A Brief Project Runway Rant

I just finished watching last night’s episode, the third of the season, and have a question:

Have the judges started smoking crack off camera? Because that’s the only way I can make sense of this weeks judges’ table.

I love Kenley. I love her designs, her whole 40’s aesthetic. She’s adorable. And she got robbed last week, when she should have trounced Suede with her gorgeous gold cocktail dress. But Kenley's week three dress was awful.

How did this:

Win over this:

How? That little black dress is perfect! So how did the 80’s-era remake -- that the judge's even joked looked like it was hiding a goiter! -- possibly win? Hello? Nina? Michael?

And while you’re explaining Kenley’s win, please also tell me how Emily’s dress get her eliminated when compared with these:

I understand they want to keep Blayne, Suede and Stella around just to annoy me, because that’s what reality show producers do: they weed out the boring people in favor of the crazy. It makes better drama.

(In our house, we pronounce this draaaaaaaaaa-ma in a Brooklyn accent.)

But why knock off Emily, in favor of the vanilla twins, Keith and Jennifer?

Madness.
