Not particularly surprising

This week's Runway was supposed to have a bunch of surprises in store. They didn't catch me once. I'll be nice and put this behind the cut, just in case you haven't seen it and would like to try being surprised yourself.

First off - the announcement that one of the designers was going to leave early. So not surprised that it was Jack with a health issue. Also, when they had the surprise models show up, I knew immediately that it was a weight loss situation, and that the clothes the ladies had brought with them were to be the raw materials. I also called the winner and the loser right off. And, when they tried a cute little mid-ep surprise with a commercial break cliffhanger, I knew immediately that it was them bringing Chris back.

Not to say that the episode was boring or anything. It wasn't bad at all. I just wasn't surprised by anything.

Steve was doomed from the get-go. A wedding dress? Are you fucking kidding me? There was no way he was going to be able to do anything with that. I can't believe that lady brought her wedding dress to be chopped up for a 'reality' game show. And then to make things worse, he didn't even try to do anything with it. I mean, he might have been on the chopping block with a hideous white monstrosity on his hands, but he would have gotten points for using the material. Instead he used a bunch of black material he bought with the budget, added a bit of white trim from the original dress, and made this horrible schoolmarm outfit. It was pure hideous.

The winner was a near tie between Kevin and Christian. They were both sharp. But you could just tell that Christian's design was just... more. It's hard to define, exactly. In a way, it's about time that he got a winner up there - he really has it in him. Also, he is annoying as fuck, so he is a shoo in for the final three if he doesn't do something totally assy in the next few eps. And what is up with his fucking hair? Seriously - how can he do that to his head on a daily basis? It's insane. Anyway, now that he's got a win in I imagine he will be completely insufferable. I don't hate him, but so far he's the closest to a hate I've got for this season.

And finally - what the fuck is up with Sweet P? Is that poor girl jinxed or what? I swear, every time Heidi pulls buttons out of that damn bag, Sweet P is last. Every time! So far she hasn't gotten royally screwed out of the deal, but it's only a matter of time if this curse continues. I like her, I'd hate to see her get auf'd because of some evil gravity issue.
