Project Runway Season 13: The Posen-ing/The Klum-ening/etc (Premieres July 24)

Also - rewatching on On Demand and I just figured out who Amanda looks like. Exactly. Harry Connick Jr.

lol

Can't unsee it.

Harry Connick Amanda

oh holy shit

What is it with the designers this season and peplums (pepla?)? They're ugly as sin, stop it!

yeah char especially needs a peplum intervention

looooool Korina
Was that the most ungracious exit from PR ever or what?

And according to the preview for next week, we've got more Korina drama coming because those bastards at Bunim/Murray apparently decides to pair current designers with eliminated ones, Char's being Korina, of course

Anyway, I almost fell off my couch w/:

Korina: You shouldn't be here! You got eliminated!
Char: Don't point your finger at me! I'm still here!
K: This isn't about you, okay?

I mean, that had to be creative editing, no one is that awful, right

lol i didn't watch the preview, that is too much

god she is the WORST

if you want to show what a good designer you are maybe show how well you can use an hour by being efficient & not do a 16 piece pattern jfc

i wish emily had bailed on her in disgust

Here I was convinced that she was getting the redemption arc! lol whoops. TBH I liked her and Emily's mini-collection, but then I guess the producers wanted to inject MOAR DRAMA and got what they wanted.

Korina: You shouldn't be here! You got eliminated!
Char: Don't point your finger at me! I'm still here!
K: This isn't about you, okay?

LOVED THIS. I pray that it was real because it's just too rich.

The soccer ball dress was overpraised IMO -- the triangular bits that were glued(?) on cheapened the look. I liked the Frank top on Amanda's, though.

Kornina's freak out should be required viewing for Kindergarteners not wanting to grow up to be unsympathetic egomaniacs.

omfg loooooololol

Heavens, I mean this is beyond producer trolling (Tim Gunn save PLUS extra 10 minutes that one time PLUS going back to make another dress) I mean come onnnn they really do NOT want to send Char home and it's at the point where it's really kind of hysterically funny how ridiculous and obvious they're being about it and also how hard they're really digging into Korina.

As much as I'm delighted w/ the outcome bcz it made such great television (and also PR has not-all-that-much to do w/ rewarding ppl for making the best clothes), does Korina not kind of have a point that it's sort of insane for Char to still be here when her shit really is pretty inferior to Korina's?

She has a point that's relevant to a competition where contestants advance on merits rather than dramatic potential. Of course, that's not what Project Runway is.

all of this is way otm

100% of my problem with Korina is/was her level of trashtalking/attitude measured against her output

She never had nearly the level of talent she said she had, she was nowhere near Kini or Sean for repeated wins. Every other week she wrote checks her mouth could not cash, and we're still waiting to see the ~amazing~ designer she's supposed to be

If you are going to come in with your ego on blast you better be pulling blowing judges minds every time a you're up there or else stow the verbal touchdown celebrations & smacktalk until you *actually* win

I mean she's bringing Jeffrey-levels shade & she's barely up to the standard of christing Daniel Franco

Ok now that Char is at Fashion Week, the judges can stop pretending thet love her stuff, right?

the last 9 designers or something go to fashion week anyway, so the whole thing seems kind of pointless (ie: Korina showed at Fashion Week. And everyone shows anonymously).

i am so close to hating this show now

If you (and I) came back after Anya won, we will come back after this season, and we'll probably even watch All Stars after this, too.

sigh

true

but i want to go on the record as saying fuck this stupid show & the three ring circus it's become

With you there!

Not watching finale tonight having just caught up with the penultimate episode, but Sean's going to win this walking away and backwards.

unless we all get mega trolled & char wins the whole kaboodle

Right, but that's a pretty remote chance IMO because they'd never go so far as to reward someone with such obvious design deficiencies and

ahhhh nm.

allstars starts next week tho
:D

amanda's collection was p gross imo

I didn't like Amanda's collection at all, either. Ugh.
I loved Sean's collection, and I'm glad he won, but then, I love fringe, and I love orange, and I love cute young boys with accents so there ya go.
His final look (the long orange dress) was just beautiful.
There were things in both Kini's and Char's collections that I liked very much and that I would wear.

E! is showing a marathon of Season 4 today, apparently as a tie-in to their upcoming new series "House of DVF"!!!!!!

yea im fine w sean winning just off his last orange 1 m/l
i liked a lot of kinis, id of put him > amanda def

i liked kini's but it wasn't enough. i wish it was more fanciful & fashiony, he's SO good., sean's was p amaze tho, that orange dress was a showstopper.

amanda's even looked poorly made, all the puckering with that color blocking ... and the color choices were just yuk

char's was good but I felt bad for her, that they dragged her all the way tp that stage only to tell her what we already knew, that she's not ready for primetime. it felt kinda cruel imo
but she is p boss as a person & i love her style

i am just annoyed that the quality of the collections seems to dwindle each year

they've pushed out almost any possible chance for high fashion/major creativity to show it's head now, like jay or siriano would have been sent home by ep 6

Yawn.

allstars starts next week tho

Seriously?? Are they just bringing back this season's cast and calling them All-Stars? I'm more excited for the Reunion.

My favorite part of this season was Tim Gunn and Kini standing in front of the Coliseum and Tim saying "So, how inspiring is this??" and Kini in flatly responding in complete monotone with "Oh my gosh, it's so inspiring."

looolotm

cant see Project Runway: Threads w/o thinking of http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/35/Threadsmoviecover.jpg

allstars is cool but

helen

uuuuuughhhhhhhh god i almost forgot can't stand her

crushing on fabio tho

ben is still a twit, good to know

Do I want to watch All-Stars? So burned out this show.

idk

it's not terrible. plus isaac & alyssa are kinda good

Have I been missing out on All-Stars?

yes and no

i'm actually enjoying it, and pregnant alyssa milano is supercute... but it's not exactly must-watch tv

idk, aside from Sanijay and Dmitry there's not really anyone who I'm like 'oh I can't wait to see what they make', and for the most part they're kind of trotting out the designs they're all expected to make

helen makes gown
kate makes bridal fairy party
fabio makes some kind of tunic/pant deal that's meant to be worn without shoes
etc

Oh hay Michelle and Chris March are back, maybe I'll give it a whirl after all.
