Not that my love for Christian isn't pure and true, but before Jack went home early on this season of Project Runway he was far and away my favorite! 

Out's Jason Lamphier caught up with him at our Gossip Girl party and did his best to extract a few more insidery details on what to expect from tonight's not-quite-finale.

Out.com: What's the worst rumor you ever spread about someone?
Jack Mackenroth: [Silence]

I'm hoping it was when you were like 12 years old.
Oh. Okay.

Or maybe it was recently? I don't know -- we all have our moments.
I don't really play that game. I just tell the truth. So it wouldn't have been a rumor. People got pissed off at me for saying there were "many sides to Chris March," not just what you see on TV. All his fans attacked me, so I learned not to say that kind of thing.

Who do you think is the least like what they appear to be on the show?
I can't comment on that.

Is it Chris March? If you say you've already said it --
No. Actually I think it's Victoria, because she is delightful and so sweet and nice. She had a few moments -- she's very serious -- and [the producers] like conflict. Without conflict the show wouldn't be. Our cast got along really well, and that was sort of problematic cause there wasn’t all that much drama. We’re all professional adults, so we all really liked each other, for the most part. It's a reality show -- they have to do their thing.

How was the reunion show?
Amazing.

Was it super awkward? Like season one awkward?
No. No. It was fun.

It seemed like there was a lot of camaraderie on the show.
Yeah. Half the cast I love and still keep in touch with.

I think everyone cried when you left.
There were a few people that pretended. There were a couple of people at the end who were like, "Can I have a hug?" And I was like, "You haven't talked to me for three days."

So what's the scoop on Dale from Top Chef? Are you guys still seeing each other?
Yeah. He just was here [in New York].

Rumor has it you guys finally hit it off at the Out 100 party.
We were talking and that's basically when we first met. We met on MySpace -- he lives in Chicago.

You know that Facebook is totally the new MySpace.
You know what? I've invested so much fucking energy in MySpace that I can't be bothered with Facebook!

Will you be my MySpace friend? I have like one -- that guy Tom.
Yeah. If you get lost in it, don't feel bad because I have like 6,000 friends. I get probably 100 a day. But friend me and I'll totally friend you!
