Tonight's episode of Bravo's Project Runway will result in the *gasp* final three designers who get to show their collection at New York's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Bryant Park. Except, well, as we already know, all five designers actually got to "show" at The Tents. Yeah, yeah, this is a tactic the producers use to maintain secrecy around the final three but by allowing the five designers to show, they've only managed to cheapen one of the show's high-points.
OK, so the show has been going down a "cheap," or rather tacky, path this entire season (prom dresses, ick; WWE Divas, double ick.) Yeah, even though Tim Gunn proclaimed that this was the most talented cast to date, it was also the most boring. Honestly, I cannot remember the names of half of the cast. So, Carmen Webber (Carmen like the opera, Webber like the baller) is still ingrained in my mind (damn you, you giant tranny!) but most everyone else who got auf'd in the beginning of the season never seemed to register in my brain.
And you could just see the producers of the show trying so hard to stir up some drama with their incessant "group" challenges. You would think there would be an all out war at least once! But no.
Now, the boys over at Project Rungay theorize that it may be because most of the designers were pretty established in the industry already. They had reputations to protect and nobody wants to be remembered as the villain of the show. Yeah, that makes some sense, but honestly, I rather see raw-talent and quick-tongues than watch demure kittens playing with yarn. It's boring, and it's reality-show suicide.
