Project Runway Spares Ricky Again, As Jillian Steps Up Her Game and Chris Gets Auf'ed

No one ever said Project Runway was fair.

Despite the fact that he has yet to produce an aesthetically appealing, well executed design, Ricky was spared yet again last night on the design show, as lovable Chris was sent packin'. What in the name of Heidi is going on here?

Yes, Chris' shoulder padded jacket was a true travesty. But Ricky's wasn't much better, and, as Nina Garcia (god I love that beeyatch) pointed out, after last week's suit debacle, shouldn't he have made sure he sent a goodlooking piece down the runway? Apparently not.

As for the bickering going on between Ricky and Victorya, I couldn't quite tell who was in the right and who was in the wrong -- until I saw the finished pieces, that is. Victorya's outfit, and even Elisa's, were head-and-shoulders better than Ricky's monstrosity. And yet -- he's still around. What gives?

Especially when it was such a joyful and pleasant contesant who was kicked off in his stead. Ah Chris, we hardly knew ya.

Jillian, meanwhile, really stepped up her game last night, leading her team to victory, and producing the best looking outfit of the night. I mean, those overalls were fierce! After three straight weeks of finishing in the middle of the pack, I love her declaration that she is going to be in the Top 3 from here on out. Confidence with the ability to back it up? That's the kind of designer I'm lookin' for.

And, of course, I must comment on Christian, who continues to drop bon mots loaded with an almost unfathomable amount of wit. The pixie is hysterical! I hope he sticks around for a long time to come, just so that he can provide hilarious commentary on the action going on around him.

Next week can we please get rid of Ricky? Please?!?
