Season 4, Episode 12

Well, the challenges are over and this week’s project runway was the reunion episode, when all the losers come back and share couch space with our four finalists: Christian Siriano, Jillian Lewis, Rami Kashou and Chris Marsh. The contestants dish about the season past and what to expect for the finale.

Too bad, for the most part, it was a snoozefest. Heidi Klum (with her fierce bangs) and Tim Gunn kick off the show by commenting that the designers look “much more relaxed” than they did during filming. Um, no duh Heidi. After some general catching up with the designers, we get into the first of many mildly funny montages—one I like to call, “Kevin is Not Gay.” To his credit, Kevin seems totally cool with people assuming he is gay and takes the jabs in stride.

Other montages include “Elisa Jimenez is F*cking Crazy,” “Chris Marsh Laughs Like a Hyena,” and “Christian Siriano OD’s on the Word ‘Fierce’.”

And, my personal favorite, “Ricky Elizalde Cries Like a Girl.” Unlike Kevin, Ricky did not take this little joke well. There was eye-rolling, huffing, but—shockingly—no crying. After America had a great laugh watching clips of him cry like Scarlett O’Hara on a bad hair day, Ricky told the judges that the show was a “very emotional experience” for him. Again, no duh.

Let me just say, Christian is by far my favorite contestant on the show. Even when he’s being catty and egotistical, it’s endearing. The look of genuine surprise and glee on his face when Heidi told him he won the “fan favorite” contest actually made me go, ‘aww.’ It does seem a little unfair, though, since he is totally gonna win the competition. Sorry, Jillian and Rami/Chris.

Other highlights from the show:

Carmen (remember her, the girl with chopsticks sticking out of her bun?) sassing Heidi when she reminds the world about her pathetic shirtless menswear design. WTF were you thinking, Carmen? You don’t sass Heidi Klum. Ever.

The clip of Michael Kors laughing uncontrollably—and like a little girl—all throughout the judging of the WWE Divas challenge.

Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum chatting about how “uptight” Victorya is—as she sits watching them from ten feet away.

The season finale is almost upon us, and we’ll find out who made it to Fashion Week, and who is out. I, for one, can’t wait.

Owf Weederzane.
