awkward silence. HAHA. It must be the bowler.
Can you twirl a cane? I’ll give you a dollar!
The ferry picks up Peach and Sadshaw, and a super awkward guy shrinks away from Peach as she walks towards him. Hilarious. His name is Mondo, and he’s a freak. Peach shakes his hand and snarks “I almost wore the same thing today.” Mondo takes it as a compliment. I LOVE PEACH.
Don’t hurt me, old person.
Mondo is from Denver, and he says that people usually get the first impression that he’s strange. He fights this by wearing bow ties and Oliver Twist hats while rolling his eyes a lot and masturbating his fingertips nervously.

His style is meth face chic.
Kids, stay away from chemicals. Pills or mj, k? Glad we had this talk.
Please stop sleeping in my driveway unless you wear something really shiny so I don’t accidentally run you over. Oh, ok then.
If God designed this, He would probably add a fig leaf and kick this skank out of paradise.
Nicholas Sadshaw says that he was an architect until last year. One of those. He likes working with seaming cuz it’s totally architectural. After I saw this dress I had to rewind to make sure he didn’t say semen. Sorry I know that’s gross, but look at it. It looks like a stall wall at a truck stop.

Hivy meets the three on the ferry and Mondo giggles and calls her cute. Then she makes this face and says she might get seasick.
Adorable!
Nicholas says his collection is called Nikolina, cuz that was his grandpa’s first name and also his grandma’s first name. Who says hermaphrodites can’t have children just as fucked up as the rest of us? Christopher and April meet, and April starts machine gunning questions at him. I hate when people do that. I just answer with a bunch of lies. “I like purple, I’m a mayor, I invented the cheeseburger.” Mind your own beeswax, April! Christopher says that the best feeling he’s ever had is when he saw a woman walking down the street in his clothes. I don’t know who that girl was, but I know she was one tacky bitch.

April is 21 and says she’s not too young to be here. She likes grunge and making stuff out of things that look like they’re dying. I’d love to see what she could do with the Jersey Shore cast.
If you’re happy and you know it raise your arms! No one? No one? Hello?
I don’t think you should be allowed on PR if you have sunglasses printed on your shirt. Or are those real? Either way, eliminated.

Michael is from Palm springs and tells us how famous he is there. He also says he wants a burger. I hate when fat people make fun of themselves. It takes the fun out of it for everyone else. The designers gather at Lincoln Center to meet Fat Bitch Heidi and Man Whore Tim. Tim tells them that there were so many good designers that they couldn’t choose, so the first challenge will be the final elimination round! Thank God. I took a look at this cast and thought this was gonna last til Christmas. No one’s too thrilled about that, and there’s no telling how many people are getting the boot. Heidi makes them take one item out of their suitcases that they want to use in their design. The twist is that they have to pass on their item to their right. They’re stuck with other people’s clothes! YAY! Peach had to give her best Laura Ashley circa 1987 pants away, but that’s nothing. Cassy gave away pants that (he claims) cost $1700. Riiight. Hey Cassy. Welcome to America. We have a store here called THE GAP. That shit’s like ten dollars there.
Thanks for the Old Navy sale pants, asshole.
Mondo is sad that he gave away the kilt he was gonna wear tomorrow. He looks different in every shot. Here he looks like this evil cashier at the burrito shop down the street who keeps putting spoons in my bag instead of forks. I know she’s doing it on purpose, and I will have my revenge.
Bitch.
They only have five hours for this challenge. Over at the workroom, Gretchen tells us that she’s a sustainable clothing designer and a hippie. First off, hippies are hippies because they challenge the establishment. The green movement is the establishment, so you, ma’am, are no damn hippie. Second, you can’t make a decent outfit with some good old fashioned aspartame. Faker!
This just makes me think of afro bush. Trim.
Gretchen says she has big ideals but puts fashion first. Somehow I don’t believe her.
Split ends aren’t a lifestyle choice, Gretchen. That’s called laziness. Here’s a number for my friend Sam. He’s Fantastic.
Some girl whips out a little stuffed ninja that she takes with her everywhere and Hivy gives her a dirty look. Jealous Asian girl smackdown!

I’m rooting for Hivy, just cuz she seems more unlikable. Nice people have no place on my TV.
Other Asian is Valerie, and she was a poor kid who used to shop at a secondhand store called Wieners. That makes me sad. Not because she was poor, but because I’m in my thirties and all I ever get are secondhand wieners. Stop bringing me down, Valerie! She’s obsessed with necks.

Couldn’t you have just found an actual Asian model? This is offensive.
She cries about how she’s doing this for everyone she’s ever come in contact with and it’s a lot of pressure. Well, you might wanna stop putting so much weight on your shoulders. Literally.
Unless this fauxasian is gonna tackle someone, this is a bit unnecessary.
Tim gives a tour of the workroom and their computers and stuff. Now, let’s meet PingPong! No wait. That’s not Pong. WTF? Who’s this tranny? Bring back my Pong!
Do you design socks that only fit the bottom curves of your feet based on imprints made on a shower mat? Doubtful. Go away!
Trandy used to design pageant gowns, but now he’s designing for him! He’s wearing a fake snakeskin shawl (or something) and a belly button v-neck with a full face of makeup. I have a feeling he’s going to sew lots and lots of panties that hold your nuts in between your butt cheeks. Not that there’s not a market for that.

Yeah, not gonna carry you to dinner. Either change or I’m calling someone else.
And I’ll drive.
April is making a coat dress, but she is having a problem with the vagina hanging out. Michael’s goal is Muslim Chic. HAHAH.
Stone her!
Mood has been brought to the workroom, which sucks because that means there’s no tiny gaysian giving people attitude. Valerie rips Cassy’s pants and Cassy cries in jibberish. Tranndy wants to cry over the kimono he gave up, but his mother’s at home like “thank God that kimono’s out of the way. I’m making him go to church with me this week so he can’t embarrass me for once.”
Tim comes around to check on progress. McSmell is first, and he thinks the dress she’s making out of the blue man’s shirt is adorable. EW! He says the dress is trying a little too hard to not be a lily white saltine from Utah. Oh wait. That was me. And it wasn’t about the dress.

Nicholas Eraserhead started out with a polyester jacket and is turning it into a bridesmaid dress.
Keep your head in the game.
Cassy says he’s fine but he’s very upset about his Old Navy jeans with the D&G tag glued in. Tim asks him “is this sexy or vulgar?”, which is his way of saying his dress form looks like she’s about to do a photo shoot for PeopleOfWalMart.

April is designing a dress to wear for a crucifixion.
Witch on a stick.
She’s using a tux jacket inside out and has no idea how she’s gonna make it work. Valerie disses April’s work, so I can’t wait to see Val fail. Clockwork Orange is using the kimono, and Eraserhead says that he doesn’t feel bad anymore cuz Charlie Chaplin’s is way worse. Tim doesn’t seem to disagree.
That fool needs to either get out of my face or sit on it. This in between shit’s not gonna work.
Gretchen the fake hippie got with a Liza jacket.

She talks a lot about the essence of her piece and Tim gobbles it up, but we don’t get to see it. I just hope it doesn’t hurt the dolphin population in any way.
Peach is trying to work with a knit scarf and can’t figure it out how not to wreck it. Tim tells her to use it as tulle and be done with it. LOL. You gotta love Tim. Mondo is confusing the crap out of Tim. It looks “matronly”. What old lady would wear this? It’s not matronly it’s fug.
I deed no give you spoon! Stop yayling at me or I call da polees!
Fast music starts playing. Wrap up time! Cassy has an idea.
Ding!
We don’t know what it is, but I have a feeling it will have something to do with sewing a label into the back. So normally, this is the halfway point and now would be the show and then judging. Now there’s an extra thirty minutes. I am bracing myself for models. I have three frozen Milky Ways and a pack of cigarettes handy.

How is this even still happening?
Tim brings in the models and intros the GLAD accessory wall. As the designers get their final sheyat together, Vanessa tells Hivy that she was afraid of her when she first saw her cuz she looks Vera Wang. Only another Asian could say that. I dare her to tell Mondo he looks like Dora the Explorer.
Clockwork Chaplin had the most material to work with, but he can’t get his dress on his model’s giant boobs. Only on PR would these boobs be giant.

You can’t even feed half a kid with those things.
He says that it’s hard to not get a boner cuz he’s so straight. “It’s hard cuz she’s mine!” Wow. This guy is sick. I look forward to insane behavior coming from him. There’s a whole lot of hair and makeup footage. Pass. FF. Macy Gray lost her model. She left her in the waiting room, and the poor girl didn’t have the cells to know that she probably shouldn’t be in the waiting room. People rush and fret and lisp and brag and stuff. Clockwork Chaplin stapled his dress together. HA. Maybe he is straight.
When it’s time to go, Passanova isn’t finished. Tim is impatient, and disbelieving when Passy says his model is done.

HAHAH
Runway time! Heidi comes out and isn’t clear about how many people are getting the ole boot tonight. Mysterious! Almost as mysterious as why she still can’t pronounce the word “deliver” without biting down on her tongue. Let’s say hi to the judges! Hi, Kors!!

Hi, Nina!

Hi guest judge Selma Blair! I’m glad they’re still letting you on TV after Kath & Kim.

You might wanna have another go at those bangs.
Valerie is out first. Woman in the military on her period.

Peach is next. Kinda cute. Did she get someone’s curtains? Who would pack those?

The back is cute too.

She might be in troubs for not using the knit enough, but hey she did what Tim told her. Which, if you look at the past two seasons, will probably get her kicked off.
McSmell’s dress looks like a bad shower curtain and it’s pretty unflattering. Tim loved it. Oy. You wear this if you’re planning on sitting in the front row of the Shamu show at Sea World.

Trandy’s outfit is a spy costume. In Chinatown. Why? I don’t know. It’s kinda crazy but looks well made. At the end of the runway, the model whips a fortune out of her jay. That was creative!

I’m Hawasian, GET IT?!?
Sarah made a cute outfit for a ho-ey girl who works at Pep Boys.


Cameltoe alert. Get this girl an oil change.
Eraserhead’s poor person bridesmaid dress is next.

I don’t think Macy Gray approves.

Do you even know where your model is?
Mondo’s next. He’s gone from matronly to Indian Casino cocktail waitress.

How, mothatruckas.
He calls out his own janky hem, seen below.

I think I saw Hivy’s outfit thrown on the floor of a Ross Dress for Less once. I remember cuz I stepped on it on purpose.

Pants don’t fit, top looks ridic. Oh, Hivy. So how many designers have we been through? Anyone gonna be at least kinda good? Michael describes his look as classy and sophisticated. LOL.


Palm Springs High presents Grease.
Macy Gray is next, and true to what we saw in her bio stuff, she completely obliterates the female form. Therapy time. All different sizes and shapes are ok, Macy! You’re pretty…enough!

Christopher made a sophisticated/casual dress for a clown brunch.

Designers keep chatting with each other throughout the show. WTF? Nina’s gonna whip out a ruler and beat you with it, fools! STFU! April said she likes the trashy look, and she achieved it. This girl look like she got stuck in a compactor. Look at her facial expression. Someone hug her!

Fake Hippie Gretchen says that she nailed it. Meh. It’s not as fug as most of what we’ve seen, but it’s pretty bore snore. The only part of the Liza jacket she used was for the droopy ass shoulders. Not that I can really blame her.

Other Michael, the knit guy, made a hippie kimono with a dream catcher on front. I hope it does, in fact, catch his dreams. And then crush them. He’s kinda a bitch.

Clockwork Chaplin made a monk robe/mini skirt. Hideous.

The staples start falling out. HAHAHAH. Bye Straight Guy! AJ did the prequel to Swan Lake. The Ugly Duckling deserves a ballet too, dammit!

Passanova made the girl on the Chicken of the Sea can.


Nina gets sick and regurgitates the baby arm she ate for breakfast.

It’s over! Thank Xenu! AJ, Trandy, Valerie, Sarah, Peach, Macy Gray, Chunky Michael, Mondo, Knit Michael and Christopher are all safe. In the holding tank, Peach shouts “let’s hear it for the old lady!” AJ almost high fives her but backs away just in case you can catch old. Heidi says there is a clear winner, and it’s Gretchen the fake hippie! Yay! Now go get some leave in conditioner! Heidi tells the rest that there is no top three. They’re all bottoms. Not even Straight Guy tries to deny it.
Kors hates Hivy’s pants and blouse, and he doesn’t understand why Peach even owned pants that ugly. HAHA. He gives her a dirty look through the whole critique. Nina tries to start but Hivy interrupts and tries to stick up for her pants. Nina’s like ok forget the pants, everything else sucks too. Selma calls it hickish. Ivy says she stands up for her design and thinks it’s gorge. Proudly lacking taste. You tell em!
Clockwork has nothing to say in defense of his work. Heidi says it looks like a hairdressing cape and he took something made it work even less. Selma thinks its interesting. Ugh they have to keep him cuz he’s straight. Nina gets mad and asks if he thought they were so dumb that they wouldn’t notice that it’s just a backwards kimono. Kors shakes his jowls disappointedly.
April pouts as she describes her thought process and Heidi says that she can’t tell if it’s bad on purpose or if April just doesn’t know what she’s doing. Kors says he likes deconstruction but you also have to know construction. Nina calls it 80′s hooker. McSmell blahs about her shower curtain. Nina likes the use of fabrics but says the styling is all wrong. Kors agrees, calling it a disco apron. HA. Heidi flat out calls it butt ugly. Love the Heidingo. Eraserhead is next. Heidi calls it odd and boring. Kors gives it dirty jowly look, and Nina thinks it’s too quiet. Passanova pitches his work hard, but no one buys. Kors says it’s MOB belly dancer. Nina thinks it lacks so much taste that it’s fascinating. Selma loves how daring it was in the back but also loathed it. Any reaction’s good, according to her. Explain that shitty sitcom any way you have to, sugar.
Nina has to translate to Pass so he can understand that Heidi wants to know why he shouldn’t be shipped back on the first boat to Puerto Rico. They are excused, and Hivy says she thinks the Hivy show is gonna be cancelled. Think you might be right there. The judges have nothing nice to say about what she did. Wait. Kors says she can construct but might not have any taste or talent. HAHA. Heidi says Passanova either has a hearing problem or an English problem and she doesn’t have much patience for either. Well ain’t that the pot getting mad at the kettle for boiling water. His work was probs crazy enough to keep him.
Clockwork’s work was hideous, but they try to call him original which means he’s staying. Such BS. He should be the first out. No one is too into April’s work, but Selma stands up for the designers cuz they only had five hours and very little talent to work with. McSmell wasn’t good, but they say it in a moany way that means they’re forgiving her. Eraserhead had a beautiful model and even that couldn’t sell the boring dress. So you reward the safe boring person or the risky mess? I think we all know the answer to that.

The designers are brought back out and…April is safe! Eraserhead is safe, Clockwork is safe. Told ya. BS!!! He stapled a fucking robe together you have got to be kidding me!! McSmell is out!! Wow. I didn’t see that coming. Now she has to go home and stare at the poor clown baby. Aw. Hivy and Passanova are both safe! WTF?! No fair! So we will be here til the new year after all. Tim tells McSmell that he still loves her dress even though his lack of advice probably just sent her home. Well done, Gunn! Let’s start a tally of how many people get booted after Tim loves their work.
The designers finally get to check out the apartment, and Macy Gray immediately runs to the fridge to take stock of the alcohol. HAHAHA. I’m a bitch, but I know how to call em you have to admit. Next time, flowers! Thanks for being here you guys, and welcome to another season!
If you like it, spread it!:

How on earth do you do this, Flipit? Are you ODing on meth? You’re so freaking quick, and so funny, while still being accurate in your critique of the “fashions.” You amaze me.
This might be the most brilliant thing I’ve ever read: “The green movement is the establishment, so you, ma’am, are no damn hippie.” Hilarious!
Oh, and I will hunt down little Mondo for you (Mondo Guerra, right, that’s your given name, sure I believe you) if he ever gives you a spoon instead of a fork again. But Flippy, it’s a burrito. You should eat it with your hands, my friend.
XOXO,
Z
About the results? I cannot comment on that eff-fest because I don’t think that such language would be allowed here on this lovely board. I don’t think that dread-girl’s outfit was the best, but it was most assuredly not the worst. Not even close. Middle of the road entry.
And they kept that horrific stapled kimono? He didn’t even sew for %^$#’s sake! That stoooopid tuxedo jacket? Really? That was better than McKell’s outfit? Cassanova’s mess? Come ON, SHOW! How stupid do you really think we are?
Okay, I guess I can comment on it afterall. But that’s not the half of what I wanted to say. I wonder what McKell did to piss them off? There is no way that she deserved the auf compared to most of that tripe up there.
Fonzi, do I hear you in the background?
XOXO again, Flip.
OMG!!! Classic Flip it!!! I was howling at all the captions, esp the clothing descriptions!!! Z is right Flip, one for the record books!!! And, F ya, I was already excited about the show–you’ve cemented my joy-as usual!
And as usual, I was beyond wrong about most of it-I, for one, actually liked the disco apron, tho the waist was too hi–oh well, I pretty much liked her portfolio, pretty much–anyhoo, surprising it wasn’t Bowler. And torn tux–kinda judy jetson–my weak spot, so we’ll see . . .
I too knew Hivy (perfection on names!) was going to bottom feed with her boasting, but i actually thought that was a good one-sigh! I will confess, my taste has gone totally ho, so the “sophisticated” pink and black number, and the ugly swan tutu were my faves–see what I mean! I did also enjoy Peach’s snark, I actually say that all the time, only, “TG I didn’t wear my red pencil skirt today!” Also loved that she said her model stomped the hell out of it–cute. I also liked the busty model with the who’s that girl styling for bowler–hope someone agrees or she’s not long for this.
The Hawasian look was probably most worthy . . .
Extra extra XOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXXOXOXOOXOXXOO you rock my world!!! And the speed, kah!
How funny, Z-I was typing and didn’t see your second comment till I posted–guess I’m not as crazy as I thought!
I’ll add, I was liking that Tim was more direct in the reviews-with advice and crits. And OMG!, that doll–whose idea was that pedtastistic horror!
Honestly, i watch the show so i can read and understand your recaps. HILARIOUS. i really wonder if anyone is going to comment on the show how “mondo guerra” means world war…nina i would hope! everyone seems kinda boring right now, but i’m rooting for peach. and the weird asian tranny, i liked his clothes. see you next week!
Wow. I understand this show even less this season. First of all, how do you get on a show designing clothes when you can’t even manage to dress yourself? Second, why keep Staples (who needs someone to explain the girl is modeling his clothes…she does not “belong” to him,) but get rid of Dreadsful?
I remain perplexed. Especially by the nasty bony back shown in the photo of the garment that Peach’s cat ate and then spit up.
Can we call Cassanova “No va?” Spanish for “doesn’t go”…no matter how much we wish he would. His “dress?” Very J-Lo. All that droopy fabric…yuck. Hey! Maybe we could call him Flacidnova.
Trandy…what a perfect name for him!! Flipit…you’re the best
I’m not sure what kind of poser Armando T. ‘Mondo’ Guerra is but he definitely made a choice when creating his ‘designer name’.
He could have gone with ‘Mando Guerra’ based on Armando being the spelling of his first name. ‘Mando Guerra’ means ‘Control War’. Not too sexy I’ll grant you, but it probably describes his design aesthetic accurately.
Instead he chose ‘Mondo Guerra’ which means ‘Clean War’. Although that name appears environmentally sound, it’s not really sexy in a designer type of way.
What I think he was going for was something more nihilistic like ‘World War’ but that would be spelled ‘Mundo Guerra’. One letter and the meaning totally changes.
Sorry, I don’t know why I felt the need to say that, but I did!
Great recap Flipit, loved it. I couldn’t help but read Hivy as HIV-y. Made it all the more amusing for me. Keep up the great work, looking forward to it.
Project Runway, you haven’t changed, so we’re still broken up. But every time I scratch my nails down someone else’s back, I hope you feel it.
Now the season has officially started. No need to even watch the show…. just come here. Another masterpiece!
I bet they kicked the Mom off because Heidi luffs her bebes and was pissed that some chick would abandon her nine month old.
I don’t get the whole “Oh no, I thought I was on the show, but I’m still auditioning!” twist. Instead of officiall being a contestant, which meant compete while filmed for TV, finish a garment challenge, and stai on unless eliminated from coming in last, instead each had to still audition, which meant…compete while filmed for TV, finish a garment challenge, and sta on unless eliminated from coming in last. Wow, PR producers threw all of us for a loop with that twist.
I agree with Lagitha (#12). The “twist” wasn’t quite a twist.
Dred-girl was robbed.
Great recap, Flipstus!!
How could they keep twall pedal pushers (HIVy) over clown baby’s mama?
I like Peach, but the fabric for her dress was very similar to the fabric of her pants she gave away to HIVy. We’re going to have to watch her.
Fantastic recap Flipit.
They pulled a similar stunt on Top Chef NY where 17 chefs were also cast but OH NOES! one won’t get past the first QF. But that was Magical Elves so they admitted that all 17 were cast (duh) but one was heading back home on the ferry an hour later. Another contestant also got the boot after the elimination challenge.
But this is Bunim-Murray, so they probably think the PR audience is as easily bamboozled by a game of “Gotcha Nose” as they think the Real World audience is, so they just had Heidi and Tim talk out of their asses. But they forgot to throw in the bright shiny objects to confuse people and forget the gibberish from earlier.
Fab recap, Flipy-licious!
The kimono disasterlooked like a backwards straight jacket…I can’t believe that Nina didn’t sneer and ask what insane asylum that big boobed model just broke out of!
I watched this show online and it was 63 minutes, commercial free. Does that mean that there are 27 mins of commercials?! A typical hr long program has 15 mins of commercials..the extra 30 mins of PR is 50% advertising! Lifetime…you silly goose!
Actually, a typical hour long show has 18 minutes of commercials (in syndication, it’s 19 or 20 minutes, which is why there are awkward editing moments.) 9 minutes is the current number for half hour network shows.
18 and 9 is 27 minutes, so the show was exactly what it should have been according to industry norms.
The baseball glove and the Grinch – PRICELESS!!!!
THIS! “Ugh they have to keep him cuz he’s straight.” So you can turn a kimono backwards, with staples that are visible and still remain on a competitive reality show about DESIGNING AND SEWING.
I loved the recap Flipit! I was sure you would mention Gretchen’s unfortunate haircut: the “Oops! in 1977 I cut my bangs too far back and now I have a mullet” mullet. Also, “the Glad accessory wall” and any reference to Passy made me spew Diet Coke. Thank you. Sad we’ll never see what McSmell had to offer because PR had to keep odd straight guy over her.
Christ, I don’t know if I can take an expanded version of this show–it was just so unnecessary. And I WON’T watch Scarlett and Santino travel ala Paris and Nichole to small towns, Heidi Seal, and YOU CAN’T MAKE ME!!!!
Clockwork Orange shoulda been out the door for the premiere show–no question he didn’t even design anything. I hated Ivy the second she said it was gonna be the Ivy Show–never brag before you’ve won. Do any of these contestants EVAH watch previous seasons?
Thanks, Flip–I might just abandon watching for your recaps.
