Straight Guy goes through Diane's look book and notices a lot of layered looks, which means they should all make more than one piece. Everyone seems to be taking that path. Well, everyone but Kenley because she just wants to make one good piece instead of three bad ones. Plus, she needs time to sit in front of the cameras and, yes you guessed it...

Pleather is focusing on a masculine camouflage look, which cracks me up. Can you see Pleather in the army? The terrorists would have to stop bombing because they would always be laughing. That's actually not a bad idea, no? He says his name like five times and then says he hopes Diane hearts him. At least that's what shape I think he's trying to make.

I love this game! I wish I had a dart.

Blayne tells us that he doesn't want to barf neon everywhere in this challenge, so he's gonna do something crazy and original instead of the same ole pair of pants, "like somebody else does", meaning Terri. Good idea. So why are you making another pair of Bermuda shorts? Idiot. Terri thinks she can win this and she walks all over testing out her slacks, which aren't very flattering on her. While she's away from her dress form, Straight Guy and Blayne diss her fabric and talk about how horrible it is. It's always the shittiest designers with the biggest attitudes, isn't it? Straight Guy tells us that Terri is a one trick pony and Blayne says her fabric looks like fireworks and then starts singing the Star Spangled Banner. I think he forgot that the fabric was originally chosen by Diane. A Blayne segment wouldn't be complete without him coming off as a total moron. Now he will say licious a lot and talk about tanning.

Squircangle was stood up by her dress form, so she has an awkward lunch with Leatha and Terri. She asks them what they're making, and Leatha refuses to answer. LOL. Later, in the sewing room with Terri and CutToe, Squirc asks CutToe what she's making. What is this need to know, Squirc? No one is going to try and combine a circle a square and a triangle, k? Stop with the fretting. CutToe, subtle as ever, tells Squirc she's making a vest so copy if you want to and we'll see whose vest looks better on the runway. Then she and Terri leave, giggling, and Squirc asks us why she can't make friends. Crickets chirp as people all over America look around their living rooms and pretend we didn't hear the question.

Hobosexi tells us the plot of A Foreign Affair and then shows us his sketch. It's killer. Now if he can just make that, he'll be fine. My guess is that he won't come close.

CutToe is also very excited about this one and doesn't wanna get reamed by VonMisterToadbergberg tomorrow. Then she does a really hilarious impression of her. HAHAH. I kinda love CutToe lately. Anyone second that? Leatha, who seems angrier than usual today, says that Diane needs to see her aesthetic and how it can blend with her own. Love it. Marlena Dietrich in buttless chaps and hole-y tights. Straight Guy tells us that he is sure he can win this thing and make it to the end. Cut to a whorish backless pink top that's horribly constructed. The dress form actually looks like a slutty cocktail waitress that the real John Lovitz would try and wipe his slime all over.

Right?

Squirc tells us that she's not much of a femme fatale (you don't say) and that since she's never been out of the country, she's had no foreign affairs. Or local ones, but we'll cry over that next week when Diane's not here. Then she starts sneaking all over the workroom acting like a spy, telling us that she wants to live the part and call herself LeAnnimal. Yikes. Imagine that head hanging in your cabin.

Kenley shows Straight Guy and Blayne her work and they both insist that they like it. Then Straight Guy does this behind her back.

LindaLC:

LOVE the recap as usual!! Squirc rules! I think she'll win this season since no one else is even kinda good. I just don't get CutToe's designs. I thought the seat belt coat looked like something I could have made in 3rd grade, and this week's dress was U-G-L-Y.

I COULD NOT BELIEVE that Hobo & Blayne weren't in the bottom 3 this week. Their stuff was hideous. Of course there was a lot fugly stuff to pick from.

Can't wait until next week. I want Blayne or Hobo to go!!

Anonymous:

I'm going to miss Leatha too but it was time for her to go. I liked Leanne's outfit and I'm sure she'll be in the final three but I just can't see her winning --- she's just lacking personality (which seems to be true for the majority of the designers this year). I'm really hoping that Blayne will be going home soon....

ivegotthesquircs:

Long time listener, first time caller.

It is either a testament to your wit or a sad day for Project Runway that I look forward to reading your recap of the show more than actually watching the show.

Also you have ruined me. I am no longer able to enjoy the show like a normal person. I yell at/insult everyone by their nickname now (ex: Quit your cryin' Horsey, stop calling yourself Leanimal, Squirc it ain't happenin')

My favorite by far is Hobi. I showed my husband (not a ProRun fan at ALL) a picture of Jerrel just so I could tell him the BRILLIANT nickname you came up with.(I actually get him to watch 5 minutes of the show to see what Jerrel is wearing, and just as he is starting to enjoy the program...Suede repeats his name 3 times, blows kisses to the heavens and my husband can longer tolerate the massive amount of douchbaggery on the screen.) Hobosexual, there has never been a more fitting name.

Thanks Flipit for making this terrible season filled with morons and catch phrase diarrhea (it's spreading!) fun again!!

detinha:

Thanks, Flipit! ...so THAT is THE DVF? WTF?! I thought her eyebrows now resemble Marlene Dietrich's, when she was young! Gosh, I wish those designers would remain incognito! their looks are so disapointing! Hear me Michael Kors, Donatella Versace, Valentino....? :D

I can't share your love with CutToe ..don't like her, but again, I don't like any of them, I just watch so I can keep up with your recaps, like "ivegotthesquircs"!


PixieGal262:

LindaLC and detinha you guys are on Mars. CutToe's designs are always wearable, beautifully made and fit whatever brief they've been given.

She also does very chic things...I don't understand why you don't like her designs.

Then again...perhaps we should have a look in your closets, hmmm?

Beside that, it drives me crazy that they constantly whine about how they don't have enough time and then the camera cuts to them sitting around/messing around/standing around. FTW?

J-Mo:

I *sob* think that, um *snif* Diane Von Furburger *gasp* is so incredibly amazing because *wah* she actually DIED a few years ago *wail* and yet her reanimated corpse *whimper* just won't lay down and stay dead *ppppbbbbffflblt!*

Actually she reminds me of Patsy Stone's older sister Jackie (They. Have. The. Same. Fucking. Hair.) from AbFab.

If I had telekinetic powers then every single time that Pleather said his own name or blew kisses to the heavens or breathed there would be another pin, needle or scissors that would violently bury itself somewhere in his flesh. It's asshats like him that make people want to beat fags up... hell, I'M gay and *I* want to beat him up! Okay, I just want to slap him. But really hard.

What is it with the criers this year on the Runway?!?? I mean Ricky The Lingerie Hat Queen was fuckin' bad ENOUGH on LAST season, but now it's like they think someone should be flashing "OSCAR MOMENT" on screen every time they talk about how haaaaard everything is for them, and how much they deseeeeeerve to win this. Let me just say... SOMEBODY has to design for Wal-Mart and K-Mart, because contrary to perception, not everybody in America is super-rich, not everybody can afford couture or labels, and I think it's insulting that Kenley equates that with failure. She has obviously forgotten that Jaclyn Smith has been designing for K-Mart for years and has made a FORTUNE doing it.

Awesome recap, Flipit, you are hearted as always...

love, J-Mo :)

dredge:

Well said J-Mo. Kenley annoys me to no end. She is the Sarah Palin of the Fashion world. An unending grating nasal whine mixed with a staggering passive-aggressiveness. I guess her dress was well made, and maybe would not look out of place in K-Mart or Target..ironically enough.

The weird thing about this group is that most of them seem to be cyphers. Ricky cried last year, so now we have 4 criers. Kenley, what? deserves to win because DVF is her idol? Get a grip. please. CutToe is even annoying me with her "winning means this to me". You all don't convince me. So shut up.

I'm liking Leanne and Terri. Both are original to me.

detinha:

PixieGal,
here in Mars is H-O-T and we don't wear coats/jackets all the time! Maybe that's why we don't lurve the no-toe one! Just kidding, gal! I respect your love for her, she's just not my cup of tea, and I think she's one of those whiner, with her run away from Africa stories. Maybe she'll grow on me, her ass already is growing .. a lot! :D

juddfan:

What do you wanna bet this bitch is taking the elevator back up?--I was thinking the same thing!!!! Descending from the stairway to heaven, is that why she's a reanimated corpse, J-mo!?

I am so outraged at this travesty in judging!!! HOW in F did Pleather not bite it this time . . . .that was a worse combo than Leatha last week, and as far as poor workmanship . . . ahem, can we see straight guys seams again!? I thought Leatha's outfit was swell, sans the cape, perhaps, but still, it was meeting the challenge and I liked the throwback look of the collar, and I've seen more insane crotches at gay pride!!! I don't know why they wouldn't think Leatha's bettah TV than Liscious or Hobo, or Straight guy . . . is it me!??

First Leatha, and now Renny , sniff, sob, sniff . . . . WAHHHHH!!! (more later on that)

Anyway, I did like Squirc's look, don't know why Bettie Page couldn'ta done a shrug or something . . . that what it's called, right!?

I also thought Hobo's look was beyond hideous and Liscious' was redonk!!!!

If you look at Toad's collection, almost all the coats are cut shy and are held closed by a belt . . . call me crazy, but noooo, a coat that can't button is too small, period!!! guess that's what Hobo was trying to emulate, but I'll still blame her for just vomit design and color combinations . . . yeeeech!!!!

Can't imagine who could win this, but Cut-toe, Squirc and Terri seem like the only one's who might do a whole line, perhaps Bettie, but you all hate her, so I'll just wait and see on that . . . Terri is looking 3 trick pony at this point, I hope she really goes all out next time . . .

HEART flip, and thanks for the laughs and righteous indignation!!!!! XOXO

PixieGal262:

LOL detinha. I see your point, Ms. Martian :P. The coat thing is a bit repetitive. I think I just sympathize with her because I personally know a whole bunch of Nigerians/Ethiopians/Eritreans and holy crap do they have some serious sob stories.

She does have a ginormous tush though, I will give you that.

skies:

There was plenty of fug on that runway the other night but was Stella's the fugliest? Joe's was a train wreck, Jerrell's was the Salvation Army lady on acid, and Suede's was one big mess. Any one of those were way worse than Stellas..in my opinion, of course.
Maybe the judges see things we don't..trying to be nice here to make up for their lack of sound reasoning.
Anyway, funny recap. You make watching this year worth the effort.

preppyboy:

i agree kenley is pretty annoying, but i have to give it up to her because yes she is a bitch, but at least she says it to peoples faces, unlike STRAIGHT GUY who is probably bitchier than the gays.

itchy:

So let's do rundown of who's left:

Straight guy: Sucks. Can't design and can't sew. And he's an asswipe.

Pleather: Sucks. One of the most annoying personalities to ever grace a reality tv screen. It'd be all right if he was talented, but he hasn't had a single decent design all season.

Blayne: Sucks. Not even worth speaking about.

Hobi: Meh. He's not as bad as the other guys. But he's not great either.

Anyone get the feeling that they really really don't want a guy to win this season?

Even though there's not much to choose from the gals' side either. Well, at least Leanimal seems to know how to sew.

you you you:

"...I think she's one of those whiner, with her run away from Africa stories. Maybe she'll grow on me, her ass already is growing .. a lot! :D"


"...i agree kenley is pretty annoying, but i have to give it up to her because yes she is a bitch, but at least she says it to peoples faces, unlike STRAIGHT GUY who is probably bitchier than the gays. "

Bigotry as commentary. Very classy!

detinha:

you you you,

I don't care about color, race or sex, or whatever. I say what I feel like!
We comment on EVERYBODY's physical appearance, why can't I say something about CutToe?!

I never claimed to be "classy", I'm sarcastic and I won't apologize for it!

bingo blog boy:

Coupla things- did anyone notice how pissed Heidi was at Kenley during her "review"? Kenley kept interrupting her and then Diane Von F. agrees with Kenley and loves the dress! Seriously, Heidi had some great close shots of a seriously pissed face.

Secondly, am I wrong or was Diane Von F wearing the exact same dress for the judging that she was wearing when she met the designers? Maybe all of her dresses look the same, I don't know.

And thirdly, it's not cool to pull out the "bigotry" card here on this blog. Everyone is equally dumped on and it's all done with seriously bitchy love.

Lime23:

Hmph, I'm with Heidi; I liked Cut-toe's dress this time (although those screencaps aren't doing it any favors, LOL). I actually really liked Squirc's dress, too -- but not so much the jacket. I think we're heading to an all-female finale here (as between Squirc, Cuttoe, Kenley and Terri) -- or, should be, at least, if there is any justice.

preppynoy:

you you you

i am gay, and what i meant by my comment is that straight guy is bitchier than the gay guys ON THIS SHOW. not in general. i mean look at jerrell he is one of the bitchiest people on reality tv

hillpete:

I'm no fashion maven, but does anyone really wear tweed bolero jackets with evening gowns? The dress was gorgeous, why cover it up?
