28 'Project Runway': Running rings around Saturn

I thought the “Project Runway” producers had lost their minds, asking designers to create outfits out of car parts. And while the Saturn product placement was heavy-handed, the challenge turned out to be quite entertaining and gave the designers a chance to show their innovative side.

Outfits I loved: Korto’s gorgeous coat (I covet it and she should have won); Kenley’s air filter cocktail dress; Terri’s pants and top and, although less practical, Leanne’s cocktail dress.

Outfits I hated: Keith’s boring skirt and top; Blayne’s ill-fitting dress.

Best moment: A tie. 1) Guest judge Laura Bennett (love her!) saying “Excuse me?!” to Keith after he sassed under his breath. 2) Keith sniffling that he's trapped in Utah and doesn't get out much. I didn't realize they'd erected a fence on the Utah border to keep people in. I think New York is still accepting people if he wanted to move. What a whiner.

Front-runner: Korto

Most annoying contestant: Kenley, for not asking after the welfare of her model when she found out she’d dropped out. It was all about Kenley all the time.
