Really, Really Gay Paree - 
by EdHIll
After last weeks tension filled episode will we get back to a relatively bitch free night of Project Runway? Eh, Not really. Jeff is still on the show so juvenile dickeshiness is sure to follow. That being said the show continues to surprise with it's challenges and the directions it takes. This week we get a surprise change of venue as the show relocates to the true heart of the fashion world. No not Dubuque Iowa. Paris France. Even I didn't see this one coming. Of course this is a trend in reality television these days, what with the upcoming season of Apprentice moving to L.A. A season that I will of course not be watching since my beloved Caroline and George are going to be replaced by the talentless parasites known as Trumps kids. It's kind of like the last season of Beverly Hills, 90210 When Aaron Spelling's kid Randy became a major character. You just knew the magic was gone.
But I digress. I think this change will be good for the show and it even tied in this weeks challenge. And while I can't dispute the outcome of the episode, I still wish it hadn't gone down the way it did.
The designers are met on the runway by a braless Heidi wearing a lowcut top. Before we get to the challenge however, its time to bring out the models. Yeah! Finally we can wash that 200 pound mom challenge out of our mouths for good. Unfortunately since last week no models competed this means we are going to have to send two of them home today.

Décolletage!
In further evidence that the whole "switching up the model" show tactic has failed miserably, every designer sticks with the models they have worked with all along. It makes sense. They know their walk, they know their measurements and how the clothes fit them. When it comes down to the final 3 its my favorite red head Amanda (OK, second favorite red head after last seasons Grace), Alex and Danielle on the chopping block.
Kayne decides to stick with Amanda because as he tells us "when she walks down the runway, she f*ckin works it." Amanda is thrilled to the point of doing a spazzed out happy dance when she gets back stage. Cut to one of the models in a diary room interview telling us how Amanda is obsessed with the show. Wait. What? The models talk? Who said they can have diary room interviews? This messes with my head man. Maybe next year they should do a whole second Project Runway show from the point of view of the models. Get all Rashoman. All the behind the scenes cattiness. All the drama. All the bare breasted tickle fights we never get to see but just know deep down in our heats are going on when were not looking. Yeah. They should definitely do that.

A phantom Auf
With the model selection out of the way Heidi tells them their challenge. This week they are going to be designing an outfit for a hip international jet setter. Of course they all start wondering who it may be. Kayne for some ungodly reason thinks that it might be Tara Reid. The woman can't even get into clubs anymore so doubt I would call her a jetsetter. But then again, it would kind of be brilliant if it was her. I mean we can all agree Taradise was simply the greatest show ever produced. It showed that she is just as vapid, shallow, selfish, drunk and annoying as you think she is. And it also showed the slow disintegration of her body. When once it looked like this, now it looks like this. Who wouldn't want to see Laura design one of her low-cut belly exposing shirts for that stomach?
Heidi now done with her tease tells the models that Tim will fill them in on the details. She also says that there are benefits to winning this one that will be revealed in a future challenge. I love it when Heidi teases us. Back in the workroom Tim does his usual "shocking" reveal and tells them that the international jetsetter will be... the designers themselves! Oh Christ another week with no models. This is getting tough. They better make up for it next week by having then design dresses made up entirely of saran wrap or something.
