Project Runway's Asian: Fierce but No Cigar

Posted by Nina Lalli at 9:32 AM, January 24, 2008

Here is a picture of the mean Asian randomly sewing a bunch of denim onto the bottom of a jacket she probably snatched out of someone else's arms to begin with because, as she likes to announce, she's competitive.

Well, even though the fat guy made a dress that would only be appropriate for the love interest in a Color Me Badd video, he's hanging in for another week. It seems Bravo couldn't resist a bitch-off between Jillian and Victorya's heinous coat-dress-things. Jillian's might have been even uglier, but at least it seemed harder to make, and there you have it.

Other things that happened in this episode:

The designers were again forced to run many yards for no reason except to amuse you.

Wilmer cried tears of joy about seven times, and won for the first time.

Jillian wore a weird skirt that made us fear she might start salsa dancing or something. She also cried.

During a break, the gay version of that Levi's commercial aired. You know, where the guy is pulling on his jeans and the whole building crumbles and he's left with a hot chick. Except it was a dude in a skin tight T-shirt this time. It still didn't make any sense. But then again, we're old.

Everyone wore terribly unflattering shorts.

Chris should of gotten the boot AGAIN. V's coat was terrible but not worthy of getting the axe when Chris is still on.

This episode only proved that Project Runway is fixed this year. Christian was robbed!! The guy that won should have been gone a long time ago. For all of his credentials, he is has been a big disappointment. Also, I thought that the task was corny. My sister did a fashon show more than 10 years ago that featured items reconstructed from jeans.

I don't know what Project Runway was thinking, but this year the show absolutely sucks. Why in the heck did they choose the people that are on the show this year?? If the guy that won this week makes it to Bryant Park, Project Runway will lose me as a viewer. Because then I know that it is fixed!!

Well that was just hilarious.
Sitting bored as hell in my web design class and I scroll upon this beacon of light!
Well I love PR but this season is total crap =[
though, Christian is amazing. The couture piece was..breathe taking
