I would be more excited if those were the contestants and they were going to be naked throughout the show

but oh well

let's all get meeehhhhhhhhhhh

As always, I will watch this.

I resolve as always to not refer to anyone by name until at least halfway through the season if not longer

Not a hard resolution!

Damn, I keep thinking that the latest ANTM has already started, but I'm pretty sure that no one else gives a flying whoop anymore.

Is Heidi still the host? She's pulling duty on AGT now, yeah? PS I thought that was Rupaul in the top pic at first.

god I wish

actually I don't unless Ru could do PR without quitting Drag Race

there should always be drag race

Yes. Alternately, PR should incorporate more glory holes into the show.

kate is not like .1% the 'villain' several past contestnts have been, shd be interesting 2 see the edit she gets; im cool w her back tbh

u cant use any plugged in things or products on my model

this guy is teh trolliest contestant in the history of pr

ugh that enviro aspie is the worst troll ever. his poor model, she looked so bummed. loved zac pwning him for burning synthetics. "she looks like a burn victim" bwaha

oh haaay vajay bathing suit, lool zac "slutty cat toy"

the parachute dress was rad

whoever that blonde tired-lookimg dorothy parker is, I'm down with

i'm just happy to have zac back tbh

i lost it when no impact kid made his model walk barefoot & he wore GLITTER HIGH HEELS 2 the judging

I know right?

I loved the deaf guy saying he didn't really care if everyone was bitchy because if they got too annoying he could just turn off his hearing aid :D

Why are all the cute waify girls always so bad on this show? :(

Bad precedence that designers can ignore the challenge and not get canned for it -- not just Army Chick, but scissor tattoo girl who used a whole bunch of white didn't seem to get called out at all.

And did the judges actually point out the vag drop on Russian's swimsuit and the editors cut it? Or did they not want the model to die any further from embarrassment?

Really kind of gross the way the judges brought the models out and poked and prodded them and mostly talked around them like they were inanimate objects.

Kate == Daniel Franco II
Alexander Pope == cue "The Rape of the Lock" jokes

idk I kinda liked that the judges get to look at the dresses up close, so hopefully the shitty-ass sewers can get called out more than they have been in the past

harrumph

I still have leftover indignance on behalf of envirotroll's model -- I wanted to give her a hug, she was so bummed out by him

and like, I think that is 10 times worse than any poking or prodding by the judges. Make an awesome dress, and treat your model like a person who is going to make your awesome dress look 10 times more awesome... you will get SO much further than treating her like she's some sort of poseable fucking doll for you to use for your backyard theater fantasies

ragh

Don't get me wrong, letting the judges see the clothes up close is good, but for all their presence, the models could be mannequins.

xpost -- see I'm an enviro, and I want to get on board w/ his thing, though Zac gave voice to my initial reaction at him putting to fire synthetic materials. And I unno, I thought that if his model had a dance background, things would've gone better, but whatevs, the kid's not going to be around for more than a few more weeks.

UNLESS TIM SAVES HIM.

Anyway, I'm lusting after Braden's bow-tie collection.

it's just he just seems like he likes a lot of words and hates electricity but doesn't seem to have anything to back up his 'platform'. idk. he seems very smoke and mirrors to me with his enviro steez

(do u see what I did there)

lol yes

Oh just remembered, if I'd known that the designer getting brought back was being voted in by the fans, I would've written in Elena.

Looks like Swatch is already over this season.

this is the trollingest season of all time

lol @ Sandro referring to Tim as Amish.

PR was better when Heidi was pregnant all the time.

i wish PR had a firing squad - wailing helen + ecotroll tim my first nominations

Tim is basically me, tbh. ._.

there's no possible way that's true

I keep wanting to call Sandro 'Sanro'

Hello Kitty

there's no possible way that's true

An environmentally conscious anti-materialist hypocrite? That's me!

I know a lot of people who fit that description and none of them are as annoying as that Tim dude.

i like bradon, i think he is pretty talented afaict, obv an early frontrunner and also he should take his pants off

which one is bradon

the redhead with the beard

oh yeah I like him!

His parachute dress was stellar.

Don't leave out Bradon's excellent bow ties.

lololololol

"Vagina? Show me vagina!"

Which, come to think of it, explains his piece the first week.

all that stupid sturm & drang with helen & cap crazy pants distracted from the lovely proposal - it could have been a good ep & challenge if they hadn't took a huge dump in the middle of it

hate how there's so much more drama now, annoys the shit out of me

That's the state that most mature reality programs reside -- in the older they get, the less they're about fashion or modeling or whatever.

I got teary-eyed with the proposal, especially the 1 Week Later snippet (even though I was all "Oh noes Josh stole Braden's thunder!!!"), but I have to say, I thought he was going to be in B3. One of the designers said it was too literal, which is OTM.

Dom I wanted to like, too, but the bib of ties seemed a little heavy. Didn't Top Gunn tell her to open up the neck area during his critiques, and then she goes back to her original idea?

OK I give, worst cast ever.

I feel like they did a switch on me and half the cast have been bodysnatched by DanceMoms or some shit
the endless bitching and dramaqueenery is wearing really, really thin

am I the only one that wanted to see tiny Ken dangled out the window by his harness?

lol you're not anymore.

So glad to see the back of no-sew-Sue and her thirsty-ass dreads though

You're slaying me right now.

whiny dramaqueeny people bring out the worst/best in me

OK, was Sandro even real? It almost feels like he was some sort of Borat-type hoax the producers threw into the mix just to liven things up. I can see Tim at the end of the season during that wrap up show being all "Designers! I have someone special I want to introduce to you today! Everyone, meet Eastern European comedy sensation... SANDRO!" *gasps*

Tim Gunn rules so much

*wipes tears* dammit

welcome back, foaming vagina

loool

ken's style of speaking is like a pms-ing version of anthony from a few seasons ago

I kinda disagree. :( Sweet as he is, his stuff before now doesn't seem to warrant the save? But then, judging by this group of designers, might as well save the nice guy?

Well in the context of Tim Gunn *not* being a hardass who only wants the best designers, it's a very Tim Gunn save. And one of which I approve because I am a cuddlestein and I like nice ppl in the workroom

top gunns hand was trembling as he did it; 1 would think hed use it 2 add someone 2 the final design a collection cut but the judges seem 2 just do that anyway if they feel like it

SPOILERS!!!):

The one thing I'm loving this season is the breathtakingly inelegant product placement.

^^^

awkward yoplait dude was my favorite

omg there needs to be a gif of Swatch licking Tim Gunn's ear.

Also Alexandria makes zzzzzzzzzzzzz reality tv.

i didnt like her dress much, zac posen otm that it was boring

and o bradonpaws, that outfit was a bit of a mess

when is joan cusack getting eliminated? her dress & jacket were horrible

... do you mean Dom!?

no! karen whatserface with the big glasses and terrified laughter = she looks like joan cusack in sixteen candles

The redhead? Karen Batts?

yes!

i thought the pink/purple/blue quilted dress thing was obscenely hideous, no idea how that got left in the middle

that huge queen that made the awesome reptile leather thing is a great designer + also pithily hilarious

he is a strange little dude

knew from the 1st instant they showed this girls sketch that she was done this wk

lol @ kors "i still think it's a fat chick getting a cookie"

i felt kind of embarrassed for the designers, especially alexandria with Kors' critique. i never in my life want to hear michael kors say 'pleasure-me pockets' again

I'm glad that Tim Gunn spoke up about the poopy pants, ie what's she supposed to do, Heidi was totally down with her look etc

I think Kate's look was better than Helen's. Also I'm starting to turn a corner on Ken maybe. idk.

ken is p hilarious, he should get a spinoff def

i dont understand a drop crotch, like in any sense

Attn Veg, cast for All Stars 3 announced, get thinking on appropriate thread title.

Also, cue requisite "They're going to run out of designers" ejaculations, I'm just happy a certain feral Ukranian will be on my screen again.

wait Jeffrey and Korto AGAIN with all-stars?

they couldn't get anyone else?

my muse for the thread title is either going to be Christopher or Elena

also apropos of nothing except that I just found this, LOOK

♥

wait Jeffrey and Korto AGAIN with all-stars?

they couldn't get anyone else?

They've run out!

sad

jeffrey's probably broke again (/still)

Jeffrey probably still has a misspelled neck tattoo, and that awful facial hair.

If I had to guess, the fix is probably in for Christopher (whose name I completely had forgotten, I thought it was the chin-strap Chris in the Irina season), since he was the judges' pet gone astray. More realistically, though I never got her designs so much but everyone else on the internets love her, Kortu probably deserves it more.

I am almost caught up w/ this!! I just saw Karen get eliminated for the awful Heidi New Balance thang. OMG the product placement this season is APPALLING!!

YOUR FASHION TODAY WILL BE INSPIRED BY YOPLAIT

uh what?

Guys imagine if on like Season Siriano you were told there would be a YOPLAIT challenge; this shit is an Onion article made manifest

I can't wait for the NETGEAR ROUTER challenge or the TOWNHOUSE FLATBREAD CRISPS challenge or the QUICKEN QUICKBOOKS challenge

the Belk one was so handwavey it was ridic

this episode was not exactly trainwreck but just kinda weird

When Ken got aufed, you can see that Heidi, standing on the floor, is just a head shorter than him while he's on the stage.

I'm really disliking Helen more and more as she keeps winning. Her fake humility is gross.

She's the one that Tom & Lorenzo call afternoon special, right? I love that about her!

"After School Special." And, in a personal favorite, they call Ken "Coco Montrese" (which is an insult to the real Coco Montrese).

Oops, I definitely meant After School! And yeah, Coco Montrese does seem like a harsh insult to the real Coco - she sucked, but not in quite the spectacularly evil way Ken does.

BTW what is up with designers on this show hearing "job interview" and putting them in boring suits?

And I swear that print Dom picked out has been used before, if not earlier this season then not too long ago.

Ken has a bit of Coco's death-laser & that clipped, v proper way of speaking but he's waaaay crazier than Coco ever was

When Kate was all, "I hope the judges give me another chance," I was all, "Which would be your third chance."

Pretty sure she got the boot not because her piece looked like butt, but because she called the challenge the HP Challenge, when it's actually the HP-Intel Challenge. Don't piss off your sponsors!

her dress was bad. like Alice in Wonderland reimagined as a 20's iceskating costume. the pleating was like, whaaaaat

I read in the comments of TLo's recap that Kate couldn't print out her original idea of using binary code to create patterns, and some people are all, "Aww, that's too bad," and I'm thinking to myself, "Do you all really think that ASCII art on a dress is fashion?"

lol

So Heidi likes sausage.

i wish there were more christian sirianos whenever the avant challenge comes up -- no-one's ever eccentric enough for my taste. I got briefly excited for Helen's zodiac-killer hood/cocoon thing and then that was stomped on :( it kinda seemed a bit mcqueen to me, I would have liked to see it taken all the way.

i feel bad bc I like helen's talent, but I hate her to watch on the show. she's so horrible in almost all ways except sewing. I can't see how Alexandria or Justin could possibly beat her with a collection. Not that I really like either of them terribly as designers. shrug

Loved Dom's cool jumpsuit/poofy jacket thing. That girl is a print genius.

judges were straight jizzing over braden, mostly deservedly tbh

yeah I didn't get nina getting all teary over it though, I was like it's good but cmon

i wish there were more christian sirianos whenever the avant challenge comes up -- no-one's ever eccentric enough for my taste.

That dress was more of a Chris March joint imo

yeah troo

I got briefly excited for Helen's zodiac-killer hood/cocoon thing and then that was stomped on

I was mentally screaming at my computer monitor that she should make a vest/dress/skirt one-piece thingy out of the cocoon, but with a really high collar (the back of which could extend straight up above her head), with whatever orange thing she was working on before. Was the technique she ended up using taken from the Chris Palu playbook?

Also surprised to see the positive reaction to Bradon's noodles -- I thought they were placed randomly/tastelessly. I thought it would've looked a lot better if they had been arranged in a long skirt to resemble a flower shaped like this, and then the top could be the butterfly drinking from the flower -- instead of noodles tacked onto a piece of fabric.

And smoky eyes and tight chignons for everyone, because I don't know any other styling choices.

i wish there were more christian sirianos whenever the avant challenge comes up -- no-one's ever eccentric enough for my taste.

But this, though, I think that PR is rarely going to have contestants with enough vision and technique to pull off something that has a real bit of the avant to it.

And yeah, Chris March is the secret genius wunderkind of season 4.

i feel bad for forgetting that it was mostly chris march on that challenge :( sorry chris

yeah the noodles weren't placed in a way I was v happy with either. i kind of wanted more insect-feeler movement out of them, I hoped they'd have more length coming off the dress so that they bobbed around more

Remember Chris's human hair outfit in his final collection? I think that indicates who brought the avantness in his and Siriano's look.

I have to say that when the model in Alexandria's redux pants turned around, I stopped everything I was doing.

Love when Dom and that one model team up (the one from this challenge, and the Domo-kun one), they seem to vibe off each other 100%.

alexandria's pants were p awesome. i just wish she'd taken that goth dress further, it could have been so much more interesting than it was

omg @ tim gunn w the gash on his head

D: It kept shocking me every time some time passed and I saw those cuts again.

lol Alexandria using child labor for her collection.

lol Dom: "Nooooo... I mean, congrats..."

omg I didnt think i would get my wish but I did

:D

Which wish was that? Child labor?

that helen would gtfo

otm

the "my boyfriend's eye" print she made looked like acidwash denim yeesh

clairvoyance orly i see that you are going home, squinty

LOLOL YES.

Alexandria doesn't usually make good reality tv, but she was OTM X 10000 when she called Helen's collection student work.

PS I was talking about my favorite reality shows w/ new coworkers this week and remarked that they're all on the swishy end of the spectrum: ANTM, RPDR, and PR. One of them said that PR wasn't that gay, and I really had no response for her.

lol

mr veg calls it the "gay tailor show"

http://24.media.tumblr.com/f1f4007e3807f5f39edfe40fef3dc460/tumblr_mqx1kye4Fy1r6dr17o1_400.gif

Ugh if he's gay I'm going to start fancying women.

I mean it's bad enough that I have to share my country of residence w him

i think you're safe, he only fancies unicorns

Did not expect the way things wrapped up! I'm glad Dom won, but I'd been hoping that she'd gone in the direction she took w/ the avant garde piece, and underwhelmed generally by most of the collections. I mean, Alexandria's (!) was my favorite!

Anyway, other thoughts:
Who was the drag queen behind Justin's family?
OMG Jay Manuel sighting!
Keep forgetting to mention Justin's Tilda-looking model.
Also <3 Kima Greggs-looking model -- when she hooks up with Dom, results are always fun.
WTFery of Alexandria stressing about introducing her collection, then it's literally, "Hi, my name is Alexandria, I hope you enjoy my collection."

To answer my own question, the drag queen was none other than Acid Betty!

Also, omg @ Alexander's collection: http://tomandlorenzo.com/2013/09/project-runway-finale-collections-alexander-alexandria-bradon.html

Aaaand All-Stars begins this week, oy.

:D
