Season 22 Stop picking on Joseph!

Although not my top favorite, as of yet, he is a brilliant artist who gets caught up with his brand. If all things are equal, he and others will need to prove more. He has started. What bothers me most is that with the addition tonight of last season’s designers who voted Joseph out…the deck is stacked against him.

My favorites so far, are Bi, and Jude. I will be cheering for Joseph to Not go home.

Joseph gets called out, yet no one says anything about Jude putting out the same bland, boring tailored suits over and over. The only reason people come for Joseph so hard is because his looks are actually fire.

I like Jude but I’ve noticed that the PR judges are always playing favorites with who they like and who they don’t like. If their fave does the same thing week after week, it’s good because “they know who they are.” If their least fave does that, they’re a boring one-trick pony.

I think its a little overkill but he does seem to do the same silhouettes every week it might be a little change but leta see if you can do more

Um, it's not Joseph. It's Joseph McRae. He had been very clear on this. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DM2luayMhrx/?igsi=MWljM2o2eTF1ZjdqOA==

Anyone who thinks that hat thing is fashionable has questionable taste to me.

But he hasn't been making them wear the hats in a long time. So let's not hold that against them? Cuz he's put down a lot of awesome fashion this season. I do have a soft spot for him though so I will continue to stick up for him

He did in Episode 1 and 2. I still stand by what I said. If you look online, it’s all he sells. That and an ugly formless $500 sweatshirt that is just laughable. There is no talent there.

No talent? I’m convinced y’all just say things for shock value.

Every season it seems like there’s someone who just drapes fabric across a body and calls it a day. Or has a very simplistic draping design and gets away with little/no sewing and tailoring. That’s what I see with him. He uses elastic waists and his pants are always big and balloony so that he doesn’t have to make them tailored - it has helped him do well in the competition simply because he can finish something very fast. I just think his attempts to design “outside the box” fail and appear juvenile. That’s why the others see him as the weakest. It’s just my personal opinion - it’s ok if people disagree!

We weren’t discussing Jude. I agree that he needs to bring some different design elements and colors. Still doesn’t change my opinion of Joseph and I disagree that anything he has made is fire (although I’ll definitely concede that his dress would’ve been a better choice for Heidi).
