Daily Loaf

It’s getting down to the wire now, with six designers left to duke it out for a spot at Bryant Park. They started the episode by facing away from the runway to get their challenge info, which kinda sorta makes them all look like they are in time out and Heidi is their disappointed teacher. But it’s all clear when their “winning looks” are on stage and they have to make a companion piece, another riveting challenge (insert sarcastic eyeroll here). Wait, most of their “winning looks.” Logan just has a random look up there, because he has never won a challenge, but when you look that good in real life, you don’t need to actually win a challenge, you just need to be there and smile pretty. He clearly lives in “the bubble” but I think the girls out there will agree when I say he can live in my bubble any day (Heyyo, see what I did there. Ok, I don’t totally get it either but shhhhh, its been a long week.)

Gordana…yikes.

The workroom is a little dullish but we do get a random backstory on Gordana, complete with stock photos of some kids in a third world country. Twenty bucks says that isn’t even her and another twenty says she is getting auf’ed. We also learn that Gordana is only 44. WOW, she needs to get some Oil of Olay in the worst way possible.

Meana Irina

Generally, I like to see the designers making nice but I am uncomfortable with the Althea-Irina friendship, joining forces in hating Logan for stealing a collar idea from Althea. I have thoughts on this,. The first one is that it was an ugly collar the first time, it is still pretty ugly, Althea needs to calm it down and keep inhaling those In-N-Out fries. Second, I would really like some of those In-N-Out fries. That’s it.

We did learn that the other designers have a little nickname for the resident beotch, Meana Irina. Living up to her name, it only took her about four and half seconds to back out of her alliance with Althea, accusing that little blonde bombshell of stealing the sweater idea. Irina is a one woman drama machine…I kinda never want her to leave, what would I write about?!

Okay, okay, I know that we are all on pins and needles so let’s do this. On to the runway and I am hoping for a cat fight, I saw it in the previews…don’t tease me Lifetime!

I love it when one of the judges is some guy who DIDN’T win Project Runway… way to bring out the best of the best. Also, did you notice that Heidi is rocking space shorts? I am pretty sure those are made of the same material they used when they repaired the international space station last year, so that’s cool I guess or whatever.

Everyone gets a chance to see the judges tonight as we are down to only six designers and here are the worst three (all pictured below):

Gordana brings us an epic fail from the 80’s. The jacket doesn’t fit at all and the skirt has no tie-in to the jacket whatsoever and finally will someone, for the love of all things good and holy, buy that woman a hairbrush and some volumizing mousse!? For serious, she needs to take a trip to the beauty department, stat.

Logan also took a trip to another decade, I feel a 90’s wetsuit inspiration. Though, I guess you can’t really dive with all those zippers, too much rusting and subsequent tetanus risk involved and even though they are telling the designers to take risks, I don’t think that is what the judges mean.
Chris‘ gown is interesting at first but the more I look at it, the more I dislike it. I feel like if that white wasn’t there and it ended at the petals, it would be really adorable and elegant.

Gordana, Logan and Chris' looks

The ladies continue to represent with the highest scores once again (all pictured below).

Irina’s look, I don’t love it but to be honest I am not what one would call “chic.” Put fur on anything and I am pretty much done with it. Plus I reeeeeally cant get over how much of a meanypants she is.

Carol Hannah is again my favorite, love love love it! A dress with pockets, that is why women are better designers, what I wouldn’t give to have a place to stash my lipgloss when I go to all those fancy events, or I would imagine that would be convenient if I ever went to a fancy event.

I like Althea’s look except for that tank. I am certain I owned that and it was two for $10 at Wet Seal back in 1998. Ew. Sidenote: Her model needs to purchase a bra. In 10 years, those girls are not going to thank her for letting them bounce around haphazardly on the runway.

Irina, Carol Hannah and Althea's looks

We only got a little drama and it was actually instigated by Heidi, of all people. She may have brought up the similar sweaters but Irina is calling people out like it’s nobody’s biznass over idea stealing. Meana Irina strikes again.

Our winner is Althea, she is no copycat and despite that tacky tank, they are loving the pants. I am just loving that Irina didn’t win.

The bottom two, Logan and Gordana, a battle of beauty and the beast, if you will.

H-O-L-Y C-R-A-P. The beast won?! Is this some sort of social lesson? Are we trying to teach the children that looks don’t get you places? This is America, land of the free, home of the brave, a country where talentless pretty people succeed every single freaking day. *Sigh* We never even got to see a little Carol Hannah-Logan lovin’… this is a tragedy.

Oh, yeah, but be sure to tune in next week when Irina calls Althea a big giant monkey. Fabulous.
