My most favorite challenges on Project Runway are the group challenges. Wait, redacted…my favorite challenges on any reality show ever in the history of reality shows being a thing, are the group challenges. Yep, that is more accurate. Fighting, drama, back-stabbing, crying and throwing of others under proverbial buses, what more could you want?! When you awkwardly pair up two designers who at this point in the game, know little about each other and the riffraff of design talent has just been skating by in the middle, sparks are bound to fly and maybe even some scissors. Dear God, I hope someone throws some scissors. Are you following me here? It's like a gift from Santa Claus himself and boy oh boy, Christmas has come in January this year.
Tonight's challenge is filled with all the best elements you could possibly imagine but I won't spoil it too terribly much until after the jump. Check out the preview video, a few of the pairings and find out who the guest judge is this week. I may even know who Ben is paired up with, maybe, possibly, but I'm not telling, well I am kinda telling. Just click through, ok?
(Sidenote: I am totally changing up my Fantasy Team with this newfound information, it's that mind-blowing.)
