April Bloodgate March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 I really like his designs and liked him on PR and PR:AS, but he's kind of a dick on this. And he's been wearing some ugly stuff lately too. :( 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1597-mondo-guerra/#findComment-5075
Rhondinella March 23, 2014 Author Share March 23, 2014 Co-signed on all of that. I'm most disappointed in him out of everyone. Especially for his treatment of Natalia. That was uncalled for. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1597-mondo-guerra/#findComment-5091
Sarah D. Bunting March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 Tri-signed. The smug self-regard is really coming out here and I'm struggling to keep respecting his opinions as a result (and he does have some good insights). 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1597-mondo-guerra/#findComment-5117
seacliffsal March 27, 2014 Share March 27, 2014 Mondo is displaying the same behaviors as he did during his original season when he participated in the bullying of Michael Costello. This time though, he is in a position of authority as he is a mentor which makes the bullying that much worse. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1597-mondo-guerra/#findComment-6222
fivestone March 31, 2014 Share March 31, 2014 I guess we're fortunate that Mondo hasn't had the level of success that Michael Costello has, or else he'd probably be insufferable. Then again, if he were as successful as Michael he probably wouldn't bother with this show. Same for Anya. I look at Nick differently - he is a fashion instructor and does well at it, so mentoring isn't too far removed from his day job. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1597-mondo-guerra/#findComment-14002
Joystickenvy April 1, 2014 Share April 1, 2014 I didn't see Mondo's original season, but didn't care for him or his designs on all-stars, so I came into this already not liking him and that has only gotten worse after the whole Natalia fiasco. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1597-mondo-guerra/#findComment-15177
cosmic1 April 1, 2014 Share April 1, 2014 Aren't Mondo and Michael still best buds ? Once Mondo apologized to MC and defended him, I thought they were really close. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1597-mondo-guerra/#findComment-15544
terrymct April 1, 2014 Share April 1, 2014 I didn't see Mondo's original season, but didn't care for him or his designs on all-stars, so I came into this already not liking him and that has only gotten worse after the whole Natalia fiasco. He was a lot quieter in his original season, even seeming a little shy at times in comparison to what we're seeing now. I liked him that first year for two reasons: 1. the man can work a pattern. Some of his designs were awesome. and 2. he broke with the Mean Girl torment of Michael. I think my problem with him this season is that we're learning more about him as he talks and his personality goes against what many of us thought (including me). Then we're not seeing any of his design talent at all, which when he was a contestant could deflect from his personality issues.

QuinnM April 15, 2014 Share April 15, 2014 Good grief, what a baby. He needs to put on some big boy pants because if he thinks this is bad wait until he sends a collection down the runway at fashion week. Oh wait, does he even own any big boy pants? 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1597-mondo-guerra/#findComment-36809
Joystickenvy April 16, 2014 Share April 16, 2014 If his prospects for a career in fashion revolved around Project Runway fans having a positive perception of him, I don't think he's pondering giving up much. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1597-mondo-guerra/#findComment-37556
Bella April 16, 2014 Share April 16, 2014 This points to one of the ironies of shows like this, Top Chef, etc. - there are those who move on and have good careers and/or sink or swim on their own merits, and we rarely if ever hear of them again. Then there are the ones who can't step away from the show. Maybe PR was Mondo's first validation as a designer and he clings to that. But PR should be a step in a process that he's taking, and he seems to be stuck there instead. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1597-mondo-guerra/#findComment-37621

But PR should be a step in a process that he's taking, and he seems to be stuck there instead. I think this is a great analysis of the situation. I think the difference between Nick and Mondo and Anya is related to this very thing. Nick has had success with his label, he's a fashion commentator, and he's a respected instructor at FIDM. So it's reasonable to have someone like him on the show. I didn't get the sense that he was fame-whoring or anything like that, but rather engaging in an experience that would be comparable to a high school alum coming back to tutor students in his free time. Sure, he'd want to help the students, but it's not something that would make or break his already established and diverse career. Meanwhile, as far as making waves in the fashion world...what, exactly, have Anya and Mondo been doing lately? In order to come off halfway relevant in the fashion world they need shows like this. Gotta say, they need Project Runway a whole lot more than PR needs them. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1597-mondo-guerra/#findComment-37939
