  1. I miss Padma, but it might be more so a loss of familiarity. Personally, it felt a little first date clunkiness with Kristen, but I expect her rapport with Tom and Gayle will improve quickly in time. 

    There's too many people for me to formulate a strong opinion for any of them (except for the hat guy and the witch)

    I'm picking the pitmaster as the winner. It's an outside pick, but I like her, and that's enough for me right now.

  2. They're gonna have him at the reunion show talking his million hearts nonsense and the audience is all expected to applaud him but I sincerely hope he gets booed off the stage, but that'll never happen

  3. I've fallen asleep two two-hour episodes in a row. Survivor 45 was the first season of Survivor I've seen in well over a decade and enjoyed the 90 minute episodes just fine, but these contestants are wearing thin. In the four hours (minus commercials) that Ive seen, I can barely remember any of them. Even the quirky ones are getting on my last nerve. Fuck off Liz. I'm hoping it picks up soon, because maybe I'll come back for Survivor 65

  4. More often than not, the Snatch Game is hit or miss. I wouldn't say this edition was a miss, but it sure wasn't a hit. What really annoyed was it seemed each contestant/character had their own accompanying background music that was overtly manipulative. I was so focused on the music, it became distracting. I don't know, but this season feels like it has a lot of filler queens. 

    Mhi’ya’s runway ensemble reminded me of Seinfeld's pirate puffy shirt, which made me think Q should've dressed as Elaine doing her little kicks dance down the runway

  5. I was shocked, I tell you, shocked when Alison announced Matty as the winner. I've been rooting for him since episode one, but even I thought Josh's ho-hum final cake was enough to put him through. I assumed that the technical challenge win would be the deciding point, but Matty's chocolate cake must've been so damn good. I'm not a chocolate cake person, but I'm curious to try it myself.

    Some people dislike Dan, I personally hate Josh, but all in all, we can all agree the best part of the season was the addition of Alison

  6. I've been only half-watching from behind a computer screen this entire season, so I don't have a deep critique on any particular episode, but we are coming to the end , so here are some of my stupid thoughts:

    • I've been rooting for Matty since episode one. I know he has no chance of winning, but I'm glad he made it as far as he did. 
    • Josh has weirded me out since episode one, but I've kept that to myself. There's something about him that gives off Proud Boy energy that doesn't sit right with me. 
    • Dan is playing up his nice guyness, which I have no problem with, because that's just good manners. His desire to win seeps through, but it is a competition, so what can I say.
    • My only problem with Tasha is the jarring camera cuts to the interpreter. It's like bam, hands flying at me from the tv. Other than that, she seems nice enough and should be proud of her effort.

  7. 22 minutes ago, iMonrey said:

    I don't know, I do think the way a bake looks is important because if it's a mess it can look unappetizing. If you went into a bakery and the offerings were all messy looking you wouldn't want to buy any of them. So I'd say it was a fair decision.

    Now, if the Showstopper had been some elaborate construction creation they didn't have adequate time for and most of them were a mess, I'd agree, because that's been happening a lot for several seasons now. But there are a lot of simple but effective things you can do with cookies (biscuits) and most of the Showstoppers looked pretty good.

    You're not wrong, but after years of ringers, I still like to think that these are home bakers, not professionals per se. (although I'd remiss to think after this many number of seasons that is a naive way of looking at it) So, would I buy a sloppy looking biscuit in a bakery, probably not, but if I was offered one at a friends house, I'd totally take one. Actually, if I knew for a fact that it tasted great, I don't think it would matter in either venue.

  8. It took me a while, but I'm starting to warm up to the new cast, but I will say that the new host (whose name I'll finally remember in three seasons) is fast becoming my favorite out of all of them. 

    I love wagon wheels. I buy myself two packs at Christmas every year and dont the rest of the year, otherwise I'll balloon up. Needless to say, I was very much into the first challenge.

    I don't have too much to add other than I felt like they went with style over substance in regards to who went home (again, I'm terrible at remembering names) I felt it was beaver lady's time to go.

  9. so comes the end of our Project Runway not All-Stars but technically All-Stars season 20. I basically skipped all pre-runway because I just did't have the time to watch, but it was nice to see some quick cuts of Kara Saun. Overall, all three collections were very good. None of them wow'ed me, but all three should be proud of their effort.

    • Laurence is clearly her own muse, which I'm totally fine with. She reminds me a little of Laura Bennett from season 3 in that regard. She'll continue making garments for herself and if anyone else wants to buy them, that's cool. She really should consider a line of accessories. On the runway, I guess that one red/purple number fell flat. For some reason, when I first saw it, the model reminded me of Lena Dunham, which I thought explained my personal derision, but I guess the judges disliked it for other more appropriate to the contest reasons.
    • Like Laurence, you can also say Brittany is also her own muse, but whose aesthetics/craftmanship is more varying for different body types. It all fit into her brand, but I think she could have elevated it a tad. Having said that, eight days for eight looks (I think that was the parameters) is a tough sell. It was all very Gwen Stefani circa 2006, but early 2000s is just about due for a renaissance.
    • The editing pointed to a Bishmé win right after he said his sister died the first episode or so (I think he said transcended in the finale, which George Carlin has a whole bit about soft language, but I digress) I thought his collection was the least cohesive for eight pieces but would have made sense in a larger line, if that makes sense. more ideas than time allotted. I'm over the baseball cap gimmick.
    • I didn't miss Brandon.

    All in all, it was an okay season. I would rather it would've been an all-winners season (maybe non-elimination like Drag Race All-Stars season 7), but I'm pretty sure I'll never have to see Korto's sour face again, so I feel like I won, too.

  10. I tried to picture all these looks at like an MTV Awards red carpet, and I feel like none of them would be out of place, so good job designers. 

    Prajjé was the clear loser for me. It was all so discombobulated. None of his pieces were particularly good in the first place. That's the difference when it came to Laurence's look. I liked all her individual pieces, but it didn't have something to tie it together. 

    Brittany's look was solid. I get the whole referential thing, but it seemed more fun and playful than that one Timothy Chalamet wore they compared it to.  Rami's look seemed so familiar to me, too. I feel like I've seen it on someone like Jared Leto at the Met Gala. I can't place it, but I've seen a similar garment. I liked both just fine, but not as much as the judges did

    Who is left? Okay, Bishmee. Looked good, fit well. It was a good color for his model's skin tone. (I could never wear it) I like the hat just fine.

  11. Again, another one day challenge 😒

    Again, another asymmetrical design challenge 😒

    • Anytime I hear "I'm a grown ass woman/man," I know I'm about to hear some sophomoric tantrum. Lo and behold, it's Korto with her "mature" attitude.  I just can't with her and now I no longer have to, so yea for me. Anyway, her look this week looked like what an old person thinks a young person would want. It's a Wendy Pepper. 
      • I'd also like to add my real name is Séafra, and people mispronouncing my name is not that big of a deal for me. (my last is even more confusing, lol) 
    • I thought Prajje was gone this week. Outside of the granny couch pattern pyramids, the blue dress looked like a very nice bridesmaid dress from 1997.
    • Bishme's look needed two days at least. Liked the concept, hated the execution. 
    • Rami's look was extra safe. His looks are never really bad, but this could be something he made 20 years ago, and I wouldn't know the difference. I suppose you could graciously call them timeless.
    • The top two looks were both fine. I'm not sure either embraced the challenge brief any more or any less than the other, but both were good for 12 interrupted hours of work. I think if they did any more, either of them were just as susceptible at being in the bottom. I wish Kara Saun was still around, because I think she would have excelled in this challenge.

  12. So sad to see Kara Saun go, but yeah, it was bound to happen eventually. Overall, I found the runway looks a little expected, so not saying it was boring, but unsurprising.

    • so Korto can fuck right off. I've never like her since day one of whatever season she wormed herself in. I always give the people on tv the benefit of editing, but I've seen so much of her, I just can't anymore. She's always trying to be a little shit stirrer and then let things fester. Time and time again, she puts words in other people's mouths in the most negative context possible to only benefit her own brittle ego. I've crossed paths with selfish, egoists like her before and I've learned to not pay them any attention. She could be the second coming of Yves Saint Laurent, and I wouldn't spend a nickel on anything she made. anyway, enough about that miserable fuckwit
    • Bishme is really hitting his stride. I don't think I love the overall look as much as the judges did (and I have no idea how to construct anything, but it looked really technical) but I can see it appealing to a lot of popstars sans veil.
    • Rami's look was fine. I'm sure it was difficult to construct based on the judge's comments, but it didn't move me one way or the other. 
    • Brittany's look fit her "brand" (I hate that word) Note to Prajje: (and Korto... and Kayne if he was still around to stir the shit) you didn't invent wide leg cargo pants and wrap tops. That whole aesthetic fits Brittany's "brand" (again, hate) more than anyone else on the show, so for Prajje to feel copied is a bit much. 
    • Prajje, your look fit like shit. You're lucky Kara Saun felt like not playing the game any longer.
    • Kara Saun yeah, I don't read any comments before writing my dumb little posts, but I'm sure whatever I thought about her look has already been said. Again, so sorry to see her go. A lot of times, on Allstar seasons, an older contestant chooses to not play the game to win, and I felt that was the situation with Kara Saun. I get what she was doing, and I'm okay with that. I will say, when she was creating it, it looked like a costume for the gay cowardly lion, and the end result looked better than I thought it had any right to be. (It would've worked on Drag Race)

  13. There wasn't anything too egregious. Nobody turned out looking like Capt. Crunch, so let me rip them apart.

    • Kara Saun's outfit looked much too much. It was like a Michael Jackson epaulet number.
    • The minute anyone mentions jumpsuit, I automatically think of how do I go to the bathroom, so I wasn't a fan of Laurence's concept, and I wasn't a fan of her design either.
    • Bischme's look was my favorite by a country mile. (I did think the anchor looked stupid, tbh) I will say, I'm not a fan of jackets as part of the look, but I've never been on a yacht, so maybe it's necessary. I'm actually not sure I liked any jacket produced in this challenge. Rami's was a top look, too.
    • Britanny's look came out better than I thought. I'm not a fan of top stitching, but it works in this look.
    • Korto's was pretty blah and I think was less interesting than Prajje's.
    • Anna's was interesting, but failed in fit and function. Silk was what sunk her.

    • I was exited for this challenge, since I spent a long time trying to find a similar pair of jeans Christian made where denim jacket sleeves were the leg openings. (it was 2006 and I was like 20 years old, okay)
    • I hate one day challenges (I repeat again and again)
    • I liked Prajje's look just fine. Similar to all black outfits, denim can have a hard time reading the details on a television screen, so I think his look would come off better in real life. Bishme's was kinda boring, to be honest. The jacket saved him.
    • Kara Saun and Anna had the two worst looks for me. I actually appreciated what Anna was going for more so, even though I'm a Kara fanboy.
    • Korto had a strong showing, but her skirt looked like bike shorts to me for some reason. 
    • Rami's top was good, but I agreed with the judges that his bottom was awful in this fabrication. Oh well, he'll be back back back again.
