With Elisa gone, is Project Runway worth watching at all anymore? Well, yes, and here's two reasons: Heidi Klum and Michael Kors. Can't they just be in the entire thing? Or can't they just have their own spin-off, where she makes jokes and he laughs hysterically at them? And who knew Zac Posen was such a bitch? In the clip above, Zac and Fag & Hag rip apart the worst of the bunch, while Nina merely sits there with< a look of disgust and confusion on her face. That said, it's always best when the deeezyners get weird challenges like this where they have to make clothes out of weird stuff like candy, because that's when you can really see their raw creativity emerge. We would've thought with the weirdness this challenge would've allowed, Elisa would've knocked this one of the park, but alas, it turns out that La La Land is much different place than Candyland.

I am sad she is gone. Who else spits on the fabric to make a mark?
That is just good television.
When does top chef come back anyway? Now THEM spitting on something would be interesting...
I thought the dress made of Twizzlers should have won. It looked stunning, and it made creative use out of the materials they were given. Anyone -- even me -- can tear up a pillow and make it into an apron.
"it turns out that La La Land is much different place than Candyland."
Shit! No wonder I haven't met Lord Licorice or Princess Lolly yet. Where the hell have I been living?
Well, who's gonna bring the crazy now?
The last episode I saw was when the wedding dress failed Stephen. Then I forgot all about this boring mess..I was told that they stopped showing new episodes for a while..did I miss other episodes or just this one? PS.. Spoiler Alerts?
@brendastarlet: Totes! And it smelled good! Can you imagine making that?
@brendastarlet: I spent 90% of this episode craving a Twizzler
I liked Chris March's Hershey dress. Most wearable, most classic.
@lesbiansayswhat: Stephen was robbed - this was the first since.
I knew it would be Elisa as soon as she mentioned getting hit by a Porsche and going into a coma... Can they be more obvious with the loser edit?
Even though Elisa confessed she had been mowed down by a driver when crossing the street and spent 5 days in a coma, I was glad to see her go.
I cannot stand Jillian. At all.
aaaaaaaaaaaaah, i love zac posen. he's so ... smug.
It was so mean how they kept trashing some of the outfits because they didn't evoke the "spirit" of the candy. Yes, God forbid they miss the pathos of Reese's Pieces. Wait, what?
Elisa bumped her pumpkin! The head trauma reveal certainly explained a lot.
I watched this after everyone else went to bed. When Tim told Sweet Pea her skirt looked like a Maxi Pad the scream in my head was deafening! Twizzler dress rocked, you could wear it out to party and have a snack when you need one, brilliant!
Aaargh! I missed this last night, and now just from the headline I know how it ends.
@westendgirl: Where's the joy, the joy of the candy? where is it? We need more joy!
christian needs to stop talking....he sounds like a mini santino after bonging helium. could not and still cannot stand santino. best thing he ever did was the tim gunn impression and the whole andrae-red lobster thing.
i heart kevin and rami. i'll take a kevin and rami sandwich, please.
This episode did nothing to quell my inexplicable thing for Rami (bad facial hair and all).
@PICKLES_IN_MY_TUNA: Omg! The maxi pad comment was hysterical. I love my Tim!
I feel bad for Jillian--so many people were predicting her to a bitch, but she seems perfectly sweet so far.
I love how Christian has a posse of gay men babysitters. I'm sure they'll keep an eye out for him at any Red Lobster outings.
I didn't like the twizzler dress. The bodice "jumped away" from her torso and thats what got sweet Andrae booted from Season 2. I liked Rami's and Chris's dresses alot though.
I've been terribly out of the PR loop this season. Though my sister did get me the PR dress from the Bitten line for Christmas. Anyone know how to actually WEAR it so it doesn't look like a sack?
I don't think the point of this challenge was to showcase the designers' creativity... I think it was a big tacky Hershey's commercial that had nothing to do with fashion.
@mllej: isn't that kevin? i thought rami was largely hairless.
Also, shouldn't SweetPea's boring dress have sent her packing? After that men's shirt she effed up, I thought for sure a dress that looked thrown together at the last minute would have gotten her the boot.
I didn't realize Tim Gunn even KNEW the word "maxi-pad." I almost fell off the couch, and it made the husband actually look up from Sports Illustrated.
That said, I loved the only real candy dress in the show. You can get wasted and satisfy your munchies at the same time. If only she had added some M&M's to it.
@mllej: do you mean Kevin? I'm pretty sure Rami doesn't have any hair on his head at all.
I enjoyed this episode, it was a nice change from all the boring stuff we've seen so far, design wise.
I felt so bad for Sweet P, because I really liked her original dress and then she went and made that horridly bland thing. At least she wasn't aufed.
I don't know why, but I love Jillian's voice. Even when she was freaking out, her voice sounded very lovely. And as a huge fan of Twizzlers, all I could think was that I could probably eat that dress in one sitting.
In other news, Kevin has grown on me like mold. Maybe it's because he's stopped mentioning his straightness in every episode.
@bowlingfordollars: I used to work with her. She is a snotty little bitch.
can we discuss how the real tragedy here is that i am now sucked into model show that immediately followed. damn you bravo and your reality tv programming!
mmm....twizzlers....i was hoping that sweet p would get the boot over elisa. i think her designs are pretty boring and poorly made, and elisa is sooo much more entertaining. between those two and their designs there was all kinds of ammo for hilarious potty humor--maxi pad skirt and pooing fabric... sigh. christian is going to have to up his obnoxious-pansy-gaylord-imp factor to make up for elisa's absence.
@Kataroo_Kangaroo: Ooh I HATED that dress and was so upset it won... SJP's whole emphasis was that she wanted a garmet that suits every woman, and that dress would make me look 11 months preggers for sure. Of course, I'm sure you will find a way to "make it work" and be lovely, but it would not have been my pick for the win.
Daniel Franco, where did you go-o?
Jillian's dress definitely deserved praise for its creativity and the obvious amount of effort she put into it, but I couldn't get behind the judges when they called it chic. It looked like a dang rodeo outfit.
Christian's dress evoked memories of Austin Scarlett's brilliant corn husk dress from season one, only it didn't need refrigeration.
Dog-GONE Jezebel! A spoiler alert, perhaps???? I had to DVR the show so my hubby could watch the Fiesta Bowl, so I haven't seen it yet! THX A BUNCH!
AHHH please do not post spoilers in the headline!
Bad enough to include them in the text that appears on the home page but .... ahhhhh!
Some of us can't watch it the night it airs.
Oh, and everyone in any photo on here today is BEAUTIFUL.
@ForeverBlueGirl: I feel you!
@BeckyIva: Oh, it really is that terrible. And I believe in the rock-ability of just about any garment, and I am known to wear things that are a bit out there. But this... this dress...pillowcase...thing. I'll only be able to try to style it the PR way (I like it much better in the gray they used on the show- S&B only carries it in black and maroon), but it's a short garment on a long me and argh! It's giving me anxiety just thinking about it. It's going to have to be worn on a super ballsy day.
@sartastic: I'll buy the "snotty little bitch" assessment, though to me her worst sin is that she comes across as having roughly the personality of a soggy washrag.
Methinks if there's a Jillian/Victoria faceoff in the future, the bitchclaws will come out ...
Munchy Twizzler dress notwithstanding - I'm looking forward to designers making women's clothes out of actual fabric. You know - fabric? You make stuff with it!
Last night I had bad choco-flashbacks to my summer spent clogging on concrete at Hersheypark 5 shows a day 6 days a week.
It really does smell like chocolate there.
As much as I think Elisa is a riot, she deserved to go. And whoever said the editing made that grossly obvious was right.
I didn't like Romi's dress at all. That bodice hurt my head and it looked uncomfortable.
Christian....I hate that kid. It sounds like Paris Hilton is his speech coach - how many times can he say "that's hot" in that stupid monotone voice?
And, on a side note, why are the designers scrambling to have that super skinny model? She's not the best of the bunch by any means, just the thinnest. That totally bugs me for some reason.
@BeckyIva:
Especially when the Hershey's rep said they could pick from "all the delicious brands." Bravo is all about the delicious brands, between Santino selling his soul to Saturn and the Top Chef Gladware Bertolli frozen dinner challenges.
MK was KILLER last night, his quips had me in hysterics towards the end there.
I'm sure a ton of people hate Jillian but she's damn good at what she does and I just love her for some reason. That being said, bitch looked EXACTLY like Loonette the Clown from The Big Comfy Couch (I have a sister 15 years younger, I'm allowed to know this shit) last night in those suspenders. I was kind of frightened to be honest.
@BrutallyHonestBabes: I always wondered why "Hersheypark" has no space. Why is not "Hershey" "Park"?
For those that watch "Crowned" as well- how awesome was it that Nick popped up there a couple episodes ago?!?! LOVE NICK....although even I'd be hard pressed to call him an "internationally famous designer"
I'm done with Sweet Pea (I almost slipped and said something about her appearance but I will refrain.) I am not into "quirky" just for "quirky." She also reminds me of a girl I went to college with who wore Windex blue tights and referred to her boyfriend as her "lover," a la Carrie Bradshaw and Alexander Petrovsky.
@triedandtrue: That actually depressed the hell out of me. The only thing worse would have been if he'd popped up on "How Do I Look?" like his pal Andrae.
@distractionfaction: Exactly! Being able to craft an outfit out
