Project Runway: Season...who cares

[Lisa]

Damn, Matt, I just cried like a bitch! That episode was a heartbreaker!

[Matt]

Mondo's got this season in the bag. He's so much better than anyone else there that it's not even funny.

[Lisa]

A really, REALLY nice recap of Mondo's win on the Project Rungay blog:

Very thoughtful, to my way of thinking.

[Matt]

Lisa, what did you think of Thursday's episode? I tell ya, that Ivy is pretty much the world's biggest cunt right now. I LOVED how Tim came in and shut down ALL OF THAT CHEATING TALK NOW. STOP. THE JUDGES DIDN'T SEE IT, THE CAMERAS DIDN'T SEE IT, AND THERE'S NO EVIDENCE. LET IT GO.

I know this: if I was a top designer looking to recruit talent from this year's pool, I'd call of Ivy right away and assure her that she shouldn't even submit a resume.

[Lisa]

Pretty much what you said Matt, yeah. And I know some women who get upset at that, "Oh, I can't stand when women call other women 'cunt'." But I'm sorry, sometimes there are instances where it's warranted. She totally set Michael C. up for that. She asked him in a sweet friendly tone how it felt to be in the top six, and when he answered, she said that he only got there by cheating - the bitch set him UP. Which, look, if he'd cheated - as Tim Gunn pointed out - they'd know it. This show LOOOOVES drama like that, so they'd have been all over it. I'm not sure what he called her that they bleeped out, but I would have loved to have punched her fucking lights out over her, "Oh, my goodness! Such foul language! Which also means you're a bad person and a bad father, and a cheater, and you sabotage others...." Douche. Then she goes around the workroom bragging about how she pissed him off.

I also loved how when he tried holding her fucking feet to the fire, "How did I cheat? Give me examples. How did I sabotage? WHO did I sabotage?", she did the old, "Oh, I don't want to talk about it anymore" - TWICE, because she had no proof. And when Tim asked about the accusations of cheating, that fucking bitch said NOTHING since she had nothing to back it up. It was fine for her to humiliate him in the workroom, but when TIM wanted an explanation, she was strangely silent. So yeah, sorry - "cunt" is the best word to describe her. I hope anyone ever considering her for a job doesn't even grant her an interview. I hope that she winds up flipping burgers for the rest of her life.

I mean, look, I know that plenty of reality TV contestants are reprehensible people, but in 10 years of watching reality TV, I can honestly say that she's probably in the top five worst. And when it comes to shows like "Project Runway", "Top Chef", "America's Next Top Model", those shows are different than other reality TV shows because they show you at your craft. They show how talented you are and how you interact with others. Shows like that are basically season-long job interviews. If she thinks she's hireable after that, she's sadly mistaken.

[Lisa]

We're getting down to the wire here, Matt! I'm sure Mondo's going to win this whole thing, and deservedly so. But after last week, and given the horrific behavior of the other designers, don't you just want to see Michael Costello win just to watch their heads explode? In eight seasons of watching this show, I've never wanted a designer to win just out of sheer spite before.

[Matt]

I don't know if I want him to WIN, but yeah...I'd love to see him make it to fashion week just to see the reactions from Ivy and Gretchen.

Also, what's his story? He's got a son yet he's reportedly GAY. How did that happen?

[Lisa]

I don't know if I want him to WIN, but yeah...I'd love to see him make it to fashion week just to see the reactions from Ivy and Gretchen.

Oh, I want him to WIN. Even at poor Mondo's expense. Because if he just makes it to fashion week but doesn't win, fucking Ivy and Gretchen will still be all, "Well, we KNEW he wouldn't win! He doesn't deserve it. He's not good enough. He's a horrible person, a bad father, he can't sew, etc. The universe knows this, which is why he didn't win." I don't even want them to have that little bit of satisfaction. I don't care if it's the most undeserving win in Project Runway history - and it would be. But it would be so fucking satisfying!

I mean, let's look at last week's challenge. The elimimated designers came back to help, and Ivy was so heinous, so evil, such a fucking bitch with the way she went after Michael C. that she took away any screen time and any enjoyment we had from getting to see Peach and Casanova again. For that, she must suffer!

Also, what's his story? He's got a son yet he's reportedly GAY. How did that happen?

Okay, this is the interwebz, so I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but please tell me you're being sarcastic, being sarcastic is what you are doing, sarcasm = Matt. Either that, or you saw my post about the Project Runway forums at TWoP in the Gay thread.

[Matt]

sorry...wasn't being sarcastic. I must have missed reading that post....sorry

[Matt]

I must have pissed you off, Lisa. Sorry

[Lisa]

Nooo, no no, you didn't piss me off. But, dude, you know gay people can still have kids, amiright? The equipment still works in order to procreate - it doesn't get shut off when the person realizes they're gay.

[Matt]

ha, I get that. I was just curious as to what his circumstances were. Did he have a BIRDCAGE moment and have a Robin Williams-type straight fling or what?

[Lisa]

Now that, I dunno! He might have. The mother of the kid might have paid $20 to the doorman to let her into his room. $20 in those days!

Or some folks just decide that they'd like to have a kid and go "other routes", if ya get me. Artificial insemination (for the ladies, of course), a one-timer with a close friend of the opposite sex whom they trust. There are methods, Grasshopper, oh yes there are.

[V]

$20 in those days!

Rep her... now.

[Lisa]

Oh, man... that was GOLDEN! Matt, I'm one step closer to realizing my evil dream! One more of the Mean Girls clique is DOWN, and the judges LOVED Michael C's dress! Muahahaaaaaaa!!!!
