Heidi, bangs. Cut them. Can you actually see anything with those bangs?
These shows always start off really sweet. The designers are all supportive & happy. Heidi & Tim ask all of the sweet & nice things. Then they bring out the designers who are showing at Fashion Week. So get ready for the bitchy.
Speaking of which, Victoria had her own show at Fashion Week as well. Tim congratulates her and she’s got that look of ‘Yeah, I know. I did it on my own. Suck it.’
The finalists are introduced and brought into the group. We get a recap of the ‘amazing’ ending of the last episode. Shocking, Shocking that there are people showing collections who really aren’t up for the final prize!
We have Chris’ thoughts on the finale and how they need to compete. Blah, blah, blah.
Then we get a recap of Jack and his MRSA. Looking at the episode again, it’s really dramatic, the difference in his face. Thankfully he looks much better now, but he was in the hospital for a week. Apparently Victorya was upset by the whole thing, but it’s unclear why she was upset — if she was worried about Jack, or if she was mad about something else.
We have a discussion of Kevin and his supposed heterosexuality. Apparently Jack likes to be naked all the time, so there were clips of Kevin lamenting ‘please put some clothes on!’ In the menswear challenge, Heidi called his outfit ‘fruity.’ He’s a good sport about being the token straight guy in an apartment full of gay.
Christian calls the competition a tranny mess, especially the amount of Chinese food consumed and passed later.
We then get treated to an Elisa package and how weird she is. She writes backwards in her journal. That’s actually really impressive to me, just because it’s so hard. She may be whack, but she’s probably way, way smart. And she’s way happy, so it’s hard for me to dislike her. She’s not like jubilee jumbles girl who got pissy all the time.
Then we get a Ricky weepy package. He gets weepy when he said ‘accessory wall.’ He’s way weepier than Andre. Way. At least with Andre you could see all of frustration in him. With Ricky, it’s just everything. You can tell that he’s embarrassed by this, but he seems to take it well. He almost gets killed when he says he ‘cried like a woman.’
Ohhh, goody, then the ‘did you not like the way other people talked about you’ question. Now we’re getting somewhere. Carmen is all over this one. After the challenge where she got booted off, Carmen was upset that no one missed her, and that Sweet P was glad that it wasn’t her. Kit apparently made a comment about her outfit not being good enough. She’s been waiting for this for months, you can tell. Can’t do it off-camera, no-no. Gotta get them on camera. Everyone reassures her. Whatever.
Then we get a package of Chris’ laugh. He does have a great laugh, especially in an empty museum. Jillian apparently got annoyed by it at times. She seemed to get annoyed by many things. Designers tickle Chris to get a laugh to go to commercial.
Now we get the thoughts of Nina and the orange one, Michael Kors. Apparently there was one challenge where all the judges lost their crap. Oh, yeah, it’s the WWE challenge. Ricky’s wrestler did a hip thing that sent Michael Kors over the edge and everyone lost it. They had to hold before Chris’ wrestler came out, and when she did, he just lost it again. I love watching people laugh uncontrollably.
So of course we have to revisit the wrestling challenge, and Christian’s wrestler alter ego Ferocia Coutura. His weapon of choice is hairspray and tight braids. Jillian’s wrestler alter ego is Tuffie and her signature move is pirouette into a kick to the face. Chris, of course, would be Wonder Woman, ’cause he’s made that outfit before. His signature move is crushing people with his large breasts. Rami becomes Ramilicious and his signature move is a draped piece of fabric that he uses to confuse and bind his adversary until he’s able to kick them in the back. Sweet P’s Spread Eagle would use her thighs to put foes into a headlock and break their neck. And last, but certainly not least, is Ricky’s Mexican Jumping Bean. His move is a twirl with a kick. Tim uses Polysyllabugus as his diva name. It fits — he uses big words to stun his opponents. I feel like I’m at roller derby!
Who’s going to eat the sausage? This is the question Heidi Klum poses to the designers. She’s dangling that sausage in front of you to go to fashion week. You don’t really need to know anything else about the Heidi montage. Everything else pales in comparison.
The judges rail on the designers for the menswear challenge. Heidi mentions ‘no shirt’ and Carmen gets all huffy again. The website question was what was the worst piece they saw. They refrain from answering that question. They thought the hair challenge was the best challenge.
The designers get to ask the judges questions. Chris asks what they write on their cards. It’s nothing earth-shattering.
Prom challenge question. Kevin basically gets grilled again about his creation, and he wants it to stop, Kevin talks about he would’ve sacrificed himself to let Christian stay, simply because he wanted to see more from Christian.
We have a heady discussion of the designers being under the microscope of TV. It’s actually interesting, but not very bloggable. Elisa gives the most lucid, non-judgmental assessment of it all. It’s good to get past the ‘but I felt so DIFFERENT on camera!’ ‘How?’ ‘It just WAS!’ I want infighting, not whining, ok?
Christian wins the fan favorite challenge, apparently by a landslide. Michael Knight comes out to pass on the big check. Michael won the check last year, and is using the funds to create a scent. We get treated to a Christian montage. He flat-irons the entire flawlessness. Did you know that his hair has 3 sides — party, business and moneymaker? There’s a lot of fierce going on here, and he’s a bit embarrassed. He says he’s not saying fierce again on the show.
The final 4 have left the group & the rest get to talk behind their backs about who will win. A lot of people pick Rami, but Christian, Jillian and even Chris get kudos. Ricky looks ticked through most of the show. But it’s all speculation at this point, as we’ve got to wait until next week until the start of the Project Runway finale.
