No reality TV show can really call itself worthy of the name without at least one tear-streaked, red-faced, expletive-laden meltdown — the more out of left field, the better. And 2011 was chockablock with them, from Snooki on Jersey Shore to Taylor Armstrong on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, from Meat Loaf on Celebrity Apprentice to Maksim Chmerkovskiy on Dancing With the Stars. Let us count the ways:

Project Runway, as always, is a good mix of big, bitchy personalities and some great design. And that.s exactly what Season 9 provided. I was particularly intrigued by Bert Keeter, the recovering, fifty-something alcoholic who twirled with Halston at Studio 54 during the coke-tastic .70s. This guy has lived! I especially liked how everyone hated him at first and couldn.t understand where the hell he was coming from (i.e. the coke-tastic .70s), but then grew to love him like the passive-aggressive den mama he was born to be....

New York -- Fashion Week and TV came together Friday (Sept. 9) at Lincoln Center for "Project Runway's" finale, with nine designers presenting their collections, ranging from the elegant to the strange.
Though no one theme ruled the runway, the event featured an abundance of flowing clothes; some accessorized with blue wrists and gladiator cuff bracelets. Metallic dresses and shorts remain popular as do completely sheer tops. Apparently, for now, bras and camisoles are out.
"We have been very tough on them, especially me, so I have learned," host and "Project Runway" judge Heidi Klum -- stunning in a backless, black sequined halter and pants -- says of this season's assortment of contestants.
Up first was Laura Kathleen. Like many of the designers, she mentions how seeing her creations on the catwalk is a lifelong ambition.
"I've been dreaming about this moment since I was 13," Kathleen says, explaining that her collection is for "everyday women.

Jennifer Love Hewitt, Malin Akerman & More Stars Step Out For ‘Project Runway’ Season 9 Finale Show!
The finalists of ‘Project Runway’ prepared for the biggest moment of their careers this afternoon. Lucky for them, tons of supportive stars stepped out to watch these up-and-coming designers present their amazing spring collections!
Jennifer Love Hewitt, Malin Akerman and Heidi Klum are among of the few A-listers who sat front row at the show.
Heidi looked stunning, donning a black-sequins jumpsuit as she judged the season 9 finale of Project Runway.
But the real stars were the designers who have been competing all year to win Project Runway. Anya Ayoung-Chee rocked the stage showing off an array of wild prints inspired by her Spanish hometown, Port-of-Spain the capital of Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
Finalist Olivier Green‘s collection was very futuristic — along with her models! And Bert Keeter‘s collection was very chic and sleek!
But overall Kimberly Goldson‘s clothes were a crowd’s favorite. Her collection was...

Season Nine of Project Runway is well underway, and after five episodes, there are still five members of Team Gay left.
Because the early going is basically just whittling down the cast to a reasonable number, we're going to eschew a regular recap and just focus on the highlights. (And many thanks to Ae reader Miz Liz for continuing the recaps in the forums while we were taking a sabbatical).
Seen And Not Heard
This week's competition involves working with children. *shudder* But wait! These aren't ordinary kids, they're art students, so the annoyance level is at a reasonable decibel. The kids create a painting for each designer, and that designer has to use the painting to create something avant-garde for the runway. I was crushed that they didn't have to literally use the painting. I would've given anything to see the models try to navigate the runway with their heads poking through.

When you're striving to separate yourself from the pack on a reality show competition, having to work with a partner can be a tough proposition. That seems especially true on 'Project Runway' (Thursdays, 9Pm on Lifetime), where it's difficult enough turning your style into an actual physical piece of clothing without having to meld that with someone else's ideas. Viktor Luna and Bert Keeter struggled with that tension on Thursday's episode, and didn't exactly rise to the occasion.
The pair partnered to make what looked like two different dresses on the top and bottom, and argued over it throughout the whole process. "I wanted to do a contemporary look, and he was that, 'Well, I really think we should do this,'" said Keeter. "And I had some other idea, and, no, 'this is what we have to do.'" Luna, of course, saw just the opposite,...

Pet Project
This week's competition takes the designers to a pet store, where Tim Gunn tells them that this is one of Project Runway's "unconventional challenges." Wait, aren't most of them? The have to design an outfit made entirely of pet products, but makes a point again that it should be "unconventional," something that one poor Mormon boy should've listened to.
Honey Badger Don't Give A Sh*T
Bert Keeter became an instant audience favorite with his win last week, but apparently he believes that "immunity" means "i'll just take this challenge off." He was shockingly apathetic, and even admitted as much.
