Project Runway

xpost looking online the PR episodes from season 8 onward are a little over 60 minutes as opposed to ~40 minutes. That is way too much filler.

grr last year's PR (only halfway through!) is starting to severely overrate the one designer I'm kind of aesthetically opposed to. they did a video game character challenge and just handed her the win even though the other two at the top were entirely and demonstrably better. why did they have to keep Nina around lol

oh yeah Hester's thing was super tiresome.

thank GOD she did not win (although her final runway contained arguably her best work of the series), still would have preferred to see Bishme's runway

anyway

the winner was ordained from the second episode of the series onward. tt and i looked at each other. he was the one

onto the 2019/2020 season next I guess! no spoilers pretty please. keep spoilering how ghastly Making The Cut was though, I'm enjoying it

omfg both the winner and the elimination in Episode 2 of the latest PR season are so awful I'd almost call it a shark-jump. yeah they can redeem themselves when Devlin hopefully wins the series but Marquise was I so not kid probably my least favourite look and he took the damn thing, and Veronica is a better designer than at least half the room. absolutely insane taste-level fail from the entire judging panel

again, please no spoilers, but omg

lol I guess those were spoilers from me tho. uh-oh

what is the JUDGING in this season wtf

delvin and brittany sitting there 'safe' open-mouthed while the horrifyingly-restored marquise is, somehow, one of the TOP looks is kind of iconic tbf but really, what absolute trash

this series is solid-gold cast-iron bullshit

yeah, i wasn't a fan. and aren't the episodes entirely too long?

they are but the main problem is that they keep liking stuff by absolutely shitty designers, they brought back Marquise and his TERRIBLE boring aesthetic because Dayoung dropped out and now he has OUTLASTED Delvin I am fucking outraged also Sergio is the biggest cunt they've ever had on the show and Nancy is starting to irritate me and I have some time for Victoria but she should have gone instead of Delvin and basically Delvin is the best and if the winner isn't one of Geoffrey or Brittany then frankly I am dead

it is *outrageous* that on this season of extremely mediocre designers, Delvin has finished 7th

have you ever watched the old project runways from australia or canada? they are so much better than the new season.

no...but let alone that, S17 was so much better than this season! and it had goddamn Hester in it the whole way!

oh wow i loved the australia one. it was so campy.

lol Australia does a few things better tbf (Married At First Sight being the pinnacle)

Delvin is the only person to have been eliminated in the past 3 episodes. This is NONSENSE

Delvin and Chelsey the only two to have been eliminated for 5 episodes!

i kind of want to say you could just skip to the end. because it was not a great season at al.

ding ding ding

the show went from awful to amazing during the final elimination for some reason and a great final, so um...otm :)

we had to wade through an awful lot of NONSENSE to get there though!

if this isn't too great a spoiler, was *amazed* by how good Nancy was by the end

Watching Making the Cut finally. Saw the winner's collection on Amazon. I am horrified about how trash it is. It is sooooooo bad. Most things about the actual show are pretty good though, otm posts about it above.

I never finished it, I just couldnt get down with the bizarre & arbitrary judging, it really bugged me

when i saw who won i had doubts that i would be able to finish it. but i am more in it for the scenic views now. They are just heading to Tokyo.

Making The Cut Season 2 on July 16th!

No Naomi Campbell though - she's not willing to gamble catching covid-19 and risk losing her career. And we're getting Jeremy Scott and Winnie Harlow who I think will make up for it. I didn't finish her season of ANTM but I remember Harlow being fantastically rich in personality on ANTM.

Season 2 of Making The Cut has started, first two episodes available. The pandemic is real and apparent - there's no travelling to amazing locations, but the "ranch" they're filming in looks incredible and expensive. It's a very well-cast line-up. There's a mix of exciting clothes and talent, and personalities you want to see win or really hate, which sounds really obvious for this kind of show but it's actually hard to do well. There's been some great looks already, especially Andrea's bridal trousers, and I don't disagree with any of the eliminations yet.

bridal trousers?

yes, trousers that a bride could wear, bridal trousers

Ah, bridal trousers.

gonna trust leading trouser expert boxedjoy on this one tbh

this week's episodes were hilarious. Tim's critiques! Jeremy's speech! The poor management! The modelling! The judges' decisions!

Im sure we all love Gary, right? My wife texted a friend of hers and mentioned she was watching and discovered her friend is college buddies with him. He was, surprise, completely goth in college.

Holy shit the cast of PR this season is insufferable and I’m only 20 minutes into the premier
