Did you know Tim Gunn was on The Daily Show the other day?

Go ahead and watch it, why don’t you?

I just want to be the first to tell you — there’s no new Project Runway this week.

It’s not fair, I know.

There’s no obvious reason for this, but now you can free up your evening.  Just keep drinking and don’t worry about being home by ten.

I’ve learned my lesson.

No more posting about Project Runway the day after unless it’s well labeled as spoilery and all of the incriminating material is posted well after the jump.

That said, I’ve created a list of Project Runway superlatives based on last night’s episode. Click through to see what they are. Well, I’ll put a couple tame ones on the front page:

Most non-sensical comment

Christian’s comment to a model “Thank you more than life.” It sounded like a thing — but it’s not.

Most lovable Sweet P moment

When she lifted up her foot to show everyone how dirty it was after running around the tetanus-laden warehouse. It’s just another example of why I love her. She’s so child-like — like she’s Laura Bennett’s kid, offering Tim Gunn turtle poop.

What’s the appropriate amount of time between the airing of an episode and discussing it openly on the internets. I’m going with a one-day buffer.

• Nashville Star is moving to NBC this summer.
• Don’t get your hopes up for an Lively-Badgely wedding.
• There are photos of the next Survivor tribal council and of some challenges. If that means anything to you.
• The Directors Guild has a deal with the studios — is this nice foreshadowing? E-Kristin breaks it down.
• Reality Blurred has news on all sorts of new reality shows including a spin-off of My Super Sweet 16.
• The Oscars will go on no matter what.
• Kiefer’s getting out of the big house.
• E-Kristin talks to you-know-who from Project Runway about his/her auffing.
• Linda Cardellini of ER and Freaks and Geeks talks to The AV Club.
• Want to check out the next season of Jericho? Meh…
• Survivor’s Jonny Fairplay has reproduced.
• Is The Wire the sexiest show on TV?

There’s been a lot of fuss about this season of Project Runway regarding the lack of drama.

I have to admit, this is kind of a lackluster season.  It’s totally watchable, don’t get me wrong, but the drama seems a little wanting.  If Christian wasn’t around to say things like a crazy egomaniac, what else would we have?  Chris?  Kit?  Elisa’s crazy ass? I guess Ricky picks the occasional fight and does plenty of out-of-nowhere crying…

Anyway, here’s a little chart plotting various cast members based on drama and talent.

We haven’t gone down this road in a while, but let’s dive back in. For this match-up, let’s pair up Project Runway’s hunky draper Rami Kashou with the bumbling action hero Chuck.

At first, this might not seem like an even match-up. Given Rami’s comparative brawn, one might assume that he’d be able dismember Chuck before the lowly computer tech could even stammer out a lovable quip. However, when you think about their different lifestyles, things get a little more complicated.

Chuck’s daily life involves international espionage and intense action sequences with bullets whizzing past his head. Rami’s daily life, on the other hand, involves competitive sewing. So it might not be that easy.

Rami

Strengths:

• Grew up in Jerusalem — they make ‘em tough
• Tree trunk-like arms
• His sexuality/smoldering gaze

Weaknesses:

• Even temper might prevent him from entering a conflict
• Creatives aren’t generally known for their scrappy fighting ability
• Fashion designer

Chuck

Strengths:

• Mr. Magoo-like resilience
• He’s got a frickin’ COMPUTER in his BRAIN!
• Consistent ability to defy improbable odds

Weaknesses:

• Scared of most things
• Easily manipulated
• Seemingly helpless when left on his own

I like to think I would’ve picked this one, personally.

And definitely not Sweet P or Victorya’s. Maybe the fun of Kit’s or the structured-ness of Jillian’s would have caught my 18-year-old eye, but who knows.

Tim, as usual, offers his measured take on the prom dresses here. Then come back and tell me which you’d choose.

The outcome of last night’s Project Runway wasn’t really an out-and-out travesty, but it was still a disappointment (spoilers ahead — avert your eyes, innocents).

During a challenge that wasn’t as chock full of drama as it could’ve been (I’m thinking they really could have blown things up into Gossip Girl proportions by involving the girls more), I thought you could have done a lot worse than the loser’s dress. And people certainly did.

Here are my thoughts on the episode in no particular order.

• The scene with the Filipina mom expressing concern over whether Kevin’s dress made her daughter look pregnant was painful to watch. I can envision almost any sort of ethnic mother untactfully expressing her reservations to the designer to the chagrin of her eye-rolling, English-fluent, second generation daughter. It was both painful and endearing, I suppose. In a way.
• I love Sweet P as a person (dresses are hit and miss). In fact, I kind of grow to love her more with each episode. Even though she’s the oldest competitor, she’s got this childlike way of demonstrating her nerves — getting all bug-eyed and trembly, but still smiling through it. That said, her dress was kind of butt and I don’t know why it was in the top two. It made the girl wearing it look as wide as a house.
• Is it wrong to intensely dislike a kid? It’s wrong, right? And if you don’t have anything nice to say, blah, blah. (Although that adage generally goes against the whole idea of the blogosphere) But, suffice to say, Christian’s model… wow… just, wow…
• I’m going to talk about Rami in a whole separate post (it’s complicated), but Jesus God did you see that beefcake towel shot in the beginning? I guess he’s carrying Jack’s torch.
• Victorya’s pretty talented, but try as I might to make her that way, she’s not oozing likability. Maybe it’s just in her nature to be cautious and reserved, but she’s no Chloe Dao. I may as well stop projecting.
• Ricky and his hats need to be shown the door very soon.
• Project Runway Season Four Drinking Game: Drink every time Christian says “fierce,” drink every time Chris says something and cracks himself up, drink every time Ricky cries or explains the context of why this is important to him, drink every time Christian threatens to vomit or die, drink every time Rami is looking supa-fine (I’m drunk just thinking about it).

You guys, he may seem nice, but he’s crazy. I’m not talking about Obama.

A scene from last night’s Project Runway…

Michael Kors: That looks like Barney Rubble.

Maggie and Kyle, turning to each other: Trouble?

I then spent the rest of the episode swearing that if Rami didn’t win it would be a travesty of justice and the end of Project Runway and me forever. His candy dress was one of the best-looking things I’ve ever seen on the show. Thankfully, I didn’t have to write any angry letters.

I’m not sure I would’ve booted Elisa if I were the judges. Sure, her dress was gross-looking, but this is at least the second time that Sweet P has brought out something that looks like crumpled paper and in no way fit, at all. And it would have been thematically appropriate to get rid of someone with “sweet” in her name. What do you think?
