Our Story So Far.... - 
by EdHIll
This week's Project Runway presented me with quite a challenge. How does one recap a recap show? At first I thought I could just recap it by recapping the recap using old recaps, but felt that that might come dangerously close to ripping apart the space time continuum. The last thing any of us needs is to wake up in a world where we never won World War II and Carrot Top is our president.
Then it hit me. Just do one of those half-assed screencap filled recaps where you just hit on the high points of the hour long reunion show. And as some of my fellow writers can attest, there is nothing quite like the feeling of phoning one in. But seriously folks, the reunion, while not as eventful as last year's wine spilling, "F you" laced extravaganza, did have its moments. In fact if this hour of television taught us anything it was this: the introduction of liquor into almost any situation is a good thing, and Guadalupe left us far too soon.
But before we start, my heartfelt apologies for such a late recap. The "recap of a recap" quandary had me stumped for days. As many of you may or may not know, Project Runway is a runaway hit. In fact you could say that they might even have to call it…. Project Runaway! Get it? Runway, Runaway!? Ah well, they can’t all be home runs. As I was saying, this show is a hit. And if there is one thing networks know how to do well it is to milk a hit for every penny it is worth. The six night a week Coca Cola ad that used to be American Idol being a perfect example. So what to do when your big hit show is about to finish its run, but you still want to sell an hour’s worth of commercial time? Stage a reunion show! But before you stop reading this recap let me assure you that this is no lame ass Survivor-like reunion show, or worse yet, those hour long Apprentice reunion borefests. None of that here. In fact Bravo has really perfected the whole concept of a reunion show. Step 1, bring everyone together beforehand and give them free booze. Step 2, show lots of diary clips of people badmouthing each other and watch the reactions. Step 3, spring surprises on them like bringing out jilted models with marshmallowy legs.
