Again, the models of Project Runway have the week off. How crappy it must be to get ‘eliminated’ for a week when you didn’t actually do anything. Heidi does her usual “Good morning, designers” spiel and instead of the usual models coming onto the runway, a group of gawky teenagers in uniforms come trudging out. Heidi explains that the designers will be working with these teenagers to create their prom dresses. Christian is justifiably horrified at the idea. The other twist for this week is that the girls have gone through the designers’ portfolios and have selected who they will […]

Finally! Project Runway has emerged from the depths of their Christmas break. Not that the designers actually TOOK a break during filming, but we can live with the delusion that Project Runway designers aren’t completely sleep deprived. We already know, due to the incessant repetition of the preview for this night’s episode, that it’s the ‘make something fabulous out of crap’ episode. I love this episode — it’s crafty, it’s creative and has the potential for pretty big meltdowns. We begin this episode ordinarily enough — designers starting their day. Kevin’s all alone in his Gotham apartment, since all of […]

So naturally, there will be no recap today. I didn’t watch the old episodes; instead I watched Ninja Warrior on G4. If you haven’t watched it, you don’t know what you’re missing. Happy Holidays everyone!

I’m seriously ready for some drama tonight. We’ve been given a glimmer of hope that we find out what the drama is with Jack. We begin the episode with Jack discussing a sore that he thought was a zit, but by the way it’s growing, it’s definitely not a zit. Apparently he has had staph infections in the past, and he’s hoping that this is not one of them. I can’t blame him. It’s a nasty thing to have. But first, it’s model selection time. There’s this really weird shadow behind the Project Runway logo. What appears is a group […]

by WindUpDoll I want the Project Runway perfume discussed at the top of this episode. Who wouldn’t want to smell like sweat, tears & Chinese food? Ok, I guess it depends on WHAT Chinese food. Is it Wong’s Wok fried rice with greasy gravy? Then no, I don’t want it. It’s time for the tedious model selection, but apparently only Jack gets to pick. He chooses to mess Ricky up and take his model. So Ricky doesn’t get to pick, he just gets Jack’s leavings. Back in the workroom, Tim and Nina are there to introduce the next challenge. With […]

I don’t know if Project Runway is trying to appeal to a wider audience, or just trying to vary the challenges a bit, but this episode was a bit of a break from the typical fashion format. Oh, we still had cattiness, we still had sewing, but we also had a little something for the straight guy in the competition. That little something was Tiki Barber. But first, we learn Jack is HIV positive & see his huge baggie of drugs. Thankfully he currently reports that he’s healthy as a horse. Christian is still a bit stunned from being taken […]

That’s right, I’m not calling this a recap. No, no, this is a Project Runway shamecap — a recap laden with shame for the program being recapped. Why, you may ask? Because the teases for the upcoming episode promised me a Jack announcement that would be shocking — SHOCKING, I tell you. Did I get that? No. I got dooky squat, was what I got. Oh, you’ll see the tease as they open the show, but you’ll get no resolution or any sort of leatherwork-help-getting-cheating or pattern-book-hiding satisfaction. Grr. So we have the blah, blah, “Why did she have to […]
