"Project Runway": It's Almost Sew Time!

For four months - as long as the life of this blog - I've been ranting and raving about "Project Runway." Well, that's all about to end. (Cue "Hallelujah" music if you desire).

With four (technically three) contestants left, it's down to the wire, but it may not be that much of a surprise to dedicated watchers of the show. Unlike in season 3, when the winner was as a surprise to most, there's a clear frontrunner this season with Christian - love him or hate him.

If you watched the reunion show or the pre-Bryant Park episode, you know this so far: Sweet P is gone, and tonight Chris and Rami will duke it out for the final spot in the top three. Also, by a landslide, Christian - and not Kevin who was unjustly auf-ed - took home fan favorite. (Editors note: every time I tried to vote on BravoTV.com for the fan favorite, the Web site would kick me off, leaving me disenfranchised).

As talented as Christian is, I do think the judges are blinded by his "fierceness" to some of his faults - can you remember the last time he used any color? From the looks of things, he’s regurgitating the beige-gray-black palette for his final collection in what Entertainment Weekly aptly described as a 17th century Dutch funeral theme. But I think he stands the best chance to take home the final prize and it will be well deserved (For purposes of transparency: I'm still waiting on him to become my "friend" on the Facebook).

Here are my odds.

Christian: 3 to 1 odds
Jillian: 5 to 1
Rami: 7 to 1
Chris: too many to 1 (it's doubtful he'll win the Rami-Chris showdown).

Tonight's episode is part one of the season finale with guest judge Victoria "Posh" Beckham airs at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

"Project Runway" will also have a post-finale special ("It's Sew Not Over") in which 12 of the 15 original contestents will compete for $10,000. Vote for who you'd like to see.
