Project Runway Week 11!

Another not- so- great challenge! Admittedly, this is not the best of seasons. However, at this stage of the game, I would think that almost everyone could produce at least acceptable work. That's questionable for this season.
Well, anyways, there was some serious model drama that went down this week. They had to boot 3 models, and they let everyone re-pick! OHHHHH!!!
To everyone's shock, Leanne gave up her beloved Karalyn for Suede's Tia! (Bad move, Karalyn was fabulous) Needless to say, Suede was just a tad upset, and decided to go with Xaviera. Kenley traded in Germaine for Topacio. Jerell and Korto both stuck with their models.

Okay, so here's the new model listings:
Leanne: Tia
Suede: Xaviera
Kenley: Topacio
Jerell: Nicole
Korto: Katrina

I have to admit, I was a little surprised that Leanne switched a model that she had loyally stuck with from the beginning. Only one challenge before Bryant Park! Kenley switched too, but that's more understandable because Germaine was forced upon her when Shannone dropped out.
After Heidi kissed the models goodbye and Karalyn cried herself off the runway, Heidi told everyone to head back to the workroom to find out their challenge.
In the workroom, Tim tells the designers that they will be designing for... each other! This has only happened once before in Project Runway history- way back in season 2! Their looks for each other will be inspired by different genres of music. (Pop, Punk, Rock and Roll, Country, Hip- Hop)
Tim drew names from the bag to determine who was designing for who and what their genre would be.

Leanne: Hip- Hop, Designing for Korto
Suede: Punk, Designing for Jerell
Kenley: Pop, Designing for Leanne
Jerell: Rock and Roll, Designing for Kenley
Korto: Country, Designing for Suede

Tim thinks that this will be the most "unique" show that Project Runway has ever seen. He could be right. There was some serious "unique" walking down that runway.

Speaking of runway...

Top Two: Korto, Jerell
Bottom Two: Kenley, Suede
Winner: Korto
Eliminated: Suede

My Favorite:
1. Korto
Korto gets her second win! Suede's style was punk, and she nearly nailed it! The only critique I have is about the black strips on the shirt. Didn't like those. However, I love the chains. And the bleached jeans are cool, too. Congrats, Korto!

My Least Favorite:
1. Suede
FINALLY! SUEDE IS OUT! What can we say about this one? Not very rock and roll. Vest? Ugly. Shirt? Ugly. Pants? Eh. And not that it matters, but Suede's runway walk was awful! Auf Wiedersehen, Suede!

P.S. And just for the record, Suede, I absolutely despised your dress that won you the second challenge!!!

AAAACKKKK! Awful! Horrible mummified ballerina barbie doll!

Check back next week for a recap on the new episode!
