Project Runway - Recycle the Saturn

Another week; another innovation challenge. We left the designers last week rejoicing in their Drag Queen masterpieces except for Daniel (who went home) and Keith (who apparently has lost his confidence and his manners). It's a whole new day and the designers meet Tim on the top of a parking garage staring at a bunch of Saturn cars. This week an outfit must be created using parts of a car.

The whole idea is "whackadoodle" as Suede would say (and does say numerous times during the episode). Most of the designers go for seatbelts and seat covers while others try to use the rubber floor mats. Back to the workroom and the designers get to work. Keith is in a serious funk and we all know that this means he is going home. He wants to "change the way the world dresses" (so that we all look like birds) so he is "presenting the judges with a more refined look". Yep that is the kiss of death. Plus his outfit looks like a trashy skirt and a rag top that does not fit well (think Forever 21 for $5.99).


Suede apparently gets another vision from another dead family member (his father) and blows kisses to the air while saying "I love you Dad". How is he so sure that all of his family has gone "up there"? Both times he has been visited by his expired family he looks to the sky; does he know for sure that is where they went? If they are speaking to him from beyond can Grandpa or Dad (whichever one can get through) tell Suede to stop talking in third person altogether. It was annoying when he did it all the time and now it is just stupid because its every now and then.

Anyway, back to the workroom and the challenge. The day of the runway show dawns and Keith yells at his model for sitting down and splitting his trashy skirt. If you can't sit down in the skirt, might there be a slight issue? The guest judges this week are Laura Bennett from Season 3 (no Nina this week) and Rachel Zoe (who always looks like she just came from the beach).


Leanne, Jerrell and Korto are the favorites (and rightly so for once). It comes down to Korto and Leanne with Leanne winning for he fabulous leather dress with the seatbelt fringe (it looks so much cooler than it sounds I promise).


Now for the bottom; Blayne is safe (again) even though his dress gaps so much at the boobs that we almost got a little peep show, and Stella is safe even though she tries something pretty (for once) and it does not (does not!) work. This means that Keith (shock) is going home.


Now I have liked and hated Keith based on his moods every episode (the last few I've hated because he has been so cocky) but it was very heart wrenching when he said that he is "going home for presenting something that was not me." Now I am not sad to never see another chicken again; I am just sad because he was trying to please Michael and Nina and it did not work. Bless his heart and maybe Utah will become a hotbed of fashion activity. You never know.

Next week the always glamorous Diane von Furstenberg. Very cool! Later taters!
