The Parsons posse was feeling the pressure on Wednesday's episode of "Project Runway."
Kenley was officially not talking to Leanne (lucky girl) and spent most of the episode brooding in a corner by herself. Jerelle confirmed that he's a few stitches short of a seam by talking to himself and Aunt Jemima.
Flower power
The designers were whisked to a lovely garden by Tim Gunn and Collier Strong. They had to find blooms to inspire an evening look. I expected more dramz for the last challenge.
The other three designers left Kenley out to dry and she deserved it. Luckily, she reminded viewers 37 times that she's a fighter. And apparently growing up on a boat gave her the green light to be a brat.
Jerelle didn't share his tulle with her and she bellyached her way back to Mood. Tim Gunn seemed so willing to forgive Kenley's hip-hop hysterics. He's a much better person than me.
Style snafus
The designers threw taste to the wind and let their nerves take over. The results were scary.
Leanne's gown was a gorgeous color, but it looked a little "Hello Dolly" before she fixed it.
Korto's dress was a mess. She should have kicked the beads and lace to the curb and stuck with a simple silhouette. ("Janked" has officially been added to my vocab.)
Kenley's loud, pink number looked a little fishy. If she cut it off at the calf, it would have been wearable.
Jerelle's voluminous look was unfocused. Given a little more time, he might have pulled it together. He managed to win the challenge and wore his Robin Hood outfit again.
Then came the tears, the excuses and the pleas. The most surprising breakdown of all was Korto. And to think, at one point, I wondered if she had a soul. The judges just seemed bored -- this season's hottest trend.
Everyone threw Kenley under the bus and I gasped when she said she was sorry, even though it was a last-ditch attempt to not get sent home. She remained bitter and didn't even join in the group hug when all the designers were sent to Bryant Park. Like last season, only three will show.
See you "at the tent" as Jerelle would say. (Fierce hand snap not included.)
