TV Wednesday On Thursday: Project Runway

**SPOILER ALERT**

I skipped posting about Project Runway last week so this week's post is a two-fer.

Last week's show was a "get the gang back together" group show where all the contestants talked about their experience now that the show was over. They also named Christian to be the fan favorite. I'd say he is mine, too, although I think he would drive me crazy if I knew him in person.

Does anyone think that contestant Kevin reminds them of blogger Moby?

Next was the decision on whether to send Rami or Chris to show at Fashion Week. I hadn't seen any previous footage of Chris being a big over-the-top San Francisco drag queen. The costumes in those pics were fa-bu-lous. He should get a gig at Beach Blanket Babylon which is one of my favorite nights out in San Fran. Chris's designs all seemed to focus on the use of human hair. That was his unique selling point and it was either gonna make him or break him. At first I was a little weirded out, but then I thought about how so many people are using extensions of real human hair these days, so what's the diff?

Rami, who blogger Joe.My.God met at a NYC dance party, presented quite classic styles. Nothing weird but nothing too common either. The judges singled out a dress that incorporated some of his draping style — of all the designs presented last night, it was my favorite, too. Rami's back story is interesting as well. Born in Jerusalem, his birth mother was beauty queen Miss Jordan back in the day. Now he's living in L.A. (Silverlake area for all you leatherettes out there) and making a go of it. Good for him!

The final decision came down for Rami although I think they all were really sad to see Chris go. Too bad their weren't four spots at Fashion Week.

So the next episode is the last. I think I inadvertently read a story on the winner. That's going to take the fun out of it for me.

Update: Potential spoilers in the comments.

Wait, you do know that all five [Sweet P, Chris March, Rami, Christian and Gillian] showed at Fashion Week don't you?

Every year to not reveal who wins one the show, they always have the last person to be voted off.

And yep, the hair on Chris' dress made it to the runway.

Here's a peek at Sweet P's line.

Oh crud, I just didn't ruin it for you, did I?

Bid Daddy--No you didn't spoil it. I just read what you said in today's paper that all 5 showed at Fashion Week...even Sweet P. A bit disingenuous of the show...we'll see how they handle it in the final episode.
