Previously on Project Runway: make a dress for
Heidi for the Emmys. Boring. Some people made things short and shiny and tacky,
but they were told it was not OK. Everyone had the chance to go back to Mood
and buy more fabric, which not everyone did. Sandhya took all the extra money
and everyone complained about it, but you snooze you lose. Anyway, Sean won,
for making a long dress with fringe. Apparently fringe is in. It was a fine
dress. Then in a weird shocking development there was a double elimination as
both Mitchell and Kristine were kicked out. Very surprising. I could have done with
getting rid of Korina also but I’ll take Mitchell. (click for more)
All the girls are just like, sitting around the
apartment not talking. Amanda says it’s pretty tense because out of nowhere
Korina told her she’s a phony. Yeah, that’ll go over well. Korina sort of
laughs and says “Don’t even think about it, just do you.” I’m not sure why she
thought that would help. Not that I disagree that Amanda is annoying and I guess
phony. Why talk after that? Amanda cries and I can’t summon any sympathy.
Everyone heads for a “music hall” and it seems to
be set up for a wedding reception. Then Dita Von Teese walks in on Tim’s arm
which is way more classy than this place deserves. She promises she is not
marrying Tim today. Hee. He does say that people are doing things that are
non-traditional with their weddings, so this week’s challenge is to make an “alternative”
wedding dress. Tim and Dita claim there are no rules, but I’m sure there are
magic secret rules the judges will bust out when they feel like it. Also you
have to make a “coordinating dress” for the reception. Oh, why two dresses? Because
teams of two! Heaven forbid you have multiple people work on one dress. I hate
this. Fade and Emily (they link arms and walk down the aisle which is so dumb),
Alexander and Samantha, Kini and Sean (Sean has immunity), Sandhya and Char,
and Korina and Amanda. Ha! You could have seen that coming from the first
scene. You’re both annoying and full of yourselves so you should get along
great, right?
Char and Sandhya decide Char will make the reception
dress and Sandhya will do the wedding. They seem to be doing “colorful rock
star”. In citrus. Fade and Emily discuss denim. Korina wants to do a suit for the
wedding. That’s the twist. Weren’t they BFF’s just the other day? I’m already
tired of them. Kini and Sean also have a suit. Mood is Mood.
Samantha claims Korina drags all her roommates down
as a giant plot to get them eliminated. Sandhya and Char have a very bright
yellow. They have a problem with some leather and pointy boobs. Sandhya tells
her how to fix it, but Char is blaming the leather. Kini’s pretty confident.
Korina is confident also, but when she talks about it she doesn’t mention
Amanda. Char interviews that she also thinks Amanda is fake but she already
told her. I feel like Char was up front about it but Korina was all “Let’s be
BFFs!” and then turned on her. Amanda runs to the lounge and tells Fade how
everyone hates her. Apparently she’s also upset Char said “every time you win,
you take a win away from someone else.” THAT’S HOW WINNING WORKS. How can you
be mad about that! If you win someone else does not win! I don’t get how that
is so upsetting.
Tim Time! Samantha has some red lace and then
white petals and then red feathers. The red is not working. But both dresses
are out of the same lace so they look too similar right now. Then Samantha claims
to never have been to a wedding which is just too weird. Tim is worried about
the leather in Char’s top that she was worried about before. He says it must be
“superbly executed” which is dumb. It’s one day. The yellow is so bright they’re
going to have to make it perfect. Fade and Emily have black. Tim warns them to make
sure the two dresses would be worn by the same person. Korina must get herself
into the look. I’m not sure what that means either but whatever. Amanda appears
to have ANOTHER fringe dress but she promises she’s not doing that. Tim loves
Amanda but tells Korina she is too boring. Ouch. Wait, why are we reassuring
Amanda that she is great? Am I supposed to be satisfied that Korina got in
trouble? Because I don’t like Amanda either. Kini and Sean are doing a lesbian
wedding and no one else had that idea which is weird. They’re making a tuxedo
look which seems like it will be cool.
Amanda is so pissed she says Korina can just do
whatever she wants for that look and leaves her out to dry. Model fitting. Kini
has done his usual insanely quick sewing job. Char is struggling.
Runway day. Korina is convinced if her team loses
she’ll go home because Amanda is the golden child. It’s true. Amanda complains
that she asked Korina exactly how she was annoying and Korina wouldn’t say. I am
not surprised. Char is still pretty worried. Korina is not done with anything.
Amanda offers to help her, but then when Korina takes her up on it she just
like, stands there like she doesn’t know what she needs to do. Like, “I know I offered
to help but now I will do such a bad job you’ll let me off the hook.” Then she complains
about Korina to the model, which is real professional. Kini is helping Sean
because he knows Sean can send out a topless model and still not be eliminated.
Hot makeup guy Scott. Fade has painted some of his dress but I can’t even tell
where. He’s being robbed of wins on a weekly basis, you guys. Amanda’s failure
as a person continues as she made the pants too small. The pants she offered to
make. For Korina’s model. Did she ask about what size Korina’s model was, since
she’d never worked with her? Of course not. I just cannot imagine that you
would be so careless after a surprised double elimination. But then again,
Korina has a good point that Amanda can do no wrong. With two minutes left,
this model does not have pants on. Sandhya interviews that Korina came in thinking
she was the shit and now she’s in trouble. Too bad.
Guest judges are Dita Von Teese and Chiara
Ferragni, “top style blogger”. Heidi also reminds us about the Tim Gunn Save
which suddenly makes me wonder if they eliminate Amanda and then waste the Save
on her. Ugh, I hope not. (Editing note: it goes wedding dress, then reception
dress) Kini: black dress with a knee-length pencil skirt and a tight top with a
deep V and tight elbow length sleeves. On one hip is a big ruffle. It’s cute. Very
striking, but it doesn’t say “wedding” that much. I could see it though. Sean:
tight black cropped pants and a white blouse with a deep V and kimono sleeves. The
back of the blouse drapes down like a cape. I like the pants. Alexander: long
slim red lace dress, with a high neck and no sleeves. Over the red lace is
white petals but there are a lot so the lace only shows through in small
patches on the skirt. It’s sheer in the skirt. Actually it’s not bad. Samantha:
short dress in the same red lace, but with a solid skirt. The top is sheer
except for red feathers in a bandeau top across her boobs. It works pretty well
actually. Korina: tight white satin pants and a white jacket with black trim. The
jacket isn’t that exciting, just some wide lapels and elbow length sleeves. Yawn.
Amanda: short A-line dress with a halter neck (the kind that are a collar). It’s
white with black triangles hanging down. Blah. At least it isn’t obviously
fringe.
Emily: long black gown with a black lace hood. The
skirt is black but open. Like it has cut-out circles. The bodice is solid and
the shoulders and sleeves are lace. It’s super goth which works surprisingly. Fade:
short shift dress with a V neck. It’s got horizontal stripes of solid black and
lace, but on angles so it’s more interesting. And painted somehow. Sandhya: super
yellow gown, long, with a draped skirt and a bodice with some technique she
created. It’s all woven and tied like tiny bows. I don’t mind the yellow that
much but bear in mind I have a crappy TV so it may be brighter than I think it
is. Char: short yellow dress with a handkerchief hem. Lots of pieces hanging
off it. Some of the back is really short.
Amanda and Korina are safe, because of course.
Fade and Emily say their bride was in Japan and she’s introverted. They hate
it, surprisingly. Well, they hate Emily’s. It’s too cliché. Heidi likes both of
them, but Heidi has terrible taste so who knows. I mean, she tells Fade she
wishes his dress had a lower neckline. The sleeves on Emily’s look cover her
hands which is not so great. The looks don’t go together. Kini and Sean’s girl
needs a suit so that’s why it’s similar to a suit. It’s incredible and Zac
labels them the “dream team”. The ruffle is maybe a little overpowering. Nina
sounds half asleep. But it does look like the same girl. Sean and Kini both
think Kini should win. Hee. Char says they wanted something different. There are
too many ideas and the color did not work. Dita thought there would be some
epic story about why she’s wearing yellow. The bodice of Sandhya looks nice but
then the bottom looks like crap in comparison. And Char’s handkerchief hem
looks like scraps. Zac and Heidi pretend that they have to cover their eyes
from the yellow which is just dumb. Sean and Samantha say something about
Juliet? I’m not sure. There is too much embellishment. Nina is verklempt.
Alexander’s dress looks like two dresses on top of each other, a red lace one
and a white applique one. Plus the skirt has a huge obvious horizontal theme. Too
80’s. So I guess there were three bottom teams and one top team.
Poor Char is upset in the Scrap Bin. I’m worried
about her. Her skirt is terrible. It’s not sewn well and it looks like it didn’t
fit so she put some more fabric over the top of it. Nina wonders what she spent
her time doing. Sandhya’s skirt is…I can’t even tell. Like she made a slim long
skirt but jacked up the seams so badly there’s a giant fin on one side. Then draping
over that. They do like Fade’s dress. Emily’s dress, though, is a parody and they
don’t like it as much. Samantha’s hem has a weird dark band. They argue over if
her dress is worse than Alexander’s. The lace is nice but the weird petals hide
it. They like Sean’s top, but Kini claimed earlier he made the top so I’m not
sure. They do like Kini’s dress though.
Sean wins again. Kini fake smiles and is in.
Stupid. Emily and Fade are in. Alexander and Samantha are in. Char is out.
Stupid. Sandhya is in. She is upset and I think she could have stayed and you
could get rid of Amanda. Tim gets choked up and then says “if this were several
challenges from now I would save you in a heartbeat.” Why don’t you save her
now? What? How does that make sense? Stupid.
Next week: a repeat of that challenge where
everyone got borrowed jewelry and had to make something and everyone made black
dresses. Boring. Tim says something weighs heavily on him so maybe Char is
back? Some weird clothes on the runway.
