Project Runway 5 - Episode 2

Let’s recap.

The designers wake up.  Before spending an hour in the bathroom to make it look like they just woke up, they have breakfast and chit chat.

“Hold on.  You mean to say you have a health drink every morning?  You?  Have a health drink???”

“I know, right!?!”

Heidi calls the designers to the runway to pick models and find out about their next challenge.

“Do you see how fabulous I am?  And I have three children.  Life is not fair, designers.”

Kenley is smart and chooses Shannone as her model again.

Shannone is freaking gorgeous.

Jerrell is SALTY because someone else stole his model.  SALTY!

Daniel is terrified.

Blayne is tan.

Licious.

Tim summons the designers to gather round.  He announces the challenge - using “green” fabrics to design a cocktail dress for the model.  Only, here’s the catch...the models will do the shopping!

Everyone’s all, “YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!”

Except Daniel.

He’s all, “Shit.”

A familiar look of terror creeps across his face.

He mumbles to himself.  Probably something about how scared he is.

Stella bitches about the fact that the model, someone who probably knows nothing about fabrics, is out doing the shopping for her dress.  Isn’t this the same woman who chose garbage bags last week?

Jerrell warns his model not to come back with “remnants of nonsense,” officially giving me my new favorite catchphrase.  I can’t wait to use that one in a meeting.

The models leave and everyone gets to work.

Except Daniel, who stands in a corner, staring at his fabric and looking scared.

Leanne...talks...really...slowly...about...Suede...talking...in...the...third...person…

Whoa.

Tim makes the rounds, stopping at Korto’s station to evaluate her dress.  She tells him the darts are supposed to be on the outside.

He doesn’t get it.

Then he gets it.

But really, he doesn’t get it.

He tells her to make it work and moves on to Suede’s dress.

Now I don’t get it.

Tim looks like he doesn’t get it.

But he tells Suede he’s excited about this look.

You don’t look very convincing, Tim.

In fact, you look like the producers made you say it and you’re having issues reconciling that.  It’s ok, Tim.  We still love you.

Kenley looks fabulous as she wonders who the young Hollywood judge will be.  (It’s Natalie Portman, plugging her vegan shoe line.)

Everyone goes home for the night.  The next morning, the designers have little time to finish their cocktail dresses, and everyone is worried.

The editors know Wesley’s going home, so they give the audience a shirtless ironing shot to remember him by.  Thanks, editors!

OMG.  Keith makes Daniel’s bed for him.  OMG.  Daniel is Keith’s little buddy!  OMG.  Daniel is a tender little mess.  Daniel FTW!

Daniel is nervous in the bathroom. 

No wonder.

Tim gives the designers a final pep talk, complete with little air punches.  Air punches FTW!

Tim scares the shit out of Daniel in the sewing room, telling him he has only five minutes left to finish.

Daniel finishes sewing, very very scared.

There is a runway show. 

BRAVO cannot count.

Wesley Short Pants is eliminated for his ill-fitting dress.

Suede wins the challenge and does finger guns.  More annoying than talking in the third person?  Fucking finger guns.
