Project Runway 9 - Ep. 8 -"Time To Go Home ... Alone"


Unfortunately I’m suffering from an extreme case of Writer’s Block and can’t seem to get my usual as-it-happened, narrative-style recap down on paper. Therefore, we are going to “Plan B” – with “B” standing for “Bullet Points”… 
  • Bryce was the first person to speak this week – stating that he’s never won a challenge before. Immediately I knew he would be going home. 
  • After last week’s histrionics, Josh Eyebrows is now “in a much better place’. Question: Is Purgatory a better place than Hell?? Just asking… 
  • Speaking of Eyebrows, he is “intimidated” by large waistlines. Similarly, I am intimidated by over-made-up Queens with no “OFF” switch. And by “am intimidated by” I mean “intensely dislike”. 
  • Seriously, to hear some of the designers (especially Olivier) talk, the boyfriends/husbands were a bunch of Dom Deluise’s or Jabba the Hutt’s. Gimme a break. 
  • Bert’s client seemed spent the entire episode auditioning for the role of Tony “Boobie Monster” Nunzio – capo of Brooklyn’s infamous ‘Motorboating Crew’. Too bad The Sopranos is no longer hiring.
  • It’s hard for Eyebrows to “do simple”. It’s even harder for him to “be civil”. 
  • Poor Bryce, his client – Jovan – described his girlfriend (wife?) as “cutesy”, “elegant” and “girly”. Also “gritty”, “sophisticated” and “a total freak after five cosmos”. Oh, and she likes pink. 
  • Olivier, in addition to hating fat people, also hates women with boobies. As well as people who speak words. And also “clients”. 
  • When Bryce is in trouble, he turns into Macaulay Culkin from Home alone… 


  • You could see the women practically squeal with delight when Tim Gunn entered the room. Speaking of Tim, he was so funny this week – especially all the boobtalk
  • Remember the days when Project Runway had Guest Judges who were actually famous?? With that being said … who in the Purgatory is Malin Whatshername?? 

Results:
  • Safe: Kimberly, Olivier, Laura 
  • Top: Anya, Eyebrows, Viktor 
  • Bottom: Bryce, Bert, Anthony-Ryan 

Winner: Eyebrows...


Loser: Bryce, as predicted, is sent Home (Alone).



Next week: Menswear … forealz this time. And maybe even a real recap from Moi.
