Blayne, I get; Terri? Not so much.
Ah! So this is about the episode of Project Runway that aired on September 10. I wrote most of this while I was watching the show for the first time and then finished and forgot to publish it!
The challenge this week was to create an avant-garde outfit based on the astrological sign of one of the two designers on the team. Just judging by their reactions upon being told the theme, I sort of doubt that a lot of these people understand what avant-garde means. And I think that Tim understands this. I think the producers are kind of evil geniuses, so their idea of having people who lost work with people still on the show is pretty hilarious. The tension in that room must be almost unbearable. I would hate to be Keith. Poor Keith. He just never catches a break, does he?
Kenley and Emily are so annoying together. Kenley by herself is a lot to take, and giving her a sidekick in her cockiness is not helping matters. What are you so chipper about, Emily? When this is done, you go home. Suede must have been really really stressed out. He forgot to use the third person when talking about himself. For this reason, and this reason alone, I will acknowledge his existence today.
I am not impressed with Kenley’s outfit, and the way that she gets so defensive whenever the judges off any criticism makes me cringe. 1) It’s totally unprofessional to argue with people who are offering their opinions on your item and 2) sometimes I respond that way to criticism, and it’s humbling to see how immature and ugly a reaction it really is.
I felt that a lot of the items made for this challenge were pretty fugly, and I guess I’m biased because she was hilarious and talented, but I’m bummed that Terri had to go home. Also, her items consistently received very high marks, and even if they were disappointed by her outfit and her inability to play nice with Keith, I think she was deserving of another chance. Blayne has been making weird and unflattering outfits almost from the get-go, and I think that he was being kept around for entertainment value, until the producers realized that everybody has a really leathery friend whose brain has been fried by the tanning bed. Being tanorexic is not entertaining for more than 5 seconds (although Blayne’s stock did rise when he unironically called Stella “leatherface”). I didn’t get Jerells’ dress at all, and though that Leanne should have won. I guess they didn’t want to give it to her three times in a row. Leanne makes great clothes pretty much all the time now, and I think that this is her competition to lose.

I didn’t think that Terri’s work was very creative and was absolutely cheap looking. I also couldn’t stand her bad attitude so I was happy to see her eliminated.

I do wonder what kind of Terri-shenanigans the powers that be chose to edit out. Everybody seemed to dislike Terri, and I’d love to know what she did to deserve it. Even Korto, who seemed pretty even-keeled and unlikely to get drawn into any sort of petty squabbles, didn’t seem to have a high opinion of Terri or her comments. But I still wouldn’t mind being outfitted in a Terri original (assuming she had more than 8 hours and $75 to create it).
