I had hoped to see Allison go much farther in this season of Project Runway, but tonight one of my favorite designers got the boot.
With a great eye for silhouette and impeccable build and styling techniques, this challenge proved to be too much for Allison. What is worse is that she was booted instead of the looney Vincent. That had to be a producer’s decision. Vincent is great TV fodder because he’s borderline insane. Allison is just too normal next to him, and has not caused any controversy. So, despite the fact that I believe she was the superior designer, she got the boot.
What really gets my goat about the situation is that a couple of weeks ago the judges and producers of the show let another designer move forward, despite the fact that he had not completed the challenge. Of course, that designer was booted off the next week for cheating, but the fact remains that he did not actually complete the challenge and yet was passed on to the next round.
In real life, I don’t care for reality TV programs. But for Project Runway I have made an exception. Check it out on Bravo, Wednesday nights at 10/9!
