Project Runway - Review

SPOILERS for 10/4's show

This review is going to be much shorter than the others, as the episode tonight was the reunion. Things got off to a dramatic start with the return of KEITH!!! Squirrely and wily, he continued to believe he was innocent, that those pattern books magically turned up in his room...tsk tsk.

I was so happy to see Alison return! But she had almost zero camera time. I would have loved to know what she was up to. I like Milan, too, but Alison was the one the judges really should have asked about. When they mentioned the "controversial" decision to keep Vincent and get rid of her, I expected a lot more! I think all Project Runway viewers were shocked by that decision. It's not like Vincent is even THAT amusing. Alison had more to show. I firmly believe she could have made it to the final three--or, this season, four.

An interesting moment I would have liked to have seen more of: Laura defending Jeffrey, in terms of the situation with Angela's mom. Yes, Jeffrey was unnecessarily cruel, but Angela's mom (like Angela) was beyond passive aggressive.

Michael won the fan favorite award of $10,000! Does anyone remember who won the previous years? I hope it's not some sort of curse. I adore Michael and firmly believe he is the most exciting designer.

Very much looking forward to next week's finale, with all four designers showing! Maybe people can post comments on who they think should win? My vote's Michael Knight! The name even sounds like it'd be a great label. Come on!
