1/27 - Project Runway 19 Show Discussion

I dont get Kristina.

Did you notice that while there was no loser who went home, there was also no winner. I think each look was flawed and each could have gone home if the other three were perfect.

I knew as soon as they let Chastity tell that long story about her difficulties during 2020 that nobody was going home. Up until then, it was pretty clear that they were least impressed with her dress as being at all fashion forward, and it did not look particularly original to me either. I thought Kristina's looked too much like what she'd done before, but at least she translated the style into different materials and as separates, so the individual pieces had other options. As one of the judges pointed out, she created a lot of separates in the time she had and separates are marketable.

If they couldn't decide who to send home based on the last look, then perhaps they could have taken into consideration either the entire output for each over the course of the season or from whom they were most interested in seeing an entire line, based on their final looks/output over the season. Either that or make it clear that it's a possibility that someone or no one will be eliminated. I just don't like that they told them and the audience that someone would be going home and then no one did. Or maybe I just feel that way because after the entire season, I get what the other three have in terms of a personal style, but I still don't get what Chastity's style is other than that she makes a lot of gowns. When they showed her whole output for the season last night, I really didn't see a defined style, but I did with the other three, whether I was crazy about their styles or not. I'm not saying Chastity isn't talented but other talented designers have gone home already, and I'm not sure why what she's produced says a line of hers at fashion week would be any more interesting than theirs might have been.

What a surprising end of runway and deliberation in front of the designers. I love seeing all that exuberance. Also Karli calling out the models' names - that was fun.

Can't wait for the Christian visits next week.

In the past, there have been multiple times where they've had them show a sample of their collections and then decided, based on that, which designers would get to show their collections at Fashion Week.

It's always presented as a surprise twist, but any designer who doesn't expect it at this point hasn't been paying attention. I'm guessing they'll do the same this time.

Yes.  I would expect it.  But the home visits and finale are in the same show this coming week....not enough time for drama.

I paused the preview for next week, right when they have all 4 designers standing next to the "best" look they did (according to the judges), and I was surprised. Shantall's model was wearing a big coat (?) with swerves of different colors going down the front. She herself wore a monochrome swerved dress and I could barely tell it was her! It looked matronly.

Kristina's looked like her. The other two I couldn't really tell much of, but nothing looked amazing. We'll see though!

I loved Coral's dress this time: every little thing about it. Her macrame was great, the trim was great, the skirt was gorgeous, etc. etc.!

Chasity should've been gone long ago, but I think they like her, and maybe her perspective? So, she's still there, despite some really bad styling and design choices, very 80s-ish. Those shoulders were one thing, but the crinkly fabric sleeves and skirt weren't great, and the sparkly trim ruined it (again). Christian even told her to scale back on it, so maybe that was less than she would've put on? yikes

Shantall's complicated suit was okay. Yes, glad it wasn't navy, and I'm glad it was on that particular model since there were nip slips galore. I thought it was busy and not necessarily "sky high fashion." She's made much nicer things.

I didn't like Kristina's fabrics (picnic checks! lol), and all the tying one would have to do to get it on. The shoes she chose weren't all that cute to me, either. But, I guess at least it was something different, so that's why they kept her.

I can't wait to see how they use their 5 months.

Hey guys, is there a legal way to watch this online? I don't have Sling anymore and would like to watch.

Thanks, tilden!

Ugh. See, there's a problem, we got rid of our main streaming (Sling) so now I'm not sure if I can watch at all. I'll try it under my internet service provider; maybe it will go through with that.

Is it on the free Peacock channel or the paid?

It started out free...I'll have to check if they are now pulling a fee from my credit card.

I looked it up.

Although there has been an all-women 3 contestant finale (season 6), this is the first time ever that there has been an all-women final 4.

Will one contestant (my guess Chastity, who IMHO, should have been eliminated this last episode) be eliminated and the season ends with a final 3 NYFW runway show? I'll guess we'll see.

I bought SD version of the season from Amazon. Maybe it was $15. I think they release the new episodes on Friday.

It has been nice to watch the current season. I do not have cable.
