Project Runway All Stars, Season 7

I am. I'm here for dimitri.

Is georgina fucking bulimic or anorexic?

Was that today?

I had no idea this was coming Why didn't DL let me know?

When does the real show start on Bravo?

I can't believe they let that hack Georgina back on.

This was filmed a long time ago r6.

The beautiful Georgina Chapman is wasting away. Eat something, girl.

Surprisingly, Alyssa's styling this episode didn't look bad.

Dimitry's botoxed face is so smooth and shiny, he looks replicant.

SPOILERS AHEAD * * * * * * * * * I've never been a fan of Dimitry's samey samey a-line dresses with the cutouts, and he sends one down the runway that looks like something mamaleh used to wear at the Poconos retreat... and he wins! Why do the judges have such a hardon for his designs? The dress looked old.

Anya lucks out again with a safe design. Anthony's was just awful. Either of the two should've gone home.

Why the surprise additions? These two didn't participate in the first challenge. That's not fair.

Thoughts...

1. I love the concept of the season. I was worried that awful Brandon who attached useless straps to everything he made would be brought in as an “all star.” I like that it’s not only all winners, but half international ones. And I like the cast.

2. I am sad for Anthony Ryan. He is still young and I remember when I lost my grandmother around his age and was totally devastated. I could not have done something like PR immediately afterward. What terrible timing for him. And you can tell from his face that the feelings are real.

3. Irina did make a chicken costume but it was the only fun thing on the runway.

4. Even if it was recorded a while back, I am shocked to see Georgina “The Accomplice” Weinstein presenting herself so arrogantly. I can’t pretend I don’t know what I know.

5. I’ve always felt like Dmitry is attractive in a creepy way, mainly because he reminds me of Marilyn Manson. But yeah, the Botox comment above is right. He seems to be puffed up with facial fillers (Why?) and I think he’s really...pretty now. I get a “transitioning” vibe between the soft face and the hair.

6. I like the challenge in theory, but they should have found a different way to approach “global” than “your country of origin.” The implication for many of the American-born people is that they should have chosen pre-US origins, as Seth Aaron did Scottish and Spanish, but then the Canadian and Australian ones did their countries of birth instead and Seth Aaron made the unfortunate “Texas Cherokee” choice, which today is fuel to be torn apart in the media if anyone is watching. (American Indian identity is a hot issue right now.) It was great for people like Irina and Dmitry, who can trace their heritage so directly, but kind of a weird thing for the other American people IMO. “Country of origin” to all the foreign winners means “country in which you won,” and for the Americans seems to have meant “country from which your family immigrated.” Blah. And speaking of Americans’ origins...no black people? This would have been an awkward challenge for black contestants, but the lack of black people is kind of jarring, especially following the last All Stars season in which three of four finalists was black.

“I feel like real me.”

R9 what I don't get is that in that ridicoulous vogue interview she did, she went full ignorant. Why didn't she admit she got with him for her career and easy access to celebrities, she knew her was most likely unfaithful but didn't see him being a rapist? It's what everyone already knows and she wouldve gotten more respect of she told the truth and would've been easier for her to have a comeback.

It was obvious that Dimitri would win, because one of the perks this season is JCPenny releasing a commercialized design (aka limited edition version) on their site after the episode aired. No way would they have been able to do that with, say, Irina's look.

Evan Biddell. Wow. What a hot bear. Sean Kelly, hotter than ever (at least to me).

Love the concept of an international all-stars winner season.

How exciting to be included in the JC Penney collection.

Someone link to the outfit on JC PENNY!

The guest judge's introduction and her entrance, from the first episode, is everything.

This season looks like to be the gayest season ever. Including the legandary cocksucking Anya (of course, she STILL can't sew, that bitch!)!

Sorry, LEGENDARY Anya

Anya confessed quickly to not knowing how to sew. I imagine they will eviscerate her for it within a week or two and dismiss her as per the production schedule.

JC Penney doesn’t appear to have put up Dmitry’s dress for sale.

I'm impressed Anya was willing to compete again. She is so heavily mocked as such an deserving winner with limited skills, I wouldn't think she would want to compete again.

Undeserving*

It is embarrassing that as you try to promote this prestigious all winners season...you have them working with a low rent sponsor like JCPenny. But these are business decisions that are made to appeal to the lifetime demographic, not made in the name of fashion

Deb Messing must have written her own introduction. It was hilariously over the top.

This is a really great idea for a season. I wish it was being done with Nina, Heidi and Tim though and not the all star cast, then it would really feel right and special.

[quote]It was obvious that Dimitri would win, because one of the perks this season is JCPenny releasing a commercialized design (aka limited edition version) on their site after the episode aired. No way would they have been able to do that with, say, Irina's look.

I had the same thought! The winning look being produced by JCPenny means it must have commercial appeal, something avant garde like Irina's look would never be touched by JCPenny. That throws a real wrench into things, I will be watching closely to see if it biases the judging.

After unfairly crowning Anthony Ryan over Uli and Emilio in the biggest bullshit judging in PR history, Isaac is STILL sucking Anthony Ryan's dick. "A fraction of Anthony Ryan's attention is worth more than some of these designers". Fucking christ, that is an embarrassing statement to come from the mouth of a judge IMO.

[quote]And speaking of Americans’ origins...no black people?

That is odd, I would have loved see Dom! I'm sure she was asked and didn't want to come back.

Now that I think about it. The only black winners in PR have been Don and then Anthony who won the last season of all stars. They only 2 they could have picked from.

[quote]Why the surprise additions? These two didn't participate in the first challenge. That's not fair.

That just felt lame and awkward. Why add those two after the first challenge? What purpose does that serve?

Fuck Anya and her draping copout bullshit.

SPOILER ALERT (stop reading now before anything is ruined but it's been 24 hours since the episode so whatever): How in the hell did Anya get a pass on that draped shit show? I know it's easy to say "I could've done that" but I literally could've done that. She draped a few swathes of fabric over her model's shoulders just like she did in every challenge in her winning season. Did she fuck Weinstein? Was her season during the Weinstein years?

That said, I saw her leaked porn tapes and will admit she takes it up the ass like a pro (it was sorta sexy), but does that constitute a season win and a first-episode pass?

Whatever, I'm looking forward to this season because I have very little to look forward to at the moment. Even Mizrahi was all, "What the fuck is this shit?"

PS: Go Dmitry, you got this. Fuck you Seth Aaron -- no way you're not gay.

How Anya won season 9 when she never didn't even know how to make a garment with SLEEVES has always been a mystery.

R21 You said it -- the way Messing was introduced, you'd think she cured cancer and was some how a recent EGOT recipient. She got lucky on one sitcom. There's a reason why she's never been on anything of substance since. That red tent she was wearing fooled no one.

Holy Shit! Talk about an embarrassing shit show

[quote]Thank you for your interest in our past collaboration with Project Runway. Season 7 was taped before our collaboration with the show was discontinued. We will not be producing winning looks from the show’s designers and apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Okay, I'm totally confused. According to this story, the new season starts tonight at 9 EST on Lifetime, yet my onscreen guide for Lifetime has "Surviving R. Kelly" or some shit. So which is it? Guess I'll tune in in 5 minutes to find out.

Your own link says Wednesday r29, that being yesterday.

[quote]In the meantime, fans get a chance to say goodbye when the final season of Project Runway All Stars kicks off on Wednesday, Jan. 2 at 9 p.m. ET on Lifetime.

You can catch it online.

Okay, sorry, my bad. Today is the 3rd, not the 2nd, so it premiered last night. Hopefully, they'll rerun it this weekend.

Thank you, R30. Don't know why I was thinking today was the 2nd. I'll check it out online.

I'm rooting for Dmitry because he was my mom's favorite. She had a big crush on him. She died a few years ago, so I'll take up the mantle and join his fan club.

Sean was on the first season I watched so I kind of like him too.

I hope Evan sticks around a while. He's cute.

I think Seth Aaron is incredibly talented. I actually wonder why he didn’t have real mainstream success. His clothes are really beautiful, yet edgy.

Dmitry's aesthetic is not my thing. I didn't like his winning collections on Project Runway or his All Stars season. I do really enjoy him as a reality TV contestant, but as a designer he does little for me.

[quote]Fuck you Seth Aaron -- no way you're not gay.

Funny that some people think Seth Aaron is gay. Perhaps my gaydar is off-kilter but I never really got that vibe from him.

Anya's dress looked like anything you could pick up at a tourist shop at the beach. They had $200 to spend on fabric and it just didn't show with a lot of the designs.

Why did Dmitry mess with his pretty face? If he is going to skew all of his designs to be sold to the masses that shop at JCP, then it's going to be a big yawn. Now Penney's isn't even going to be producing any of the designs? Very shambolic. Is this going to be JCP's last season as well?

Evan from Canada is kind of amusing. I hope he hangs around for a while.

It's kind of bad for the last two that got added because they're at a disadvantage, having sewn one less project than the others.

If you like Evan it is worth watching his season of Project Runway, it's a good season.

That and season 2 of PR Australia (whose winner unfortunately isn't here) are my favorite international versions I have seen.

r38, thank you for your recommendation.

Holy Shit, indeed! You can bet that it's still going to get mentioned throughout the season (the JC Penny collaboration). Is anyone from the cast even promoting this season in the entertainment, or social, media? So embarrassing!

The franchise being pulled away from Lifetime and sold back to BRAVO really fucked things up. And I've got to be honest, at least on All-Stars you got some great openly gay winners.

The funny thing is that Debra Messing's guest judge appearance was filmed BEFORE Will & Grace returned to TV with its season 9.

I didn’t like the Aussie girls on either of their local seasons

You’re sweet, r33. Go Dmitri!

Anya got along really well with Tim Gunn, I think that helped her.

[Quote]Is anyone from the cast even promoting this season in the entertainment, or social, media?

Yeah, of course they are.

Anya seems okay as a person but she needs to be the first eliminated.

I think Anya was a Harvey Girl, because come on. . . .

No way did Harvey bother with somone like Anya. Heidi Klum? Very likely, but not someone like Anya with no real acting ambition.

Lifetime was going to build a brand around Anya, but that fell to pieces when her porn past leaked. That's why she won her season. She was basically picked as the winner from the get go.

You know, most competition shows are about the personalities or image of the contestants and what that winner will do for the show. People bitch about how RuPaul decides the winner well in advance, but that's par for the course. And of course, sometimes a contestant will break out and they're chosen.

Project Runway is a long way away from being about fashion. Which is why they get and lose the sponsors they get.

Think of Top Chef, a show that has way more prestige and you no longer get contestants like "Steak Sammich" and everybody now either runs their own place or has worked with high end chefs.

Anya can mix patterns but that's about it.

Irina’s look was interesting, but would have been less chicken-y had she left off the hood. Seth’s look was edgy and cool...

IMO the hoodie made Irina's look avant garde in a good way. With more time that look would have been stunning, a serious show stopper.

*Except* they were told JC Penney was going to produce the look and that was a difficult design to mass produce.

[quote]No way did Harvey bother with somone like Anya. Heidi Klum? Very likely, but not someone like Anya with no real acting ambition.

Harvey wasn't just hitting up on only actresses. He was hitting on a lot of women on the set of project runway. He used that show as a pipeline to meet chicks. Anya, no sewing ass, could easily have been a contestant on the show but a winner?

Nope.

I can’t understand why Lifetime wouldn’t pony up a little cash for an editor to take out the mentions of JC Penney. How embarrassing and low end. Possibly even more than trying to make avant garde Dixie Cups runway couture.

They were told JC Penny's would be producing a version of EVERY winning look this season r52. You really expect them to do commercial designs for each challenge? This wasn't a ready-to-wear challenge.

Bravo is already starting to promote Project Runway. Not going to let Lifetime have their last moment with the franchise lol.

What day is this on? Thursdays?

What is google?

Irina’s dress was truly hideous.

Ugh, flashes of Anthony Ryan's All Star season where he gets wildly over praised for his crap. I'm glad at least the guest judges were there to say they didn't like it all that much.

Sunny's dress was very nice and I want to see more from him, but I can't fault the judges for kicking him off. When you ignore what you are asked to do in the challenge you are asking for it. It was a challenge about using colors ya idiot.

Look, Anya made something very simple, pretty and flowy. Shocker.

Seth Aaron is tragically impressed with himself. He looks like on of those 40 year old men trying to be goth.

Seth Aaron Henderson is dancing a little gig that you thought he looked 40, he is close to 50.

[quote]Irina’s dress was truly hideous.

After these first two runways I'm dying to see what she does next though.

I didn't like any of the top looks, especially Anthony Ryan's. I liked Jasper's design and it should've been the winning look.

The most hideous design of the night was Anne Fulenwider's top. How can she be dispensing advice when she chose [italic]that[/italic] to wear?

I don't understand what Sunny was thinking. If the challenge is to incorporate two graduation class colors in your design, use two colors! That was the point of the challenge.

This season is such a mess between the appearance of Madame Weinstein, the JC Penney fuckup, the random addition of two additional contestants as a “twist” (?). The school colors challenge seemed random...even the judges couldn’t agree on what a graduation party dress is even supposed to be. The Gorgeously Wealthy Georgina says she dressed like a slutty rich lady at her graduation party; others seemed to think the dress should be appropriate for a middle school girl, and The Gorgeous Georgian Irina made a quinceneara dress. There’s no standard for a graduation party, is there? And was it supposed to be HS or college? Different people seemed to have had different ideas. The episode led off with an impoverished Indian student who was the first in her family to graduate...I doubt being the belle of the graduation ball was her motivation for going to college. Good lord. Bring back the Dixie cups.

Didn't think it was possible, but that MIchelle Lesbiak bitch is back nastier and uglier than ever!

My favorite moment was when Michelle Lesbiak said "Who know I was a Hasidic Jew? Oy!"

[quote]but that MIchelle Lesbiak bitch is back nastier

Michelle's confessionals were cracking me up honestly. The contestants talking shit about each other's outfits makes it fun.

[quote]the JC Penney fuckup

I noticed they did start editing out that JCPenney will produce the winning look.

R68 Alissa said on last night’s episode that “the winning look will be available at JCP.com.”

I don't know how old Seth Aaron is but he sure looks a hell of a lot older than 40!

Looks like TLo will be returning to their roots and covering Project Runway when it moves back to Bravo.

Not a fan of last night's winning look at all - wth.

It's Anthony Ryan r72, Isaac worships the ground he walks on.

Georgina reminds me of serena joy or aunt Lydia from the handmaid's tale. I've watched all stars for a while and she's has some really wrong views and women/mothers and what they should wear.

Sean’s look should have won...

Sean's looked like it had tiny little squids attached to it.

I loved when Dimitry said something about Sean and his love of fringe. Anyone remember exactly what he said? It made me chuckle.

Basically that if he sees Sean make another fringe dress he is gonna vomit.

I actually thought a lot of the runway was pretty tacky.

When Isaac tried to claim it was one of the best runways EVA I honestly laughed at my screen.

i guess seth arron is 47 but fuck he looks 57 in the face.

R74 I bet she's a deplorable. On her Instagram she did a post about all lives matter. I actually think she's more evil than Harvey.

I like the global competition idea, but how many of these countries still have their own version of PR? Canada had two seasons, which ran several years ago.

Is Anthony Ryan ever NOT a drama queen?

The second challenge was stupid - it was supposed to be graduation dresses, and yet they had these horrible color combinations they needed to use. There's no young girl on earth who'd wear ANY of those abortions.

Ugh I'm already sick of splotchy Anthony Ryan. His "winning" look was basic and fug. He must flirt HARD with Issac.

R75 It was hideous. It looked like fishing lures hanging off of it. I did not get the praise for it at all. Then again, there wasn't really much to praise on the runway last night.

Sean's dress looked horrible.

Why is Anya back? All she proves is her range is limited to sewing together squares of flowy, printed fabrics together and putting a belt on to make a dress. Does she even design clothes or have anything to do with the fashion industry for a living? And why did we forget that she's a cocksucker?

I could have done without Michelle. Two episodes in and I'm reminded why I dislike her so much.

Anthony Ryan winning the second challenge was a joke.

Sending Sonny home over Irina was a travesty. Seriously - Irina stuck to the colors, but her dress would have been right at home in a Gypsy wedding party. She is showing zero taste so far, which I think is actually unusual for her. Sonny might have given a middle finger to the challenge, but rightly so. There was no way to make a beautiful graduation dress out of those awful color combinations (Anthony 'the winner' was a prime example of this). Plus, Sonny's dress was the only one a young woman might have actually wanted to wear and that could have been reproduced for sale. It was a bullshit challenge.

Irina’s showing her Soviet roots with her tacky new money fashion fantasy parade.

I am personally offended by Michelle. #metoo

Sonny is kind of cute too, in addition to his cute dress...

Why was lace lace such a popular choice for a graduation dress? Or was it just a cop-out to hide the more unfavorable color?

I was surprised that Evan's dress wasn't in the top three. To me it looked pretty cool (but also a bit red carpet).

I did not care for the sporty vibe of both Anya's and Anthony's dress. And Anthony won? WTF? At best it should have been safe or in the bottom three.

Dimitry's dress was cool. One of my faves this week.

Jasper's dress was nice for a Cocktail Party.

Django's dress was ok, but I thought the use of that red fabric was just an afterthought.

Cynthia's dress was kind of bad. The bow detail disappeared because it was done in the same color as the dress. If she had switched the colors and made the bow wide with a bit of the other color peeking out it would have made a bigger impact.

Sunny really should have done more with the color blue, like a blue belt. The judges were right to put him in the bottom three for that, but I think between Irina and him Irina should have gone home.

Irina's dress was just tacky. Slutty Disney Princess dress indeed.

I liked Christina's dress. It had a striking vintage (50's?) vibe to me.

Sorry, r90 here. I hit sent way too early.

Michelle's dress was just unfortunate. It looked cheap. To me it looked like a housewife's house coat.

Juli was another one who used mainly only one color, purple and just gave a peek of the other color, yellow. I didn't get that particular dress with the lace peeking out.

Seth's dress felt too plain for me. Hiding the other color underneath the heavy and thick white lace fabric.

And again, Anthony winning was ridiculous.

Love some of the snark. Like Dimitry threatening to vomit if Sean uses fringe.

How in the hell did Anthony Ryan win with that monstrosity? It was embarrassingly bad. AR must have photos that'll put Issac behind bars for life the way he was gushing over him and his design.

And I agree with you, R46 -- I was thinking the same thing -- Anya was one of Harvey's girls. She even said she hadn't used a sewing machine since her last season.

I don't know how Biddel's look was pushed away to safe, looking at that runway it should have easily been top 3.

I didn't hate Anthony Ryan's, but when it was unfairly called into the top 3 and praised into the win I started to hate it.

Don't tell that that some sporty crop top with some weird looking lace pants of an awkward length was the look to win a graduation dress challenge.

Is BIddle a gay?

You really have to ask r95?

Biddel’s design/shape was interesting, but the fabric reminded me of the Carol Burnett sketch of GWTW: “I saw this in the window, and just had to have it”...

[quote]Is Anthony Ryan ever NOT a drama queen?

I'm sorry but I crack up thinking about how Anthony Ryan, after talking about his grandmother out on the runway, gave Michelle this look like "Bitch, what you rubbing on my arm for?" in the kiss-and-cry room backstage when she was attempting to comfort him. It's like he had totally forgotten what he had just said moments before.

R91, I don't think you actually said what you thought of Sean's dress. I too cracked up at Dmitry's bitchiness about the tassles.

I've always liked Anthony Ryan and also think he is talented. His bird seed dress and Sean's rainway dress are the two most imaginative items on the show.

It was a bunch of birdseed glued on to a simple muslin dress to make a pretty pattern. Don't get me wrong, it was a great look, but best ever?

The most impressive fashion to come out of a Project Runway challenge was the Siriano/March collaboration.

And in terms of pure "imagination", I'd say that happened in the very first episode of Project Runway where Austin Scarlett walked in blind to show's first unconvential challenge and made a dress out of sewing corn husks together.

R100 The idea of sprinkling fabric dye into the stitching was smart. The dress itself was exceptionally plain and ugly. Imagine if this design had go e down the runway under any other circumstances. It looks like something made for sister wives.

I agree with you, R102, that the dress itself was ultra-basic but the effect was fantastic.

I know that when my g-ma died I was upset for only like day or so - not THREE fucking days like that qween Anthony Ryan! Sheesh!!!

The Bravo Revamp starts in March. I guess once this season is over.

Any word on the new show with Tim and Heidi? I still kinda hate that they left PR behind to do a different show.

R104 Not funny.

Heidi and Tim are casting for their series now r106.

I'm so disappointed in Seth Aaron. What the fuck was that? At least this runway was better than last week.

Anya's look was actually different than what she normally does, color me surprised.

“Basic sums it up.”

Damn, I didn't know Heidi and Tim Gunn will not be joining Project Runway back at Bravo. Those two are really the ones who've kept the show alive, and were the main reason I was waiting for the show. PR is quite unique with its concept since it works so incredibly well. Hard to imagine the Amazon Prime version being anything more than a cheap copy. Oh well.

R112 They did it for 20 years. Everything’s got to evolve or die.

Bravo offered them a fraction of the salary they were getting paid after so many years, so they left. Like everything it comes down to money. Though I think Siriano is the perfect replacement to keep it going.

Irina's was fine but I didn't see it for the win, there were other looks that stood out out to be more.

I'm really wondering if the designers are getting any of their prizes from these challenges like the promised 5k. We know the JC Penny thing fell through, and the outfit that was supposed to be auctioned on ebay last week was never posted.

Thought this was a very good non-traditional materials runway and Seth Aaron's was worst by far.

I think they called it right. Irina’s only competition IMO was Michelle’s dress, but Irina’s was so much more intricate and layered. I liked Michelle’s, but it was plastic glued onto a burlap potato sack dress.

The dangling seatbelt creature was awful.

I'd like to put my penis into Sean Kelly's bum.

Sean Kelly is really exploiting his final TV appearance to try to attract as much dick as possible. I’m guessing he is really depending on that PrEP to work as promised.

Why final< R119?

R120 Because where else is he ever going to be seen on TV?

I'm sorry, but without Tim Gunn, I can't be bothered...

Didn't think it was possible, but MIchelle Lesbiak gets uglier and uglier each week! Fly back to Portland on your broomstick, gurl!!

[quote]I think they called it right. Irina’s only competition IMO was Michelle’s dress

I loved Jasper's

I am shocked that they sent Seth Aaron home. Yes, his seat belt dress was awful. It was so blatantly awful that it was bizarre that he couldn't see it which makes me wonder if something else was going on. But I thought they'd give him points for vision and send the boring Australian girl home.

Jasper should have won or Michelle. His was more effort and tailoring and transformative. Michelle's was very simple and effective. Irina's was fun but there were better designs in the safe category.

Two weeks ago, the garish school colors/graduation dress: Seth Aaron should have won that with his openwork lace over swing dress. Irina 's ice blue flouncy dress actually had a better top when she showed it to the mentor. It was a midriff top with lace appliques. Changing it to a plunging v-neck is what turned it tacky. Sean and Anthony Ryan's were terrible. I laughed when Dmitry picked red and yellow for himself because that's the most god awful combination, he did pretty good with it though.

The judges are prioritizing conformity and rule-following over vision this season.

I think Seth Aaron is really talented and could have won this season...but his outfit was easily the worst thing on the runway. It is hard for me to criticize the judges for eliminating him, because if you are going to be fair (which let's behonest, judging for reality TV shows rarely is), that was the right call.

Agreed on all points, r127...

R124, beautifully done, but a very conventional silhouette.

If the challenge isn’t avant garde, what does it matter if someone designs a normal, wearable silhouette instead of a Judy Jetson or Rosie the Robot silhouette?

R130, I like it, and it successfully met the challenge. But for unconventional materials challenges, the judges usually go for the WOW factor--something hipper, eye-popping, and different.

Why wasn't Swanpil asked back to be on this season? His designs were fabulous, plus there's not Tim Gun around to harass him.

...this season? Swapnil never won a season, the only people part of this season were people who won.

I don't know why he hasn't been on another All Stars season, he probably was asked and declined.

[quote]I'd like to put my penis into Sean Kelly's bum.

Well Sean Kelly also thinks he is quite attractive and likes to show off on instagram, so knock yourself out.

Who cares how she looks r123? Michelle's bitchy commentary is making this season better.

What's that tattoo on Sean's leg? An octopus?

Can the designers from the Lifetime years ever come back now that it's on Bravo again? Different production companies, different contracts so I suppose not.

What happened with the JC Penney thing - did they just not decide to offer a version of the winning design each week? I didn't know how that was going to work. But I suppose all they needed to do for Irina's dress this week is maybe link to these...

I feel like I was reared on another planet with an entirely different set of social norms. Never, never in my life—not even in the “prime” of my youth—would I have shared photos like R134 publicly. It’s the norm now, and I just don’t understand how people admire those who are that narcissistic rather than being repelled by them. When I see Instagram accounts like that, what I see is body-obsessed people who jerk off to pictures of themselves, who hope others will jerk off to them, and who will probably spend their post-35 years contemplating suicide every minute because people don’t tell them how beautiful they are every day. It makes me sad at a very deep level.

R138 Evidently, JC Penney and Lifetime had a one-year agreement, and Lifetime delayed airing the season because of the Weinstein scandal (and because of PR being bought back by Bravo?). So time ran out on the contract, and that’s that. It’s really, really fucking weird to me that Project Runway/Lifetime didn’t edit the season to take JCP out of it.

Anyway, for me, once Runway resorted to sponsorship from the Dixie Cups that I associate with spitting into at the dentist’s office, it was in the toilet for me. What a fall from grace.

Designers from the Bravo years come back for Lifetime r137. If Bravo decides to commision an all stars season, I don't see why not.

The big question is whether Bravo’s version will be a major disappointment and how long it’ll take before they being Heidi and Tim back—like ANTM had to do with Tyra.

No Tim, no show, despite that sniveling bitch Siriano.

I think Dmitry is so pretty. He's also very funny.

I am on the fence about Dmitry. He seems nice sometimes, and he can be funny, but his sense of humor seems cruel sometimes (which could be a cultural thing?). Hasn’t he also denied being gay? I mean, he is so gay.

I do think he’s kind of pretty in a way, but he also reminds me too much of Marilyn Mason x Kyle Richards. I don’t think the Botox and fillers are going to be good for that face in the long run. Just get old, Dmitry. You don’t have to be “ageless” like Vladimir Putin.

Dmitry has never denied being gay, he just doesn't talk about it period. Probably because his home country of Belarus is homophobic.

R146 Well he is here now and should get over it. I would give him a hug warm enough to melt that Eastern Euro iciness and tell him it’s OK to be gay.

But he has at least acknowledged it, R146? I thought his sexuality was still an open question.

He has never addressed it r159, though I'd say it isn't really an open question. Obviously he is gay, but obviously it is something he doesn't want to publicly talk about.

I'd speculate it is a subject he hasn't broached with his family so doesn't want it on television.

I am gay and my psychiatrist of almost a decade is from Ukraine and Moscow. She doesn’t give a shit. She is way too blunt and unguarded with her thoughts and could not possibly hide it if she were. She moved here in her 30s or 40s and assimilated. Dmitry should just be open. Everyone knows. If they didn’t know based on his mannerisms and his voice and his career direction, certainly the Beverly Hills facial fillers serve as confirmation as much as a rainbow flag tattoo on his forehead would.

His last season of All Stars there was an entire challenge devoted to love and relationships, and he went through the episode without saying a damn thing about his personal life.

Watch Dmitry and Jack Mackenroth settle down together. Lol

That whore settling down? He is a 50 year old porn star.

R153 Is Dmitry FIFTY??!

^ Jack Mackenroth, r154.

I'm watching because I love the show but never understood Alyssa Milano as a host or a fashionista so there's that. This season I find it hard to look at Georgina and am shocked she's even on the show.

Also, not looking forward to a Kushner hosting the next Project Runway.

This was filmed in the summer of 2017 r156, before the Weinstein scandal broke.

R156 A Kushner?

Karlie Kloss-Kushner

Karlie Kloss who is replacing Heidi Klum is the wife of Josh Kushner. Jared's brother

Fuck. From Weinstein to Kushners. No.

Which of the duelling Project Runways will air first?

The Bravo show is premiering in March r162, the Amazon show is just now casting.

I'm just guessing but at this rate, I bet the Amazon show won't air until fall.

R159 tell me she didn't hyphenate her last name?

Those would be some unfortunate initials...

KKK seems right for that family.

Josh Kusher has publicly claimed he did not vote for Trump, but still him and Jared have always been and remain very close. He is still swept up in the shitshow that is the Trump orbit.

Josh Kushner should feel the heat. His brother is destroying this country and working for and advancing a white supremacist agenda. He and his family do not get any sympathy from me.

The family was stained before Trump entered the picture, have you heard of their father Charles? He is a evil, thoroughly corrupt son of a bitch. Those boys never stood a chance.

Ugly. Ugly. Ugly. Inside and out. Ugly. Ugly. Michelle. Ugly. Ugly. Ugly. Bitch. Ugly. Lesbiak. Ugly. Ugly. Ugly.

"The corset is a symbol of freedom"

I've heard it all now.

I will give Georgina props for calling out Irina doing the same length for every challenge, I hadn't noticed that.

I liked Sean's and Biddell's designs, but they were surprisingly not in the top three. I did not like Dimitry's look. I don't know what the judges see in him. Plus, he and Michelle are so bitchy.

Jasper was insufferable. Glad he's gone.

Looks like Michelle/Dmitry drama next week. Oh boy!

I thought dmitry's would be in the bottom. Surprised it was top three.

I'm also glad jasper is gone.

For the first time this season, I actually liked Splotchy's design. I'm surprised his lover Issac didn't put him in the top.

Anya's was a hot mess. I think the girl with the corset dress and stupid hat should have been safe. It wasn't so bad that she deserved bottom 2. I guess it didn't matter...Jasper's was the worst by far.

Glad he's gone.

Wait, how are you already seeing Episode 4?

I saw Episode 3, and Jasper and Seth Aaron were the bottom two, and they auf'd Seth Aaron.

Doesn't this show air on Thursdays?? How did Jasper end up getting auf'd?? Is there a link I can see the next episode?

The show airs wednesdays.

Isn’t Michelle Dmitry’s best friend? She calls him ‘Dima’!

Yeah I actually liked Anthony Ryan's for once and was surprised he was safe r175.

anthony ryan is pure trash.

I was surprised that Sean Kelly's design wasn't in the top three. IMO that's one of the best designs I've seen so far in this season.

Christina winning for that drab design is a disgrace. Irina should have won.

To me Dimitry's design was as bad as Seth Aaron's from last week. To me it was tacky, unsophisticated and badly executed. And he's in the top three for that? WTF?

If it was up to me it would have been Sean Kelly, Irina, and Anthony Ryan in the top three. Evan's design was nice, but it didn't look like a corset dress to me.

Irina’s look would’ve been better if the model hadn’t opened the coat on the runway. The corset coat was chic and innovative. The lace thingy was trashy....

Michelle and Biddell were right, this wasn't a great look from Dmitry. It shouldn't have sent him home or anything, but it had no business in the top.

Weirdly, when I look at Dmitry’s outfit I can picture him wearing it and looking better suited to it than the model was.

[Quote]I was surprised that Sean Kelly's design wasn't in the top three.

It was a chic look, I quite liked it.

[Quote]Anya's was a hot mess.

Anya is skating by, but she is out of depth and needs to be aufed and put out of her misery.

R185 Why am I the only person who sees off the rack men’s pajamas with a corset on top?

At first I loved Anya's print, but what she made with it ... just ghastly. A corset with with this monstrosity she calls pants? And then those shoes? *barf*. I am surprised that the show didn't make a big deal out of her making pants which means she did something other than draping.

She attempted to make pants, I wouldn't say she succeeded..

r187, maybe I have an irrationally big hardon for Sean Kelly (like dear Isaac has clearly for Anthony Ryan), but I thought that combinging a feminine corset with a men's pajamas is a genius idea and it made me smile and imo it looked quite sharp and I love the color combination.

My apologies, COMBINING a feminine corset with a men's pajamas ...

R190 OK, as long as you see PJs, too.

They do look comfy.

Sleeve length made it look sloppy...

I didn't think Anya's was that bad but then I only saw it for a couple seconds. Does anyone have a screencap?

[quote] maybe I have an irrationally big hardon for Sean Kelly

He is definitely leaning into that. Notice he is wearing nothing but those muscle slut shirts in the work room? It is interesting that he didn't do that much on S13, but now you can tell he is leaning into being a sex symbol.

It was just posted at r186, r194.

I hate the Internet sometimes.

When Project Runway was new, it was so exciting to see a bunch of creative people applying their imaginations and making inventive things every week.

Now it’s about this.

Sean Kelly wants to grow up to be like Jack Mackenroth. Forget the talent; double dick me and send me $5 through PayPal.

In the very first season r197, Robert Plotkin was very much treated as a sex symbol and they even showed his ass in one episode. The only time they have *literally* used a designer as straight eye candy.

[quote] Sleeve length made it look sloppy...

To me it gives the design an avant-garde kind of feel. But then I'm the guy who has a hardon for Sean at r190.

Ok, that one's just ... wow!

All of Sean Kelly’s Instagram to me is the gay analog to a basic white girl. Expected, “thirsty,” desperate, boring.

Actually found a clip, could you imagine them showing a designer's bare butt these days?

[quote]All of Sean Kelly’s Instagram to me is the gay analog to a basic white girl. Expected, “thirsty,” desperate, boring.

Well yes, how else would you even describe it. It's so damn basic. I'd hope even he would admit that.

r203. Bravo also showed Miles' butt from Work of Art.

R203 for all the hear Anya gets, Robert was a far inferior wannabe designer. He got through only because the judges kept telling him he was “charming” (hot), and I believe at one point they even told him he didn’t deserve to stay but “charmed” his way to next week. That was infuriating to me because he even admitted he couldn’t sew and was trying to find something to do with his life. Meanwhile, so many talented people were working their asses off.

Her's Sean providing shade.

I don't disagree, Robert pretty openly skated by more than he should.

A big difference between Robert and Anya, Robert didn't win.

Damn. Here's Sean providing shade at r207.

Plotkin.

He misspelled Penney. But hey. Pecs.

r211. Either that or it was intentional as in the low amount of money value.

But let's not forget that Sean Kelly fucked up the Peace sign in one of his designs in his original season.

He strikes me as someone who works out a lot and who has an intact brain stem that allows him to breathe and blink and walk around and take selfies. And, well, that’s all.

Thanks r196.

Japser was such a typical swishy bitchy qween. Glad she's gone. MIchelle Lesbiak next, please.

It’s about the fashion, not someone’s personal biases, r216...or it’s supposed to be...

Curiously, in last week's episode, Seth Aaron was the time monitor and then got the boot. This week's episode had Jasper playing time monitor and he got the boot. Coinicidence, or are the editors purposely foreshadowing the ending?

Well Jasper had the worst look this week so I don't see the conflict r217. There was nothing fresh about that look. It looked dated and cheap.

I wasn’t defending his look so much as calling out the reference of ‘ swishy, bitchy qween’....sounds kinda homophobic. Are you gay, r216?

The info and cast for the new season is out.

The winners gets 250k(!!!). Shit.

And Siriano has some words

[quote]“What’s really great about this season is that, for the first time, the mentor for the designers gets to be a designer,” Siriano said during the show’s Television Critics Association press day on Tuesday in Pasadena. “Tim was never a designer. He never worked in the business. He was a teacher. When the designers have a red-carpet challenge, I can actually give them real feedback because I’d just dressed people at the Golden Globes the week before. I’m giving them real, fashion-industry feedback that can, hopefully, only help them.”

I agreed with Biddell (god I feel like I always do) about Anthony Ryan's, it isn't a "night out on the town" look at all. But of course that doesn't matter to the judges.

I actually didn't hate Sean's, though of course it was obvious that he was never really going home and that it was Julie. But still, to put him in the bottom two over Djano's mess? Please.

Julie’s was definitely the worst. Hideous.

Yeah, she made a little black dress for a night out, the safest go to in fashion, but somehow made it ugly.

Boy, the editors were really telegraphing this episode. From the sudden focus on the usually neglected Julie and her cloying, oft-repeated "cheeky monkey" joke to the Michelle-Dimitry copycat scandal. We pretty much knew who'd get the boot and who'd win top honors by midpoint.

And yes, Julie's design was hideous. How in the world can you go wrong with a basic black cocktail dress??? It really lacked a designer's eye.

“This cheeky monkay had a butthole when he turned around, and so I added this cute little brown aster on the back of the dress to show the inspiration! I don’t know if you noticed, but the model’s handbag looks like a little poo! She was supposed to throw it.”

Love you r228.

r222. Wow he really throws shade at Tim Gunn for being just a teacher and him being an actual designer. Makes me like him a lot less. Tim has always been a class act wanting the designers to succeed with what they chose in terms of inspiration and material. Siriano comes off like a know-it-all who will make sure that the designers will follow HIS design aesthetic, because that's what celebrities wear, because - in case you don't know - celebrities wear HIS designs on the red carpet.

With all the designers on the show , you would think someone would dress Alyssa better.

Django and Cynthia have been in the bottom twice and safe the rest of the time. Looks like one of them may be next if they don’t radically upgrade the crap they’re sending down the runway. The edit says it may be Django, since he’s coming across as that typical contestant (there’s always one of them) who continuously harps on how he doesn’t have any competition but is never on top and designs crap.

On the flip side, Dmitry, Irina and Michelle have the strongest track records so far (Christina is a close fourth) with a win each, and Dmitry being the only one of them who has never been in the bottom. But Irina’s visits to the top are more impressive, ruinedbonly by a bottom two episode.

I loved Alyssa handling the snake at the beginning. Don't want to come off as mean, but because of that I didn't even notice the dress.

No way Django is going to come even close at winning. Anne is going to murder the enire staff, crew, judges and contestants if they let him get away with disrespecting her.

Well, no one can complain about " white male privilege" with the new cast.

I think both Christina and Biddell deserve more top 3 placements than they have had, but the judges have their favorites.

I agree, in a lot of cases Biddell's designs deserved to be in the top three instead of Dimity's designs.

I love Tim, but it is hard not to see Siriano's point.

If in theory the point of Project Runway is about trying to launch people into the fashion industry, someone like Christian does make more sense as a mentor for the designers than someone like Tim.

Gawd Michelle is a swishy, bitchy Qween! Oh, excuse me, does that make me homophobic, r220??

[Quote]No way Django is going to come even close at winning.

Well yeah, look at the stuff he has sent down the runway. I've yet to be impressed.

No, it makes you a moron, r239...

R230, Siriano has always had a bitchy cunt side to him. I remember disliking him for it when he was in PR the first time.

At DL back in the day, we called Siriano "Princess Puffy Sleeves"

Biddell won't get top design because you can guarantee the *global* winner will be a former US PR winner.

I already see the top three as Dmitry, Sean and Irina. Not sure who the 4th will be; maybe Anthony Ryan.

And speaking of Anthony Ryan, God, I just want to shave that crap off his face and dye his hair dark again! He was sooooo cute the first time he appeared on PR but it's like now he's deliberately making himself so dowdy-looking.

I must admit I thought what Anya made this week was just gorgeous. She should have been top three in my opinion.

Thanks, R221. I just added PR/March 14th to my calendar.

I don't think they are going to want the entire finale to be Americans, I think they will make sure to not be too biased and throw in a token international designer who has no chance of winning no matter how well they do.

Jasper was annoying as fuck, especially with him bossing people around and making his model do specific runway walks for him - walks that weren't used in the actual runways. What a bitch.

Honestly a designer giving direction to a model isn't an unusual thing, it is the designer's show, not the model's. If they want things done a certain way it is their right.

R250, the designer, in this case, was hollering at his model to do a variety of acrobatics and twists, and none of that had any bearing on the runway competition. He was feeding his own ego by embarrassing his model.

Yeah, did the show actually SHOW these extra special moves the model was supposed to perform? Based on the edit his models didn't stick out for me performance wise.

Wut r246? No, just no.

Does Anthony Rian have the HIV? He's not looking good......

R252, it really appeared that Jasper only wanted his model to walk that way for HIS approval, imagination and ego, not for the actual runway challenge. This is what my issue is.

But, even IF this were all allowed - special poses on the runway (which it really isn't) - he could have been polite about it. He really was berating the model to do his bidding - it was cringe worthy and spoke of a real lack of experience and class.

What cunt-like behavior will we see on display from MIchelle Lesbiak tonight? Ooooh….can't wait. Hope she gets auf'ed!

Anya freaking out because she can't just drape flowly fabrics says everything. Why is she even there?

Michelle goes with puke/baby shit green again. Surprise surprise. So flattering for so many skin tones...

Everybody is dissing Biddell’s design, I think it looks good.

Brazilian girl’s get-up looks very glamorous. Very Dior:

It does say something about Anya that everyone is so willing to help her. Even her original season’s judges.

Michelle’s dress is so gross.

I choked on my tea when Isaac said fringe from Sean was surprising, that is literally the thing he is known for.

But it won! ^^

Wendy Williams should be a permanent judge. I loved her input.

My favorites were Sean and Anthony Ryan. The wrong designer went home, though. I found Anya’s look cool and interesting. Michelle’s was much worse.

How it won, I don't know r263. Of the top three I thought Irina was the clear winner. I swear, the judges see Sean do fringe and always have an orgasm over it.

Also I want another look at Christina(?)'s blue look, I thought it looked really special before it was shuffled out off to safe.

Michelle was aided by her track record

I mean Anya is Anya. Her skillset is very limited, she is only going to give you Anya-esque looks, that is all she is capable of making which to her credit she admits. Eliminating her was a no-brainer.

[quote]Also I want another look at Christina(?)'s blue look, I thought it looked really special before it was shuffled out off to safe.

Agree. Same with Cynthia’s and even Anthony R’s

Christian Siriano has a point about Tim Gunn but it seems so uncharitably stated.

Also what he is saying about Tim being purely a teacher is something that seems unique to Parsons. All FIT professors have industry experience.

Anne had some cunty zingers.

So much hate for Biddell's look, and yet I thought his was one of the best. Django's outfit was horrible. It should have been between him and Anya. That fabric looked straight out of Golden Girls, and the dress design was so bad. He really sucks. Maybe he's good if he has time to think something through and put it together, but then you have guys like Biddell who can grind out quality stuff in a couple hours. Plus he has taste. It would be a travesty if someone like Irina, who looks like she designs for gypsies, wins over him.

[quote]So much hate for Biddell's look, and yet I thought his was one of the best.

You could tell that was just the designers trash talking because they were upset with him. Seeing him relaxing around the workroom rather than stressing out and working every second.

I liked this look, though I guess I can see why it was only safe.

Anthony Ryan always seem to ignore the brief and do whatever he wants. This was cool, but just not look for the red carpet.

Aside from the fact that she can’t sew (and I’m not a fan), it’s kind of unfair to accuse Anya of always doing flowy caftany things, when:

Sean = fringes

Dimitry = sheer suspensión Charlie browns

Michelle = puke green

Irina = fru fru volume

A Ryan = overlapping curvy paneling

It seems to me like ALL the US winners stick to a style, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but don’t single out Anya.

That said, it was her time to go.

Suspension

Wendy Williams showed her ignorance when she corrected Isaac’s usage of ‘japonais’....

Wendy Williams was there to say funny comments for the audience r277, she fulfilled her purpose.

She overkilled, shrieking “Who are you?!” at Isaac three times.

If she was on drugs, R279, she might have not known.

Michelle is gross. Wendy is disgusting and classless.

Isn't Wendy dead?

Not dead enough.

Wendy Williams R282 She was a guest judge

Oh, duh. Thanks r284.

Does Michelle really think she looks good with that awful haircut?

Michelle looked like she was paying homage to Joey Ramone.

That hair is terrible and so are all of the various eyeglasses she has worn this season. I actually think she's a pretty decent designer most of the time (this week's garment was shit) and I enjoy her cunty commentary, but her personal style is hideous.

BTW, I couldn't believe they revisited last week's stupid non-scandal about Michelle supposedly copying Dmitry. So she did a dress with cutouts; so what? It's not like Dmitry invented that technique and we've in fact seen Michelle use it, too, on other occasions. The two dresses really weren't that similar, not to mention it's unlikely Michelle went to work with a vivid image in her mind of some dress Dmitry created years ago. They're clearly scraping the bottom of the barrel for drama.

...and dimitry didn’t notice it, but was told of it in a conspiratorial way....oooooh...

I think the finale will be between Dmitry and Sean with possibly Irina in third. Biddell might be fourth, though he could push Irina out of the third spot. Just my guess.

And I agree that Sean gets too easy a pass for his fringes. If that was any other designer, I'm sure the judges would call them out on it.

The celebrity that walked the red carpet in Sean's look would end up on the worst dressed list. Period.

It's win is utterly perplexing to me.

Yeah, the look is a required taste, but if I were going to a red carpet event, I would want to look splendid and or hot -- not that.

Biddell did a lot of the season with a broken finger apparently

Does MIchelle use a flowbee to get those distinctive hairstyles? Snazzy!

I didn't get the love for Michelle's design. It reminded me of those old Regina floor polisher pads.

I didn't hate Django's design, but it looked like something I've seen before on the fashion runways. So, zero for avant-garde innovation. Sean's was a disaster, but I did see some element of design creativity, just not very tasteful or executed well.

Sean should have gone home, but Django’s delusion drama had run its course and, with four lows in a row, he was next on the pre-ordained elimination list.

Now the only contestants left without a win are Cynthia and Bidell, and the only contestant with two wins is Anthony Ryan. I think he deserved his last win, but not his first.

Yeah, when Mizrahi called the dress under Michelle’s bent circle, “one of the best little dresses ever” I knew the fix was on.

Michelle is a pre-ordained finalist.

I don't get the love for MIchelle or Anthony Ryan. What's next for AR - an Etch-a-Sketch dress?

Did everyone see DL fave Andy Randells on last night's episode? Who knew she had such a sharp eye for fashion? Is there NOTHING she can't do?

I actually did think Anthony Ryan's concept was cool and pretty well executed. I didn't begrudge him his win.

[quote]Sean should have gone home, but Django’s delusion drama had run its course and, with four lows in a row

Sean did have the worst look on the runway, but given Django's output sending him home was the right call in my opinion.

I will miss Jango's drama with Ann.

Sean is so sexy, would love to lick all of him

Django's drama regarding Anne was probably factored into his exit. You don't kick a gift horse in the mouth. There are other former Runway winners across the world who would love to be in his shoes. He didn't appreciate this opportunity.

I don't understand the disdain for Anthony Ryan. He has always been my favorite.

Blame Isaac r305.

Anthony Ryan was widely overpraised and was pushed into winning AS2 when most viewers didn't think he deserved to, so there was a lot of pushback against him.

I was glad he won. I wanted him to win in his original season.

The fact that Django outlasted Seth Aaron doesn’t speak well of this show...

Sean takes his thirst trap pictures to new heights

Loved Sean before now I really do, thanks 309

omg i'm over here whacking like crazy to sean's pic. omg.

my fucking man pussy is hot.

I love Isaac because any mention of his name is an excuse to post this.

I guess no one claimed he was smart, R313, but what the hell is with those Frauen blouses?

Sean is super hot...except for the horrible thigh tattoos.

Jango is hotter then Sean.

Michelle Lesbiak is hotter than anyone.

The "previously recorded" tag over the entire JCPenny thing is so embarrassing. All this JCPenny focus when they aren't actually working with them.

Man, that runway wasn't great. But I guess they were making outfits out of JCPenny clothing.

Biddell deserved the win, he did make those cheap clothes look expensive.

Who went home?

Cynthia...the one from Brazil.

Thanks!

Bidell’s was by far the only gorgeous design. Everyone else struggled. And once again, Michelle Lesbiack gets praised for sending down the runway a well-sewn rectangle.

And Irina gets kudos for yet another spin on a tight red hoochie dress.

Michelle’s th8ng looked like a dress shirt with denim clamped on the shoulders. Ugly, unshapely, and cheap — and praised by the dumbfuck judges.

Dimitri is fucking obnoxious. He’s arrogant while he sends out European barf outfits every week. That thing this week was a nightmare.

these are allstars?????

cant watch that naïve midget ms Milano, she humiliates herself with them outfits she wears with them stumps fer legs. good fer giggles

Biddell's clothes at least have an elevated taste level. I think he really does stand out. Michelle's does as well, as much as I hate to admit it, but this week's outfit wasn't worthy of any praise. I had to laugh when Dmitri said she hasn't progressed since her season, when he's the 'one treek monkey' of not progressing.

I was wondering if the US airing was cutting out or saying something about the JC Penney stuff. The Canadian broadcast does't at all.

Dmitry's look this week was pretty terrible to my eyes, I was shocked when he was whisked away to safe.

....

Dimitri has a big dick face and I like it

He HAD a BDF, but expensive fillers are like expensive sports cars. They’re taking the place of something that’s missing.

R327 - it's "one way monkey!"

No, it’s “one trick monkey .,.”

It was definitely one way monkey.

Oh. Here go hell come.

I am sorry, but new Dimitry looks like how I imagine DL's Rich Russian Lady looks while wearing an expensive head scarf.

"You accept American Express, dah?"

luv dimitry, fun, smart, knows that bitch copied him!!!! WIN BABY WIN

And MIchelle just LOOKS like a monkey. One with a really bad haircut.

Finally caught up watching the episodes. Biddell is my favorite. He's done some good designs that get passed to the safe zone. I still see Anthony Ryan get (vinyl write-on dress that fit terribly at the waist) and Sean (fringe albeit a great color) getting overpraised.

For the invent something avant garde challenge, I did think Django's Chanel look was gorgeous, must better than the schmattas he turned in recently. I really liked Dmitri's temperature control coat dress which was just safe.

Did anyone see the previews for this week's episode? Isn't that Georgina with the short, dark hair? I assume it's a wig or did she actually cut it and dye it?

By the way, did Biddell say that this was his first win? I thought he had won once before. He's shaping up to be a real threat to take it all.

Wait, how the hell is Biddell safe?

I didn't realize til Sean pointed it out that Dmitry has never been in the bottom, surprising because he has sent some questionable shit down the runway. His look this week is bad.

Dmitry had by far the worst look on the runway, but of course they sacrificed Sean to save him as they had put Sean in the bottom a times already.

I never loved Alyssa more than her putting her foot down to Isaac that Anthony Ryan's look was not winning.

If you’d like to see more from Sean, visit OnlyFans.com!

Anthony Ryan's look was a redux of his avant garde look.

R345 Thank you, Alyssa. We did hear you say that all three times during the judging.

You're welcome, R346.

I think Irina should've gone because that lumpen mess of a coat was ugly and the tshirt and pants underneath were just basic.

The only real objection to Dmitry's was the buttons. And maybe the space age fabric but it was a sharp look.

I didn't mind Sean's. It's strange that the guest judge brings up practicality, I mean they were right in that where do you wear a one-sleeve garment? but streetwear can be just as ridiculous as runway looks.

Anthony Ryan should've been on the bottom instead of Dimitry.

Send Irina packing. Yes, it is rude to use a machine that's already threaded and adjusted for tension for your time -wasting project.

I thought Dmitry’s thing was awful. I do agree with some of the judges’ comments that “gender neutral” (or “unisex” as someone called it above) doesn’t have to be a bland, styleless robe—and it also doesn’t have to be a sci-fi futuristic “Matrix” or “Mad Max” type of thing. I guess there’s a place for that, but so many of these were sci-fi/comic book-y.

Irina’s look wasn’t bad, imo, but her using someone’s machine during crunch time was unconscionable,,,,watta bitch, and I think she should be reprimanded by the producers and then the judges....

She was definitely purposefully being a bitch r350. Let me occupy this machine and make myself dress because I am done, and you are not and stressing out, eat it bitches.

I didn't get the issue with the machine - was it the only one Christina could have used? Do they have assigned machines or something? Irina said there were other machines she could have used.

It seemed that it was the one Christina had threaded with the black thread and been using earlier before Irina grabbed it.

Although I don't quite understand it. Threading an industrial sewing machine is more complicated than a regular machine but is it that finicky?

I sure wish Mabelean or whatever her name was was on this season! She was so quirky and kooky with that little sailer's hat and all. Love her!

Regardless of this being a competition, Irina knew it was a desperate time for other competitors, and, whether or not there are assigned machines, knew she was using a machine set up by someone else. She has painted herself in an extremely unfavorable light and should be reprimanded, as she was de facto cheating...

If I were a potential client of Irina, I would find another designer after watching her odious antics on the last episode.

There was nothing really bad about Sean's look, they just didn't want to send home Dmitry. It mainly annoys me because they didn't bend over backwards to save Seth Aaron when he was in Dmitrys position.

Countdown to Sean's porn and meth debut....

Anthony Ryan's instagam makes it clear the other designers really don't like Irina

[quote]HERE FOR THE SHADE. Y’all want to know why I throw this bish so much flack?! This is a prime example with her true colors & shady attitude... *insert tongue pop*

Wow Dmitry’s fabric is definitely granny style. I think he’s gone this week.

Dmitry's model walking the runway holding a coat, then putting on a coat as a "transformation". I chuckled.

Yeah... he’s history r362.

And Dmitry is safe! Really?

The two international designers left put in the bottom seemed like bullshit to me. Bye Christina, don't really think you deserved to get eliminated.

Neither did she...

It felt Junior!

Said in the most hilariously snarky way, R367!

I hate that Dmitry puts out clothes inspired by Ukrainian dairy maidens and old yentas from Boca Raton and doesn't get called out for his tacky taste level.

So a US winner of the “global” (US) season was a foregone conclusion, yes?

When they got rid of much better designers such as Sonny, R370, it was pretty obvious. I guess Biddell may be the token 'foreigner' in the F3, if they want to be less obvious about it.

Does Biddell look like a chubby Chris Evans to anyone else?

If he lost 50 lbs and got rid of his neck tattoo, he would be quite the hottie.

I wish Swanpil were here, It would be a different show.

Has Swapnil has success as a designer?

Michelle will probably win

Christina should not have gone home. That woman who favors feathered saloon dresses saying she (Christina) doesn't know her customer? Well, you claim you didn't know your husband was a serial rapist. She knows her customer and you knew what your husband was doing.

I'm so out of touch that I loved Christina's look and hated Michelle's look. But I do like how Alyssa has been willing to go toe to toe with Issac and Georgina. Even if you don't agree, it's refreshing to hear someone strongly disagree with the others.

I'm torn with my crushes, georgina or irina shayk? Who's better?

I miss fat Ashley crying all the time. I pray that she will one day return to "All-Stars".

Hah that would be hysterical, r379. I don’t want to poo poo designing for larger women, but her designs were excrement. The potted plants on the models’ heads was the biggest joke I’ve seen on Project Runway.

Isn't this the last, all-stars ever?

If there is justice and mercy, r381...

Bravo might do All-Stars

I liked or mostly liked all the efforts this week, it was tough to decide who should be on the bottom. Anthony Ryan's was probably the weakest design. Dmitry's was the least successful transformation. Christina's was beautiful thanks to the print and her bathing suit was fine (looks cheap? Huh?). I was impressed with how Biddell rescued his really awful bathing suit and the jumpsuit with the vinyl wave pattern was clever. I didn't like the fabric that Irina used but the trim was genius and the model looked great with it wrapped around her head and shoulders. I LOVED Michelle's fabric combination (and I'm not fond of green otherwise) and she did the best transformation so I'm happy with her win.

Had no idea that Reem Acra was a woman (!)

The model that Irina had this last week is the best of the bunch...

R370, R371, as far as Project Runways go, this season seems tailor-made for Trump's America. Past PRs and PRAS have had far more diverse casts of designers, with last season ending with five African American men at the top. This season, there were zero blacks or Latinos, while the four Asian competitors were auf'ed by midpoint. Now we've got the two Aussies, the Kiwi, and the Dutch boy gone, leaving us with all North Americans, two of whom are from former Soviet bloc countries. The Canadian guy will probably be the next to go, and the winner will probably be San Antonio Ryan or Portland beauty Michelle.

Nope, R386, Trump's America wouldn't have any fags or lesbos and a lesbo will certainly win this year.

I think Michelle is married to a man.

R387, in Trump America, homosexuals are tolerated if they don't act upon their impulses and convert to an "acceptable lifestyle." Being black or Latino, however, that you cannot change.

That's okay, R 386, the new season of PR on Bravo more than makes up for the lack of people of color. The cast is almost exclusively unattractive people of color.

I like georgina chapman. I think she's the nice judge. I wish she'd been honest about her life with harvey, her motivations for being with him. Instead of saying she was totally oblivious, she should have said yeh it was a business marriage, he was cheating but I didn't think rape. I made a mistake in youth to choose immediate glory, he was horrid to me too, I was trapped etc. She could've had a comeback from that.

Georgina is a horrible person in real life.

I’ve often heard people of color lament that there was no one on TV, in movies, etc. that “looked like them” and preferred watching shows/movies with people who “look like them.” I guess white men get to search out for white male faces, and seeing none - not watch the new season or PR on Bravo. You’d think that out of a population that makes up 34% of the population, they’d find one white guy. Black men only make up 5% of the population, but you can’t swing a cat in the workroom without hitting one.

But not watching was a given for me anyway, without Tim and Heidi.

Well, r393, you won, most inane post of the day. Congratulations!

R393 seems to be talking about the new season of regular Project Runway. His comment is still inane, however, as 1) there appear to be a couple of white guys in the cast 2) one season of one TV show with no white guys hardly seems like a tragedy of epic proportions. The people of color who have lamented the lack of people who look like them on TV have never demanded that every season of EVERY show feature people who who look like them.

R392 ooooh tell us all the gossip!

[quote]Georgina is a horrible person in real life.

I imagine Georgina holding down a few starlets a la Handmaid’s Tale while Harvey went to town.

Is our “Nina Garcia, Chinless Creative Director for Marie Claire Magazine” troll still around? Your idol will be making an appearance next week!

I am so surprised. Who would think a woman who married Harvey Weinstein would be a horrible person?

My uncle was married to an asshole and he still remained a good person. So who knows what she went through.

Just from that instagram. Sean should win.

r392 - whenever Georgina gives a shitty critique I want one of them to look at her and go "didn't your husband rape a bunch of women?"

Not her fault. She didn't rape them.

Bravo, continuing to rerun the original series. Today it was the Jeffrey-Laura-(the late) Michael Knight-Uli season. The crazy one Victor and Kanye were also in that season and the rest were completely forgotten. The last minute drama was Jeffrey maybe using outside workers to sew his collection because the quality was so much better than his usual output. He was also missing a receipt for some leather work and he also exceeded his $8000 allowance.

I'm still in awe of Laura who was not only pregnant during filming but had four young boys at home. That woman is unstoppable. Her collection was the most sophisticated, targeting NY socialites.

The new season looks like the show has been revamped. I hope they bring back some of the early season favorites (ie, not Jeffrey) in some capacity.

Anyway, back to All Stars.

Michelle’s pitch patch dress deserved the boot. And she knew it. She was saved by her track record of rectangular dresses.

Bye Anthony (who’s design I didn’t mind at all).

Whose

I agree about Laura. Her finale dress was truly beautiful.

Michelle’s gown was hideous. But she had the best line of the night. “He’s Bea Arthuring that shit!”

Those ball gowns were awful...what the hell was wrong with them? A caftan to a ball? Maybe if you are 90 and have your Depends on.

It did make you think of Bea at 96, except she did not make it to 96.

...but that little southern blond guy was kind of adorable.

I think Michelle and her sassy hairdo's will go far in this competition.

how can one take that show seriously when its hosted by dwarf lasty, Alissa M. …. the epitome of non fashion.

OMG yes they re-ran the original PR season 1. There can be no equal to Wendy Pepper god rest her soul.

Well, none of the designs were royal (LOL) ball gown. That would be something in the vein of Marchesa, Galliano -era Dior, Charles James. IOW, volume, kittens. And they really weren't given the budget for that considering it had to be silk.

As a mere "formal" gown, I thought Biddell should've won, his had the drama but the gown didn't move well at all. Irina's, great through the hips but unfinished and the tulle was a mess. Plus she played it safe using black. A deep purple would've been better. Anthony Ryan, I loved his color story. The yellow and the pale purple-gray was unusual, liked the idea of feathers as drops of watercolor, but a caftan is society benefit dinner, not gala ball. Same with Dmitry, the flower appliques were well done but too casual and the skirt below that was a mess. This was Palm Beach society benefit.

Michelle deserved to go home. The slinky silhouette and the color story (1970s wallaper) was again, too casual. It was lumpy and didn't move well. The model couldn't walk in it despite the very high slit in the back. hers was worse and she knew it.

R413, and it shows you how far reality TV has come. I watched the entire season with some young relatives a while back. No one could believe that Wendy was the villain. On the other hand, they all turned on Kara Saun with a passion.

AM appears to be unused to the heels she wears on the show given how she waddles out each week. Ridiculous.

Kara Saun was a total bully and, as it turned out, a hypocritical cheat. She and the fat winner were brutal to Wendy.

Jay and Kara Saun did not think Wendy deserved to last that long and be a finalist.

They were right, and the audience felt the same way. And frankly, her final collection was not in the same league as theirs.

Rewatching that finale, Kara Saun just doubled down on the shoe thing. She just couldn't grasp the difference between basic high heel samples (and Jay spraypainting them to get the right color) and her custom designs. And the judges "instructed not to look at the shoes". Ridiculous.

Jay's was the best. I thought it was a great take down of Kara when they basically called her out for copying Gucci. Jay had the best line about Wendy's. It was what a house frau thought the young kids would want. God I miss Michael Kors as a judge. He was soooo brutally honest. I think season one they kept Wendy in - for the drama. Then in the final 4 - when they all sort of failed I think everyone was shocked when Nancy O'Dell said "of all of them I can wear Wendy's" and god love her she did. Unlike Heidi who told Jay to create an emmy dress for her to wear because PR was nominated, then she refused to wear it. I still remember the special where jay sat watching the emmys with the dressed layed out on the couch next to him. That was good TV. PR is bad now because everyone gets along to their faces then talks shit in confessional.

[quote]Those ball gowns were awful...what the hell was wrong with them?

A lot of designers consider ball gowns boring, they aren't exactly cutting edge fashion. You can tell how not inspired by this challenge most of them were.

Also having Nina here this episode was very refreshing. I appreciated how she defended Biddell's look to Isaac and Georgina.

Also, I have to say, I was legitimately surprised to see Isaac seemed to have no qualms eliminating Anthony Ryan. I expected him to fight against it some.

Granted, legit ball gowns need a budget higher than what they were given. Still, if you consider all the entries at an equal level, Anthony ryan’s Caftan was better executed and had a better silhouette and fit than Michelle’s messy, distorted, lumpy rectangle. She was wise enough to admit it.

Also, can we please take the old Bravo rerun comments elsewhere? Even the comments are old reruns.

I’m bored.

Milano takes the show to a dustbin level....of tv trash.

if the hostess is a miniature bag lady, how can the show be viewed without very dark sunglasses.

Iris Apfel rules!

[quote]I have to say, I was legitimately surprised to see Isaac seemed to have no qualms eliminating Anthony Ryan. I expected him to fight against it some.

R422, that really surprised me, too.

I googled black tie gala gowns and Oscar de la Renta and their website turned up a lot of evening dresses and many many caftans in the $5000 price range so Anthony Ryan was definitely on to something. I was never a fan of his but I like what he has done this season. I do l like Michelle but her gown was skimpy.

Anthony Ryan might have saved himself if he would have ditched the feathers, and maybe made his caftan a bit more elegant by adding an open back or something. His fabric choice was still off, though. His use of blue and yellow always gives his designs a bit of a majorette vibe.

^^ I agree. When he first put a few feathers on the shoulder it looked pretty. Then he overloaded them and made it look like a costume. I thought he was on to something at first.

Athony Ryan's dress was just bizarre. I get that he was going for an ombré effect, but - as a previous poster pointed out - it looked like the model has a hary chest. It made the light dress top heavy in a very awkward way. I may be the only one, but I did like the simplicity of AR's dress with the white and yellow. Maybe not perfect for a gala ball but still.

Irina’s dress was the only one that had a chance of being worn at a royal ball. She was smart in her construction because her budget didn’t allow for enough silk. So, she left tulle where more silk should be. If the negative space (with tulle) was filled in with more silk in a contrasting color, the dress would be gorgeous and more than appropriate for a ball.

All the others were cruise ship formal, if that.

So I didn't get the chance to watch this tonight but Biddell won and no one was eliminated?

Did we learn how long they'll get for their collections? Is it some utter bullshit 3 days like All Stars normally does?

Sounds like it, R433. Isaac said "see you next week" to Biddell.

Fuck that twist. Dimitry sent down boring, dated, ugly crap, just as he has done all season. I have no desire to see his mumsy collection. He should have been sent home.

I want my own show goddammit.

It’s funny that they extended the episode by a half hour but still didn’t even pretend to be able to build any suspense or tension in the ending. Normally they’d cut to commercial, show judges debating at length, long speeches to the bottom two, a setup for elimination, and then...you’re both going through!!!

Last night? “We couldn’t decide, so we have a twist! Both go through.”

Plunk.

Maybe Lifetime just has terrible writers and none of the producers or judges is smart enough to realize how to craft drama into a reality show?

This all-white global season is a real anomaly for 2019. Is Lifetime’s primary audience Trumpsters?

Frumpy, Dumpy, and Dull, Inc.

I thought Michelle’s hippie husband was cute...

Create clothes for every day nonfashionable people.

Judges: This isn't a cutting edge high fashion look.

No shit, dress a normal person challenges always generate pretty pedestrian clothes.

The Canadians this season were cunts.

Love Bidell and his family.

To me it's clear that the judges had to twist themselves in order to argue in favor of Dimity not getting eliminated.

And I am sorry, but some of the female family members looks came off as uncomfortable wearing these tight skirts and Dimitri's mom with the trousers looked incredibly frumpy, because the clothes were way too big for her. Again, Dimitry should have gone home. He choked. That shirt cut out from the boy's design made me so angry with the lower end being so detached from the shirt. It looks like it was party ripped off or something.

I blame georgina. In fact I blame georgina for everything.

I thought Irina was going home for her boring outfits on the women or Michelle for her hideous fabric choices.

I knew Biddell would be safe because he was the only non-US-PR designer left but he really pulled it off.

Ugh, I forgot they only have a short time to create the final colkection. What is it, three garments?

[quote]To me it's clear that the judges had to twist themselves in order to argue in favor of Dimity not getting eliminated.

The judges have coddled Dmitry on several occasions, they obviously do not want to eliminate him.

At least this season has shown the world something I've always thought, Dmitry is not of the stronger winners to come out of Project Runway. I mean look at his final collection again.

Good point, R446.

If the show is fair I think Bidell has a pretty good chance at winning the season. Great TV personality (bitchy without being extra mean) and great designs.

I agree, Bidell for the win. Several of his designs were safe when they should have been toP three.

In case you were curious

Irina: 2 Wins, 6 Highs Scores, 3 Low Scores

Michelle: 2 Wins, 4 High Scores, 3 Low Scores

Biddell: 2 Wins, 3 High Score, 1 Low Score

Dmitry: 1 Win, 2 High Scores, 3 Low Scores

Irina has definitely been their favorite.

All Stars finally gets some press..

[Quote]How ‘Project Runway All Stars’ Became an Ad for Nothing

[Quote]On many episodes of “Project Runway All Stars” Season 7, which airs its final episode Wednesday on Lifetime, the host and judge Alyssa Milano has announced that the week’s winning design will be sold on JCPenney.com the following day.

[Quote]Except that’s not true. Viewers who are looking for a ready-to-wear version of a winning look from “Runway” veterans like Dmitry Sholokhov or Irina Shabayeva are presented with a message on the department store chain’s website that the collaboration with J.C. Penney has been discontinued.

Dead mom on tape. And Irina was gonna hire her as her salesperson. 😢

I think I like dimitry’s the best...

That must hurt if Irina's watching this ep

Irina or Bidell will win this. Dmitry’s collection was hoochie tacky (he finally took those unconnected fabrics to a new low with the face profiles) and Michelle’s 1972 skirts with the transparent gypsie sleeves (and her inevitable cava green touch) did not do it for me.

If Michelle wins with those tinfoil hobo boho schmattas. . . And those glasses!

AAAAND she did....

Cue blown panty shields...

I actually think the judges crowned the right collection, Michelle's was the strongest.

HOWEVER, Dmitry being the runner up was a joke. I choked on my tea when Isaac said he couldn't decided between Michelle and Dmitry.

Irina should have been in 2nd place. Biddell and Dmitry's collection both had more serious issues.

(insert comment on how judging these "collections" when they literally have 4 days to put together these 6 looks is such a joke. It isn't a real collection, it is just another PR challenge)

I can't say I was wowed by Michelle's collection, but she did create some interesting patterns and textiles, which takes a lot of creativity. They could've easily been hot messes, but they worked.

Bidell had some fresh and innovative designs, but a few of them looked too Supervillainess costumey.

Irina's designs were beautiful, impeccably tailored. Perhaps a little too safe.

Dmitry... same old cutout shit. Never liked his stuff. Taste level questionable. Overrated.

The order of the elimination and the winner is how I called it. I liked Michelle’s the most. All of them had nice pieces, though: Irina’s white lace outfit, Bidell’s cork dress, and Dmitri’s black beaded outfit.

Honestly, Dmitry should design for the Shah’s of Sunset, Ivana Trump and ice skating follies.

I could see Michelle's clothes on fit younger and older women. I am glad she won . I couldn't imagine Dimitri's looks on any young girls, no matter the technical skill. His red jacket was amazing for a four day challenge, yet I could only picture it on an ART MOM at a gallery opening. She would get a lot of nice compliments though. Irina's was cool. Biddel's, good and bad. Thanks for 7 year's of ALL. STAR episodes. I haven't missed one!

It was touching seeing Mondo comfort Irina at a difficult time. He should be mentor on the new season of PR. He has a sensitivity that Siriano lacks, plus he has a great taste level

I actually think Michelle deserved the win. Dmitry's shit is so old and mumsy, as Nina and Michael would say, and I hated the tuxedo pants with cutout tuxedo stripe that Isaac went on and on about. They looked trashy and the accompanying top with the faces, while I recognize it required a high level of technical skill, was just cheesy. r462 has his number.

It made me laugh that Biddell's collection was Illuminati inspired, and a couple of of his pieces were cool, but he strayed too far into the reptile costume zone.

Irina's stuff was well constructed and elegant, but a bit of a snooze. Michelle's pieces were striking and cool, and her collection was the only one with any edge to it. The judges kept remarking on how they like her woman and indeed, she was the only designer in that finale who seemed to be designing for someone interesting and groovy.

I'm happy Michelle won. Given his comments immediately afterward, Dmitry is a sore, sore loser. Who would want to work with someone like him?

Will MIchelle's sassy hairdo get it's own Lifetime reality show?

Yawn.

Hated Michelle's collection just as much as I hate her. Wanted her to lose every week from the first week.

Alyssa’s tits looked ginormous, and not in a good way.

Even though I don't like Michelle, I loved her collection. I loved that orange/peachy outfit. Her clothes were hip, young and imaginative.

She kept going on and on about how her and her hubby were struggling financially. I'm surprised she didn't get a job in the fashion world.

I've never been much of a fan of Michelle's but her final collection was really fab. Those fabric combos were not only remarkable but extremely difficult to sew together with that kind of effortlessness. I'm glad she won.

IMO Biddell should have been second, Irina third. I have never understood what they see in Dimitry.

I really liked a lot of Biddell’s stuff. He had my favorite pieces, even though all of them weren’t successful.

Dimitri's collection was elevated Russian hooker wear.

Biddell didn't find the right level mixing street wear with Disney villain costume. But he had some stunning pieces.

Irina's collection was quite stunning. But a bit too save.

Michelle's was fun and in a way quirky with the mixed patterns. Elevated boho chic.

The moment the show repeated how much Michelle struggles financially I knew she wins it. It's Lifetime after all. But I have to say that all four collections were pretty good or at least interesting.

All the judges were going on about Irina's white lace number, which was very pretty, but nothing we didn't see on a hooker in a Dean Martin Matt Helm movie c.1967.

Michelle's collection was very cohesive. I like the bohemian vibe, it was gorgeous and hip. I don't understand why she's struggling so badly while the others are doing okay. She didn't make a name for herself as one of the winners of PR?

Biddell looks so much hotter fully dressed.

[quote]nothing we didn't see on a hooker in a Dean Martin Matt Helm movie c.1967.

You say that as if it’s a bad thing.

So, when did Michelle receive the prize money? Right after the show was finished or after the final episode aired (which is quite some time after it was filmed)?

Good question. I hope she didn't have to wait two years for the final episode to air.

[quote]I don’t understand why she’s struggling so badly while the others are doing okay.

Are they? Most seem to have modest careers. Chloe Dao and Uli (sp?) have their own stores but certainly not fashion empires. Jay, the first PR winner, disappeared. Others, like Laura, left fashion altogether. Designers like those on PR are basically freelance artists and are lucky to scrape by with any kind of profit. It is a difficult life for most.

I think that Austin has a successful wedding gown business, and of course Siriano is PR’s break out star, but they are the exceptions.

I was shocked by how much I like Michelle’s final collection, I’m glad she won.

I was wondering, now that PR moved back to Bravo, do you think they’ll ditch the previous seasons’ casts? There seemed to be dependable workhorses like Dmitry, Michelle, Mondo, etc etc who come back over and over for reunions, “All Stars,” etc. I think that the gravy train may be over for them since the show seems to be going for something new (and wants to distance itself from the Lifetime years too).
