Previously on Project Runway: The two dozen designers made maternity fashion. Malvin laid an egg and was sent crackin'.

OK, folks, it's like this. I can't cope. Between Top Chef, Project Runway, nice weather and a generally foul mood (despite the nice weather) I need to have a life. Hence, I can't do a real recap this week.

So this is what happened, mini-format-style.

The designers went to the beach. Tim Gunn was in flip-flops. Everyone was stunned.

The designers were split into teams of two. Qrystil and Epperson were a match made in hell and fought all the time. Mitchell The Model Jumper picked Ra'Mon Apostrophé to carry him through the challenge.

The producers attempted to have us believe that a woman in an Angela Davis 'fro was actually a surfer and not a model they picked up somewhere. Meanwhile Tim told the gang that they were to design beach wear.

Once they got going, Tim showed up to "surprise" them with the news that they'd have to make a second, avant-garde look to pair with the beach number.

Ra'Mon did more work. Mitchell sat around and was "funny."

Ra'Mon tried to make a scuba suit which Tim found ridiculous. Ra'Mon sent it to Davy Jones' Locker and started on something new. Later, Tim suggested he bring it back. "That's not helpful," deadpanned Ra'Mon.

Ra'Mon worked until the last second while Mitchell found new, sassy ways to say "Auf wiedersehen."

Carol Hannah's model left the competition because she was thinking Arby's. (Don't ask.)

Carol Hannah led the "awesome" sweepstakes, muttering that gawdawful word some four times in fifteen minutes.

On the runway ...

Nicolas made an avant-garde look that looked like it was straight from the Rock Of Love Bus.

Irina and Johnny made lovely macrame-inspired outfits.

When all was said and done, Ra'Mon and Mitchell were stunned to find themselves as one of the top two teams. And Ra'Mon really freaked out when he learned he was the winner.

But when it came to the questioning Epperson and Qrystil got all snappy with each other, Epperson proving that he's quite the prickly dickhead.

As folks were sent off to safety, we notice that Mitchell hadn't been sent back. The fact that he admitted to only having made a bathing suit which isn't even seen could be a factor here.

In the end, it's Qrystil (undeservedly) and Mitchell (most deservedly) on the runway.

And Heidi makes show history, sending one member of a winning team home, telling Mitchell "three strikes and your out."

Oh, and the models manage to provide all kinds of drama behind the scenes.

But, like I said, I don't have the time for this.
