Episode 11's winning design (seriously)

CP fashion platelette Rebecca Grites sizes up Season 5 of Bravo’s Project Runway every week on Critical Mass.

If the Fifth Season of Fabulous has shown us anything, it's that Bravo is running out of ideas. This week's challenge was another lame attempt at transformation — making outfits for one another based off a specific musical genre — but at least it left the sabotage door wide open. All designers were ready, willing and able to make Kenley look like an idiot, but she didn't need much help. Thanks to her, we saw Tim Gunn get bitchy for the first time in ProjRun history — and rightfully so! Kenley proceeded to defend her disrespectful 'tude against the Almighty Mentor throughout the episode, which made me hate that Floridian even more.

Aside from the animalistic tendencies of the final five to try and get each other auf'd, Leannimal came out full force this week as she effed Suede by taking his model, Tia. But, in the end, it didn't really matter. They didn't use the models they fought for and Suede went the way of bell bottoms — out and out. (Though Kenley's horrific interpretation of hip-hop truly should've been kicked to the curb, especially since L.L. Cool J was the guest judge.) Korto won L.L.'s heart and the challenge with her punk rock regalia for Suede chock full of chains, bleach stains and fairly frightening eye makeup.

My Runway appetite was satiated, however, thanks to Country-Fried Korto, Tim referring to himself as "an old fart," Suede's "I look like I should've been in the drag queen challenge" remark and Michael Kors' shit-eating judgment day grin.

Next week: Meltdowns-a-many! A real crying game! So tearlicious.
