This week's Project Runway took me by surprise for a couple reasons. First, I definitely wasn't expecting it to be the last episode before Bryant Park as there were five contestants still competing. Keyword: were.

Michael Kors disappeared from the judges panel on this week's Project Runway, so season two alum Nick Verreos and actress Kerry Washington took his place. The challenge was to craft a companion look for each contestant's best look (not winning look, sadly, because Logan hadn't won a challenge). The winner and loser didn't necessarily surprise me, but the whininess of Althea and Irina irritated me to no end.

Project Runway guest judge Milla Jovovich teared up at the end of this week's episode when the losing contestant was eliminated, and it was just one of the many bright spots of this week's destination-as-inspiration challenge. For one thing, Micheal Kors and Nina Garcia were up on the judging panel together, at the same time! I wasn't really blown away by the winner's look, but the losing outfit — and its maker — were more than ready to get the boot, in my opinion.

This week's Project Runway brought on a legendary stage costume designer who loves to use sequins and glitz (Bob Mackie) and a star who loves to wear them (Christina Aguilera). It also marked the triumphant return of Nina Garcia on the judging panel, who's been mostly absent this season. Her judging and critique are such a comfort to hear (and I would have paid Tim Gunn to tell someone "Don't bore Nina!").

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer are supposedly giving it another go, but we're a little suspicious about the perfect timing to line up with his new album release. Plus, behind the scenes at a New Moon cast photo shoot, and Britney Spears edges out Angelina Jolie to be named mom of the year in a UK poll. Watch sneak peeks of Christina Aguilera on Project Runway and the The Vampire Diaries flashback episode.

This week's challenge on Project Runway put the contestants to the test of recycling a wedding dress from women who were divorced (by the way, did Tim Gunn repeatedly referring to the women as divorcees just seem so very . . .

The challenge was all about blue on last night's Project Runway. The remaining designers were teamed up in groups of two to create a pair of blue looks for Macy's Ink — so the real challenge was about being commercial friendly — and the winner gets to design a dress for the actual line. Everything being variations on the same shade made for an even playing ground for the contestants, unlike last week's all-over-the-map movie genre challenge.

This week Project Runway embraced its new LA surroundings with a movie genre-themed challenge. From sci-fi to period pieces to film noir, the designers each have to embrace a type of film in their design. John Varvatos, Zoe Glassner, and costume designer Arianne Phillips are the guest judges alongside Heidi in her sequin leggings.

Eva Longoria and Tommy Hilfger took their runway-side seats to judge this week's episode of Project Runway. The designers took on one of their toughest challenges yet, as they crafted beautiful garments made only from newspaper. I was impressed with everyone this week, though the challenge loser was pretty obvious.

Now that Project Runway has lost a few contestants, it's getting easier to focus on the designers that are still in the running. Last night we got a peek inside Epperson's family life as he and the rest of the designers made dresses for their models to wear to a party. I actually didn't think there were any huge fails this week, but sometimes playing it safe is enough to send you packing.
