Willkommen, netzvolk! Guten abend! I'm Hippity Klum, your host for another fun-filled hour in which Gawker commenters live-blog TV's fiercest reality show. And as your host, I hereby make this solemn pledge: I will never bail on you with some lame excuse. I say this because J. Lo did that instead of guest-judging Project Runway's final competition in New York last Friday (an event we won't see until the last episode airs on October 15). But no "foot injury" would cause me to miss this little Wednesday-night party of ours! In fact, nothing would. (Unless, of course, a Gawker commenter meet-up were scheduled at the same time. But what are the odds of that happening?) Anyway, on to my highlights from last week, and a few "thing to watch for" tonight:

  • In last week's challenge - to make an avant-garde look based on a zodiac sign - nobody chose Virgo the Virgin, much to my disappointment. Just think: What if someone designed an avant-garde chastity belt? How cool would that be?
  • Kenley chose, bizarrely, to argue with Heidi Klum about where women's boobs are - a subject on which Heidi, a long-time Victoria's Secret model, is arguably something of an authority.
  • The dual-elimination victims were Blayne, whose design was breathtakingly awful (and whose ouster, as commenter ChuffedLittleMuffin put it, was "sweet relief, like getting that piece of corn out of your teeth after six hours"), and the much-more-talented Terri, after she and design partner Keith spent most of the episode imitating Bitchy and Mopey, Snow White's long-lost dwarves.
  • When Jerell said he could "pull avant-garde out of (his) ass," I laughed - but he got the last laugh by doing just that, and winning. Which led me to wonder: What other talents does Jerell have hidden up his ass? Can he pull prêt-à-porter out of there? Or haute couture? And does he have to put these things into his ass before he pulls them out, or was he just born with them in there?
  • Tonight, watch for designers to become flummoxed by having to (gasp) design for regular, real-life women! As past seasons have shown, this is apparently an outrageously difficult thing to ask an aspiring fashion designer to do - akin to asking an artist to paint on tree bark instead of canvas.
  • Tonight's preview suggests that Kenley will ignore Tim's advice again - which either spells genuine trouble for the Hormonal Bettie Paige, or is just the latest in a long series of preview-editing parlor tricks.

And who knows what else may happen tonight, Netzvolk? Achtung! The cabaret is about to begin! (P.S.: We miss you again Jerilyn - make a new identity and rejoin us soon!)
