Vincent Gets Auf - 
by EdHIll
There's nothing like a good change of scenery to spice things up. Just like when the Facts of Life went from a boarding house to a candy store to try and revitalize the show, Project Runway has relocated, albeit temporarily, to the heart of the Fashion world, Paris, France. Now all they need is a young George Clooney with big hair to complete the effect.
But of course heaven forbid that Project Runway needed to spice things up. They've got a strong season going for them so far, thank you very much. So this little diversion should prove to be a nice change of pace. And it raises the specter of the greatest challenge they could ever attempt to do: The sexy French maid outfit challenge.
So finally in honor of Project Runway's Paris trip, I have decided to finish this recap entirely in French, the language of Love, as opposed to the language of hate, which we all know is Inuit.
Tellement en ce moment vous vous demandez si je vais réellement accomplir cette récapitulation en français. Non, pas vraiment. Je suis simplement curieux pour voir si mes typos sont dépassent la langue et également I pour voir si n'importe qui prend la peine de traduire ceci et de le lire. Si oui, mon chapeau est éteint à vous!
OK, just kidding. I can barely type in English much less another language. The show starts immediately after 
Angela was sent unceremoniously packing. And no they didn't send her right home they gave her a day to see the sights and have a nice meal. It's Bravo, they're not entirely heartless. They've kept Carson Cressley employed for over 3 years, exactly 2 years and 10 months longer than he was of any interest to anyone. We start with our annoyingly cliché French accordion music moments after the last eviction. Alas this lame music will pervade the entire episode until they leave for New York. Thank god they didn't go to England as we'd be hearing God Save the Queen every 5 minutes.
Catherine Maldonado then tells the designers about their next challenge. They are to design couture dress. Now for those of you who don't know, and that was me until I looked it up last season, couture is a term referring to a hand made one of a kind high fashion dress. And France is the capitol of it. I'm ambivalent about it since a lot of what I've seen in the past of couture is what turns the normal person off from fashion. Ridiculous crap like this and this. But for a challenge, why not. And besides, Couture rhymes with cooter, so it can't be all bad.
Catherine says that in France couture is a serious business. You have to be licensed by the government to do it. Just like Germany has strict beer making laws, France has strict fashion laws. 007, license to couture. Wow, that was one bad joke.
They have only two days to complete the dress. When Vincent hears this he is shocked. "I mean a couture gown in what, 20 hours?". Vincent is using the European clock you see where an hour of their time is like 2.4 of hours. It's the metric system. They do things differently over there. Even their plugs look weird. Catherine then says they are all invited to a party Sunday night where they can present all of the fabulous gowns. The password to get in is "Fidelio" and be sure to wear a weird mask and bring lots of condoms. From there Tim tells them they are heading to their hotel and after they unpack he is taking them all out to dinner. Are there Red Lobsters in Paris?
After a brief look at their hotel and a walk around town, which made me convinced that I need to go to Paris soon, they walk through the courtyard of the Louvre and past the final resting place of the Holy Grail. Oops, I've said too much... Moving on. They then go to what Laura calls a "great French restaurant" , or as the French call it, "a restaurant".
