I have a confession to make:
I'm obsessed with DVR.
I'm also unemployed. One of those may have some influence on the other, but, no matter. What does matter is that I, too, am back, darlings! And not only am I back on the Stunway - I am sans job, and avec a whole queue of DVR'd Project Runway! Bliss doesn't quite capture my emotional state...it's more like, ah yes, euphoria! And so, after my 17th viewing of "Rings of Glory," I have much to say...but let's start with this:
Hey, you! With the blue fauxhawk! Um, did you think we weren't going to notice this??
Um, no, honey...that's the same dress, with a different neckline. And it wasn't even as cleverly disguised as a Rami Kashou drape job, it was more like the slap-you-in-the-face, ohmigod-he-already-MADE-that variety, that we saw in last season's non-final finale...
Yeah, that's right, you hit us with the Chris March Madness! I guess it doesn't matter in the end, since Suede just joined the middle-of-the-pack desginers who completely blew off the challenge, but, still! Someone had to call out ol' diamond vest. So, I'm just saying, Suede...you're on notice.
The next notable designer, to me, is Kenley - that sweet, adorable hyena. I am the least mad at her for totally ignoring the challenge because A) duh, I friend crush her and 2) I loved her outfit! But...let's pause for a moment to imagine 250 of this walking down a track in China...
Ha! Oh, Ken, that would be ridic. I mean, not as ridic as Jerrell's, but....hey! That reminds me! Everyone back off of Jerell! I LOVED his skirt (HATED his belt, but LOVED his skirt), so let's just chill on the J-bashing, k judges?
Uuuunnnnless the J in question is Joe, because, nothing great was ever achieved by a man who loves skorts. And his slight hints of passive-aggressivo and homophobia are not making him any friends in the workroom (or the audience). So while he may have gotten a leg up through his dabble in sportswear, he earned a thumbs down for his workroom etiquette and personality en general. Plus, come on, this is reality tv...in the end, we can likely forgive a silly design more easily than a crappy persona...
Exhibit Blayne! Blayne has decided to use the exact same color scheme and shoddy, asymmetrical workmanship in every challenge, and yet...I love. He pouts better than I do (a feat to be marveled at!), he doesn't know who the Beatles are, and the more his skin fades, the more I find him adorable. B, you can stay. For now. Sorry, Ringo!
And finally, I have to hand it to Korto. She got the challenge, she used innovative materials, and she created a garment that made me proud to be an American. Dare I say it, I salute you, Miss Korto! Keep up the good work....
...but go easy on Kenley, cuz I won't have
nobody talking smack on my homegirl.

same thoughts about kenley--who cares what the challenge was, that dress was amazing. she's jillian 2.0, for SURE.
I think Jerrell got the shaft in the previous ep ... he had a gorgeous dress that got nothing more than a 'you're safe' vote. I didn't think anyone's was purely awful this time around, they just didn't fit the challenge.
But I was appalled at Blayne's lack of Sgt. Pepper knowledge. I thought everyone went through a Beatles phase as a sort of right of passage.
I agree. Korto really nailed this challange. But what about Terri? I thought she did a good job too. It's her second time to get put on the sideline!
Waiting for the Clock to Hit 5pm?
