Project Runway - En Garde!
Air date: January 16th, 2008 on Bravo

Like the next few posts I have coming down the pike, I'm gonna make this one short. I'm still sick and the last thing I want to do is blog. :P It's enough of a trial standing up. I can push myself to read, but I'm in no condition to formulate half-way coherent sentences. :P

*Spoilers*

Is the fix in? I'm by no means naive. I get that most reality programming is scripted. I can accept it. So when my sister brought up the idea that the producers of Project Runway were the one thing keeping Ricky in the show, I shouldn't have been shocked or appalled. But I was! I guess I've always held the show up to a higher standard. And I still do. I can't and don't want to believe that he's still in the running solely for his story and drama. She brought this up a couple of weeks ago. Given what's gone down in the last episode I have to wonder though... What if the fix is in? Are they keeping Ricky in longer than he deserves to be?

I don't buy it. I don't think the producers have that amount of pull. Like I said, I'm not naive so I know that last sentence must sound insane, if not, certainly stupid. But I just don't believe it. I think, more than anything, the show is a fair-and-square competition. They wouldn't compromise the integrity of that competition. And taking that stance, I can certainly see how Ricky could still be in. But it's still amazing and perplexing to some extent. The guy's got an angel on his side that's for sure. He's really pimping out lady luck. He should be gone. I want him to be gone. He has to be gone. If he's not cut from the running in the next episode I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. The only reason he's still in, I guess, is because he wasn't the head designer this time around. Otherwise he would have been gone.

I could go on. But like I said I wanna make this one short. I don't know that I care to go into my wild theorizing about the voting logistics this time around. :P It's too crazy and pathetic. ;) I just know that I'll be an unhappy man if Ricky is still on the show the following week. Too many talented artists have gone ahead of him.
