Welcome to TiFaux's coverage of the third season of Project Runway. There's so little on TV right now and we're all so taken with this show, we've decided to democratically split up who gets to write about each episode so that this site doesn't become obsessively focused on the Project. We were each assigned four (Dan got three) contestants, and whoever has the contestant who gets the boot gets to write about the show that week.
Lucky for me, Stacey didn't make it last night. Stacey went to Stanford and has a Harvard MBA, and she doesn't know how to use a sewing machine. She was doomed from the very first talking head interview, and double-doomed when she decided to make matching underwear for her see-through skirt.
Overall the contestants are a fun bunch — the sort of people you'd like to have a drink with. In this episode, they all arrived at the apartments, and I was happy to see that most people got along (none of Zulema's closet-hogging to be seen). Malan commented on the tackiness of the fake plants.
Hello, Malan! You are much more smiley and ingratiating than the "Road to the Runway" episode would have me believe. At first I thought you would be the troublemaker, this year's Santino, but after watching this episode I think that Santino Rice Honorary Charming Jackass Award goes to… Jeffrey!
Jeffrey talks a lot about how his design is great and everyone else is an amateur. Jeffrey has made clothes for lots of famous people. Jeffrey is one of those people who, at the end when they keep the best and the worst desingers on the runway, clearly believes himself to be in the "best" category up until the very moment Michael Kors says something bitchy.
For the challenge, the designers had to use only material found in their apartments. This lead to a very fun scene of them tearing the shit out of the rooms, and then a much, much less fun scene where they get home after 1 AM and the apartments are in the exact same state they left them. It was heartbreaking. I'd blame the cheapness of Bravo, but Queer Eye for the Straight Guy puts together larger and worse-looking rooms in less than a day all the time.
The winner was Keith, making his very first dress — he's done menswear in the past. His dress was really nice, and something I would definitely wear. Tim had a point that the judges ignored, though: it looks like a regular dress, not really taking much from the room.
My favorite designer so far has got to be Laura, the super-sophisticated mother of five. I deeply worry about Vincent. I am found of neurotics, but not only was the hat a monstrosity, the dress was kind of shapeless and gross, too.
What do you think?
