let's do this.
*spoilers! if you haven't seen this episode yet, you're just as lazy as i am.
this episode was a fun one and a first. the designers had to design a prom dress made entirely out of duct tape. now if that doesn't sound like high school... because in high school there is always that group of "weird" kids who would make outfits out of duct tape. hell, when i was in high school, there was this one boy who made an entire three piece suit out of duct tape (i think there was one of those boys in every high school.) he was super proud of that suit, he should try out for Project Runway. and you can't forget about making your wallet out of duct tape, a project that kids tend to do while they are sitting at home getting high instead of doing their homework. oh high school. okay times.this is the episode where the claws came out of Kate. good lord girl, settle down. i want to say it's her youth - she is worried about all the catty bitches, but she is the catty one. i feel that is an issue younger girls worry about because when you get into your 30s you don't give a fuck about what other people think. it's good that she is being passive aggressive and is only showing her feelings during the interviews. that is exactly what i like about this show. i don't feel like watching people being all catty and bitchy to one another, i just want to hear them talk about each other behind their backs.
the show changed it up again. the designers are still working in teams of two, but everyone is changing team members. i think the only two that are working together again is Kate and Tu, and i see her game plan. she chose Tu knowing that she can control him. it's sad to see Tu reduced to Kate's helper, he has a very crazy style, and we haven't seen any of it from him during the past two challenges. this can go either way for Kate, if they are in the bottom she can very easily throw him under the bus and save her own skin. isn't it always the cute quiet ones who are the most diabolical?
we must talk about that gold duct tape, or better yet, we can have Layana whine about it some more because she did not whine about it enough during the episode. good lord girl, just stop. you sound like a spoiled brat and it doesn't help that you have a whiny sounding voice so it was even worse. i like how Richard was all like "i want all the gold duct tape and i am not sharing it with anyone. so go fuck yourselves, bitches." actually i just imagined him saying that in my head, because then i would respond with "you go gurl." Richard doesn't have to share with anyone, it is a competition first and foremost.
what was up with Patricia's crazy eyes during Tim's critique? they were super scary. it was like she was burning a hole into Tim soul with her glare and placing a hex on him for thinking her design was anything but fabulous, and it worked. i have no idea how Patricia works her magic, but she has someone on her side. i would guess having to work with her would be super hard, but Samantha made it work. i don't know how, but the two of them were able to produce a crowd-pleaser, even though i usually think Patricia's designs look like an arts and crafts project, and this was no exception.
let's talk about the designs:
Michelle and Amanda - it was a cute little dress. i didn't like the side cut-outs, but otherwise i can see a high school girl in that dress. the judges loved it. the "Gwen Stafani" dress. ugh! i also liked how Kate hated this dress and kept on saying that she was just in high school, and no one would ever wear that dress. oh Kate, i just think you are an old soul.
Stanley and Layana - i thought the dress was okay. i liked that they were going with this over-exaggeration of the bow and pleats. the bow and the bracelet they made for the dress was really cute. the judges loved it, of course.
Daniel and Richard - i liked the dress, but it was dated. i think what got them was when Tim told them during the critique that the dress "looks like a wow." the boys got cocky. i thought the ruffles turned out better on the runway than when we first saw them. the dress did look like it came right out of the movie Sixteen Candles. boy, did the judges not like this dress, and Nina especially was harsh on them.
Kate and Tu - oh this poor dress. it was okay. boring, but okay. the judges hated it, and i have to agree with everything they thought about this dress. it did not look like a prom dress. it was a mediocre runway dress, and no girl wants to go to their prom in a stuffy stiff dress. it was Kate's dress, and she was all cocky with this challenge and like "i was just in high school so i know what high school girls want." wrong Kate, you have no idea what the youth likes. the color of the dress was terrible too. choosing the denim duct tape, ugh.
Patricia and Samantha - the "jiffy pop" dress. ha! i thought it was okay, but of course the judges loved this dress. i really need to be smoking what the judges are smoking. then again i am just an old hag who knows nothing because this dress also won with the high school kids when they did the runway show for the students. it had the most student votes, wtf!
the winner: Michelle. i was just happy it wasn't Patricia. i liked Michelle and Amanda's dress more.
the loser: Tu and Kate. holy cow! they tossed out two people this week. i did not see this coming. i am totally cool with this decision. they both needed to go. at this point they are like one unit. they like working together as a team, but it really is just Kate with a helper. good call judges.what a great episode. i loved the whole duct tape thing. i hope to see it again.
i hope to have the next episode up soon. the show is just sitting in my DVR taking up precious space, and i need to get this shit out so my fellow Project Runway peeps know my feelings of each episode. it's very important stuff yo!
Project Runway airs on Thursday nights on Lifetime.
