Tim Gunn is tired of your bullshit.

Anyone else notice how crispy Mr. Gunn has been lately? Don't force a dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker to spend time in L.A., kittens. The results ain't pretty.

"Designers, I'm here and I've only had about 3 hours of sleep. Let's get on with it."

"You. Accessories Boy. Talk to me."

"Hi Tim. I envisioned this look --"

"JESUS. ANOTHER one?!"

"We're all getting sick of skirts that look like potscrubbers, Chinstrap! Fix that shit before Nina sees it."

"You. Bitchy girl. Let's hear it."

"Basically, I'm doing a --"

"Were you high when I told you what the challenge was? When I said 'Bob Mackie,' did you hear 'Ice Capades?' Who did you think that old queen was standing next to me? Brian Boitano? "

"You. Lesbian. What's this?"

"Hi Tim. I'm working on--"

"The fuck? It looks just like that shitty ice queen dress those bargain basement judges loved so much!"

"And were you and the bitchy girl smoking from the same pipe? Did Christina Aguilera start working double axels into her stage show or something?"

"Tim, I'm having problems."

"You and me both. Your dress makes me want to vomit. On it. It would be an improvement."

"Tim, I don't know what I'm doing and I had an idea but then I thought it looked stupid so now I'm not sure if I should start over with another design or maybe I should try and fix this one but I can't decide because I'm so tired and I don't know who Bob Mackie is anyway and this dress is starting to look like Lily Munster's bridal gown and I don't want to go home because this means SO much to me so basically I'm freaking out!!"

"Here's some advice, Princess. No one gives a shit. Fix it."

"Designers, I'm leaving now to go to a bar where I will attempt to wash away the memories of these horrible dresses with at least a gallon of expensive vodka. I'll see you tomorrow. And I better see some Mackie-ass dresses when I get back."

"Good morning, designers. You have five min--"

"..."

"None of y'all motherfuckers listened to a word I said yesterday, did you?"

The "You may leave the runway"s

We're exhausted, but we're never too tired to rip a bitch.

Okay, Gordana. Very shrewd. You knew we were going to rip this week's entry to shreds so what did you do? You sent us a very sweet email. Clever girl.

But we're still going to rip this dress.

Honestly, (and we feel a little bad saying this now) we were wondering what the hell her problem was this week. She had immunity, the only time in the competition when you shouldn't be stressed out, and she was stressing out like crazy. We tend to think she's not cut out for a competition like this, but she's still in the game, so she must be doing something right.

Model: Matar Cohen

Unfortunately, she didn't do anything right with this look.

Everything from concept to execution was an auf'able offense. First, why did she make what's clearly a red carpet type dress?

Second, dear God, what is going on with those cups?

And third, what is going on with, oh, let's say...EVERYTHING ELSE? Seriously, we're sorry to hear she was sick, but she's damn lucky she had immunity because this was a clear automatic auf. Even Shirin's dress was better than this.

Nicolas: "Irina is actually a really good designer. The only problem with her is that she's a bitch."

We know most of y'all hate her but we find her the one bright spot this season. Come on, we all know it's been pretty boring so we're thankful that SOMEONE decided to step up and be the bad guy. Where would Project Runway be without a little smack-talking?

Model: Celine Chua

Besides, at least she can back it up with solid work. Don't get us wrong, this was far from a winning look, but it was still a pretty decent effort.

Let's get to the criticism first: why she decided a coat was a good idea for stagewear, we'll never know. Sure, it gives her the option of a reveal, but the coat is so plain.

And the design is only so-so. It's well-made and appropriately body-baring and glittery, but it deserved its middle of the road status.

Still, unlike a lot of the other entries, it at least looked like something you'd see on stage. Unfortunately, that stage would be a soundstage on the MGM lot in 1942 and the wearer would be "chorus girl #17," tap-tap-tapping her heart out with 40 other girls in the same outfit.

Tim Gunn's Workroom Critique:

Girls on Top

Technically, Nicolas isn't a girl, but only technically.

Credit where it's due, our resident 6-foot Nordic blonde pulled a pretty great-looking dress that managed to look just over-the-top enough to qualify as stagewear.

Model: Tanisha Harper

We could have done without the skinned-monkey shrug, though. It's not a bad idea in theory, but in practice it just didn't look right with the dress.

Come to think of it, we could make the same critique of the dress. Good on paper, but problematic on the runway.

Maybe that's a bit harsh, but we can't get past the obvious technical issues here.

Exhibit A. It was a great idea to reverse the sequined fabric in order to make a print out of it, but that involved an awful lot of sewing and she didn't have the time to make it impeccable.

Still, it was a smart idea and the end result was pretty eye-popping in a Cher kinda way.


When they announced this challenge we said to each other, "Nicolas has this one in the bag." After all, he's the "feather prince," right?

Model: Kalyn Hemphill

And to be fair, it was a pretty good entry. Definitely deserving of its spot in the top three.

But kittens, we're just so damn tired of the white dresses coming from his corner. Tim was right to call him out on it.

And while this is just over the top enough to qualify as stagewear, it really didn't go as far as it should have.

Although, again, credit where it's due, he did a really nice job on the feathers. We'll give you that one, Pocahontas.

We feel a little bad that we're being so critical of two entries that were pretty good, but that's just the problem: they were "pretty good" and they're considered the best of the lot. Not to beat a dead horse or anything but where was the grandiosity and fabulosity?

In other news, we're always forgetting to post a reminder, but this week's T Lo Awards are up.
