'Project Runway' Finalist Christian Stuns Fashion World By Removing Glasses And Revealing Himself To Have Been Posh Spice All Along

If you simply, absolutely must see what the final five Project Runway contestants (Sweet P, Christian, Rami, Jillian, and Chris) sent down the catwalk today at their New York's Fashion Week shows, there's plenty of photos at Getty Images. The only thing we're going to spoil for you, however, is contained in the photo above, featuring the show's beloved panel, and guest finale judge Victoria Beckham, rocking an orange kimono dress and steadfastly adhering to her 24-hour grimace policy. It's a portrait of such feroche fiercosity, forgive us while we react to it the only we know how—with a stream-of-consciousness regurgitation of every Runway cliché we can think of:

Make it work! Where's Andrae?! Models, this is also a challenge for you as well! TRESemme Hair Salon and Loreal Make-Up Room! Hi guys! You have 30 minutes to sketch! Fierce! That collar is matronly! Mood Fabrics! Designers, we're going on a field trip! I'm concerned! One day you're in, the next day you're out! I'm just thinking about what the judges will say! It looks expensive! [Indecipherable Austin Scarlett squeal]! You haven't seen the last of [insert name of person you'll never hear from again]! Auf Wiedersehen!

I'm surprised Jillian didn't make it. And if Rami isn't summarily dismissed, I call foul since it's clear the only reason his one-trick-draping-pony-ass is still there is because Nina Garcia wants on.

WHERE IS THE FUCKING SPOILER WARNING, PEOPLE!? Way to totally ruin next week's episode. I have been deliberately avoiding any PR Fashion Week coverage for this exact reason, and y'all had to splash it all over the place. Totally. Not. Cool. Like, at all.

According the NY TIMES coverage, all five that are currently STILL IN PLAY showed today. Including Jillian, who is not mentioned in this story. So who's right, who's wrong and who's been auffed?

@bestdamnedtapper: Everyone take a deep breath. I left out Jillian by mistake. All five showed at Bryant Park. Our server is jammed so it's not updating.

@Muhlyssa: PR regularly has the next-to-last eliminated designer do a fake show at Fashion Week (like Kara from Season 2) to throw off spoilers. Spoilers EXACTLY like the one we've all just involuntarily been subjected to. Sheesh!

@Seth: Oh, you're forgiven already. You all do terrific work. But if there was any post that asked for a drama queen reaction, well, this was it.

BestDamnedTapper, I know. I was just pointing out that the author of this article made a mistake, his leaving out Jillian was just an error as evidenced by his correction. Settle down woman and don't believe everything you read on the Internets. Defamer doesn't have any insight into who's shows were real and which were red herrings.

@icallthebigonebitey:

What is it with Nina and the flyaways? Doesn't she watch the show? They aren't that hard to control are they?

Michael, what's up with the scarf?! When I see pictures of you looking as, well, PLAIN as all that, I wonder if I should be spending the money your signature line of bunion pads at Target after all.

The obligatory "That posh girl needs to eat" comment - It looks like the guest judge is a famine victim wrapped in an bright orange emergency blanket.

I really hope little Christian isn't rewarded for his constant bitch 'tude. GO.....um.....I really have no fave this round.

I too am sad that I have no particular fave this time...tho none of mine won but came like second, third etc. I want to feed Christian weed..killer in small doses, just enough for him to stop thinking it is a. amusing or b. retro to say 'fierce' constantly. Tim is more loverly than EVER tho...I think it makes up for it and for Heidi's wilful inablilty to get impregnated for the season

Here we have Posh Spice wearing the latest in women's Cal Trans road crew uniforms. She's ready to pick up trash and cut down weeds along the PCH.

@NoReally: If I had to be photographed next to a supermodel, I'd be pissed, too. Heidi makes her look like an elf.

Does Posh's right hip bone bother anyone else? It's so... pointy. She looks like she's stabbing Heidi.

NoReally: Indeed, unfortunately, I bet she picked it out.

Posh always reminds me of something I read on the internets about her:

"Two oranges floating in a pool of motor oil". HOW did this woman get chosen as some herald of high fashion?

@Seth: THANK GOD I ALMOST DIED.

Is it sad that, as much as I am into the current presidential race, Project Runway means so much more?

And since when are there five finalists? How did I miss this?

Also, you left out, (although matronly is very closely related), "It's so MOB - Mother of the Bride."

Who's the drag queen draped in Orange?

Nina: Ricky, I HATE that color. (Eliminates Ricky.)

Posh: (Wears that color.)

In all seriousness, though, I have to hand it to Posh for being so horrifyingly ugly yet having the courage to leave the house.
