Project Runway: mini-cap
Lots of good moments on last night's episode. But because recapping would take too long, I'll just point to some show highlights. :)

Last week, Robio was out, and Wendyroach survived (again!)

This week the challenge is to design a Grammy gown for Nancy O'Dell, the trashy host of Access Hollywood. Nancy walks in, all fake boobages and three inches of pancake makeup and tells the gang what she likes/doesn't like. Austin is excited because ball gowns are his "spec-i-a-li-teee". (And he says it like this through the entire episode. This gets more annoying than those ludicrous Banana Republic ads.)

Highlight 1: Tim brings in a "surprise", some "technical assistance", and out jumps... Robio! Everyone looks disappointed but put on their fake smiles anyway. Cut to Jay in interview saying "I thought it was going to be some woman who speaks Korean and has like, 18 fingers ready to jump on a sewing machine, but instead it was Rob." Cut to poor, clueless Robio in interview saying, "They were looking at me like I was a goldmine! They were so happy to see me!" Oh, poor vacant Robio! In the end, Robio is NO help. All he ends up doing is laying around the Tim-lab taking naps and drinking beer.

Highlight 2: During the dressmaking, Tim comes with another "surprise": "You're all going on a field trip to Michael Kors' studio!" Everyone is "Yay!" and cruel Tim says "Except you Rob. You're staying here in the studio." Rob puts arms down and looks crestfallen. Oh Tim!

Highlight 3: At the runway show, everyone's dresses look tattered and crazed. Michael Kors dials it up. He calls Wendy's "too Garanimals" "too matchy-matchy, it looks like she'll go and get her shoes dyed to match." Ouch! He says to Austin, "It's too student fashion show, wind blowing, model leaning against the wall." Ouch! He says to Karasan (Karasan of all people!) that hers looks like "a bat mitzvah dress that's been tattered and now she's wearing pants under it." Michael Kors, you're on fire!

Highlight 4: Nancy O'Crazy selects Wendy's dress! And Michael Kors reaction shot is priceless, like a "Oh no she didn't" crazy eyed look. Granted, Austin's did look like a big purple wedding cake. Austin gets eliminated and Jay, in interview, says "I felt grossed out when I saw Wendy come to the back." and "During the runway show, I was thinking, 'couldn't she have at least put on lipstick for the final challenge? I haaaaate Wendy." Thankfully, Austin, when eliminated, did not cry like a baby.

So Wendy, Kara Saun and Jay are off to Fashion Week!

So long Yves, whoops I mean Austin
