Project Runway - *spoiler*

I wonder if this is the night he gets kicked off...

http://www.imdb.com/news/wenn/2006-07-25/

Top reality TV show Project Runway has found a new "villain" after contestant Keith Michael was exposed as a plagiarist. Supermodel Heidi Klum, the star of the US show, hinted that one contestant was dismissed from the program for "something illegal" in interviews before the new season started earlier this month. And now it has come to light that Michael was so desperate to appear on the third season of Project Runway, he submitted designs that allegedly weren't his.

Fashionistas at website TelevisionWithoutPity.com raised the alarm when they realized the wannabe designer's ideas on the show were almost identical to runway photos that had appeared on sites such as Elle.com and Style.com. The 34-year-old designer won the show's first fashion challenge. Klum is thrilled by the controversy: "We have a great villain. You always hope for something like that."

But the disgraced designer insists he did nothing wrong. In an email to the Blogging Project Runway, Michael stated he had submitted five portfolios to the judges and the portfolio that has landed him in trouble was "a research assignment I did for a client in which I reviewed key fashion trends."

5. The previews have been showing Tim Gunn calling someone out...

...for a few weeks. And it looks like Keith has a fight with that woman who is an architect (I forget her name but she WILL be in the top 3) I want to see some of this happen this week or else!

7. I also like the petite blonde, Allison?

I think that's her name. She's had some great designs so far. And Michael, from Atlanta (my hometown), has been solid as well.
Robert's designs have been very impressive. I hope he's in the finals. I loved his first effort...the dress with the little red bows in the back.
