Project Runway Season Five

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, especially when it comes to couture. In last night's episode of Project Runway, the designers were asked to create a couture garment that reflected an astrological sign. While others were scolded for their tacky pieces, Leanne, Jerell, and Joe scored high on the judges card for their creative designs. Leanne's scorpion-inspired dress was dark and lovely; Jerell took a huge risk using interesting fabrics; and Joe's ram-inspired dress was well interpreted. Which one was your favorite?

I'm just gonna put it out there: Spoiler alert! Most of the creations from last night's Project Runway turned out better than I thought. Another pleasant surprise was who was auf'd. Keith has increasingly demonstrated questionable design skills and, as was pointed out last night, has increasingly demonstrated attitude. I knew it was coming sooner or later, although this should have happened last week when he sent a nonplussed drag queen look down the runway. Oh! And the guest judge, none other than Rachel Zoe, whom we've been revealing all sorts of juicy tidbits about leading up to her Bravo show, The Rachel Zoe Project. Zoe was nice and approachable compared to Nina Garcia stand-in Laura Bennett (who also instantly seemed to dislike Keith). Bad vibes man. Meanwhile, Zoe had a fondness for Korto's seatbelted dress coat; it was superb, but not Korto's best. Congrats to the winner, and the loser. Where you happy to see Keith go?

For the first time in this season of Project Runway, I completely disagree with the judges' decision. Sorry, Nina! The challenge was to create a day-to-night look for Brooke Shields's character on Lipstick Jungle — really cool. Sophisticated, bohemian, and sharp was what I envisioned. Seeing the team dynamics is always entertaining, but the results were polarizing. After the models walked, I knew who the bottom and top looks were. Spoiler on its way . . . I did not expect Kelli to get sent home for an overly-sexy look while Blayne stayed for his tousled styling and gray Bermuda shorts; after Heidi said it looked like someone who had gotten dressed in the dark without a mirror, I thought the decision was made. So yeah, I totally thought Blayne should have gotten the ax. Maybe I'm alone here, you tell me?

Who's excited for the Olympics?! I am. And after last night's episode of Project Runway I am even more excited. Fashion and the Olympics do mix. And it's always nice to see Olympian Apollo smile. Last night's episode was the best thus far; it was very entertaining with Blayne's "tanorexia," Kenley's giggle attacks, and Jerrell's commentary. Sillies aside, I thought the winning three looks were all stellar. I'm starting to really like the winner — no spoilers here! — so I was hoping (s)he would win, but all three were impressive. But, if you were the guest judge, which all-American look would you have chosen as the most Fab?
