Project Runway: Season 11, Episode 4

Hey, Joe, Where You Goin' with that Cat Sweater in Your Hand?

We now have proof-positive that no good deed goes unpunished.
Like some beautiful, autistic genius, our darling cat sweater-recycling Joe turns to dull Amanda & tells her how to rectify that dying moss dress --- and, he gets eliminated for it. Poor Joe was tired of hearing that dopey girl cry and whine, and his mind landed on the solution that would shut her up quickest.
Cat sweater Joe was also punished because his sweater dress most closely resembled an '80s dress, too, and, after losing, his team should have fessed up to making up that theme after the fact, and forcing his rounded garment into a square chasm, so to speak.

Guest judge, Bette Midler, seemed to get Joe, as did Heidi. Nina was all up in Bette's juice; repeating Bette's adjectives, and turning as much toward Bette as she could without actually crawling into her lap.
Who knew Nina had a sweet side? Bette could ask Nina to act as a surrogate for her, and Nina would be like, "Let's go to the fertility clinic right now, Bette."
She'd get as stretched-out as octomom for Bette.

Also surprising that the judges liked Michelle and Richard's creation. Talk about unflattering! Appeared as though their model was surrounded in a giant gas cloud.

The judges did pick the right dress to win. Exciting to see how the winner, Samantha, re-thought the challenge by folding the flowers inside of the garment. After all of these years of Project Runway running the floral challenge, Samantha's dress refreshed the entire concept.
