Now that we've all tried the reality TV play-along-at-home game sensation, Guess the Token Project Runway Straight Male, we thought we'd up the difficulty level with an add-on module: Now Guess Which One Allegedly Claimed He Was Voted Off for Being an HIV-Positive Bio-hazard? Gatecrasher reports:

According to a source who spoke with [contestant Jack Mackenroth,] "He is saying he got kicked off not because he lost a challenge, but because he got a 'staph' infection and said his face blew up like the kid from 'Mask.'"

Staphylococcal skin infections can be especially serious for HIV-positive people. Some are also potentially infectious to others.

"He says he was the fifth designer voted off," says the snitch. "He is claiming that this was at least part of the reason he was booted." [...]

"People will say things about me whether they know me or not," he said in a statement released through Bravo's PR. "Those were not my words and are fictitious."

It's no secret that Bravo executives look severely upon any breaching of contestants' iron-clad contracts: Who could forget the suspicious fate of notorious book-smuggler-gone-AWOL Keith Michael, whose abrupt departure from the series was glossed over in a voice over from Tim Gunn, explaining how he had "tragically taken his own life by plunging off the roof of the Atlas Apartments, leaving no note behind. Keith, it seems, simply failed to make it work." We suspect the truth in this matter will emerge eventually, however, when Heidi Klum's familiar kiss-off phrase is muffled by a SARS mask, and Michael Kors, Nina Garcia, and Vera Wang sit in the background, nodding their heads approvingly inside matching hazmat suits.
