Keith, with the crying and the Utah
Keith is the most realistic crier in Project Runway history. Of course, unlike some reality program contestants who cry at the drop of a hat (Ricky, I’m looking your way), we only saw Keith bawl once he’d been eliminated from the competition. And cry he did. There was the scrunched up red face, fluid leaking from several places, and the choked up voice…it was enough to make me like him. I still don’t really like his stuff, but I liked him as a person. This show is at least 50% about personality (why else would Blayne still be there??), so I feel fine in saying that his likability should have been enough to keep him on the program. Plus, just about everybody else seems to find him hot, and while I definitely do not, I am shallow enough to also take that into consideration. During the episode, I almost felt really really bad for him, what with the self doubt and the Utah and all, but then he started talking about how much more he wanted this than everybody else, and I remembered why I used to find him insufferable. Why does every reality show person somehow think that their own desire is stronger or purer than that of everybody else? How exactly would one come to that conclusion? The self-absorption and sense of entitlement that I’ve seen this season is pretty staggering.
What is Kenley’s deal? She laughed at Daniel last week (ON THE RUNWAY) when he was talking about his taste, but then this week said that he was her best friend and she was sad he was gone. If Jerell thinks that Terri has two faces, how many does Kenley have?
