Project Runway Season 4, Episodes 10 and 11
A double-post! Because I forgot to watch Project Runway last week. :P
First, Episode 10 a.k.a. The Stripper-Wear Challenge.
I... actually have very little to say about this episode. XD;; It was a whole bunch of glitter and rhinestones and spandex, and it's kind of hard to make wrestlers glamorous. Though, I have to agree that if they were dressing male wrestlers, things would have perked up. I certainly would've been more excited and paid more attention.
Ricky got auf'ed. ;__; I wasn't surprised, so he really DID make an orange bathing suit, as opposed to the wrestling wear. It was kind of surprising though, since -- as a lingerie designer -- he should've taken this challenge easily. I think he just got too caught up in the idea of "don't make it trashy", which... was almost a necessity. I'm sad to see him go, but he didn't cry! So yay!
But I'm so glad Chris won! His outfit was very interesting and fit his model's personality perfectly. And I liked the hoodie part of the coat. Also, I'm very glad that Christian didn't win. Yes, it's petty. Christian's outfit WAS really interesting -- definitely an S&M vibe there -- but I think it was just a hair too much. Chris' outfit, like the judges said, looked expensive. Even if it was green leopard print. ♥
As for the others, Jillian's outfit was cute. She certainly got that 'tomboy-sporty' vibe and made it work. Sweet P was SO LUCKY this week. I amend my previous statements, she's the Wendy Pepper of this season, only staying in when someone else FUCKS UP TOTALLY. I think Sweet P is very nice and when she's on she's on, but unfortunately, I think she's been missing the mark too many times. And Rami... *throttles him* He draped! Again! Spandex. Plus, the color of that outfit was HORRIBLE. Ugh ugh ugh. *shudders*
Okay, and now what you've been waiting for: Episode 11 a.k.a. The ELIMINATION
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
*cough* >_>;;
Okay, now that I've gotten that out of my system, I can go on.
RAMI YOU STUPID BASTARD. IT WAS A TRAP. THE WHOLE THING WAS A TRAP. AND YOU FELL RIGHT INTO IT. YOU SAW IT COMING BUT DIDN'T DODGE. THEY KNEW THE GREEK ART WOULD BREAK YOUR WILL AND IT DID AND YOU DRAPED AND YOU ARE SO FUCKING ARROGANT. NINA GARCIA SHOULD'VE KICKED YOUR ASS FOR THAT DRESS.
Well. I guess I didn't get it all out of my system. ^^;; But, really? Who didn't see Rami draping a dress after they threw him into that Ancient Greek statues room? Aphrodite is my muse, my ass. He fucking KNOWS the judges have a problem with him draping EVERY FUCKING THING HE CAN GET HIS HANDS ON. I'm glad the judges took him to task for that fuck up, though I was sorta pissed that Nina actually apologized for having to say bad things to him. He's sorta the judges' golden boy, but this time, it worked against him. Rami REALLY needs to get out of his draping box, or he really isn't gonna show at Fashion Week.
BUT MY SISSY BEAR IS IN! SORTA!
I was really upset that Chris decided to nap in the middle of everything. That was a bad move. Plus, the whole over-the-top shoulderpiece made me cringe, since it was SO MUCH like the avant garde dress. But, I loved his expression when Heidi told him he was in. And the shocked disappointment on Rami's face bwahahahah. Still, if Chris does do a whole collection of couture, he really WILL put on a fabulous show. He'll do it even if everything is pret-a-porter, too. I just hope that he wins out against Rami's 3 pieces (which he will if Rami drapes). I wanna see Sissy Bear at Fashion Week!
Christian and Jillian... well, I had a hunch they'd be showing at Fashion Week anyway (especially Christian). I still don't like Christian's love of black and puffy sleeves, and god, Jillian. Can't see do more than a jacket? Yes, she does it well, but she loves to throw around that "futuristic" word too much. "Futuristic" doesn't always mean high collared jackets. DX But she does have a definitely style and is willing to take risks.
EDIT...
Before I forget about it, I like the fact that this isn't a sure-thing "4 designers show" like what happened last season. In Season 3, Uli, Michael, Laura and Jeffrey were all very strong designers who all did very different styles. The judges wanted to see all those mindsets go up against each other. And all of them were very strong throughout the whole season.
Here, Chris and Rami can both be taken as "one-notes" (especially Rami), and Chris was even eliminated once. This decision by the judges to have them both make their collections then battle each other is the best way to go about things. Unfortunately, I think if Chris hadn't mimicked the avant garde dress he made before, or Rami hadn't draped his dress, one of them probably would've gone to Fashion Week directly.
