8/3 - Project Runway 20 Show Discussion

I don't get what's going on with Anna at all.  First, there's the little girl's bedroom circa 1954 lampshade hat (or headpiece or whatever that thing is).  Then there's her whole kimono idea that doesn't seem particularly work-appropriate for a captain who has to be able to move around a lot over the course of his workday.  And she's telling Gary that she's "divorced for two days" but says she's not flirting with him while also downing tequila shots.  It's like she's all over the place.

I also don't think it's particularly fair when some people have to do menswear, which most of them don't do, and some don't.

On the other hand, I am finding the Bishme/Praje teasing back and forth kind of fun.

Anna is an odd one, that's for sure, and I'm glad she's out. Her jammies for the captain were just too silly. He's a good looking guy though (maybe I should start watching that show!).

Bishme's was good and his client was pretty in it, but I loved Brittany's outfit! That was cool, and the fabric seemed appropriate. Glad to see Rami in the top, too. Love him.

Do you watch their show, tilden ? My sister was filling me in on some of these people.

Okay, I'm rewatching tonight's episode because I had too much caffeine, I'm still wide awake, and nothing else was on. Anyway, when Laurent was asked about the leather jacket not seeming appropriate for deck work, she said that the jacket was more about when they're off duty. But that wasn't the challenge--the challenge was about designing a new uniform, whether it was the daily work uniform or the dress uniform. And when she was asked about the very basic, plain jumpsuit, she shrugged her shoulders and said it was a uniform. But why would he wear his uniform when he went off the yacht in his free time, so how would that got with the jacket? When Nina commented that she could have added something to make that jumpsuit more distinctive, she just said she knew that. Period. And Nina shot her a look like, "Well, if you knew that, why didn't you do it?" Look, I can see that Laurent is talented. Her stuff is generally impeccably made. But more than once this season, she's just made what she wants to make, whether it really fit the challenge or not, and she gets by with it because she constructs her garments well. At what point is she, like the other designers, going to be asked how what she made actually fits the challenge?

Obviously, not next week, since they seem to be being told that next week is just "make whatever you want," though I'm guessing there will be some kind of twist to that. I can't believe they'd just let them do whatever they wanted to do with whatever materials they wanted to use, regardless of cost. Otherwise, how is it a challenge? And how in the world do you judge one look against the other? I mean, in that case, if Kara Saun does a costume because that's what she wants to do, could she even be criticized for it, even though a costume would be much different than what any of the rest of them likely would do? And how would they judge a costume against a runway fashion?

Do you mean the Captain or Gary?  When she told Gary she was divorced for the next two days, I thought that would be tough for a spouse to hear.  Anna says she loves her husband and he understands her, so maybe she just has an odd sense of humor.  Or they have an open marriage.  Or at least one that's open to flirting that goes only to a certain level and then stops.  Or she just gets that way after four tequila shots.

Gary is a dog. He deserves everything he gets.

Finally! Anna gets the boot. I can't believe it finally happened. I didn't see Samuri, I saw baseball player. Loved the winning look, really beautiful.

Yeah, and that 'divorced for two days' comment wasn't very nice to her spouse. I felt that the rest of the designers were done with her as well.
