Project Runway 2 Catch-Up

Project Runway, the best show on television (when Laguna Beach is not) is back for its 2nd season. We at BlogNAC have decided to cover the 14 episode gay-designer-emaciated-model-filled reality show with the same fervor with which we covered our Orange-County-teenage-future-B-list-celebrities. Basically, the show is great and I highly encourage everyone (meaning the three or four people that read this blog) to watch it every Wednesday at 10/9c.

In order to catch everyone up on what has happened in the first four episodes I will give a brief overview.

Episode 1:
The first episode saw the dismissal of two of the designers, John and Heidi. John Wade, whose unbelievably short tie was grounds for dismissal before the design phase even began, produced some unbelievably bland tie-dyed crap. Heidi, who hails from small-town 'Bama, was out of her league in the big-city fashion world. I don't exactly remember her design and I guess that is why she is no longer on the show.

Episode 2:
The second episode may end up being the best episode of the season, so if you have the opportunity to watch a marathon on some Saturday or Sunday watch out for this one. The episode was particularly memorable because it included Andrae's ridiculous runway breakdown [video- you must watch!] and Zulema's way-too-short dress which revealed a lot of model ass. Episode 2, the "Clothes Off Your Back" episode, also saw the exit of Kristen who refused to use her stupid grandmother's stupid scarf in her awful outfit and was summarily dismissed by the panel of judges. "Auf Wiedersehen."

Episode 3:
The purpose of this episode's challenge was to design an outfit for a "fasion icon." That icon ended up being Barbie. The episode pretty much sucked. What sucked even more though was Raymundo's design for Barbie, which was lambasted by the judges and compared to "poor appalachian li'l abner" whatever that means.

Episode 4:
This episode was a group lingerie project. It was pretty good. Daniel Franco, a hold over from the first season of PR, was dismissed because his designs were relatively boring. Santino, the favorite up until this point, was also on the chopping block after producing a line of lingerie inspired by lederhosen. Needless to say it was hideous.
