Rubbernecking Recap: Project Runway #13, "Final Four"

Holly Cara Price | Posted 12.23.2011

The episode where Tim visits the finalists at home is always one of my very favorites. I love seeing Tim traipsing around the Midwest or some other area where he looks completely out of place. I love it when he does things we never see him do ordinarily.
