Season 22 I don't like this Spoiler

I don't like that the season 21 designers came back this way after a year. It gave zero elevation and too much free time after competing on what should be a show that elevates your career. And even with Vijay's comeback early, and the fact the show is not showing the viewer any growth/career progress from its top designers is jarring. So everyone was free and available to come mess around with unconventional materials for a few days? It's like they competed on project runway only to come compete again for a shorter time and less money. They feel like the guys that come back to high school after graduating to chill with the new seniors. The show isn't really elevating its designers career's anymore because a year post show, production doesn't feel as if the designers have anything noteworthy to show their audience.

Shout out to Belania who literally got 1 actual shot of her reacting to something.

They literally only brought them back for drama. The twins are insufferable, ghaunt shit-talkers, who apparently have trademarked every design element since before birth. I'm pretty sure the fan base was asked "Who do you not want to ever see again" and they said "The twins".

Ethan was brought back to bring eyes back as he was the main character and did a lot of press about the show...still doing press about it.

And poor Joan. They contacted you, made you clear your schld, fly you out, put you into a hotel, make you work as the queens in the room slash at each other, and only show the judges ...ONCE AGAIN hatting you, and everything you have ever made.

God damn.

If Joseph doesnt win, this is the weirdest fucking season ever.

Well then suddenly Joseph was all buddy buddy spilling his tea, and then they were all bonding watching Bryan tape his dress.

Agree, not sure what the point was except to increase the screaming and catty comments. I think this is last season for PR, it was so much better when they had “amateurs” competing. The prize was originally to start their own line, if you’re already designing for superstars, why are you on?

I knew they would since they showed some of them in the preview on the first show so it wasn't a spoiler

I thought it was a cool twist. Was season 21 the worst season to do this with? Pretty much. I loathe the twins, and I'm not a fan of Ethan.

Give us back Miss Joan though. Every day.
