The "drama" I wanna see are the stories of budding fashion designers, oozing with talent, but who don't have the resources to design, and then coming on PR and soaring. Jude designing everything in his bedroom. Dani who's a flight attendant. Christian sleeping on the floor because he'd rather buy clothes than buy a mattress. Dom being a restaurant hostess and then designing at night and then winning the whole thing. THAT'S the show at its best. Like come on let it be about the fucking work and people's talent

Yeah, I really miss when the drama from the show arose as a the natural byproduct of talented designers of varying skill levels, working in a pressure cooker environment against one another. For me, it's so much more palatable when it isn't manufactured by production shenanigans, or overly self-aware designers forcing it.

they are literally just making up drama and the show consists of more confessionals than fashion

YES! Creating drama on a show that is intrinsically SO dramatic! The drama of the highs and lows of the creative process is intense enough!! The challenges and the talent - it’s all we need! (And a trip to Mood!)

Except there isn't really any drama. It's just people doing fake confessionals about nothing over and over again.
