I couldn't agree more about the sob stories on the runway and throughout the show. I don't want to hear another word about missing of babies, Afghanistan, difficult journeys, coming out stories -- none of that. There's a fine line between getting some background on a contestant and playing little violins in the background incessantly to up the chances of a sympathy vote.
This comment is GOLD! Bravo/PR peeps I hope you're

That was one fugly mess of a runway show, I’m not a fan of floral prints, but there wasn’t one look I even somewhat liked.
So Chantelle wins on a ‘whisper’ of floral print the judges were squinting to see. But it was her sons birthday so…It was about time Darren went home but the other two bottom hideous looks should have gone home too. I’m getting tired of all the sob stories but Katie throwing Christian under the bus for her clown costume (again) was a bad idea.

This post is full of truth! I've been dying for Darren to be sent home but Katie and Sabrina's looks were most tragic.
I liked Zayden's short dress with pouf shawl thing. It would have been stunning in that black and white print Octavio used!
I somewhat liked Kristina's kimono robe, but I didn't see any particular design heights being reached either in the creation of the print or the execution of the robe. A robe is a robe. 🌹I must admit I didn't get showing it over the shiny red jumpsuit.
Anna's china doll look was ok, but I've seen it on PR a few times.
Coral can really sew and fit clothes!
lol Gigi said Katie's look was "craftsy". Ol' girl literally has a glue gun in her hand half the time
btw, did you know Sabrina was from Afghanistan? 🙄 It's like she has some compulsion to repeat it over and over.

If that woman's breasts were allowed to assume the position she would have achieved by wearing a bra, there would have been two nipples poking out right in the middle of the cutout.
Really? I agree that I would like a longer look at the garment going down the runway, but I always thought the judges' scrutiny of the construction was patently unfair. Those designers would never send something out stuck together with scotch tape and chewing gum if they weren't under ridiculous time constraints. It's about the design aesthetic*, not the tailoring.
Yesterday, on an episode of Chopped, the judges complained that the cheftestant should have allowed the dough to rest, ideally chill a bit in the blast cooler. FFS, people, she had 20 minutes to get an appetizer on the plate. No resting! No chilling!
#######
*I can't believe I said "design aesthetic."
We got off on a whole string of posts about those services where you can freeze frame and replay because many many people stated that less than a minute look on the runway was just not enough to take it all in. That's most important. Totally agree with that!
One person reminded us that Zac Posen was practically always first up off his chair to start touching and checking out the garments when that used to be part of the show. 😊Now granted, the design aesthetic is most important as plenty of people can sew but coming up with truly fresh garments that people want to wear is artistry.
That's a totally valid viewpoint if you don't think they should consider the quality of the sewing under those very short time constraints... just the overall look. However if they have time to ask the contestants about these hyped up, made for TV mini dramas in the workroom like we had in week 2, I for one stick by preferring to see everything related to fashion on PR over that BS.
Then another consideration might be when there are two contenders for the winning look and one is beautifully sewn and one is tied, tucked or taped. Should the workmanship enter into the competition then? 🤔

How many more episodes do we have to slog through? 1? 2? Not only is it a downer, I see nothing here that couldn't have been folded into a 90 minute movie. I kept thinking for sure Isaac was going home to confess IN THIS EPISODE! ... and Billy would get out of prison. but no, true to form this trash story is unfolding at a snail's pace.
If this mishegas goes into a second season I'm not watching. I'm sure there's something more enjoyable I can do with an hour on Sundays.
There are three movies so depressing they killed any desire in me to go out to see a movie: Ironweed, Barfly and Lorenzo' Oil. This may have done it for me as far as TV series go.

I agree! We need longer looks at all of the designs in the competition.
One thing that ticked me off last week with all that overly dramatic BS Kenneth feeling voiceless and humiliated as he'd never been before...🙄
was that it showed apparently they have the time! We're saving the time the hostess used to take up and the button bag model selection thing and all that. I felt badly for the safe designers excused from the runway whose design was shown for less than a minute. I'm sure they could have benefitted from some feedback from the judges, too. They're in this competition and they don't know at this point if they're going in the right direction or losing the interest of the judges more and more with each look they present. At least Aaron has gotten an atta boy or two.
...and I'll have to go back and listen to the comments about Chasity nearly being eliminated? In the color challenge? Damn, they have a nerve! Casey shouldn't have even been eliminated much less Chasity's design be on the chopping block. Meg's was much worse than either of theirs and we had a guy that didn't make anything! [Darren].

So just to make it crystal clear in case anyone from Bravo or Project Runway reads here looking for feedback...
Viewers here (lots of us) have indicated we wouldn't be bored seeing much more of what goes into creating the designs in the workroom and we'd like the judges to examine the workmanship of the garments close up. Those one minute or less looks at each design while it's on the runway are just not enough. The designer's name isn't even displayed the whole time!
I really don't see how anyone can take in each contestant's look and remember what they liked about it, who made it, how the workmanship compared to the others, which ones they may have liked even more and whose should be in the bottom three. Especially when the field of contestants is so large. That's why we're discussing services where you can freeze frame and replay the runway!
Many of us are on record here stating we'd prefer PR spend time on these elements rather than these little fake dramas and exploring everyone's feelings.
please and thank you!

Getting back to the actual show, I honestly got the vibe that Kenneth felt he was safe because of his crying last week. I'm still gobsmacked that Nina of all people, fed into that with her 'oh you poor thing' bullshit. At least they didn't give him any outs this week as a result. I don't know how he made it on to this show but I don't think it's a case of being too young, it's more a case of he has no taste or aesthetic PoV. And that is something that the real Nina would have said to his face. What the hell has happened to Nina this season?!?
Absolutely.
I frequently hear one of the old judges or Nina in my head exclaiming "the taste level!" whilst clutching their pearls

When I first saw Bones' 'interesting' (odd? intriguing?) fabric that he'd brought from home, I immediately got this feel of something slinky that could have been worn by Carole Lombard in the 1930s. Sleek, chic, but somehow with a 'haunted' feel to meet the goals of the competition. (Wish I was a designer and could come up with the "rest of my idea." 😆) But I bet that Bones could have come up with something amazing.. Instead, I was kinda left with this "take" on Robin Hood or Peter Pan -- that combo of green; then gold with zigzag cuts. I keep envisioning the possibility of his sleek (deliciously slimy) green fabric hugging the model's front & with criss-cross back straps with dramatic batwing-style edging. A haunting '30's feel. (P.S. You can tell that I have NEVER been a designer. Bwahahahaha. But I just felt sad to see his fabric end up in Sherwood Forest.)
From the comments I'm reading about Bones' look (and you aren't alone...the judges put it in the bottom 3 after all), I have a feeling it's looking very different to me on a small TV. Maybe if I saw it on a 60" TV it would look different? The fabric he brought looked green in the work room but on the model and next to the bronze top it read kind of pewter-y to me. Between the model's awesome body, the way she walked the garment and Bones making it fit her like a glove it had an almost liquid quality on the runway. I could imagine it without the junky fringe and chains and a more subtle mask and it really working. Though by the time I saw it a couple of times I didn't mind the feather headdress.
...but then I may not know anything at all because I liked Octavio's (red mustache) look, and that thing is getting dragged to hell and back everywhere I went looking for photos of the designer's looks!

I went to the Bravo website thinking that maybe with each designer's info they might show each look they create adding the current one every week? Nah... nobody over there thought that would be a good idea

Who's going to go next?
artsy craftsy Katie?
p.s. how many of those oversized ruffly sailor collars does she have in her wardrobe, and will we ever see her sport another look?
Darren, who really hopes one day to get a date?
One of the 'S' girls, Sabrina? Shantal?

Bones is showing his limitations more with each week, but at least I feel like his look could've been salvaged with some editing; maybe this was intended more as a wakeup call for him. Whereas there was nothing flattering about Sabrina's flapping black loofahs, yet the judges and editors seem to forget she and Shantall exist—whenever those two finally get airtime, I'll know it's probably their terminal episode. It's not like Aaron, where I suspect they're keeping him mostly under the radar because he'll have plenty of time to shine later.
Wondering if it's my screen that made Darren and Prajjé's dresses appear less blood red and more Christmas red. Also, Darren's thirst issues are getting more time than his design abilities. Telling.
I got more Dia de los Muertos than Halloween from Kristina's. But good enough, I guess.
Katie was on the right track for once but she needed to figure it out sooner and develop it into something more polished. For starters, she should've nixed the red paint, which added nothing and made it look like her model was spotting. In a consistently even pattern, but still.
Not a fan of Octavio's dress and would've put Coral ahead of him, even if hers was entirely about the fabric. Anna's gave me Havisham nouveau vibes, in a good way. Chasity's model might've been restricted to baby steps, but since it meant more time to take in the dress as she passed, I'm calling it a feature rather than a bug.
Darren and Prajje's did appear Christmas red or at any rate a brighter red than I would choose for a gown. It didn't look to be a sophisticated red. Prajje's skirt portion had a slightly more fushia tinge than the top on my TV anyway... making the burgundy head covering a strange choice IMO.
Red? On artsy craftsy Katie's frock? Oh damn... I didn't see that. (I'm watching on a small bdr TV). Ol' girl really can't help herself, can she?

Aaron produced another fine effort. I await the day he wins a challenge.
He's got to I wouldn't have given him this particular win over Chasity, but it could be argued foe ep 1 or 2. Aaron has to be one of the designers left in the finale, I'd think.

The changes would have been made by production after the clusterfuck of the last episode.
I've already deleted this episode so I can't double check the exact instructions. Won't this be available tomorrow On Demand?
Yes. It is in my area. I can never wait, though!

I missed episode one and looked everywhere and found out that once they air the episode it is gone. Period. The only way to see episodes already aired is to pay for Peacock Premium which I had to do for a month (4.99) to see episode one. The streaming services are really out of control at this point. I feel like I am being extorted to be able to watch what I used to watch on cable or air even last year. They move stuff to streaming like they are locking it in a vault and only they have the key.
I love this season so far and am really enjoying the workroom and even some of the drama. Christian has always been my favorite mentor. What I realized tonight is that Nina isn't dropping any of her very clever but utterly rude comments so far like in seasons past. New Nina? Or too early in the season for the big stupid mistakes? Or more savvy group of designers?
I've been finding if I search You Tube just after the show airs I can find a video of the full episode someone has put up. They will usually get taken down in a few hours and then there will only be ones that try to lead you to click the link in the description box and watch somewhere else.

For me, the Top 3 were two nice gowns and one charred bell pepper.
I loved Chasity’s gown and thought they made the right decision. But I also liked Bones’s gown, so what do I know.
I hope Coral’s aunt gave her more fabric than she used. Because it would be a shame if she used her entire legacy gift on a mid-level gown. (A gown I also liked, BTW.)
You are not alone in that as I liked Coral's gown and I liked what Bones did. He just did too much. IMO it would have been a great look if he left off the chains and the metallic fringe. Even the crazy feathered headdress thing gas grown on me after looking at it a few more times. The sculptural element and liquid like shine set it apart from the others. I didn't think it should've been in the bottom, even as presented.
Some that were excused as safe were contenders for bottom 3 IMO like Sabrina's pile of black ruffled lace, Darren's red gown's top half was rather odd looking to me as was Kristina's placement of shiny bits on the abdomen of her sleeveless black gown.
Prajje's burgundy head covering with a red dress that already looked like 2 slightly different shades of red... I didn't get.
Even artsy craftsy Katie had a little moment. I'm really liking Octavio's work. I'll bet he's one of one's left to put on a runway show in the finale.

OK I'll calm down now, I found it on You Tube going to watch the runway before the video gets taken down

I've taken to pausing the screen when it's showing both a model and the designer's name, and then snapping a photo with my cellphone.
I wish I could do that 🙂
Possibly because I don't have a DVR box?

What is this BS with no repeat showing of Project Runway on Thursday night? How are we supposed to get another look at the runway? I can't even remember what Aaron sent down.😒

The back of Bones look was a mess, judges are right. I do still like the bodice portion though.

I need a longer look at each design. I think I liked Anna's, and the lady who worked with black lace fabric she brought from home, Chasity's, and Octavio's. I would have liked Bones without the crazy headdress and the silvery fringe around the bottom as I liked the sculptural feel.
Aren't there usually a lot of jewel tones associated with masquerade ball wear? and kind of minimal masks? (whether handheld or worn)

Week one he asked Christian out, now Darren is telling ghosts he's single and giving out his phone number? That boy needs a date!

It wasn't mentioned outright, but in the first episode, when he was getting ready to run off with his father's money, there's a brief shot of the SAT score report when he's taping documents to his leg.
Thanks... now I know I dozed off at that point.

Who wrote this mess and filmed it and thought it would be entertaining?
Seeing Isaac still walking, I was curious (and bored) so I Googled the price of a bus ticket from Pittsburgh to L.A.. It's $241 via Greyhound. ...but of course what someone who's trying to put distance between themselves and a crime does is leave themselves dependent on getting into strangers' cars or better yet, trucks.🙄
As though his own sister would never forgive Isaac for taking $241 out of the $4k she sent for their Dad's care. That much could have gone on meds and drug store incidentals.
I really regret getting started watching this.

S19.E04: Flower Power
in Project Runway
Are models Grace and Rachael considered plus size? Does anyone have any idea what size beautifu, tall, shapely Grace is? a 6 or 8 maybe? Whereas typical fashion models are what a 2? or even a 0?
Ivana and Dariana are the two obviously plus size models. Ivana wore Octavio's B+W dress and Dariana wore Bones' black skirt and floral top and half cape.
It's like dressing these different body types are like meeting completely different challenges.
Regarding Shantal's navy+white diamond pattern fabric with a whisper of floral that she made into a 3 pc ensemble that won... I noticed her model was an entire head taller than the other models and contestants when she walked off the runway after judging. She also has a very narrow build and is completely flat chested. I found myself wondering what that would look like on someone of average height that wasn't even plus size; just maybe 5"4" -5" 6" and sz 8 or 10? [I'm guessing not so good.]
Then there's Bones and Coral having used solid black skirts and some of the others used solid pieces too, such as Kristina's solid jumpsuit and Sabrina's pink overskirt thing...
Coral and Aaron used the floral pattern almost as a border with a solid background that made up half or more of their look.
IDK exactly what I'm trying to say other than maybe everyone should have to design for plus size women as one (or more) challenge; and in the case of this week's, if solids can be used and the garment doesn't have to be made entirely of the fabric they had created from what they drew... that should be made clear at the outset.
