Project WTF!?
Last night was the finale for one of the best reality shows on TV, Project Runway. Up for the main prize (a car, some cash, an internship) were the final 3 designers: Santino Rice, Chloe Dao and Daniel V. Out of the final three the only person with even a hint of real talent IMO was Santino Rice. That alone is pretty sad. Last years contestants had so much more talent and skill. I thought the majority of people this year were “OK” at best. Chloe should have never made it into the final three. Her designs were unappealing and dull. Daniel, while I though he sucked 99% of the time atleast had the most wins throughout the season and was the judges pet, so it is understandable why he made it. I would have much preferred to see Kara make it into the final 3. She wasn’t always good, but when she pulled a good design out, it was real good. And as was proven with her showing during fashion week she definitely should have been a contender.
Anyway, AK and I couldn’t wait to see the final last night, we fired up the DVR and watched it. It was a pretty good finale up until the end. WTF? Chloe wins?? Wha-wha-wh-what?? Santino is knocked out immediately and is barely even given a thought of winning? This makes no sense. Santino’s collection was definitely the strongest one there. He finally listens to what the judges have been telling him the whole time and then they turn around and say it “wasn’t him”. I haven’t listened to Tim Gunn’s last podcast, but from everything else he seems to think Santino’s was the strongest as well. I sure as hell would trust Tim Gunn over Debra Messing as a judge any day.
It sucks, but atleast that pompous prick Daniel V. didn’t win. He needed to get knocked off his pedestal a bit. Besides, his tassle things were fucking ridiculous.
Go check out Santino Rice’s site. He will go far.
