Project Runway 407 Recap: "What a Girl Wants"

Mr. Best-Dressed did not have a good week this challenge. Yes, last week's preening, gloating diva was writhing on the workroom floor in agony, admitting he couldn't think of a way to salvage his creation. "You're too talented. Don't give up! Rally!" Tim Gunn all but yelled, but Christian wouldn't be consoled.

Best workroom banter of the night was Sweet P lamenting that it just had to be her turn, especially after last week's near-offing: "I've been on the bottom. It's my turn," she said

Snorted Chris: "Honey, I've been voted off," proving once more that Chris wins at life.

Chris also asked a joke: "What would you call the Flintstones if they were gay?"

Ricky Lazade wasn't sure, and Chris smirked. "Fags." I laughed, but was also a little surprised Bravo let this air.

Then Ricky called his mother on his cell phone, which brings us to the big question of the night, bigger even than whether or not Hillary Clinton cried during the New Hampshire primary and if she did, was it genuine: Did Ricky actually cry this week?

He certainly got teary-eyed. He definitely showed his emotional side, and were he running for president, this might have turned his campaign around. But my belief is that he didn't really let it all hang out. He did, however, get off the best observation of the night, saying, "When I had a girlfriend, I made her prom dress. I guess that should have been a clue."

After a little more sewing and a little more banter, my personal fashion Jesus, Tim Gunn, came into the workroom and did his mentor thing. This is the part of the show when I want to follow around behind him going, "Listen to the man, kids!" But alas.

Tim told lone hetero guy Kevin Christiana to be "really critically objective" and cautioned him about the hem on his red halter dress. (So did three of his fellow designers; hello, foreshadowing.) Then Tim headed over to look at Rami Kashou's dress, and suggested it looked like more suitable for his model's mom. Rami borrowed Christian's missing arrogance and pointed out he had immunity and was willing to take a risk. Actually not so much, Rami; Tim was right. That warm green drapey thing is not a prom dress.
