Project Runway EP 12 Stuff

The Reunion happened Wednesday and, for the most part, I was really entertained. The Dictionary bits, both for Tim and the Contestants, were really funny. Maybe it's the English major talking, but I didn't find most of Tim's vocabulary to be so over the top. Robert was insanely funny. I've so missed Robert. As I was discussing with the person I watch this with, Robert should have been kept around for comic relief. I know that Barbie probably pays better...but he would be an excellent PR mascot!

As for the major things-

Keith - Whatever! His excuses are lame and uninventive. Oh, they didn't say you couldn't have books? It seems that other contestants have different views of the contract. The producers framed you? I'll agree that they've been distracted this season but I don't think they would frame a front-runner in such a way. Personally, I thought Keith's Doggy dress looked a lot like his "Wall to Wall" dress. If he had stuck around, I think people would have spoken about Keith like they speak about Laura or Uli. He's a one-trick-pony. Oh well. Once we moved past his nonsense, we were done with Keith. Thank god.

Vincent: he makes me uncomfortable. At first, it centered on him being obviously crazy. But as the season went on, it seemed as if people with talent were being passed over for people like Angela and Vincent. Yes, he was more gracious than Angela during the "Black and White" challenge. But then I saw the Bonus Video on bravotv.com in which he utterly trashed Laura and Angela and I was sickened. I don't even like Angela, but his "plays" at her potential death seemed completely vile. Vincent: If you didn't want Tim to talk shit about you, you shouldn't have talked shit about anyone else. (I've read the talk about Tim v. Vincent on TwoP and I can't help but side with Tim. He said everything I wanted to say but couldn't.)

Angela: I sympathized with you during the "Mom" thing. But as the series went on, that sympathy dwindled. Laura was right to call you out on your "win." You would not have won had it not been for Laura and Michael's high taste levels. When my partner and I watched the Jeff-Your Mom break down again we could not help but agree that it seemed staged. And, as shy as I am, had someone spoken to me as Jeff spoke to your mother, s/he would have to deal with the barrage of swears and defenses I would have thrown up to defend myself. I'm at least half your mother's age and I would not have dealt with the nonsense she supposedly dealt with. No, you and Jeff would not be friend. You wouldn't be sex buddies. Drop it!!

As for EP 13, I hope that all of this is just something that the producers are playing up for ratings. I adore Laura and I've begun to accept Jeffrey. From all that I have seen from him (watch the bonus video for the episdoe in which they kicked off Keith to find out how much training Jeffrey did for the show - very eye opening), I cannot imagine Jeff cheating. I hope it is a misunderstanding.

That said: the outfit we saw from Michael during the preview looked amazing on a dress form. It makes me wonder if seeing these designs in motion will change my opinions of who will win. As it stands: Uli is my front-runner, followed by Michael, Jeffrey, and Laura.
