Photo Scoreboard and Rankings by Jacob D.

This week's episode of Project Runway was quite a drag.
With a guest appearance from season four designer Chris March, the designers learned they would all be making outfits for drag queens.
After selecting their drag queen clientele, the designers seemed to have a ball, although Suede ran into that good ol' drama when his client made a comment that implied he was lazy.
On the runway, Joe won the challenge and Daniel and Keith were left as the bottom two.

Korto
Current Ranking: 1 Previous Ranking: 3
Korto has now appeared in the top group of the runway judgings three times, tying her with Terri and Kenley for having the strongest track records. Sure, she's been in the bottom group once, unlike Terri or Kenley, but she still edges out Terri to take the top spot because she's won a previous challenge and very nearly won again this week when the judges found her design exburent, innovative, and fun. Korto is on a roll.

Terri
Current Ranking: 2 Previous Ranking: 3
Terri is building up a strong track record, but of the three designers that have appeared in the top group at the runway judgings three times, Terri is the only one who has yet to win a challenge, despite the praise she reaps. Then again, Jay McCarroll landed in the top group of the runway judgings multiple times back in season one and never won a challenge. We all know that he went on to win the whole thing, so don't lose heart Terri! Just keep doing what you're doing.

Kenley
Current Ranking: 3 Previous Ranking: 1
Kenley landed in the middle of the pack this week, but her strong record still stands. I was tempted to rank Joe above her, but even though Joe and Kenley have both won a challenge and never been in the bottom group, Kenley has appeared in the top group at the runway judgings three times while Joe has only been there twice. Joe is quietly gaining some momentum, but Kenley still edges him out for now.

Joe
Current Ranking: 4 Previous Ranking: 7
The only straight male designer in the group wins the drag queen challenge? That's irony at it's finest and I just loved it. In fact, I loved Joe this week. Rather than act like the fish out of water, he dove into the challenge and had fun. He listened to his client and as a result, turned in a flawless catsuit that won him the challenge. I love when Joe is just a fun-loving guy who doesn't take things too seriously and if he can keep acting this way and designing this way, he may be a dark horse in this competition. You're steadily improving Joe, so just keep that momentum going.

Suede
Current Ranking: 5 Previous Ranking: 5
Suede designed a fun, frenetic outfit for the flamboyant Miss Hedda Lettuce. He ran into a little drama, but he stuck to his guns and stayed on track. He and Hedda were able to resolve their differences and Suede passed through to the next challenge.

Leanne
Current Ranking: 6 Previous Ranking: 9
Leanne's outfit was absolutely wonderful in my opinion. It was beautifully sculptured and I saw her inspiration in the design, which was a fashion-forward Jetsons outfit. It seemed like Leanne loved her design and hopefully this will give her the shot of confidence that she needs.

Blayne
Current Ranking: 7 Previous Ranking: 11
Blayne couldn't have been more perfect for this challenge. Our little tanning gnome is all bright flashy colors and crazy designs, so why not have him work for a drag queen? His outfit was right for the challenge and it helped get him through to next week. Now let's see if he can bring the same pizzazz to the other challenges without being too over-the-top.
|
Keith
Current Ranking: 8 Previous Ranking: 4
I hate to say it, but Kenley may have been right when she said last week that Keith needs a sharp voice to snap him into shape. He's got the artistry and he's brave enough to try new things, but at the moment, he's all raw goods. He needs to find some way to really polish his designs so that everyone can see where he's coming from and appreciate what he has to offer.
|
Stella
Current Ranking: 9 Previous Ranking: 8
Luisa looked fabulous in Stella's outfit, but that was more because of Luisa's charisma than Stella's design. Stella designed an outfit much in the same vein of what she always does so I don't feel compelled to move her higher up on the scoreboard.
|
Jerell
Current Ranking: 10 Previous Ranking: 6
Jerell just seems to be all over the place right now. Two weeks ago, his outfit was overdesigned and missed the mark in the Olympics challenge. Last week, he nearly won the challenge with his sharp and fun frock. This week, his outfit seemed plain in a sea of dragged out dresses. Jerell has personality and it shows in his outfits, but he needs to work on consistency right now.
