Oh man, I can actually admit I was pretty sure that this was Jillian’s last week with the good contestants of PROJECT RUNWAY.  Here is this weeks mega catch, Tim wakes everyone up at 6am and takes the designers to the Hershey’s store in Time Square.  Once in the store he announces that the designers have exactly FIVE minutes to gather up as much crap as they can to design into an outfit and then they will have all day and only that one-day to construct their candy themed outfit.  Everyone but Jillian decides to use fabric from plush candy toys.  Jillian decides to use Twizzlers™ and she does not anticipate the fact that working with food is an unnecessary headache.  She barely finishes her outfit and the fact that it does not fall apart on the runway is some sort of miracle. 

The other two tragic outfits belong to Sweet P and Elisa.  Sweet P does her usual song and dance and keeps changing her design until it is some sort of lackluster hybrid of what she started with.  I am pretty sure a blind child could have come up with something better.  I am not even kidding.  Elisa has a huge miss with an ugly chocolate brown dress that has a bunch of ruffles on the chest area that actually look like a candy acid flashback mess.  Anyways, on with the reviews of all the ins and outs of the designers creations.



Ricky:  This is the first week he didn’t end up as some sort of tragic highlight.  His dress is cute, functional and fun.  The bodice fits perfectly and the playful silver material goes well with the Hershey themed balloon skirt.  This week Ricky’s safe.
Chris:  He decides to take the judges warnings from weeks past to heart and keeps with a more conservative design than he is capable of doing.  On the runway he admits he could have made a gay pride parade float dress, but chose to be a bit more functional.  His loose Hershey’s bodice matches perfectly with the tight, short chocolate colored miniskirt. 
Kit:  She comes up with a rock-n-roll version of candy pleasure.  It isn’t the best, but it isn’t the worst either.  She comes up with a KitKat tube top and a flowy Hershey’s skirt.  I will admit if I ever run into someone wearing this outfit I promise to point and laugh.
Elisa:  One word for you:  TRAGEDY.  I am not even sure what she was thinking, but home girl needs to lay off the drugs.  I have seen better constructed dresses at Forever21.  At some point Christian says her silver armbands look like swimming floaties and I am not sure if I want to laugh or cry for Elisa.  I am not even kidding.
Kevin:  If forced to put money on one designer to take it to the end, Kevin is my number one choice.  I just love him even if he is harrier than Robin Williams and sort of cross-eyed.  His chocolate colored outfit is chic and functional and I want it.  I WANT IT NOW.
Christian:  He’s the sort of gay that needs to be knocked down a peg or two only because he’s absolutely wonderful at what he does, but it gets to his head and annoys the hell out of me.  His dress is cute as hell though and he’s obviously going to be safe.  It’s a chocolate colored halter type dress that is covered with wrappers from Reeces Peanut Butter Cups.
Sweet P:  Consider yourself lucky to be on this show Sweet P.  So far she’s constructed outfits that are boring and lack luster.  This week is no exception.  She tears apart her design and comes up with a super boring silver bodice and a flowing skirt made out of Hershey Kisses flags.  LAME.
Rami:  By and far the most exceptional outfit of the bunch.  It is mod and space age.  When I see it I feel like I need to take a soma and pretend I am in the future.  If you get that reference you are absolutely literate.  The fit and look are fun and chic—Rami is probably going to win.
Victorya:  I hate her and her attitude.  I also hate her stupid silver York Peppermint Patty French Maid dress.  When she gives lip to the judges I secretly pray they kick her off just for that—too bad they wont.
Jillian:  She’s the only contestant to use candy in her design and probably that should have made her a shoe-in for the win, except for the small fact that Rami is kicking ass and taking names and it’s hard to compete with that sort of awesome, even when you construct a corset out of Twizzlers.

The best are Rami, Jillian and Chris.  The worst are Elisa, Sweet P and Victorya as I already expect.  Rami wins and you can see a look of disgust on Jillian’s face—that bitch wants to win badly.  Victorya gets the immediate save and it’s down to Elisa and Sweet P.  Girlfriends are sweating.  Both know they suck equally so it comes down to who the judges believe deserves it more—too bad no one loves a space cadet more than a flake.  Elisa gets sent home.  She tries not to cry and it is sort of pathetic.  I keep waiting for her to start talking like Nell, but she never does.  Oh well, maybe some other day I can get finally get a wish.
