Sturm und Drang! - 
by EdHIll
I had a love hate relationship with this weeks episode of Project Runway. Love because it was without a doubt the most entertaining and laugh out loud funny shows of the entire season. The hate comes from the fact that it's a reunion/clip show. Not that I hate them. I love them and Project Runway is known for its great reunion shows. No, the hate comes in knowing that I have to write a recap of what is essentially, a recap show. It just doesn't translate well. I mean, would you rather read about a hilarious Tim Gunn montage or just see it? I can only stick in so many cooter jokes before the bloom is of that rose.
So this recap is a little later and a little shorter than the others, and will rely more on some handy dandy clipgasms. As with previous Project Runway reunion shows, it had some fantastic moments. Keith returns and has more conspiracy theories than Oliver Stone on mescaline, Heidi had some classic goofy lines, and we finally find out how difficult it is for the models to stand still in a dress for a half an hour. It's a miracle that they survived.
The show starts with the usual "Our story so far" montage of past challenges and an collection of all the Heidi auf's, an auftage if you will. From there we go right to reunion stage. Heidi and Tim welcome everyone with a smile. They tell us what we have to look forward to this show. Clips, discussion and fan questions. Also, someone will be named the "fan favorite" and win ten thousand dollars. "Very thrilling isn't it?" Tim says. "Yes, it's a lot of money!" Heidi answers. I mean, that's almost like 10 seconds of runway work for her!
The first thing they ask is how they are being treated on the street. Bradley is unrecognizable in his new clean cut look so he says no one recognies him at all.

Get a haircut and get a real job
Bonnie then tells a story of how someone walked up to her on the street and just said "Oh my god, I hate you!" and ran off. Bonnie's response was like, concise and revealing;
When they ask the same question of Vincent we get a classic Vinnie answer. "Knowing who your fans are and why they like you is a beautiful thing." Vincent's bringing creepy back. Then Heidi asks if it "tuned him on." Oh Heidi! After a few minutes of chit chat they bring out our final 4. Uli, Michael, Jeffrey and a very pregnant Laura whose breasts have miraculously remained the exact same size.
They start things off with some questions from the fans. The first one asks Laura if she ever wears jeans. She says that her riding pants and boots are her version of jeans and sneakers. Much like how MC Hammer pants are my version of jeans. Then Heidi looks over at Tim and says "I've never seen you in Jeans. You're always very James Bond." Hmmm, Tim Gunn as James Bond? I wonder....
After a brief rundown of how we got our final 4 we get to our first big moment of the night. They bring back the one and only Keith Michael for the first time since he was booted off the show. He is brought out to rather tepid applause and then Tim shows a clip of when he gets kicked out. When they get back Keith begins his conspiracy theories in earnest. He claims the pattern books were taken from him when he got there and then they magically appeared in his room a week later, and then he got kicked off. This doesn't sit well with Tim who says unequivocally that the producers do not involve themselves with "hanky panky". When Keith calls out Tim on him referring to Keith as "rolling over like a puppy" Tim holds his ground and says that that is exactly how he acted (he did) and then says its time to move on to something else.
After the commercial break we get our first clip montage of the night and it's a doozy. It's a collection of Tim's big words. As my momma used to say "He uses his mouth pertier than a 3 dollar whore" and by mom I mean Slim Pickens from Blazing Saddles. We here him say things like "Sturm und Drang" and "caucus". Check it out.
