8/10 - Project Runway 20 Show Discussion

I agree with you on the setting. I was like - you can’t see the detail, you can barely see anything really, what is the point of this?

I disagree with the judges on Bishme - his model look like she was wearing pantyhose while dragging bunched up satin bed skirts around her ankles. The top part was nice. I also disagreed with their judgment on Prajje’s - his I liked. The other judgments I largely agreed with. I liked Rami’s but not really the silver fabric. Kara Saun’s was just a mess and rightly led to her going home.

I felt bad for the models, having to strut in the pouring rain. Of course, Mimi made the most of it! LOL

I was worried about Rami a bit, because even though it was pretty, I was not sure it was enough. It seemed kinda safe, and the one fabric was gorgeous while the other was just okay.

Bishme's was cool, especially the upper parts. I even liked Laurance's look, though I wasn't sure I would when she said a panty on the outside!

Prajje's skirt was interesting, and looked good outside. The top was pretty bad, though. I liked that it didn't look the same as his previous things, and the green didn't bother me.

KaraSaun went all in on her look, even when Christian questioned her at Mood and in the workroom, over and over. She was sticking to her guns, so for that I give her credit, but not so much for the overall look.

Korto's attitude was especially bad this time. It looks like next episode, it continues to be bad. She definitely has a point though, when judges say one thing but then judge according to another set of values. This time, she says they tell you to "be yourself" but then during judging ask you to be something else. I just wish they'd show more of Korto not being so crabby.

I thought for sure someone would say Brittany's look was very similar to Prajje's school outfit, and I wish they would've asked her about it. It was SO similar. At first, I thought he was being fussy, but the more she did, the more it looked like his! Surely he didn't create the criss-cross top, but that was almost exactly like Prajje's with the color and cut!

The runway outside in the park was a major fail - at least for the way it translated to us watching. Maybe in person it was better? But I have to think they didn’t really plan on having it in the dark did they??

Ugh! That was so frustrating; you couldn't see a thing. I think they had sunglasses because of the bright stage lights that were aimed at them. Looked totally miserable. Mimi, once again just slayed. I guess they couldn't get a permit to film during the day? I don't know how they thought this would be a good idea.

I kinda loved them all. Even Kara's. Loved Korto's and thought that they would ding Rami's for not pushing it, but happy they liked it. I am not a fan of athleisure so I can appreciate Brittany's looks, but man, I don't really like them.

I don’t see Laurence in the finals. I think she’s still too “above it” in her attitude and that will get her ousted. And also her (overuse?) of leather is limiting.

I think Bishme is probably a lock. I can see Prajje getting through. I don’t think Korto will be a finalist.

The other two are a toss-up. I think Brittany may be a dark horse and Rami might get dinged for being too classical. I’d prefer Rami myself.

A fashion show outside at night sounds great in theory but with the rain and wind turned out to be not a great idea. It also wasn't cool how the judges were covered while the contestants were out in the elements. Love Kara Saun, but she was doing a little bit too much with her outfit, and Christian even warned her to dial it back a notch. I have to admit, she was gracious to the very end.

I also cried when Laurent told her story; it explains to much about her personality and why she's so succinct in manner. I love my leather queen and envy her ability to cut a skirt that is formfitting, yet walkable, and that top was awesome. At first I thought Prajjie was overstating how much Brittany's look was like something he did in a previous challenge, but the more she did the more I saw the resemblance. I chalked it up as one of the more unpleasant aspects of so many creative people working in close quarters; no one means to copy, but you kinda rub off on each other? I'm not sure of how to describe it. Either way, it was very well made. The dark setting did Korto's outfit no favors; while I kinda liked it, a lot of the details were lost. I don't mind Grouchy Korto because 9 times out of ten she's saying what we're all thinking; the judges do tend to be inconsistent and I can imagine it's frustrating. They'll ding a designer for making similar looks one week, while giving another designer a pass for the same thing (there's a really good reason why The Drape King is staying far away from draped looks). On the other hand, Prajjie's outfit had the opposite effect as the rain seemed to make his outfit shimmer. Rami made a deceptively simple looking dress that was quite elegant, I liked it. And Bishme's look was super cute.

I was quite okay with the top and bottom three, and glad Bishme got top honors. I have no idea who is going to be the final 3 because everyone left is really, really incredibly good; it's literally anyone's game. At this point, one misstep can send you home; I remember how close Bishme was to going home in the first episode, and look how well he's doing now. And Victor was sent home the week after he won.
