Project Runway: And the three finalists are(spoilers)

*This entire post is a SPOILER if you didn’t watch last night’s Project Runway*

I was literally shouting at the television last night. What the f-ck happened to my once-awesome Project Runway? I’m so, so, SO disappointed. Let me recap: last week, the judges decided that Seth Aaron and Emilio would be going to fashion week, and that Mila and Jay would have to compete against each other in a little mini-runway show, after they had prepared their whole 12-look collections. Mila and Jay did their collections, and selected their three strongest looks for the runway. And that’s when everything went off the f-cking rails.

Mila’s looks were so dated, so ugly, so retro-without-a-wink, so unstylish, I thought, “Well, all Jay has to do is not vomit on his pieces, and he’ll win.” And then Jay’s three looks came out, and they were fabulous. They were well made, they were beautiful, they made the models look gorgeous, they were unique, and most of all, they were modern and “editorial” – a favorite adjective of the judges. To see the two designers’ three looks, go here.

So the judge deliberated and I realized, with growing horror, that Heidi actually loved Mila’s trashy, retro, uninspired looks. And that Nina Garcia was on the fence! Michael Kors was the only one who was like, “No, Jay is the clear winner.” And then Heidi talked Nina into voting for Mila! UUGGGHHH.

So Mila gets to go to fashion week. Are you f-cking kidding me?!?!?!? A parade of f-cking black and white retro clothes, uninspired and dull. This one incident has me convinced that there are some serious shenanigans going on with Project Runway. I’m not saying the whole thing is fixed, but that certain people get promoted and get to stay, just because they make for better television. They did that on season 4 too, with that horrible, weepy bastard Ricky, who couldn’t design his way out of a paper bag, but made for “good television”. I think that’s happening again – someone didn’t like the idea of three male designers competing against each other, and made sure that Mila got ahead. Plus, Mila makes for “good television” because she’s such a pissy brat who doesn’t deserve to be there – her color-blocking ass should have gotten thrown out several episodes ago, when she made that f-cking beige teepee dress.

As far as the competition between Emilio and Seth Aaron, and who I want to win (because Mila won’t even be in the running, in my opinion), my money is still on Seth Aaron. He’s the stronger designer, and I just like him more. Emilio’s attitude is starting to piss me off, and from what I could see of his collection, it didn’t look all that groundbreaking.
