Project Runway Episode 7: Grab a Kleenex, Keith. It's gonna be a long ride ...

Episode 7's winning design

... home.

The designers got their second chance at innovation by making an outfit from the raw materials of Saturn cars. The Seatbelt Brigade looked scarily like challenge one where nearly half the designers leaned on the tablecloth crutch. Luckily, though Bravo's editing team showed almost every designer snag their weight in seatbelts, only Blayne and Korto used them to an extreme. Blayne's swag "car wash" dress wasn't adored by the judges due to poor fit and an overall "blah" effect, whereas Korto was second runner-up for the win. Her woven mod swing coat was simply stunning, and had guest judge Rachel Zoe up in arms about making it her own.

But Keith was the one truly up in arms this week, as he not only said farewell to his fellow designers after making a shittily sewn halter top and a too-tight panel skirt, but he also got snappy with the judges. Keith sobbed uncontrollably after being eliminated and played the pity-party role as the boy from Utah who doesn't get many chances. Well, boohoo. Maybe you shouldn't have packed that egomaniacal 'tude in your suitcase to New York.

Leanne, who won this challenge with her bubble-hip, fringe trim, sweetheart mini dress, dropped some jaws — including my own. She nailed this challenge by delivering something chic, innovative and beyond cool. Leanne has reaffirmed my belief in her worth as a ProjRun competitor, as did Joe. He got no recognition, but his motocross-style cropped sheath was well-done and adorable; touché. This episode also left me with a couple "gotta love it" moments such as "Hi, Timlicious," a "whackadoodle" count of two and a boyfriend named Ratbones.

Diane von Furstenberg makes next week's episode legendary with a major prize that leaves the designers in blood, sweat and tears.
