Runway Snoozer Creeps Toward Slow Death

DUD Heidi

Wednesday night brought the reality television equivalent of a tree falling in the woods and no one hearing it. Project Runway rolled over and played dead this week, plodding through a predictable, drama-free episode.

Blame the Runway stumble on the network executives if you want—they're the same people behind Shear Genius. The previews following last week's episode essentially spoiled the episode for any reality television viewer with a brain. Jack's teary-eyed announcement to the rest of the designers could only mean that his HIV had flared up and he would be removing himself from the competition, and the designers' shock at a surprise guest arriving could only mean that Chris, eliminated last week for not being skinny, would be returning.
