I'm another one that loved Coral's looks. I actually thought if it were based on her runway alone, she should have won.
I liked most of Shantall's designs during the season and wasn't surprised she won but I didn't like the collection she put out. I didn't see luxe in it at all. Looked like Elvis pants with a boxy blazer. I didn't see her collection selling and imagined it being all dirty in my local Ross store hanging from a rack.
Chastity's collection really seemed like the same stuff we've seen her do all season. I totally agree -- her looks were what Cher would wear. I didn't see Beyonce in it at all.
I actually thought Kristina's print was really beautiful. I wasn't a fan of her work but I thought it was interesting.
Also, I agree Chastity's finance is freaking gorgeous as is Shantall's husband! And like others, i'm tired of the "journey" tearful stories, and I'm also tired of hearing the "empowering" designs trope.

If I picked the collection that had the two single outfits I loved best, it would be Shantall's (the black and white ones).
If I picked the collection that had the highest overall number of outfits I liked vs. disliked, it would be Kristina's. I was quite surprised by her collection and I really like the prints.
I like quite a few of Coral's too. I would have been fine with any of the three winning.
I hated everything in Chasity's except the one blue/purple top and pants that had nothing to do with the rest of the collection. I suppose celebrities could wear her stuff on stage, but even for that, it wasn't very attractive. Just tacky and dated, IMO. The finale dress didn't even make an impact because of all the ruffles coming down the runway before it.
If you have to state yourself how important to the industry you are, then you are not. TH's tunnel vision judging even made me miss Elaine.
Tacky and dated is brilliantly put.
I don't know how she made it this far other than the PR powers that be wanted all female final four. I don't really think we've seen anything original from her.

Yes. I've said before that Kate is the most underwritten lead character in any TV show I have watched. She goes from life event to life event with no character development. She has also gone down the most stereotypical storyline for female character--meet cute, wedding, parenthood, marriage in trouble for 3 episodes before getting back together, second child, etc. And we are to see her divorce and find love again. Yawn.
I will say one of the only things I like about the way they are treating the character is that her size is not a detriment to her attractiveness to other men.
I think Chrissy is beautiful, but we all know the men that are not attractive in the slightest bit but think they should be with a supermodel.

I must have missed it. I just think they way people are horrified and keep emphasizing "three bottles of wine" in all caps seem like it is understood that she put away 3 full size bottles, when it was more like 3-4 glasses of wine. That might be a lot, but she was on a plane on the way to her honeymoon. Why not?
Trust me -- it wasn't even 3-4 glasses of wine. The mini bottles are much smaller than a normal glass of wine you'd get at a restaurant. I doubt she was even drunk if she had 3 of the small bottles on the plane (although airport bar is probably the start of drinking).

Everyone farts. Everyone poops. I can see that there are more and less polite ways to do these things but it's not Mark's fault the toilet clogged. I thought it was ridiculous for Lindsey to bring it up, even though I could understand why her feelings were hurt.
Yeah, the thing to have said would be:
"Wait, now you want to go slow, but having sex with me several times isn't too fast?"
I'm confused why that wasn't her go to?

I too was wondering why if the situation is so severe ( Alyssa and Chris) -why why why with all these experts on board why why why there is no "ok let's all sit down and discuss"...... very strange and very wrong.
And can I just say I am so not team Lindsey . While it might have been 3 of the airplane bottles of wine, that's still a lot of wine to consume. Give me a break. The flight from Boston to PR and 3 glasses of wine? It's like 3 or 4 hours. Right, like not crazy indulging but seriously a lot more than people I see on planes.
Those little airplane bottles of wine are much smaller than what you'd get if you sat down to eat at a restaurant/bar. Three of those would probably be like 1 1/2 glasses of wine is you're at a restaurant, so to me, that wasn't an unreasonable amount in a 3 to 4 hour setting when you're on your honeymoon and aren't driving.
That said, if the wine hit her hard and that's the reason she was being obnoxious, that's a different thing. However, she's obnoxious sober so I doubt that is the reason but the excuse for why she was being obnoxious.

I don't interpret "Municipal Wastewater Operator" as garbage man. I work for a federal agency that manages lots and lots of infrastructure and the people who run our locks and dams and other projects would have a similar title. He likely has an engineering or technical background of some sort and helps keep a plant running.
Right -- he probably operates plant machinery, not jumps off the back of a garbage truck. He would've had to be at least certified.

I wonder if 75% of the show is producer manipulation!
Right -- although I believe Alyssa is 100% being real!
I wouldn't be surprised if Noi was encouraged by production "tell him you''re falling in love with him" right after she said that during the confessional.

I just watched the conversation between Mark & Lindsey. Yes, maybe they had sex once or ten times the first night. He liked what he saw. After a few days, and about three confrontations between the others, he saw she’s a problem, so wants to pullback with the sex. She could pull a fast one, go off birth control or whatever, and become pregnant. Then, he’s up shits creek. What then? He’s scared right now, and I don’t blame him. This is a chance he took, and he’s probably sorry he did this. Plus, she told the world about his habits. Not nice. He has his hands full now, and probably wants to split. Who knows what she will do now. Will he trust her and have sex again? He’d be a fool.
According to her, the sex was that day wasn't it?
I could understand feeling hurt and confused. That said, the annoyance factor with her is high.
I do wonder if it was producer manipulation with the "take things slower" as both MTS and Steven conveniently used those words. Although like Noi, she was throwing around the love word on camera, although apparently she didn't say it directly to him.
Maybe both of them are doing the "never felt this way before" stuff to both and that freaked them out. I mean, even if I did sign up for this show I'd be freaked out hearing someone act as though they are in love, feel love after 3 days.

I've come to realize falling in love is mostly an emotional infatuation drug. Its not what can keep a marriage going through thick and thin (not sex either). It will wear off. You need much better reasons than something ephemeral like falling in love. As people live longer marriages last longer. No one is going to be madly in love with their spouse for 20, 30 maybe even 50 years down the road. Compatibility (digging each other) Attraction (liking each others looks) shared goals and ideals are more reliable indicators. If you fall in love to its a bonus.
YES.
Add sexual infatuation drug to it too.

As obnoxious and vulgar as O is, he actually didn't have sex with them at the same time. He actually called in to Afterparty to tell all the details. Mother first and about 2 seeks later, the daughter. Apparently when he picked up the mother at the train, the daughter was with him and they both laughed and told him he had passed "the sex test." He said he taught the daughter what he learned from the mother's sex education. All of that wasted time of the other people on the show - and us. I will start recording and then I can FF through anything to do with him.
Yeah, I am just listening to the Afterparty story. That's definitely much better, still gross, but better.

Yet he managed to have sex with her the same night of her airport antics!
I'm as shocked as anyone to hear me say this, but I was on her side in tonight's fight. Don't have sex, plan a romantic dinner and choose that moment to cool things down. I like Mark and dislike Lindsay, but he was wrong. Did he think she would agree with him, eat dinner, go back to the room and have sex, and then happily lay in bed listening to him fart?
Right -- I was about to say the same thing.
He apparently had sex with her -- wasn't going too fast then -- after having to clean up her messes already.
I did understand her confusion there, as much as she annoys the shit out of me.
I did wonder if both Mark and Steve got the memo from producers to do the "slow down" routine. Although both Linsday and Noi were talking love waaaaaaaay too quick.

I didn't see any aggression from Michael. I didn't see anybody cut anybody off. I'm confused. ("Sorry you felt that way" isn't an apology, but I don't know what anybody is supposed to be apologizing for.)
Alyssa's mom sounds like she knows her daughter.
Guarantee you that Alyssa's mom has had a lifetime with her saying "no" and acting appropriately as a mom until Alyssa pouts, stomps her feet, and cries and then mom says "yes" to whatever she's upset about and coddles her. Her behavior didn't happen in a vaccuum.

For the life of me, I'm wondering what exactly Katina is falling in love with? Were the men in here life so bad, that he stands out? I don't see charm. Or looks. I guess the body is okay. Maybe he's a really intelligent guy but I haven't really heard anything that strikes me one way or the other. I can appreciate the way he handled the LInsday sitch after she poked and prodded him. But that's about it.
I feel like she is in love with his words -- the "God put us here." "I'm going to love you like no one else..'"
But I would not ever be able to trust someone who is proud of banging a mom and daughter at the same time and who is ready for a threesome and bringing that all up day 3.

I was 30 when my father died of cancer, and he was buried the day before my birthday and right before Christmas. I wish I could say that it gets better, but 20+ years later I still don’t love celebrating. Sending your daughter hugs.
Aw, thank you so much. And I'm so sorry about your father and how that has impacted you. It's tough. Life is wonderful but for sure a series of heartaches too!

Being a little pedantic here, but what is the purpose of this phrase? I hear it a lot, but if someone is 14, of course they’re “going on” (whatever that means) or going to be 15. I mean, what else? You can’t be 14 going on 18, or 7 going on 10, unless you’re being sarcastic about precociousness.
As for lionizing Jack because he died young, he also died unexpectedly. That might also be a contributor. When someone dies after an illness, at least there’s time to talk about your life, to touch on mistakes or regrets, and to say goodbye. A sudden death can leave a lot of unanswered questions, and maybe guilt about things left unsaid or not done.
That he died not only right before Christmas (his funeral was a week before Christmas), but right before her birthday (Jan 3). So my daughter will live the rest of her life mourning her father's loss that occurred very close to major days where you are supposed to be surrounded by family. Did my response help you understand your rather pedantic question in response to my daughter's personal tragedy, @shermie?
Understand your point about the unexpected death and things left unsaid. But a death is a death esp when you are in your teens. But it's important not to treat the person who died as if they were the most perfect human being that no one could ever possibly live up to.

Adding on to my last comment, I don't expect total realism from a show. But I feel like the show would've been a lot better if in addition to the good, the children, Rebecca, Miguel all remember the dad who struggled with alcohol, had a jealous streak that nearly ruined his marriage and showed more than just what, one or two episodes? I mean, he kicked alcohol pretty easily. Too easily IMO.
And I would've liked to have seen a real couple in Jack and Rebecca where they had more than just a few episodes of strife. I mean, what the fuck -- is there no anger that he pretty much made all the important shots in life and that she had to go along with? From adding another child after she just lost a baby in childbirth to surprising her with the family home purchase? The romantic gesture shit that has real life consequences? I mean, I realize of course that there would be no big 3 w/o him pressuring Rebecca to adopt Randall (and let's not forget how unrealistic that super quick adoption was), but how about an episode where Rebecca is angry at Jack for coercing her into some major decisions when she was at her most vulnerable?
Maybe it's me but I don't want the love story to end all love stories. I want actual characters and relationships that have some semblance to real life. And characters who can live life w/o doing unrealistic big gestures.
But of course, I'll still watch this show and be disappointed when it's done. :)

I am not surprised that Jack has been somewhat canonized in the eyes of Rebecca and their kids.
Even a semi-decent person who dies relatively young tends to be lauded and the good, rather than their flaws, remembered.
That Jack, while certainly not perfect, was a pretty darn good husband and father just ups the ante in that respect. He died after helping to save the lives of his family, including the dog. His life being cut short at 53 and his kids, though teenagers, not old enough to fully grasp all that he was, foibles and all just adds to his "Saint" status.
Lionizing the dead is hardly a new concept.
My husband died at 52 (cancer) and my daughter was 14 going on 15. It was very tragic for her to lose her dad right before Christmas and right before her birthday.
While she misses him, and it's impacted her life tremendously, both of us have not canonized her dad. He was a great dad, a great husband too.
We don't walk around talking about him like he was Jesus and "What would your dad have done?" We fondly remember the person he was -- the total person who was imperfect in life and imperfect in death.
I recognize that some people do lionize the dead, there are some of us that go through tragic circumstances and remember the complete person -- esp. when the death isn't fresh and you've had time to process it all.

I love Coco! She has such unique features that may not be the typical standard model beauty but to me make her so fascinating. Loved what she brought to the show this week.
I wish Bones had stayed. Chasity's design was horrific. I haven't liked much of what she's put out. It tends to look cheap to me.

St. Jack? How about St. Rebecca?!! She never does anything wrong, never makes mistakes and is perfect in every way. At least Jack has flaws that he acknowledges and makes mistakes from time to time.
Um, she knew that Randall was searching for bio dad but didn't ever mention that she knew who he was and had chased him down when the kids were a baby. She hid that from not only Randall, but also Jack.
Of course, it was forgiven all too quickly.
Then there's Becca being viewed as the bitch mom by her daughter and episodes where it appeared that young Kate was jealous of her own mother for apparently being skinny and pretty.

I feel they could have solved the whole "where's Nicky?" issue by simply adding in a line where Cousin Debbie says, "I called Nicky but he can't make it. Claims he can't get off work, but I doubt that's the reason. You know how he's been ever since Vietnam." or something along those lines. Jack lied to Rebecca and the kids about Nicky being dead because he didn't want him involved in his life but everyone else in the family (Jack's parents, extended family) knew that Nicky was still alive, he's just very different since coming back from war and doesn't interact much with people anymore.
My problem with the whole "Saint Jack" thing is that while we the audience are shown and very aware of his flaws, everyone in present day (Rebecca, the Big Three, Miguel, Nicky) doesn't seem to be. They always speak of Jack like he was this perfect being and it's become annoying. In season one, Jack was presented as this amazing father/husband and everyone was all, "Cool. What an outstanding guy." Then in season two, they started to show his flaws and mistakes and I thought, "Man, what a neat idea for a show. To have a character that at first is shown as the perfect husband and father and then to slowly show over several seasons how he was actually a deeply flawed individual but because of his premature death, his family has held him on that pedestal for so long and now you have them gradually come to the realization that while they loved him deeply, he wasn't the saint they've been making him out to be all these years." But...no. We basically had only the one scene where Kevin tries to bring up that Jack wasn't perfect in rehab therapy and Rebecca, Randall and Kate all shout him down about how Jack was amazing and how dare anyone say otherwise. No real mention by the characters about Jack having any real flaws after that. So yeah, I would like Jack's character a lot more if the other characters weren't still glossing over all his flaws.
RIGHT.
That's absolutely my issue with this show.
I also get annoyed by this magical love story between Jack and Rebecca. Seems like they only had a few blips and were hopelessly in love until the end. I don't need a fairy tale romance; I'd like to see more realism about them as a couple beyond what, an episode where he had a jealous streak b/c she wanted to tour with some band, and then the drinking where he was forced to leave to get help.

S19.E14: Finale
in Project Runway
I also think they should lay out some ground rules of looks they want -- is the whole collection supposed to be marketable to the masses? A mixture of aspiring designs and marketable? It doesn't seem fair to have one designer's looks judged for not being easily reproduced if that's not the ground rule.
Also, I did a rewatch b/c I missed a lot doing chores while it was on. I was surprised how much boobie we got to see w/o them being edited out (at least on my video on demand).
