Project Runway 4 - Episode 6

The show is finally back after taking two weeks off for the holidays -- but it was pretty boring and predictable.

Let get started with a little bit of Kevin:


We should start a petition that Kevin must be shirtless on average 1.7 times during this season. Who is with me?

Tim wakes up the designers at 6AM to head to a surprise destination. Kit looks like hell when she greets him at the door:


She could have at least tried to tame that serious case of bed head. When she is made up , she kind of looks like Christina Aguilera:


and from the back she looks like Britney Spears:


Kevin greets Tim shirtless (the petition is working!)


much to the surprise and excitement of Tim. People make themselves presentable and it is off to the mystery location. And the mystery location is:


The Hershey store in Time Square. Great. Christian expresses what I feel at this moment:

"I was like "great," we get to make sh*t out of candy."
Victorya is so not the jazzed about the challenge, but Elisa is so upbeat. Elisa could totally be a Care Bear, or at least a Care Bear Cousin ... I mean she has the t-shirt for it.


She could do her Care Bear stare and Victorya would become cheery.

We are introduced to Michelle Gloeckler from Hershey's, and she it totally made from chocolate. Okay, not really, but you tell from the manner which she speaks that she's not human in origin.

"Thank you. And welcome. To Hershey's. Time Square. The sweetest place. In New York."
And Victorya's all:


"Really, bitch?!?" Elisa should try a bit harder to cheer up this sourpuss.

An aside, but are your thoughts on this:


To me, a bear marketing Bubble Yum bubble gum is the worst idea ever. Think about it. If a bear blows a bubble and it burst, it will get all in its fur and the only want to get rid of it is to cut it out. Or is the bear suppose to be made from Bubble Yum? I don't know. Sure it will appeal to kids, but it's a slippery slope on many levels.

Challenge:

Create a look using items from the hershey's store
Results:

Winner: Rami, Auf'd: Elisa, My Fav: Kevin
I really liked Kevin's design because it was actually wearable. Sure, Rami was more inventive, but you couldn't actually wear that anywhere unless you were working a corner. Also, the black shoes don't really go with that oufit, Rami. Kevin thought his design was beautiful:


Watch the hubris there, Kevin.


You know Elisa was going home when a) she based her design on what her daughter would wear and b) talked about the severe injuries sustained from being hit by a car in London. If you look pass all of her wacky antics, she was just a person just lucky to be alive and living her life to its fullest. I think I will miss Elisa.

There was some faux drama regarding Jillian's use of Twizzler for her design. They hyped it up so much that you know that she would have an outfit completed for the runway. It was a bold move to use food, but the design was just so-so. This would be a tacky outfit if it was made from real fabric.

The guest judge was Zac Posen:


I think that Zac would be a great replacement for Michael Kors. He is young and he actually gave critiques instead of a host of one-liners. I love how he was giving Michael some attitude. Someone else must have mentioned that he should be replaced


... but Michael Kors will have none of that kind of talk.
