Dear Project Runway Gods: Thank you so much for this latest elimination. Though I didn’t really care that much who you go rid of, I am please with your choice, mostly because I can’t spell worth a darn, especially when the word I’m spelling has been gutted of any sensible character pairings. I am in your debt. – Sarah

This is the greatest morning ever.

I never have to look up the spelling of Qristyl again.

EVER.

No more fumbling on my keyboard, looking for letters that don’t go together in any other language, let alone English.

YES.

Qristyl was sent packing after making a little black dress that managed to age her model about 15 years “in dog years,” according to host Heidi Klum. Hmmm, bad news when the outfit in question was commissioned by the model to wear to an industry party where she needed to stand out.

Standing out as double your age at an industry party isn’t exactly going to win you any jobs.

See ya, Qristyl. And her poor, older-looking model.

The LBD gone wrong was just one of several poorly conceived ideas in this week’s elimination challenge. Mostly because they were the models’ ideas, rather than the designers’. Yes, “Project Runway” does something like this every season, a challenge where designers must struggle to match the client’s ideas with their own aesthetic. It’s nearly sent home many a great designer who couldn’t do that task (I still shudder at the idea of Christian Siriano getting sent home because of a know-it-all teen and her mousse-brown prom dress. Glad the judges saw the light and gave him a pass and let him stay!).

Getting the most difficult tasks (i.e., most difficult model demands) were Shirin, whose model wanted to look like the disco queen of Arabia in a royal blue jumper with gold ropes; Logan, who was assigned a girl whose tastes are about 50 years older than his; and Epperson, whose model threw out every mismatched adjective she knew to describe a look and then added the word “orange.”

YIKES.

Added to the wash of crazy was the fact that this was the designers’ first one-day challenge, meaning that they only had until midnight to get the thing done. My first thought when they said it was a one-day challenge and that the show would be the next morning was: “What industry party happens at 10 a.m.?” Turns out the looks never got to an industry party (bummer, I would have loved the mingling) during the episode (though this might have been explored further in “Models of the Runway”; however, that’s past my bedtime).

Of the designers with the toughest tasks, both Shirin and Epperson decided it was more important to do something they liked than create the tackiness their models seemed to love. Apparently, that was the smartest move, because Logan relented to the demands of his Katy Perry clone of a model and went for a full skirt with black lace that just looked like goth prom Barbie or something. Would she stand out at the party that never happened? Yes. Would it be a good kind of standout performance? Nope.

And poor Logan, he of the Cary Elwes face mixed with the fisherman’s style of Jimmy on “Harper’s Island.” (In all seriousness, he could have been the inspiration for Jimmy, since he’s from Seattle and this show was filmed like a year before “Harper’s” aired, but whatever.) The guy looks more grunge band than designer, but he seems nice and earnest and actually isn’t too bad to look at.

In any case, I can spell his name, so I do think I was silently rooting for him when he ended up in the bottom with two very drab dresses (Qristyl’s and Johnny’s bridesmaid dresses).

Luckily, the “Project Runway” gods were smiling down. Clearly, they all couldn’t spell her name either.

Random thoughts:

• Althea won the challenge with her cute three-piece look. Her model looked great, but Althea still looks like she needs a makeover herself.

• Epperson’s days are definitely numbered even though he did well in this challenge. They’ve already showed him crying while talking on speakerphone (it is a reality show, after all) to his family.

• Shirin seemed a little less Tracy Flick and a lot more likable this time around. Thank goodness.

• I kind of liked the entire panel of guest judges better than any of the regular folks. Jennifer Rade was harsh and funny, and Marc Bouwer was more coiffed than any woman I know.

• Another sign Qristyl was ready to go home? She said her model liked “warm colors” like “chocolate brown and black” … OK, um, when I think warm colors, I think oranges and yellows and other colors smack dab in the middle of Qristyl’s aesthetic. But I’m glad you’re colorblind, chica.
