Some girlfriends and I were fantasizing about which three designers on Project Runway we'd love to see make it to Bryant Park. That was the fun and easy part: Leanne, Korto and Terri seem like the strongest contenders so far in the competish.
But it's also fun to dish about why the rest fall so far from the top of the pack:
Jerrell: Although he's a dishy, gossipy diva with a fabulous personality, he might be too hit-and-miss to make it all the way to Bryant Park. So far, when he hits, he soars, but his misses are abysmally bad (see: the polka-dotted Pollyanna hat for his U.S. Olympic team uniform).
Blayne (above): While I love his quirky inventiveness -- the knickers he made for last week's impress-the-mess-outta-Diane-Von-Furstenburg challenge were divine! -- he's sometimes caused us to question his taste (the shorts for Lipstick Jungle? Hellish). And the tacking on of "-licious" onto every other noun? Over it.
Suede: Somehow his frequent referring to himself in the third person has NOT gotten on my nerves. Still, much like Blayne, his coasting in the middle of the pack or near the bottom has me wondering if he'll go very far. Too bad -- he's super-sweet and looks like a living, breathing South Park character. Farah will totes miss that.
Joe: I hope last week's drubbing of his work, despite his blazing overconfidence about it, served as a serious reality check for him. I haven't liked anything of his since his cute U.S. Olympic team ensemble. Maybe he'll make a late surge.
Kenley: She should be Auf'd just for being annoying. If it's not tears of stress we're getting from her, it's her juvenile guffaw echoing through the work room. And will she ever quit interrupting the judges?! Design-wise, I thought she fell short on the DVF challenge, which was a shame, considering the '30s/40s-era theme seemed to be right up her retro alley. Maybe she'll pull something out of her sleeve in the coming weeks.
What??? You totally left out Korto who has been kicking everybody's a$$ the whole way through. She's gonna win it. I see her, Joe and LeAnn in the final three. They all have either been consistent or walking through every competition with some snags here and there. Suede is losing his confidence and Jerrel is too blah to really make it to the end. But Korto will smear everyone! Yeah I said it!
Hello?! I said Korto was one of the front-runners!! :-) But you make fine points overall ...

Kenley pisses me off. She is so annoying all the time and super immature! I hate it when she laughs at people during judging and stuff.. She should be kicked off just for that!
