Go watch "Project Runway" before you read this spoiler-filled post
Last night's episode of "Project Runway" was... well, you know. You watched it. Sure, it was disappointing that Kenley didn't get the boot, but in all fairness, her wedding dress was much better than Jerell's (because it was Alexander McQueen's design, but whatevs). After looking at Jerell's full collection, I think the judges probably made the right decision, no matter how nasally Kenley's voice is.
All in all, last night's episode was not really about the elimination of the fourth designer or about waiting impatiently for someone to give Kenley a belated beat-down; nor was it even about the fact that these people go on "Project Runway" to design clothes and then cry and bitch whenever they're asked to... you know... design clothes. It was about this:
Tim Gunn on a mothershucking tandem bicycle.
For the rest of my years, I will never be as full of joy and love for the world as I was the moment I saw Tim Gunn wearing his favorite suit and a bright blue helmet, fearing for his life on the back of a tandem bicycle.
I love you, Tim Gunn. I love you, universe, for bringing Tim Gunn into my life. And I love, love, love this:
Incidentally, I hope Leanne wins "Project Runway." Her designs are the least of the suck.
Comments:
You know what's odd, Heather? I love Tim Gunn on "Project Runway" and I HATE him on his own "transform the dowdy chick into a ravishing sophisticate" Bravo TV show. Perhaps it shows that some people are better supporting players than stars. (I always liked Rhoda more on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" than on Rhoda.)
As for "Runway," I begrudgingly have to agree with you on the merits of the judges picking Kenley over Jerell. Even though I think her bridesmaid dress looked a little like something an Oompha Loompah would roll down the aisle in, her dresses had a lot more polish than Jerell's.

You're so right, Donald. I can't watch that other show, either.

while jerell has been a talent, and a bit of a comedian throughout this season, his line sucked. his wedding dress sucked. the criticism of his dress looking dirty was spot on.
although, he was quite teh funny as he dissed michael kors for doing a plain white t-shirt.
and while i think kenley should've been booted long ago for repeatedly running out a 50's knock off, her wedding dress was great. and, what we saw of her line was better than 2/3 of the other contestants.
having said all this, if leanne doesn't win i'm tracking down the captain's daughter and...
