VIKTOR for the win…

Eclectic Mayhem

Ah, London, how I’ve missed you. I’ll have a double Stoli Vanil & Diet Coke please.

Tonight I’ll be mostly watching the show in disbelief.

Viktor should win. But even if he does, I fear that PR is broken anyway.

http://www.facebook.com/samuel.j.donovan Samuel Joesph Donovan

True :/ I missed the days when they decided this thing based on talent.

Oh, I’ve never tried Vanilla Stoli with Diet Coke.
I will think of you and your beautiful shoe as I try one tonight.

Viktor or the Highway, PR!
- Eclectic Mayhem
  
  I’ve received weird looks when ordering it in the US – apparently it’s unusual of me to mix a clear spirit with a ‘dark’ soda…? I don’t care – it tastes great! Raspberry Stoli and Diet Coke is also very enjoyable.
  
  It is a lovely shoe isn’t it, unfortunately I do not have the financial wherewithall to actually own a pair of Louboutins but I can dream!

    I’m surprised people give you strange looks; in my neck of the woods, Stoli Vanilla and Diet Coke is almost a staple drink.
    - Eclectic Mayhem
      
      It was mostly in New Orleans seven or eight years ago so maybe I was just way ahead of the curve…?! In London nobody would bat an eyelid at that order but bar staff were definitely perplexed in NoLA.
      
      I haven’t been doing much drinking since then as I’ve spent the best part of the last six years pregnant or nursing or both!

      Well, NOLA is a whole ‘nother cocktail realm. Probably not a lot of orders for imported Russian vodka in NOLA when you could be drinking rum.

      Never heard of such a thing (I’m in Boston). For some reason I feel the need to figure out where this is and is not done. Like, around here a whiskey diet is totally normal and if anything kind of lowbrow, but apparently it’s a snooty white hipster drink in Atlanta? I’m oddly fascinated by regional drinking variations, is what I’m trying to say.

So, wait…is Stoli and Diet not a thing? Because I’m from the heartland of America and that’s what we’ve always drunk. Maybe I’m more cosmopolitan than I thought!

The bar in my college town used to mix Stoli Vanil with soda and grenadine. They called it a Drew Barrymore, b/c it’s an alcoholic Shirley Temple. Perfect with a burger!

If there’s any justice on reality TV, Viktor should win. But justice and reality TV is almost oxymoronic. Not holding my breath.

Anonymous

“Tlo said: Who should win Season 9 of Project Runway?”

None of the above.

But if they have to pick one from this group, it SHOULD be Viktor…which means it won’t be. I’m thinking that Tlo should use plastic glasses and hide the cutlery in the TLounge, and fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a bumpy, yet boring, night.

I can sleep in tomorrow (day off!) so I really CAN DRINK while I get all squinty-eyed and cranky watching the annoyances that will be parading across the screen with formulaic regularity.

How many rivers of tears will we see flow on-screen tonight – too many, and only a few will be sincere.

I will be honestly surprised if I wake up tomorrow and read that someone other than Anya won.

Anonymous

It’s no question that Viktor should win. I wouldn’t be mad if Kimberly won because she’s so damn likable and I didn’t hate her final collection, there were some interesting pieces. Or I just keep telling myself that because I want to like her so much.
If Josh wins. I just can’t. If Anya wins, I won’t be surprised or happy.No matter the outcome, I think getting through this season earns us all more than few drinks. Without Tom and Lorenzo, I might have quit this show this season. I used to so look forward to Thursdays and now I just can’t muster up any excitement. But I still look forward to reading recaps on Friday morning. So thanks to TLo for providing me with the entertainment that the show no longer does. Can they win this season?

Anonymous

This is one of the only times all season that I’ll be able to watch the show in real time, rather than later. It’s been a busy autumn for me… Viktor of course should be the winner. But I fully expect Anya to take the win. And I’m finding that I just really don’t care.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=8402388 Mike Benedetto

Viktor will still probably win. Out of eight winners, the only outright botch has been Gretchen and I think they’re smart enough not to do that two years running. (One would have thought they were smart enough not to do it even once, of course.)

They do like Anya enough to take her to the top two, though. I’m thinking Josh at #4, Kimberly at #3.

Oh I don’t know I’d have put the tattooed neck jerk on the list, probably higher than Gretchen – for bitchiness, though not for design

Viktor should win, but he most likely won’t, since this show has become a total joke. While last year I screamed at the TV and swore I was done with the show, this season proved that I should have stuck to my guns and quit watching. It’s been underwhelming, boring and the judging was atrocious. So I guess I will only watch tonight to know all the gory details for reading you guys tomorrow.

Viktor should win, I’d be ok if Kimberly won. Will be highly irritated but not suprised if Anya wins. Will weep for the judges souls if Josh wins.

Did Josh design this bar? Is that a sign, an omen? Oh God, no, please, not that. I’m tempted to come back to the T Lounge and see who wins from you East Coasters and then decide if I’m going to watch. If Viktor doesn’t win, I probably won’t. Finally! Being a Left Coaster comes in handy.

I’m not excited by any of these finalists. It’s overall a rather dreary, uninspired bunch IMO. But out of this crew I’d say Viktor’s the most deserving. This blog is FAR more entertaining than the show. So I’ll have a Grey Goose & tonic with a twist of lime, please, and toast TLo for being the saving grace of PR.

I’m going to say that Josh is going to win.

I was actually just thinking that. They’ve got us all wrapped up in the “Viktor is the best/death to Anya” discussion that they might just eff with us one more time and give it to Josh.

But we also know that this episode is going to be filled with the usual Bunim/Murray dramarama, so I must remember to put on my steel-mesh hairnet so that I will have less clean-up after my head explodes. Last week, I had to spend FAR too much time tidying up the flat after everybody got a ponyy, and I exploded!

Surprise twist!

The judges, struck with remorse that Laura’s decoy collection is not in the final four (since it outshines at LEAST three of ‘em), look slightly disoriented throughout and are ignored by L’Wren Scott. Scott decrees by fiat that Victor, Bert, and Laura split the prize, that Kimberley is Fan Favorite, and the remaining designers may auction off the contents of the Piperlime accessories wall and the crappy hair salon products on eBay and split any revenues. And that the bar is open.

Your outcome is likely TEN TIMES better than what actually is going to happen!

I have a theory* about this season, but I don’t think anyone is going to like it. The thing is, I happened across a little poll thing Piperlime was doing on their Facebook page about who people thought should win PR, and while Viktor was making a strong showing, Anya (or, as at least one person called her, “Annie”) was walking away with it. And as much as I want to believe they were all producer-bots, my suspicion is they were not, and BM have known exactly what they are doing all along. Because there seems to be a vast audience out there who don’t care at all about skill or creative talent, they just want to follow the pretty girl with the nice storyline, who must be good because all the judges say so. We don’t see them around here because, well, my sense is they’re probably thinking that nice mormon boy will be so happy when he finally meets the right girl.

God, I sound cranky. I’m not even planning on watching the show tonight, but I may have a drink anyway.

I believe you speak the truth. Heck, even the recapper at Television Without Pity is completely up Anya’s butt. TWoP is supposed to be the land of straight-talking, no bullshit snark, and he’s all “oh Anya’s stuff is so nice! People should stop being MEAN to her!”

My variant on this theory is that as long as there IS a vast audience, BM see nothing wrong with making this a show about pretty people creating drama. If they can pander to the audience, they will, but really it doesn’t matter if the audience is happy or infuriated as long as the numbers are tuning in.

Oh, gosh, Daisy James. That’s depressing. If “Annie” wins, I think I’ll be sick. And never watch PR again. Of course, I’ll stay loyal to TLo, but I couldn’t bear to watch such a sham of a show. Anyway, I’ll have a very strong gin and tonic and enjoy the fine company.

If Josh, Anya or Kimberly win over Viktor, it will be ludicrous. But then again, the show has been pretty ludicrous all year, so I wouldn’t put anything past the BMs.

Leslie Carver

Should? Viktor. Will, probably Anya, which will piss me off royally.

Maria Rosenfire

Viktor should obviously win (though I’d be alright with Kimberly), but I have my doubts about that happening, despite the fact that Anya can’t sew and Josh is as tacky as a bedazzled parrot in a glitter factory.

Well I am going to say ahead of time. Stick a fork in PR it’s done, regardless of the outcome. It has for me become largely stale and uninteresting and just another reality show drama. Having said that, I will be having my glass of whine and catterwalling along with the rest in the TLounge.

Who sould win? Some designer who wasn’t chosen for this season.

But I’m going to enjoy myself tonight, in spite of everything. Because I spent the afternoon with a friend who was having her first chemo treatment for breast cancer. And there’s nothing like spending 4 1/2 hours in a hospital while your friend is getting very toxic substances pumped into her in an attempt to cure a very nasty disease to shake up your head and remind you what’s important in this life.

Since this will be my last PR viewing, I plan to suck down as much champagne with Stoli Peach as is possible without becoming disgusting.

Personally, I find it quite amusing that, once T Lo speaks up on Laura’s collection, everyone starts drinking the Laura Kool-Aid. That could be just me, though.

I have bona fides! I have bona fides!

If you go back to the comments on the posts about the decoy collections (yeah, I know, if you have no life at all) I commented very favorably (& was quite surprised) about Laura’s.

So it may be Kool-Aid, but I’ve been drinking it since it was a brand new vintage!

You obviously haven’t been reading carefully enough – several members of the commentariat identified Laura as either a possible winner or the Kara Janx of this season. Doesn’t mean to say we liked her or anything…

Gah, where are the Tums?

I’m on a sick day with a bad, locked-up back, so I’ll actually be home to watch live. I don’t generally drink, but I do have a bit of alcohol left from a recent get-together…I think I’ll have some to take the edge off when this horror show begins. Hopefully it will keep me from screaming at the television and upsetting my dogs.

Viktor, FTW. He and Josh were two of my picture-and-a-paragraph picks from the beginning, and I think Viktor is definitely the best of these designers.

I’m restating…if Anya wins, I will not be watching this waste of my time next season. T Lo recaps will be plenty for me.

So, who will be watching Project Accessory? I think/hope it will be fun.

I saw that, too. I am sorry that they think Anya is good, because like you, I definitely thought they had better sense. Although, as fun as they are, half the time they don’t even know who designed what they’re fugging, so professional fashion industry commentary is not really their game.

I forgot to mention…I love the Lounge this week! Looks really fun, with a Giant-Dahlia-ish floor, to boot.

RuthAlice Anderson

Such uniformity. Perhaps folks who like Anya go elsewhere?

I am fine with Victor winning. I like his clothing and certainly he sews better than anyone else, so he wins the sewing competition without a doubt I think his clothing can be a bit dull – with the exception of his magnificent jackets. That white jacket from his final collection might just be enough to overcome some of the more boring pieces. I also love that he made his own fabric, but hate hate hate hate times ten thousand times hate those pants he made. Bringing the fabric together to make a big purple pubic patch makes me cringe. See, my problem with Victor is that his clothing is so focused on commercial appeal that it’s not that interesting except for the jackets and the few times he goes bold. But when he goes bold, he totally loses all sense of taste. Maybe that’s why his clothing is so quiet – he recognizes that he can’t do bold well. If so, props to him for recognizing his weaknesses.

Josh is another one with excellent sewing skills and wildly whacked out taste. I don’t like his clothing colors or silhouettes nor his personality. He’s just a bully.

My faves in design are Kimberly and Anya and I freely admit neither of them sew as well as Josh and Victor. I don’t care. This is not the hunt for the next American sample-maker. There’s plenty of designers with weak sewing skills in the real world. If they can hold it together to make it down the runway and back so it can be seen, that’s enough.

I think Anya is the most level-headed and mature contestant we have ever seen. I know it’s popular to hate her here, but it’s rather typical, isn’t it? Hating the pretty girl – so high school. Kimberly is a sweetheart and I hope she doesn’t become her own worst enemy and crack under pressure. She does sometimes and that’s too bad, because Kimberly when she’s on is great. It’s unfortunate that Nina and Heidi don’t seem to “get” Kimberly. Perhaps in the 6 week hiatus, they might take a moment to read up on some ethnic fashion tastes and trends so they don’t sound so ignorant when discussing big bottomed skirts.

Looking at the pictures from Fashion Week, it looked like Victor and Anya listened to the judges comments and Josh and Kimberly didn’t. I saw those blue accessories in the pics, darn it. If so, then if past is prologue, Victor and Anya will be top 2, by virtue of listening to feedback. It looks like Victor may have made black pants and a top for that jacket – if so, that may win it for him right there. If so – not a bad choice. Probably not my choice, but not a bad choice.

http://www.facebook.com/sorryfortheincovenience Heather Pickett

people hate the pretty girl not because she’s pretty, but because that’s ALL she is. she is utterly without talent and it was questionable (at best) to include her as a contestant knowing that her portfolio had been sewn by someone else. moreover, every challenge seemed to be (pardon the pun) tailor-made to offer her a handicap, where other designers were judged, it seemed, more critically in terms of execution. i have no qualms with beauty, but a shallow beauty with nothing to back it up (in the context of this contest) is, for lack of a better word, infuriating.
- Anonymous
  
  Yup. Pretty is as pretty does.
Deborah Bonner

I don’t hate her at all and certainly not because she is pretty, (though I don’t think she is all that pretty anyway). I am annoyed because her limited talents do not merit her inclusion and her progression in this show. For her to be doing so well is an insult to designers who have much better construction and design skills. To be frank, I think Anya should have stayed home for another year or two and learnt the craft before even applying for Project Runway.
Eclectic Mayhem

TeamAnya has certainly made its presence felt here Chez TLo, not sure where they all are tonight.

I can only speak for myself. I don’t hate Anya because she’s pretty. I don’t hate her at all. Where you see ‘level-headed’, however, I see calculating and manipulative. I dislike calculating and manipulative people. I dislike seeing what was once the best show on TV crumble before my eyes as a ‘designer’, who simply does not have the chops to be in the competition at all, is given pass after pass after pass.

But we can agree to differ – here – let me buy you a drink.

Josh will win because he’s a bitchy queen who turned somewhat likable.
Kimberly will win because she’s easy to like and a woman of color.
Viktor will win because he’s a very good designer with some potential.
But….Anya will really win because Heidi always wanted to be a beauty queen and gets to live out her fantasy via Anya. Expect a crown and two dozen roses by the end of the show.

It’s like a roller coaster ride, this season. Except when the ride ends and you get out, you realize that it wasn’t fun at all and you puked onto your favorite shirt that you’ve loved and cherished since high school, even though it got a little ruined at the beach a few years ago, and the girl last year kind of pre-ruined it, anyway. But you wanted to wear it one more time, but now it’s just gross and smells bad.

If it hasn’t been posted yet on this thread, and if everyone’s drinking and no one is minding the store , Bert’s sister posted at 7:38 in Anyaology and then responded to another poster within the last hour. Interesting. Made my shitty day better just to know she has the gumption to post and say as much as she did. If it occurs to anyone that she is a fake, then she faked before, early in the season, because I remember her posting back then. I believe she’s for real.

God yes, I need my usual gin and tonic but bartender please believe me when I say I want a large wedge of lime and not a paper thin slice.

  It looked for it. She posted as Diamonddeb and introduced herself as Bert’s sister. She makes a pretty strong accusation about Anya cheating by having not sewn anything she presented ss her initial work for the tryout. Not sure why she would choose to say it tonight, unless she knows something about the outcome, which I assume she does. Hmmm.

Does she post as “Sister of Bert”? How did you know it was her?

  She said “I am Bert’s sister” and has posted a few times beforehand. She is “diamondeb.”
  
  Her accusations are that Anya did not sew any of her pieces in the casting session and that she has had a PR agency help her with Fan Favorite.
  
  It would also mean that Bert thinks Anya cheated as well.

Anya’s designing for the woman who wants a wardrobe malfunction.

That first model was workin’ it. Made that dress look fabulous. The rest is typical Anya. Easy, caribbean feel. Poorly fitted/no sleeves.

‘Easy, caribbean feel. Poorly fitted/no sleeves.’
hilarious, I keep picturing a magazine advert with Anya’s designs and those words.

Anonymous

You know, I think she did a surprisingly good job…
The big criticism is that her looks are too similar and show little range. But she is who she is. She had some gorgeous prints.

Very flowy-drapey, but also very pretty and wearable.

Deborah Bonner

I agree. Nice but no range and no uniqueness. You can find her collection already in any resort wear shop in the tropics.

So sad….so repetitive.

Twelve flowy looks with plunging necklines and not a sleeve to be found.

Or an actual collar. I don’t count big bent tufts of uncut fabric as collar.

Anonymous

Zero sleeves. Nothing fitted. Did Anya even hem the gowns?

Anonymous

The benefit of basting them together hours before the show means that they nothing has time to ravel. No need to him, finish, etc. etc. If necessary, I guess she could have used pinking shears and then tell them that’s what is referred to as a Caribbean hem in the resort-wear industry.
Deborah Bonner

She didn’t need to. Who would notice with those huge flowy skirts? Probably didn’t have time to as we saw her cutting out skirts 1 hour before show.

Sorry, but she’s a third-rate Uli at best.

I liked the slight color tweaking Kimberly gave to the collection. The shoes are hiddy, tho. And with the exception of the green shorts, I don’t despise Josh’s. It moved better than I thought.

I’m not watching the ep but I looked over the posts of the final collections and there was a whole lotta sleeveless, baggy fug going down that runway from Anya.

I hadn’t noticed the S&M details in Viktors work in the stills, but when they walked there was a palpable gritty sexuality to some of the looks. I absolutely hate his prints, but his finishing is impeccable and each look was a wow.

It’s all so unreal–a bizarro world version of a runway show in which “taste” has no value and “blindness” is a character trait to applaud.

The judges don’t likely care that they have lost what credibility they might have once had. I care that true art has been jettisoned in favor of–well–in favor of what, exactly? Who wins in this scenario? Neither the viewer, nor the network, nor the pitiful individuals that brought us this fiasco. We have, I fear, lost Project Runway to the pop culture abyss.

Anonymous

Until the viewership declines – and I believe it’s been rising – both the network & the producers win. It’s about ratings & earning potential, not quality programming.

Obviously.

she’s gonna be in showbiz somewhere, maybe start out w/ a fashion design oriented show on lifetime. maybe she’ll be an anchorperson, or whatever. something like that. it’s what i said all along, for months. you dont need an xray machine to see right through this one.
i dont get why the entire production team fell in w/ her designs–but there’s something we arent seeing. it’s beyond just this little show.

  YES.
  
  She will use this stepping stone more effectively than anyone has but Christian Siriano (at least to an outsider’s view – I suspect Chloe, for example, is very satisfied with the boost the money gave her business), but not I think for a serious fashion design career. And the PR conglomerate of affiliated business enterprises will get good value for their money.
  
  And it’s not her fault that the show put an apparently golden public relations personality over the work done in the contest. She couldn’t have prevented the process except by quitting the show, and why would she want to do that?
  
  I wish her well.
  
  The show is fucked, however. Won’t say I’ll never watch again, but this after Gretchen is pretty conclusive. It’s not gonna be as fun because the fashion design element is not just manipulated, it’s been rendered irrelevant.

She won’t have a career as a designer. She knows it — and the network knows it too. That’s why they kept talking about an Anya “brand.” Her designs are mediocre, but they’re hoping to be able to get her to put her name on some overpriced shoes or handbags or maxipads or something, and people will flock to the stores to wear her name. Not THIS bitter kitten.

I will probably watch Accessory and All Stars. I mostly likely not watch another season of Project Runway. The show I love has become a joke.

Also, the printed look that was on the runway with her with the judges crit? Any other season, even last season, would have been called a sack. I bet Uli is pissed along with Mondo. I don’t worry for Viktor – he’s going to find work – but I worry for Josh. I do hope people call him.

Considering that the head editor of Marie Claire loved Josh…I wonder how much flak Nina caught for her decision. Oh well.

I don’t care anymore. I’m not even mad, I just don’t care. This is becoming boring to me.

This time, however, the title is being awarded to someone who clearly does not deserve it and who has been obviously favored all season in spite of being barely competent. It’s a different sort of outrage and so I would expect that it was a milestone disgust for many. It has been for me. There are a lot of other things I can be watching on television. Project Runway can go fuck itself.

Heidi?? Is this you?? Sorry, I barely watched this season after last year’s debacle, no way am I watching again. It is just too annoying to see judges whore themselves out to Lifetime.
- Anonymous
  
  LOL, not Heidi here. But I’m just saying overall there seems to have been a lot of “I said I was going to stop last season but………” and that seems to be pretty common with reality shows when they disappoint in general but for the most part people still come back anyway. I guess it’ll depend on if ratings get worse next season since they were really high this year.

I stopped watching almost halfway through this season in disgust because of the conspicuous Anya favoritism and will definitely not be watching next year. Believe it or not, it’s pretty easy just to come for TLO’s recaps. I prefer the snark over the nauseating producer manipulation. I refuse to be suckered into another Lifetime “little engine that could” spokesperson project.

I used to watch every episode, more than once if I caught them on reruns. After Gretchen’s win last year I watched maybe half of the content this year. Watched the challenge set-up fast forwarded to Tim’s workroom visit fast forwarded to the runway show and watched the judging until I got a headache rolling my eyes. Caught the rest with TLO.

  Janet,
  
  I watch NBC programs on Thursdays, so this season, I started watching PR at 9:30 after “The office.” You know what? It helped me enjoy the program MORE missing the first 30 minutes. I probably would have found it even more delightful if I FF through contestant drama, saw the runway and FF through judges discussion. Perhaps I’ll try that next year. Pretty much everything the judges say to the contestants is all I need to hear to know who are favorites and who are hated.

I gave up watching the show weeks ago. I thought to peek back to see if anyone involved has a shred of class or credibility left, but it is not so. Not even Tim Gunn. Lifetime TV and Bunim/Murray cat rot in television hell.

Lifetime has ruined this show. I’m assuming it’s just another lifetime movie set up as a reality show. it certainly isn’t about talent and design anymore.

Pardon my French but what a fucking joke.

I have to say that Josh’s clothes actually looked much better walking the runway than they did in the photos. I would wear that lime green skirt. Really, any choice other than Anya would have made sense for the win. You played it to perfection, Beauty Queen. Couldn’t get Miss Universe but she was right there with pageant face for her win,

What kind of cross-dressing brother did she have to inspire that collection? MANIPULATION.

I really thought the absolute lack of range was going to force the judges to pick anyone but Anya. This is an absurd ruling. I can’t believe Gretchen is no longer my least favorite PR winner.

Half way through the season this show went off my DVR, now I am only reading TLo recaps. (I am not holding TLo to recapping future seasons, because let’s face it, this show has jumped not just the shark, but the whole Pacific Ocean)

It’s T&Lo’s website, so they can of course do what they want to with it. I, however, will gratefully read their PR recaps as long as they can stomach watching/writing them. Or even just snark, bitching, and mockery if they don’t want to actually take the time to write real recaps anymore!

You know I’m tempted to send my new therapy bills to Bunim/Murray — I was already depressed, and this may land me in a sanitarium…

And while I’ve talked about going on this show, I said if I made it to the finals, I was going to do something the show and the judges would hate because it would make a point, but my husband would be really pissed if I lost on purpose… but this season proves that nothing I could do or not do would matter anyway, so I might be able to get him behind my plan:)

http://twitter.com/RobertSanchez36 Robert Sanchez

I was getting a headache and bruised irises from all the eye-rolling I was having to do while they were critiquing the finale collections. Not one person called out Josh on his tacky collection? And Anya won with a collection of basically the same dress over and over again? I did see the problems with Viktor’s collection, but overall, there were so many individual pieces that were eye-catching and well tailored.

I know a lot of people say they’re done with the show at the end of every season, but I think this really is the last one for me. I changed the channel too so I wouldn’t have to see the new accessory show, nor the “After the Runway” after that. I’ll look forward to the posts here, though.

I’ve developed such a little crush on Viktor these last few weeks, I was sure he’d gotten the winners edit this episode and was gonna come out on top. Yes, he shot himself in the foot a little bit with the 500 dollars at mood, but the printed looks ALONE were better than anything that Joshua or Kimberley produced.

I love how they act like they’re going to shove this “Anya” brand of whatever other crap down our throats. Even she was talking about her “brand” — gag me with a pitchfork. Lifetime can shove it. I’m in their demographic and there is NO way I would wear anything with her name on it, after this ridiculous debacle. I hope this whole “pick a contestant we can build a brand around” completely backfires and she spirals into obscurity, quickly.

How the f is picking a pretty print and sticking a grommet and some chains in it, a “unique point of view” ?

Not that there weren’t other signs but once they had 500 to go to Mood you know they wanted to be able to justify giving her the win so they had to give her a chance to make something new. Chances are they sent someone in there after hours fix her stuff lol. Just kidding, sort of

I’m not even surprised that she won but I am appalled to read that Josh came out ahead of Viktor. I hope Anya has a thick skin and can muster up some kind of skill because after this obviously biased-in-her-favor experience on PR, she’s going to need a lot of it. The fashion world will eat her alive and spit her back out again. Personally, I doubt she’ll be able to do it. I just don’t see any real skill or talent there. Just a bit of personality and the ability to style herself. BFD – many others can do equally as much.

I honestly did not think that Viktor’s looked as great on the runway as Kimberly’s and I do think the criticism of his sheer pieces was deserved. I have no problem with them not giving it to Viktor, but I have a big problem with it going to Anya. To be fair, I didn’t think hers was terrible, but it was absolutely a one note collection of maxi’s and plunging necklines. Josh’s was not something I really liked but it looked like most of the pieces were made well. Well, no kitten rage here. Just Meh. That’s all.

Well that was pretty much as predicted and controlled by the producers. I believe the whole thing was scripted like a Lifetime story – see the pretty novice with the cute accent overcome adversity and win Project Runway over the experienced designers.

I don’t believe she had nothing ready for Tim’s visit, they just portrayed it that way because it worked best in the script
I don’t believe that the pieces and styling she showed for the three piece collection wasn’t staged so she could have a redemption arc
I don’t believe that she created last minute pieces by herself, they were already created and ready for the story arc.

I do believe we need to get Tim Gunn drunk on Cosmos and get the real scoop.

I agree about Viktor sabotaging himself. As long as Josh didn’t win I was going to be ok with it. So… I guess I’m ok with it. I can see Anya making a go of it though. She certainly has an eye for fashion and as we all know someone else will be doing the actual physical work.

That’s a little extreme, no? I wouldn’t have boycotted the sponsors of Twenty-One, and these shenanigans were comparatively mild.

  No. It is not a little extreme. It is the way losers are punished in a capitalist society. We cast our votes in the marketplace, supporting those we favor with our dollars and withholding our money from those we do not. It has proven to be remarkably effective. From your response, it appears you are either apathetic or have a high tolerance for bullshit.

    I have a bit of an ethical problem with using the boycott for something that’s essentially frivolous–at the end of the day, we’re arguing with the results of a talent competition. Don’t watch, sure, and spread the word that the judging is rotten and the outcome unsatisfactory. But “boycott” is what we did when, say, Dr. Laura got a TV show to spread anti-gay BS to a bigger audience. It might be a quantitative and not a qualitative difference, but it’s still an important one. Keep the powder dry.

      My biggest pet peeve is seeing bad behavior rewarded. Because when we tolerate bad behavior, without meaning to, we encourage it. Tolerance of bad behavior is what has put this country in the toilet. Granted, PR is just a TV show, but I feel that my trust and belief in their integrity as a franchise has been violated. I was a loyal fan for nine seasons. Even after last year’s travesty, I continued to watch, hoping that the show would return to its former standards. Well, that didn’t happen and I feel betrayed. I will not reward them, their sponsors or anyone affiliated with this debacle. I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.

quelle surprise. yawnya won.

Won after judges admitted most of the female population could not wear her gown (same dress different print). She picked prints omfg– but she did not create those prints. Victor created his. Very insulting for viewers and designers. The shame is I used to watch this show and be inspired. Project Runway is done. I wonder if TLo will be writing the eulogy.At least I have the good seasons on dvd. I see I have up to season 6.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=8402388 Mike Benedetto

I said I was out after Gretchen’s win but allowed myself to be coaxed back. Big mistake.

What did we watch all of this for? They were lying to us, again and again, telling us that our untrained eyes were mistaken, that Josh had good ideas under the bad taste, that it required creativity and skill to drape silk the way Anya did, that making ready-to-wear clothes for stiltwalkers was a good way to demonstrate one’s talent as a fashion designer. And they lied SO badly. They couldn’t even be bothered to edit over the bits where they clearly changed the rules to benefit someone they favored.

And here’s the worst thing: they couldn’t even manipulate the results in a way that would be pleasurable to watch, bringing JOSH into the final two, of all people. Do you know how long we were waiting to see that nasty, mildly talented piece of work get kicked down? He had to beat EVERYONE other than the one they’d preordained as the winner, forcing us to ROOT for him if we wanted a non-dilettante to win the day?

I was thinking of TiVoing the show next year and watching only if the early reviews were decent. I can’t do even that anymore. Whether or not the producers are manipulating them, the judges simply can’t be trusted any longer to give assessments that are…I’m not sure whether the word is “honest” or “sane,” but I don’t think it matters. It was fun for a few years.

Sadly the opinion many have of the judges now, I have had for a long time. Nina has propped up other cluster-f’s and Kors has slammed better designs.

Tim’s advice has seemed like sabotage and Heidi? well this is just another example of her maniopulations
http://profiles.google.com/trashilove { edi } ilovetrash

thats why they did it.
they only kicked josh down at the very very end so the person who seemed to do the kicking was anya, so those of us who didnt like anya, say, or maybe just didnt want her to win would at least be thrilled w/ her for being josh’s ~~vindication~~ vindicator? the person who stood in for the audience that hated josh & wanted him kicked. Our Hero[ine].
something like that, i’m sick so i’m yakking too much & not well, but the concept’s right.
all very calculated.

Well…shit on a shingle. That was painful. I found myself almost hoping Josh would win. At least Clinique can freakin’ sew and drape. Every look of Anya’s was the same over and over again. Vicktor…you were robbed…almost worse than Mondo b/c you got no love through the entire season and your designs really were the closest of this season’s finalists to what the old PR used to be. Sad is what I am. I will look back on this season the way I look back on ER after Anthony Edwards left; after Ron Howard left Happy Days; after Delta Burke left Designing Women; John Goodman’s absence from Roseanne; and David Duchovny leaving Xfiles.

This is the beginning of the long slow spiral that is the end of Project Runway. All those attached to the show don’t realize some critical piece is missing. (or more likely, don’t care). So they keep pounding on its chest, pumping things into to to keep it going. But that magical something that made the show work is gone, gone, gone.
Some shows know when to leave…Mary Tyler Moore, Cheers, Seinfeld. Some shows just let themselves die…a slow, twisted, painful end.

Sad is what I feel.

“Best” is subjective. But the controversial wins in the past were at least defensible–Daniel V. choked and gave Chloe an opportunity, and Jeffrey over Uli and Laura was a tough call, etc. When they have to go on and on and on with the BS to explain why black is really white…

Y’all, be pissed about the winner– and rightfully so– but Josh executed a literal copy of his tangerine bird entry and it went completely unnoticed. Down to the tacky underarm chain. Identical draping.

Doubt it.
She’s got her supporters, and she was certainly a more empathetic figure. Gretchen was edited to be wretchedly unlikeable and had little else to commend her, with few merits to her final collection. There has been at least some neutral-to-positive leaning feedback from the commentariat re. Anya, and even from this blog if you scroll back and look back at the top 10 collections shown at fashion week.

I don’t think this blog is particularly representative, and frankly, the tone of posts about Anya from TLO have been damning enough to sour her collection in more than a few readers’ eyes. Objectively, it was an underwhelming but attractively appointed collection. Just as Viktor was a technician whose vision was, occasionally, off the mark.

but if even the GFY girls like her, she’s likely more popular elsewhere than she ever should be, sadly.

I feel like they tried to script this season to be the opposite of last year.

Anya was scripted to be the favorite (Mondo) and Josh was the annoying one you didn’t want to win (Gretchen). And look what happened Mondo won over Gretchen.

The issue is that they had to put so many twists and manipulations in to make that happen because she was so weak as a designer and seamstress that resentment built up for her and it backfired on them.

IMO they missed the story that would have worked – Bert wins, overcoming the loss of his partner and friends, being out of the industry for so long and losing his way but regaining inspiration via the experience of Project Runway. And he had the design and sewing chops to pull it off without a ton of producer manipulation.

But he’s not a pretty beauty queen and this is Lifetime TV.
- http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=8402388 Mike Benedetto
  
  They could have made a story about any of the designers if need be. They always can. What they forgot was that we don’t care about the story as much as we care about the work, and we don’t want to hear the story at all if the work doesn’t merit the attention. I could give two shits about Anya’s heritage or her pageant experience or her dead brother or her sex tape–her designs were never good enough to get me interested in the woman who created them. Nor did I ever care to hear Josh’s rhapsodies on the unique fact that he has lost a parent (which was trotted out to best effect as an excuse for why he was such an asshole).
  
  I don’t know…were ratings markedly awful when nice-guy Seth Aaron beat out two relatively undramatic opponents on the basis of excellent work alone?

I hope she continues to enjoy her life of beauty and privilege far away from me, but unfortunately I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of her.

My outrage abated during the “ILOSTMYMONEHBETWEENMYBOOBEHS” episode (did the producers check those stinky boots? i’m sure envelope was sweating in one of those) because I saw the fix was in then. However, utter confusion set in when The Duchess started judging of Anya by saying “we hated those last two designs, and look how she turned it around!” (paraphrasing). So, how did she ever make it to the finals if the judges hated two of her three final looks????????

I think it’s especially heartbreaking because the judges were relentless in finding stupid, pointless things to criticize about Viktor all season. The sheer looks were a misfire (although I actually sorta loved the swishy flowy one), but it’s easy to see how Viktor might have lost his mind trying to meet their contradictory demands. I think he took Heidi’s request to make a black pants and top for the white leather jacket and tried to work that through his collection, and this was the result.

His loss really upsets me not just because I like him and his clothes, but because it honestly hurts to see the judges mindf*ck a designer who appears to have talent and genuine commitment to his craft, and then on top of that, humiliate him with third place.

This show was SO lame I began vacuuming the carpet in the middle of it. Plus, I had to rescue a possum in our backyard, so there was that. And the Rangers are winning, so that’s good! Then we actually had rain today, after months of drought. Lastly, I had to answer some whiny complaints from my students, and that wasn’t much fun. But, in summation: EVERY SINGLE THING I EXPERIENCED TODAY was more interesting than Project Runway.

They didn’t want a repeat of the Mondo situation… so they decided to screw over the most deserving designer of the season by placing him THIRD instead of second? Brilliant!!!

Umm, dare I say that I LIKE some of the accessory contestants? There were 3 pretty fantastic looks and even the bottom two weren’t awful. Loved the leather look stuff.

Thanks for letting me know through this blog who won and it’s no surprise to anyone. Anya’s PR people have been in cahoots with Lifetime and PR from the very beginning. She may actually have a career in showbusiness ahead of her for however long her 15 minutes could last. Funny how her pageant dreams bloomed into a reality TV career while taking a detour into amateur porn for publicity. I’m glad I haven’t been watching since 3 episodes ago.

Mary McClelland

My theory is she is trying to usurp Kim Kardashian as the reining queen of hollywood’s “accidentally leaked” sex tapes and then she will get her own show and start slapping her name on every piece of polyester made in China schlock that comes her way for a few bucks. But she’ll be a big star with In Touch covers galore!

  That’s exactly how I see it. After she has graced every tabloid rag imaginable and she starts selling her line at Sears, future Project Runway seasons will refer to her as one of their successful winning designers.

I knew I was having a difficult time with my relationship with Project Runway when I was fast forwarding to the end of the finale. I used to press pause so I didn’t miss a single second. At this point the judges have no credibility. Not like they have had any over the past few seasons anyways. We’ll see how the neilson ratings shake out, but after seeing another undeserved win I’m pretty sure I won’t be watching again. Glad you changed the name of your blog.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder what kind of fukktard was I that I actually held on to hope up until the last 20 minutes that stylist, er, designer was going to be the first sent back to the green room. What pageant winner with an agent and a publicist is going to agree to be on the show, being paid gawd only knows how much up-front, and not be guaranteed the win? In this way, B/M can even say with a relatively straight face that they didn’t pay her to be on the show, even though with the way the whole thing was scripted and the unexpected fan voting (only 2 got any votes at all and in the last day a sudden surge to beat him a couple hundred thousand?) and whatever that $20K challenge was (how quickly my brain RAM is trying to erase Project Runway!). So even thought they didn’t hand her a check up front, she got at $130,000+ for a couple months of her time. As they say, if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck- Anya walked through the show like a paid appearance and the judges talked like it was a paid appearance.

I just remembered that during the early Project Runway seasons, Tim did a podcast! It was so delightful, I used to sit on the subway listening on my iPod, gaffawing to myself as other subway riders looked at me like I was nuts. Now I haz a sad.

I was actually discussing this show with my neighbor who is a BIG fan of Anya. And I was saying how none of these folks compare to Christian Siriano, Seth Aaron, Daniel V, Nick Verreos. And she was getting angry with me for slighting Anya, saying “That is like comparing apples to oranges!” But I likened it more to comparing big juicy galas to the crab apples that grew on the tree on my grandma’s front lawn.

Yeah, apples to oranges IS how one would compare people who can sew to people who can’t.

You know, I’m kind of an idiot about shows I love. I stick with everything once I become a fan, and usually until the bitter end. I have a terrible time stopping a show even when I grow to hate it. I mean, I watched the X-Files to the bitter end. But this is now off my season pass on the dvr, and I need to be done with it. I am really going to miss Tim, but they’ve neutered him so much it’s not the same anyway.

At least I can still check in with the bitter kittens, though, next season and bask in the snark.

A travesty, but we sort of already knew that this brake-less juggernaut was barreling at us. We just hoped there’d be some way to divert it from its collision course right into our affection for what had been a diverting and thought-provoking show that showcased innovation and talent challenged to keep inventing and speaking a voice. I missed half of this season because I was out of the country, and I’m sincerely happy that I didn’t spend those Thursdays watching the insults to my and our intelligence multiply.

I have other things to do on Thursday nights – like work (yes, we work late at IP Central), or seeing friends, or getting some additional time in the hay with a good. entertaining book or copping some much needed zzzs. That will be my Thursday night prescription going forward. Project Runway (know, dear Tom and Lorenzo, this is NOT directed at you, who are a cherished part of my existence), you’re no longer worthy of my time.

Oh man am I bitter, disappointed but very sadly, not surprised. The minute they started playing Gretchen’s runway music from last season when Heidi said “Victor” I knew things were going to turn out the way we all hoped they wouldn’t. Why do the talented ones always seem to shoot themselves in the foot? I haven’t been happy with the show since SA’s win, and that was hardly the glory season. I said I was done with this show before, but now I really am, except maybe for that accessories show, and maybe allstars… (Man I’ve got a pair of round heels when it comes to PR..)

It’s weird, I usually don’t mind when reality tv is obviously rigged. But Bravo competition shows have always had a certain amount of integrity when it came to picking winners. Even last year, I may have disagreed with Gretchen winning, but I thought she was the judges honest pick. Oh well, at least I still have Top Chef, where the 9 times out of 10 the winner will be an unlikeable, lumpy looking white guy who genuinely outcooked the fan favourites.

Coming out of lurkmode (and forgive me if this has already been postulated), but the PR Allstars commercial had me wondering something. Does anyone else find the timing of Lifetims’e decision to move Allstars from November to some unspecified time in 2012 suspicious? Because, I won’t be surprised (and hardly a new sensation after this season) if Allstars ends up running in the same time-slot as NBC’s Fashion Star. Especially considering who is producing Fashion Star.

What is this Fashion Star and who is producing it? I am done with BM and will not be sitting through another one of their seasons. The last All Stars I watched they gave the win to David V., who while good looking and talented, produced a collection quite underwhelming. However, it was wonderful to see Uli again– I guess I am torn because I also love Mila. I wonder if they can’t jump the sinking BM ship d/t contractual obligations.

  I just looked it up. It’s an NBC show looking for “the next big brand.” (Anya will probably win this one too.)
  
  In the very brief description, they describe the “mentors” for this show. They include Nicole Richie. Who is described–and I swear, I am not making this up, as “philanthropist, actor, author, and creative director.”
  
  Memo to NBC:
  Hosting Beverly Hills charity luncheons does not make you a philanthropist. Andrew Carnegie was a philanthropist. Bill Gates.
  Being one idiot in a two-idiot “reality” show does not make you an actress. Meryl Streep is an actress. Laura Dern.
  I don’t even know what to say about the “author” title, except that it is hilarious to put that word in the same sentence with “Nicole Richie.”
  
  Bottom line: Whatever it is, it looks like it’s even worse than the BM PR.

Just in case anyone is curious, I did a completely unscientific count of Anya’s looks over the course of the season. Some of my categorizations may be debatable here, but you get the gist of it. A couple notes:

1. I counted the looks shown last week as separate looks, since everyone had time to redesign and she axed 2 out of 3 anyway.
2. I did not count the menswear look into the separates or pants, because really, what else was she gonna do?
3. I counted the bathing suit/cover-up combinations as separates.
4. Besides last week’s looks, I did not count the other pieces she scrapped for the finale, as we didn’t get to see them well enough.

Sleeveless: 23 1/2 (the half comes from her one-sleeve dress)
V-Neck or Open Tops: 19
“Flowy” Looks: 19
Dresses: 19
Separates: 6
High Neck: 6
One Shoulder: 3
Jumpsuits: 3
Shorts: 2
Pants: 2 (neither of which were fitted)
Jackets: 0

yeah, I felt that the black looks provided a nice break for the prints. If he did all prints, they would have said too many prints. The only thing I wish was that he had kept that grey dress and left out that sheer one. But he still should’ve won regardless.

um Viktor’s mirrored print was courtesy Givenchy s/s12 and that white leather jacket was Terence Koh with a splash of Burberry, so no, his point of view wasn’t especially fresh or his own….not that Anya deserved to win but i was perfectly fine with him being called 3rd

This is the first episode I’ve actually watched most of since the opening episode. I think I’ll just stick to reading TLo’s posts and skip watching from now on. Sad because I used to be so excited for each week’s episode that I’d stay up and watch the replay.

Viktor blew it. Where did all that hiddy black chiffon come from?

Anonymous

Agree, that just killed his collection – when they separated it out into two groups, it was really obvious how bad that stuff was, and how great the prints were.

  I didn’t think it showed how bad the sheers were, but it was obvious that it almost looked like two different collections. Might he have gotten second place if there were more cohesion? He still wouldn’t have won if those who believe the *fix was always in* are right. I loved his prints.
Anonymous

Coming into this episode, just from the pictures, I thought Viktor had far and away the best collection; seeing it on the runway, all that black chiffon really overwhelmed the beauty of his prints.
Nina was right, he did miss a huge opportunity in not combining the sheer chiffon with his prints.
Anonymous

Now this is where I think I disagree. Wasn’t each one a DIFFERENT DESIGN. with black fabric and sheer fabric has been ALL over the runways in the last couple of years.

I’d say it is FAR more fitting in a DESIGN COMPETITION to make 3 to 4 DIFFERENT DESIGNS with SAME FABRIC than to make 3 or 4 of the SAME DESIGN/OUTFIT with 3 to 4 DIFFERENT FABRICS.

Case closed (imo)

I liked a lot of the chiffon. I didn’t love it more than his finale dress or some of the other things he scrapped, but I believe he thought: ‘I’m not going to win so who the eff cares – I’m going to show the stuff I want – not the stuff the judges want me to, because hell I’m at fashion week’. I mean none of them were emotional when they realized they didn’t win and Anya wasn’t even emotional when she was pronounced winner. It was all contrived and the contestants knew it.

If last year I was pissed, this year I don’t care. Viktor was the clear winner, but he came in 3rd. AS absurd as that is, it goes in hand with all the other absurdities of this boring season. Last year I was emotionally yelling at the TV about being done with this show, this year I didn’t even want to watch the finale, I wasn’t on the edge of my seat with anticipation, I simply stopped caring. And I am done watching this show. Waste of time and energy. Thanks for freeing up my schedule, BM and Lifetime.

Exactly how I feel. So bored now. I rarely watched any episodes all season long or, if I did, just tuned in for the runway shows and, even then, did housework, puttered, played on the laptop, baked, etc., and only half-watched. And, yes, pure anger last season. Now, just indifference.

I’m prepared for the vitriol I’ll get — but I actually liked Anya’s clothes. I think they were beautiful. HOWEVER, they were all exactly alike, and looked like they were all just draped over a form at the last minute (because at least half of them were).
The last minute “You get $500 to use at Mood!” was so blatantly their attempt to rescue her — she should have been out already for those atrocious things she showed in her mini collection.
I think she made amazing things out of that extra chance she got — but they were so one note. Completely. Every single one of the other collections deserved the win more than hers, for that reason alone.
I sat here, watching by myself saying “Oh no, they’re not! They are! They are! They did! I cannot believe they gave her the win!”
I have really missed Tim Gunn’s blog this season…never more than right now when I would have loved to hear what he has to say about all this.
Ridiculous.

Deborah Bonner

I think most of us agree with you at least 90%. I thought her clothes were pretty too and everyone agrees she has great style but no originality. No one is going to yell at you for giving your opinion and I haven’t seen anyone being yelled at here except for being very rude.
http://profiles.google.com/shannonlstewart Shannon Stewart

When I was showing my husband the final collections last night, he had the nicest things to say about Anya’s (and believe me, he’s not one to be impressed by a beauty queen.) His comments after he finished looking at all of them was that he liked Anya’s the best and that’s why she shouldn’t have won — he liked it because the stuff was pretty and normal and looked like clothes people would buy at Macy’s. There wasn’t anything new there, it was just pretty.

Joshua

I know I’m late and I do wonder what everyone’s been saying, but after watching, it seems clear to me Kimberly should have won, and I am more surprised than anyone to hear myself say that. But at the same time, I find it really hard to care who won because this season has been such a joke. Let’s drink to the hope that All Stars redeems PR from the last two seasons.

Anonymous

Deflating and depressing outcome…and to think that TLo called it all along. I was just hoping it wasn’t true. Anya was a mean spirited player, took everyone’s help but offered none to others, and the most one-note collection ever. Yeah, caftan and sandals and plunging necklines. 3 of the most disappointing outcomes recently (Irina, Gretchen, Anya) have convinced me I will not give this show another chance. All the help they gave Anya to make sure she’d win – especially last week to keep her in the finals – means this isn’t a competition at all. So long, Project Runway…I’ve got better things to do than sit through a sham like that again…!

Didn’t you love when Michael said a “plunge” was difficult to construct! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! in his dreams!
- Anonymous
  
  I laughed out loud when he said that. Granted, I don’t sew, but remember how they criticized the hell out of Laura Bennett for always falling back on plunging necklines? And hers were always GORGEOUSLY constructed. Pfft. The judging was ridiculous.

  A plunge is very hard to construct — when you aren’t working with runway models. I’ve done a lot for myself, and they are a bitch to make. But I wear at least a DD, and it’s hard to get the right coverage when you have actual breasts.
  
  On a runway model, it’s really just a freaking triangle!
Alberto Galarce

I thought Irina deserved her win.

Anonymous

We all saw it coming.

“Only been sewing for 4 months” has been the battle cry from episode 1; the stage was set.

Doesn’t matter how much the viewers rant, rave and rail, once the fix is in and the PRODUCERS HAVE SPOKEN.

That bathing suit was ‘phenomenal’? Please.

When I first tuned in they were 10 minutes along, and Joshua was–you guessed it–crying. Figured then I’d just have the show on in the background, skip all the tears, and zero in on the runway.

What a mess of a season. It’s a relief that it’s over. Bet Tim was relieved too, when they stopped filming.

And I don’t give a rat’sass about Project Accessory.

Joshua

Criticize all you want, but it’s not easy making eight of the same dresses in two days.

Anonymous

I think she did it in two hours. She got them all predominantly done the first day on her return from Mood. The second day was spent styling.

Joshua

If you take into consideration the entire season, Kimberly still has more chops than Josh and Anya. But even without that jazz, she had the best collection tonight. Viktor’s was a total disappointment.

Anonymous

Well…at least Josh didn’t win, lol. Sorry Viktor and Kimberly! You both deserved better.

Anonymous

I’ve felt for awhile that Project Runway was getting worse and worse for a few seasons now but this is just ridiculous. I knew Anya was going to win but did they have to insult my intelligence even further by making Viktor third.

The After the Runway show was interesting. The contestants that made it to the finals seemed to be resigned to the fact that Anya was going to win no matter what and said they lines of acceptance easily. The contestants brought back seemed to have a harder time saying their congratulations. Laura especially was interesting to watch. The face she made when Anya said she was moving to New York told the real truth of how she felt about Anya and her win.

Anonymous

What a joke. PERIOD……..Sigh..

Anonymous

I don’t need a drink, I need a bottle after that. Calling Kimberly first?? Really?? When it was down to Josh & Anya I knew it was over. A collection with literally no variation, designed in 48 hours after getting a bonus shopping trip at Mood. No challenging make another look addition, simply extra time for the producers choice. Depressing.

Anonymous

Kimberly, while she was not the winner, looked great. That dress and her great figure made her look like one of the models.

Anonymous

Ummm….so that happened. I thought it was interesting that for both Kimberly and Anya, the judges suggested that they weren’t quite there yet as designers, but for Kimberly, this became a limiting factor, while for Anya, it signaled the potential for evolution. It seems clear WHY they picked Anya – she has a very definable and sellable brand. While the clothes may not be as intricate or polished as those exhibited in the other collections, Anya herself is a hot commodity. The question is whether or not this is the criteria upon which the Project Runway prize money should be awarded. If the money is to be given to the person who, in that moment, is able to express and impeccably execute a clear point of view that is unique and aesthetically pleasing, then the wrong person won. If, however, the money is viewed as an investment into the individual the judges think has the best potential to stand out in the industry among a sea of designers by virtue of their brand, then Anya deserved the win. There’s no denying that Anya does have some innate talent for design and styling – and when she had an opportunity to work with someone who had actual execution skills (Bert), she was able to put out designs of a much higher caliber. I think the prize money will probably serve her much better than it would any of the other contestants, who have the ability to fully execute their visions themselves. I’m not saying I agree with the judges’ decision, but I do understand it. I wasn’t blown away by any of the final collections, but I do think based on the garments themselves (and not current or future branding potential) Victor should have won. I still had a good time watching the finale, though – especially since my partner has gotten sucked in this season (I tell him he chose the wrong season to get on board, but he still seems to like it, so I’m happy! I’m hoping All Stars will be awesome and he’ll be blown away).

you know, i wish i looked like anya, and lived on a beach, and could wear those kind of clothes everyday, but still… that win was ridiculous. i can’t even beleive i was rooting for josh when it came down to the two of them. personally, i thought kimberley should have won, but i would have been satisfied if victor had as well.
anyway, am i mistaken that uli lost for the same reason that anya won? also, why is victor such a good designer and such a bad dresser?

I’m done. I’M DONE. I know everyone said this after Mondo lost to what’s-her-nose, only to return this season, but I mean it. I’m FINISHED with PR. Honestly, I watched this season as noise in the background while I did other work. That has never been the case for me and Project Runway. I’ve been a fan since Andre screamed the words “Where the HELL is my chiffon?” (I missed the 1st season, so the 2nd season is my first and favorite) and I haven’t missed an episode… until this season. I didn’t even watch the finale because I knew what was going to happen. This was BY FAR the WORST season of PR in the show’s history. I was never impressed with one single designer, not even Viktor (although Laura’s final collection is my favorite thing to come out of this season, and it didn’t even air).

I’m DONE.

Ok, fine… I’ll probably tune in for All Stars, but only because absolutely no individuals from this season will be involved in it.

  The producers yes, but no Tim and different judges. I can’t remember what the name of the “Tim” is- Joanna Coles I think, something like that, but as I recall her, she has been one of the most viciously snarky judges, so I’m not anticipating much nurturing mentorship going on.

but honestly though regardless of who wins isn’t it still fun to watch clothes be designed? i’m mad that anya won but i still really enjoyed the season despite the fact that something frustrating happened almost every episode (anya’s wins, josh’s wins, anthony ryan and laura’s eliminations, etc etc)
- Anonymous
  
  There really wasn’t much design. There was a lot of arguing, a lot of talking about who pissed who off, a lot of talking about dead relatives, a lot of talking about only sewing for four months. A lot of time spent with the two pretty mean girls being bitchy and talking behind the back of the other omen. A lot of Joshua talking about everybody. And considering how much very very scripted this season came about, the stories were not all that compelling.
  
  And there just did not seem to be a lot of time devoted to what most people here turn on the show for. There wasn’t a lot of time spent watching fabric being draped, not a lot of time spent in the sewing room unless it provided a opportunity for Josh to bitch at somebody. Perhaps because the anointed one this season lacked both design and construction skills, they were more hinted at than actually seen, and we were left with a lackluster bunch of people with little to entice one to keep watching. other than the hope that a spark the old Project Runway will peek through.

    Agree. I will not be watching again, not because I want to send a message to Lifetime, but simply because I am bored. This is not the show I loved–and it is not a matter, simply, of who won, but the whole thing–drama over design process, bogus judging (I used to look forward to their comments), and, of course, the inevitable end.

*sniff* I guess we’ve been naive to think craftsmanship was a requirement to win. We were behind the times to not understand it’s all about branding, and whose name or face will look best with the shoes, the back-to-school supplies, the clothing deal with WalMart or Target, the rain boots, shawl, hairbrush, suitcases, the designer travel douche kit or whether your face will look good on the side of a bus.

If that’s the case, I think this blog should put forth a few candidates for PRG the next round. I’m sure we could find some charismatic people with no sewing skills but plenty of ideas and loads of style. Maybe one of you is a beautiful sort as well. We can even have a group vote on what kind of accent we’ll ask you dish out. And you can have your choice of character to base your persona on: House, M.D.; Kathy Bates in Harry’s Law; or Jack Bauer in 24.

I’m thinking Jack Bauer. What say you, TLO & company?

Anonymous

I don’t think branding really had anything to do with it. One of two females at the time of the 3-piece collection had a publicist and an agent. Pageant winners frequently have publicists and agents. Do you really think an good agent or publicist would let their client come on show like this and lose? The same female mentioned also called asking for MORE money, which would imply that some money had either already changed hands or been promised. It would seem like a great piece of deniablity for a production company to say they didn’t pay any contestants, when they circumvented that a little bit by having every dime of prize money going to the same unskilled contestant.

So I don’t think branding had anything to do with it; it was more the story line that BM wanted to produce, and the way the payment to the hired help was made.

  I completely agree with what you’re saying about how it went down from the producers end, but Anya was certainly in it to create a brand for herself.
- margaret meyers
  
  The extra $500 and another swipe at Mood was so typical of how the producers have been helping Anya all season by adding extras. I was surprised they didn’t add a seamstress to sweeten the deal. “$500 and a sweatshop sewer to help each of you finish your collection!”

    It was an online article that was posted here a couple times last week in which Tim Gunn mentions that one of the contestants had an agent who was asking the producers for “more money” for his client.
    
    The article also talks about an editing session in which one of the producers (? or the director?) says the scene being watched–sewing a garment– (paraphrasing) would not be interesting to viewers and Tim declares “I’m interested!” Basically saying that the producers were transitioning the show from fashion design/construction to uh, the shitfest that it is today.

That was awful. The whole season was like a train with Anya’s face on the front of it and there was just no stopping it. I was looking forward to All Stars, but I think I’ll just read TLo’s posts here rather than waste my time watching.

I just want to thank all those who posted during the show. I went back and read from the beginning because I wanted to see what you did when the final judging was over and the winner announced. HILARIOUS! I quit watching, except for commercial time surfing, several episodes ago. I love it here. I’m never leaving.

Oh! I get it! PR is the show you win by NOT designing anything. Poor Viktor, silly goose went all out and designed clothes.

After last season, B-M realized the winner needed a promo package because the second-place runnerup is the success story, so when Anya™ Inc (a Trump subsidiary) brought them the pageant girl, the redemption, the whole package for the win — the producers jumped at the chance. They couldn’t pay her to participate (heaven forfend!) but they could guaran-damn-tee Anya™ the win, and apparently every penny of prize money. Michael Kors and Nina Garcia clearly view her as a shopper (“a great eye for prints!”) and Heidi sees her as a brand extension. Anya™ will be B-M’s house “designer” like the Kardashian chicks are “designers:” send them five items to choose three from, slap her name on those three and put them into the Macy*s seasonal kiosk. Resort wear, resort tablecloths, resort beach umbrellas, resort scent, resort luggage, resort flip-flops, resort slipcovers, resort scarves — all chosen by Anya™ specifically for you! And each emblazoned with Anya™’s magic signature.

Not a design programme any more; just a long, drawn-out brand launch interrupted by other companies’ product placements.

I was shocked when they eliminated Viktor before both Anya and Josh. Last season was perfect with the amount of drama and talent, and them not crowning Mondo was a travesty. This season, Anya’s crowning seemed to be right on point with the over-emphasis on drama and under-emphasis of design bravado.

This is so damn infuriating because Anya’s dresses, while beautiful, were all the same design. I could not believe my ears when Heidi laid into Viktor for the variation in his collection. Yeah, Heidi, he designed different things. He DESIGNED. For the DESIGN show. And the added wonderful part of his collection is they were cohesive enough to belong in one woman’s closet, but diverse enough to give that woman options for her mood. (Lady-like demure? Mysterious glam? Fun Vegas-y Party?).

John Manson

yea Viktor’s collection was far and beyond the most cohesive. There’s a difference between cohesive and just mindlessly and ignorantly repetitive (Anya). Josh’s collection was for about 5-7 different women and while I thought Kim deserved the win I think one fault was that outside of the colour palette she was dressing two different types of women. Viktor on the other hand created 10 looks that all belong in the same closet and this cohesion was done in such a thoughtful and slick way.
Anonymous

Agreed. I posted below – where someone complained he used too much “sheer chiffon”

Right???

Viktor DESIGNED 3 to 4 looks with the 1 fabric.
Anya “designed” 1 Look with 3 to 4 fabrics

John Manson

Viktor’s collection wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. I definitely think that he deserved second place. KIM on the other hand deserved 1st place as her collection was well made, versatile and had a strong point of view. Anya deserved third place because her collection was visually pleasing but underdesigned and not well constructed. Josh deserved 4th place because there was zero cohesion, and a strange combination of tacky and boring.

Hello All,

I’m really curious about theories as to why they appear to have fixed this season. I’ve been reading all of the interesting comments from TLo and everyone else. Was this really just to have material for a Lifetime movie (I guess we’ll see…)? Was it because they were in love with the idea of having a rags-to-riches (sewing for four months to winning PR) storyline that they thought (wrongly!) would captivate viewers? Was it that she filled a demographic they wanted among their viewers (young, beautiful women???). Seriously, I wonder what was in it for them, given that, in fact, judging from this site, it alienated a lot of their fans. Do tell your theories!

    Oh true, I just meant that in the sense of learning a new skill…totally in the sense of the woman who just learned to sew goes on to beat the odds and win a fashion design competition! Anya is clearly very privileged, given her home, her beauty, her pageant title…agreed that no one would think her life up to PR was ragged.

Blech. After the ‘critiques’ it was clear that Anya’s set of the same dresses in different fabric for skinny people who look just as good naked as clothed was going to win so I just fast forwarded the show right on off. Blech.

Here’s a hint to producers. People shouldn’t want to fast forward the finale of your show.

Jane,

Or fall asleep during the judging which is what I did last night. A first “in the history of PR” for me.

I’ve not been one of the folks whove said “that’s it, I’m not watching any more” on the past 3 (?) wretched seasons of lifetime PR but last night did it. It’s very unlikely I’ll be back as a viewer.

In the case of most runway models, they don’t look good naked — skeletons aren’t particularly pretty. There are some who manage to keep just enough flesh on to hide the bones and I’m sure they look great.

Haha, it`s kinda like the producers sayin: “Hey, you thought LAST season was a shocker with Gretchen winning? Wait for this one, cause this time the winner doesn`t even know how to sew! Take this, audience! *evillaughter*”

It is just ridiculous.

Heidi as a host of Germany`s next Top Model has been all over in the media because of the bullshitting going on on her program and the way her “models” got treated by her “agency” (aka her father) for beeing treated like slaves and whored out. Guess she`ll go for the same now in the US.

Hello,

My posts aren’t actually replies; I’m just new to this and I don’t see any other way to post. I have another question:

I’m actually surprised that Tim, Nina and Michael are willing to put up with this much producer manipulation. Seriously, they’ve put years of their lives into this show and have built some impressive authority and cred in the fashion world through their non-PR work. Their treatment of Anya made them look like fools. I’m actually surprised they’re willing to whore themselves this much for a (mighty) paycheck. They lose credibility in their fields and let’s face it–none of them needs the money. So, why aren’t they standing up to the producers? Why aren’t they fighting to use their knowledge to actually judge fashion? The current set-up just humiliates them.
- margaret meyers
  
  Tim’s non-presence on the show this year, I hope, indicates that he was edited OUT because his footage didn’t fit the narrative the producers wanted. Even the strange insert where Tim said ‘everything I liked the judges hated: whut-r-u-gonna-do’ seemed added.
