Last week, Project Runway wasn't on because it was too busy bingeing on drugs. How else can you explain this episode?
You can't explain it. But you can't really look away, either.
We start this week by checking in on the designers at home. Over in the girl's loft, Jillian (not crying or poking herself with needles) expresses to Sweet P how important it is for at least one actual girl make it to Bryant Park. That's a great idea, Jillian. I have a tip for ya. Stop crying and poking yourself with needles.
Christian puts his feet up on the bed and muses about how some people don't deserve to be there. Ricky's work wasn't even seamed last week, so WTF? He's right, but I can't moan about the injustice right now because I am staring at the kid's huge boots. Why Christian, I woulda never thunk it. You know what they say about guys who have big boots, don't you?
They have very pointy penises.
Ricky knows that people think he's unworthy. He also knows exactly why he's lasted through nine episodes and figures he'll just keep on doing what he's been doing all along. He'll cry. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
But it is broke, so please. Fix it!
Since Ricky won last week's challenge (I'm just going to type that over and over again until it makes sense), he gets to decide whether to keep his winning model or ditch her ass and steal someone else's girl. He has a very evil glare in his eyes as he holds the fate of my favorite model in his hands, and I shake my fists to the ceiling at the injustice of it all. These poor two models. They have both overcome really large noses to rise to the almost top. I hadn't noticed this other schnoz, but I still root for Yentl because the blonde girl just has a plain ole big nose. Yentyl looks like she's been through some serious fights to earn her honker.
See the difference?
I have to put our differences aside on this one, because Ricky does the heroic thing and saves Yentl from the block. Wait, if he had dropped her someone else could have picked her up. Now she's just gonna be eliminated tonight anyway. You bastard!
Heidi, dressed like a penny, asks the designers if they are ready for their next challenge. "Well, too bad!" Oh, man! She got me that time! I love that it's season 4 and Heidi still can't say a line without stopping in the middle to count the words on her fingers to make sure she's remembering them all. Tim, will, meet, you....uh....uh....
Tomorrow!
That night at home, the designers make awkward small talk and guess what the challenge will be. Or Sweet P does, at least. She thinks it will be a cocktail dress because of what Heidi was wearing. Uh...Like last week when she wore denim and the other week where she wore a teenage girl's prom dress or an ex fatty's fitted sports coat. Dumbass. Oooohhh, it could be a swimsuit challenge! Rami bangs her upside the head with the hot iron she's using and says "ew."
The next morning, Tim comes to get them (in a suit, yay) and takes them to their secret location. Christian asks if it will be fierce and it better be fierce. Fierce. Tim nods like "you kids and your slang" as he leads them to the doors to the runway. There are loud noises of women grunting and screaming and throwing things around. At first I think the challenge must be to design school clothes for all of Ricky's fighting sisters to take some of the burden off his poor mom in an Extreme Home Makeover crossover, but thankfully, the chicks on the runway are just a bunch of female wrestlers. Wait. Huh? Rami is confused, too. He sees the whorish women wresting in a boxing ring, but he still has to ask "Where's this going?" You're gonna have to fight a chick, dodo. Where do you think?

Oh, Flipit, you are on fire this week! I adore Heatherette as well and squealed with girly delight when they showed up at the judging.

As soon as Christian said "Ferocia Cotura," I knew that it would have to become his name for the rest of the season (at least in my mind). LOL
By the way, I love me some Tim Gunn and I recently saw two episodes of his series where he and Veronica Webb dress fashion nightmares. The show is the same old thing where they check out the closet, throw away clothes and teach them what to look for when they shop, but what was fabulous about it was that it was ALL TIM ALL THE TIME! He just says the funniest things. Two gems: "That is a pupu platter of horrible" and "When I get within a block of leggings, I break into a rash."

I have to disagree - I thought Chris's costume was awesome. It was exactly what his client wanted and the inside of the jacket was amazing! While Christian does make a jacket every week, he changes it somewhat and everything he makes is well made. He finished 4 pieces in less than the amount of time it takes everyone else to finish a bra top. He has talent and I find him to be hilarious. The show would be a complete bore without him. Also, during judging, that is complete editing. I'm sure he doesn't make those facial expressions every time. I don't know why everyone is so hard on him. Oh and I loved his Ferocia name!

I too love my little Christian. I agree, he always makes things really well, and quickly. I think it is good because everything he makes is his style... but different enough to not be boring- unlike Rami.
I'm hoping Christian takes this thing, but I feel like they are gonna pull out the "he's too young and needs time to develop" card at the finals.

Glad to see you got down to work and wrote a great recap!!
I loved Chris's Target Hoodie. I'm glad he won. Ricky never shed a tear the whole show..... see he did learn something after all..... Tears are for clowns and he's no clown!
love yo

Yay!!! I been missin' me some Flip it! Don't know why they'd skip a week right at fashion week, when they know we can find out top 3, if we're sneaky (I abstained)
Surprisingly better than I thought, but I hated Rami's, and hate everything about hat boy, loved the fireworks, tho!!!
Anyway, even tho I don't care too much, a double elimination sounds ominous---ooo--- I thought they'd have 4 go to fashion week, and I was hoping Chris would slip into the top four, but I doubt it now. Good run for Sweet P, but I think this'll be it--she doesn't really shine as one with her own style, tho she's pulled them out more than once.
Flipit, I'd love to see your TV--I bet giving that cathode ray tube a lick would be a sensational slice of sweet heaven!!!!

My husband (I bribe him to watch with me) Pointed out that Christian reminds him of the church lady. Isn't that special?

juddfan,
I read that all 5 finalists showed at Fashion Week to prevent spoiler as to the final 3? Can anyone confirm this? Dlisted.com has pics of Posh sitting with the other 3 judges at the show but nothing of the designers or what they showed.
If it's true, I honestly don't know why anyone would care to actually make top 3-- when what they really want is a chance to show at Fashion Week anyway! Also, if it's true, I'm SHOCKED that Sweet P showed at fashion week...
It's so confusing!

Well, ignore my last comment! I looked it up and found a yahoo news article confirming that all five DID present 12 pieces at Fashion Week and that Posh Spice was the final judge. They even gave short descriptions of each designer's line. Apparently Christian's clothes drew applause from the audience.
This is interesting...
I tried to post the link but URL's are not allowed.

All 5 did show, although I don't know if 2 were decoy collections or only 1 was a decoy collection. (Last year, remember, we had 4 finalists, not 3.)
If you want to spoil yourself, pictures of each of the pieces from each of the collections are available at:

I took a look at the link Lime23 posted. I think Chris (though I love him) and Sweet P are the decoys. I don't think they're up to par with the other three. Chris's stuff is always dated and Sweet P doesn't have a real point of view. Jillian's work is impeccable and varied, Rami's is repetitive, as is Christian's but that kid is so talented and artistic. It'll come down to Jillian and Christian...mark my words.

Also, I just realized that Bianca from America's Next Top Model Cycle 9 is one of Chris' models for his (decoy) Bryant Park runway show.

@ mamatl
And Danielle from Season 6 also walked for Chris.
And Jaslene walked for Jillian.
Yay for reality TV cross-overs !

For real...
Remember how Rami's clothes were showcased on the Tyra Banks talk show and Shalesha was one of the models.
Also, Heidi is the host and main judge of the German version of Next Top Model...
My head hurts...

Sometimes I feel like the judges don't pick Christian's work every week because if his head got any bigger it would f-ing explode. Just my take on things.
15 of 20 | Posted by HereKittyKitty | Posted on February 9, 2008 2:44 PM
I saw the collections as well, and it will come down to Christian and Jillian, I think.
And I think Jillian will lose because her collection was not in the least cohesive and seemed like 3 or 4 different collections instead. Christian's was repetitive because it was the most cohesive. Or at least that's my take.

@ serjen: put a spoiler warning on that shit next time! UGHHHHHHHHHh
Flipit, as always, I think you are the cat's pajamas, the bee's knees, and the dog's tuxedo. :D Let's get married.

@here4beer:
It isn't exactly a secret. In fact pictures of all 5 collections are on the Bravo Project Runway website. Plus it has been reported in major media outlets.

Hey Flipit... it's been a while since I stopped by YVGasm. Thanks for making me laugh again! Your posts are so FIERCE

snootchy, I get all my news exclusively from TVgasm, so perhaps that's why I've not heard.
Flipit 4 Prez.
