Will Ricky be squashed like a bug in week 10?

My pleas to the PR gods fell on deaf ears. Not only did Ricky make the cut in episode nine, he was the winner of the challenge.

Just keep pouring salt on those wounds, Project Runway.

With a week in between to calm down - and remind myself that there's no immunity left after this point - I'm ready go make another bold prediction. Week 10 is Ricky's week to leave. I feel it in my tears.

The Losers (so far): Simone, Carmen, Steven, Marion, Jack, Elisa, Kevin, Kit, Victorya

The Which-Judge-Did-You-Bribe-To-Stay-On-This-Show Division
Ricky

Dark Horses
Chris: He got knocked for his dress by the judges, but these are the same people who went ga-ga over Ricky so… yeah.
Sweet P: Somehow she managed to turn the patchwork denim "wedding dress" into something that didn't look like it belonged in a white trash convention.

The Contenders
Jillian: The '80s gem stripe on the jean jacket was a bit much and her freaking out reached new levels, but she has heart and talent.
Rami: The zipper-trimmed dress was vintage Jeffrey Sebelia. And, there was no draping!

The Juggernaut
Christian: His outfit was near perfect. Even if he lost to Ricky, Christian is the only one consistently placing in the top two - and that practically makes him the Tom Brady of PR. Before the Super Bowl, anyway. (Editors note: My favorable opinion of Christian may change depending on whether he accepts my request to be his "friend" on Facebook).

Project Runway airs tonight at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
