Runway Roundup: Week Ditto?

Project Runway returned to us Wednesday after a week off and I can't believe what happened…nothing.

In an exercise of absolute stupidity the producers and judges decided to take the last elimination and eliminate it. That's right our group of four is still four. Now the fan in me is happy because one of my favorites would have been out if they'd gone ahead with the normal format but the reality show fan in me is pissed because this is the kind of twist that just doesn't work. Pretty much Bravo said not only will we take a week off, but then we'll show pretty much a place holder episode and then another place holder episode next week when we have the reunion show. Maybe next week they'll fool us again and not have an actual reunion on the reunion show.

I guess I should be happy that my favorite designers Michael and Jeffrey are still heading to fashion week. Shockingly Laura not only made it but wasn't even in the final two (I was so sure that outfit would get her the boot). I was NOT surprised however to hear Heidi say she'd wear everyone of Laura's outfits so far. Heidi, I know you're a supermodel and can make pretty much anything look good but seriously if you think Laura's outfits are nice then that must mean you pick out the outfits you wear during the runway portion of the show. I found it extra funny that someone who wore a milk maid outfit just a few weeks ago criticized Jeffrey for his. Seriously Heidi you sit next to Michael Korrs and Nina Garcia every week, you should ask one of them for some help.

Speaking of Jeffrey, I rather liked his outfit but I agree the word provocative did not come to mind even when worn in a rickshaw.

Michael's dress looked bad but not bad enough to leave. The gang got it right when they told him to stick to sportswear.

Uli deserved the win but an evil part of me really wanted her to stick to the muumuu design she had going on early. I think if she had shown that the judges would've decided to give the Elle photo shoot to no one.

We've got 3 more episodes:
The Reunion which looks like it will be a war of words between Heidi and Anthony Michael Hall or whatever his name was who got booted for cheating. (How quickly we forget)

The first part of the finale which if history tells us anything will be filled with Tim Gunn making his way across the country to visit the designers in their home environment. I can't wait until Laura's five maniac children act out in front of Tim and he offers Laura some parenting advice.

Then the big finale at Fashion Week. I must admit I did see 4 pics from the designers shows in my EW this week but I'm going to try and stay away from the blogs that have the whole shows. My money is still on Michael or Jeffrey. I can't believe that either Uli or Laura will be able to create a variety of looks at their show.

So try and wash the taste of last night out of your mouth and enjoy these last 3 weeks because then you're Runway free for a few months, at least until Heidi pops out her latest kid.
