'P. Runway' recap
Saturn Vue style
The 10 remaining designers took to the rooftops of New York City like a dysfunctional version of Santa's reindeer.
No, the roof was not on fire, it was full of shiny Saturn hybrid vehicles. Isn't it a coincidence that that the winning PR designer gets a Saturn and all the past designers star in those cheesy Saturn ads during commercial breaks? No. We are well aware that Bravo has perfected the art of the shameless plug.
The challenge, which actually seemed like a challenge, was for the designers to use car materials to create an ensemble.
You know the drill.
The designers struggled to pull together a concept while the complained about how hard the challenge was. Then they continued to bemoan their cruel fate while they constructed garmenat.
What? Not only did Suede's grandfather pass away (and possibly still try to contact him from beyond the grave), but his father is no longer with us either. That's straight-up sad and makes me glad I've been on Team Suede from the beginning. I bet all the haters feel a little bad right about now.
(She's always watching.) ---->
A lot of people chose to use seatbelts. This brings me back to the tablecloth incident from the first episode, but seatbelts are a little harder to turn into fashion, so we'll move on.
Korto, aka Scary Spice, wove a pretty cool jacket, even though in one shot her model looked like she was going to cry. Unfortunately, there is not a seatbelt equivalent safety device for Korto's attitude. She's "not going home without a fight."
Leanne made kind of a cocktail dress a cocktail dress. The fact that it was an unusual shape and made of leather to it from boring to fab. She walked away the winner (and probably watching her back for a possible Korto attack.)
(I want this dress.)---->
Fashion's a B
Kenley's ten-minute freak out about how she had to switch models was totally blown out of proportion. Save the drama for your mama, sweetie.
Keith's freak-out/identity crisis/awful design/model not knowing what "don't sit down" meant got him sent home.
Nina was a no show, so season 3 contestant ice queen Laura Bennett and stylist Rachel Zoe stood in. Shameless plug alter: Zoe is getting her own Bravo series this fall.
Stella's gentlemen caller, William, aka Rat Bones, needs a major makeover. Strike that. He needs to not refer to himself as Rat Bones. We should have known that she'd dig a man decked out in tats and "leatha." It looks like they met at a rural truck stop.
Why was everyone dropping the "B" word left and right? If I could raid the PR cussing jar, I'd be rich. They should say "tranny mess" instead. Let's keep it classy.

Dude I agree, if Kenley's freakout was overblown. Has she ever watched the show? You can't expect a group of women who starve themselves to make it through an entire competition. Also, it's about time Keith left.
