This being the gayest season of reality television's gayest series—unless we mean gay as in bad, in which case it's that stupid show about Scott Baio pretending to be pregnant on VH1—the winner of Project Runway Season 4 is most likely going to be a gay man (sorry, Jillian) for the first time since Jay McCarroll took home the title in 2005. While fags across America scamper home to set their TiVos for the grand finale which commences this evening, we can't help but marvel at what a gay time we've had watching this run, which in truly homosexual fashion consisted of non-stop drama.
Between Jack Mackenroth's MRSA-staph-and-not- AIDS-related facial swelling meltdown, Chris March's portfolio of drag queen self-portraits, Ricky Lizalde's nonstop weeping, Christian's inability to utter a sentence without including the terms "fierce," "flawless," "feroche," or "barfness," and the very presence of series judge Michael Kors and his bitchy asides, the show was so infectiously homo-centric that the female contestants felt routinely eclipsed and sole straight male contestant Kevin Christensen might have actually become gay in some sort of nuclear-gay fallout. After the jump, check out some of our favorite moments from this season so far, and then we'll see you on the runway.
For the reunion show, Bravo put together a montage of clips of poor Kevin Christianson, the sole straight man in the cast, and how he managed (amazingly!) not to end up with a cock in his mouth while bunking with this bunch of homos.
This clip provides joy on so many fronts: not only is it from Episode 1 with the whole cast of characters is still fully intact, but we have the first evidence of batshit Elisa's batshit craziness with her grass stained fabric and that raggedy ass train; we have Jillian's monosyllabic fretting and Victorya muttering under her breath; there's Christian doing his hair and generally loving himself; and there's even Jack, pre-flying-monkey-nose, standing near-naked in front of a window around minute 1:50. Oh, where does the time go.
We neglected to include Michael Kors in our roundup of gay minstrels, but this moment of realness from the big lady—and by 'realness' we mean we believe he genuinely broke out into laughter—made us realize we'd take him over that stone-cold humorless bitch Nina Garcia any day.
In Christian's uber-gay lingo: If it's not a tranny mess, then it's fucking fierce. We love the talented little Millennial and his cockatoo hairstyle (and so did the show's fans, who voted him the Fan Favorite and handed him a check for $10,000) and we also love watching how fucking long it takes him to flat-iron and style that shit into its signature flawlessness every morning. As much as he's kind of a prick and a virtual jukebox of fey exclamations, our money's on him to win.
