posted a day late, on a site where no one I know watches the show
-How am I gonna get through this season without John Teti’s genius AV Club recaps? :( :( :(
-I’m kind of glad for the shake-up in judges. Heidi/Nina/The Braying Tangerine clearly don’t care anymore and take too much delight in mean-girling some of the weaker designers. Tim Gunn will be sorely missed, but it will be a delight to watch Joanna Coles struggle to suppress her innate bitchiness and croak out vague, half-hearted remarks of semi-approval.
-Is April really a past competitor or is she a ringer? I honestly have no recollection of her.
-Anthony is the least-competent contestant to ever progress past the first three episodes. But he sure is sassy! (ditto Elisa, but replace “sassy” with ‘”kooky’ and kind of gross”)
-I get that Austin Scarlett’s going for Dashing ’30s Movie Star with the moustache, but it makes him look like a subway poster that’s been defaced.
-Sweet P is such a dear, which makes it all the more painful to watch her compete in an arena where she’s so clearly out of her depth. (Also, I always confuse her with Peach. Sweet Peach?)
-Why remind us of the dread LA season if you’re only going to bring back Gordana? Wouldn’t it make more sense to pretend Season 6 never existed?
-If Kenley lasts much longer, I’m going to have to start watching the show on mute.
-I kinda want to start a betting pool on a) when Michael Costello will have his first crying jag and b) how many times he’ll cry over the course of the season. (If this sounds mean, you didn’t watch Season 8.) I’d have added c) how long it takes for him to make a creepy comment about his model then try to deflect it by reminding everyone he’s gay, but he already did that in the first 15 minutes.
-The guest judge looked like all of the members of Spandau Ballet at the same time. He was also far more interesting than Georgina Chapman.
-Basically, the only “All Stars” who are talented are Mondo, Austin Scarlett and Rami. (Well, I guess some people like Mila.) At least in a regular season there’s always the hope that one of the blandos will step it up halfway through the competition.
-I quit ANTM: All-Stars midway through the Latoya Jackson episode. That season was so terrible I may never go back. I’m worried the same will happen with Project Runway. Then again, I genuinely enjoy PR; I only watch ANTM as atonement for some unknown existential sins.
-I will forgive all of the show’s flaws if Mondo wins. Even better if his win retroactively revokes Gretchen’s.
