Live Blogging Project Runway, Week 9
Hey, everyone! It's Gawker-commenter-live-blog-party time, so turn on Project Runway and join us in the comments under this post! Let's make like Anthony's pastor and start burning down the house!
I meant that as a metaphor for "have fun," but Anthony's pastor, you'll recall, actually burned his house down. Or so Anthony told us, in one of the latest of what will probably be many entertaining comments we'll hear from him if he hangs around long enough. Let's hope he doesn't go anywhere soon.
And I hope you don't go anywhere soon, because I'm sure you'll also have many entertaining comments to share too once the show starts tonight (on Lifetime, at 10 Eastern). At least, I know you all did during last week's live blog: For a sampling of my favorite comments from that one, click here. Here are some other highlights from last week:
- Several of us noticed that Seth Aaron's bald spot is on the side of his head, rather than the back. I think he has what's known as "douche-pattern baldness."
- When Mila described her outfit was "a little '80s Blade Runner," commenter otterbird rejoined: "Good for her — her look has advanced a whole 20 years! Only 25 left to go!"
- We were puzzled by Michael Kors' "pale understands pale" comment after the Irish clothes-hanger spoke. Perhaps it was some kind of inside joke understood only by people of the orange-skinned race?
- Commenter mallorykeaton swore she would "wear Emilio's bikini with lucite heels to work tomorrow if Jonathan doesn't go home!" Then Ben went home. So I'm guessing that many of the guys at mallory's office didn't get much work done last Friday.
We also voted on the best hardware joke from the week prior. I've counted the ballots, and the winner is …. (drum roll) … Old Ocho, with "Project Runway has reached a new Lowe's." So congrats to O.O.! But I want everyone to know that all your hardware jokes were personal highlights for me. And speaking of highlights: I've watched a few from tonight's episode, and suggest we look for the following as we live blog tonight.
- It's team challenge time! Here's how Jay and Mila will describe getting paired up together: Mila: "Great! The guy that I never talk to and don't really like." Jay: "My God, I'm stuck with Mila!" Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Dream Team!
- The guest judge is Molly Sims, who is probably best known for starring in the music video "Jizz In My Pants" as well as several jizz-inducing "swimsuit issues" of Sports Illustrated. I guess you could say she's in the jizz biz.
- Kors is will be AWOL from the judging panel tonight — something that hasn't happened since last season. Please, God, let this be the last thing about this season that ever reminds us of last season!
OK folks, it's nearly 10 pm, so we'll soon be (as Tim said last week) "in the middle of a make-it-work moment." Which is good, because my TV remote doesn't work, so I need to take a moment to fetch some new batteries and make it work again. Meet you down in the comments!
