This season (and to some degree last season) has been terribly commercial at the expense of creativity. I am OK with the camera focusing in in the TreSemme Hair Care products while they are in the Beauty Room or whatever the hell they call it.. But when the challenges themselves become more about promotion than creativity.. that's when I get mad. “Designers, make something that Sarah Jessica Parker’s indentured workers in Myanmar can produce for $1.28, to be sold at $19.99 in the bargain outlets in Kansas.”

Hence forth the Manolo shall put the name of the winner below the fold so as to not spoil the suspense for you. Your wish is the Manolo’s command!

Dear Manolo, I watch Project Runway religiously, but I must always watch it two days later than it airs because of my work schedule. I was wondering if you would mind not mentioning who got kicked out in the uncut part of your entry, so as to not spoil the fun of watching for those of us who didn't get to see it as soon as it aired. Just a request from a devoted reader; thank you! I think Ricky should have gone home as well.

I smell shenanigans. The recapper of PR at Television Without Pity has also put out a fatwa on "fierce." Stop it, Christian.

And I completely agree with your estimation of Chris's character. He will be missed. I would also like fewer team competitions in this season - they have already done them twice!

Ricky should have gone home. He's not very talented, and every time see him I want to rip that stupid black hat off his head and punch him in the face.

She's shown that she CAN take criticism constructively instead of getting all defensive. Her "come bearing gifts" spiel won me over since she could have gone for the jugular when Sweet P threw her under the bus even after she knew they were on a top team that week. Victorya is a shrew. She got all "I don't want to be the leader" but when it came down to it, she bossed everyone around and got passive aggressive when being a nag didn't work. I think she just couldn't own up to the responsibility. That and I generally loathe her "aesthetic." She really deserved to go home.

Teams often result in the ousting of a designer over more than the whole of his/her own design (i.e. personality conflicts). And for this season to already have had two team designs on only the fourth episode? Blech. I like to see what the individual designers come up with and to see each of their designs evaluated. Can't we worry about whether someone is a good team leader on "Project Runway: Team Spirit"?
