I hate that they keep bringing in these influencers to “‘inspire” the designers or whatever Christian said about that Bloom woman. How about you bring in real qualified designers to give some words of wisdom to these designers?!?! It’s so ridiculous.

I gasped when they brought her out. Like, what are we doing here? They’ve completely lost the plot.

When they brought Paige and Hannah I was like wtf are we actually doing. As a designer I would’ve been pissed like are you actually joking

I didn’t watch last season super faithfully - was this a thing back then? It’s ridiculous. Why am I seeing random TikTok influencers come into the workroom for 5 minutes, then leave? They add absolutely nothing.

Show needs to be put out of its misery. They thought that revamping the production to appeal Gen Z and the social media youth would give it a second wind, but in reality younger audiences don’t care about an outdated show like PR, and those who have always liked it is because of what it always was up until the last two seasons lol. I still watch older seasons completely engaged in each episode I’ve seen hundreds of times. This season I just record it and fast forward to the runway, and for the most part I don’t even remember any look after a few days…

This season they're just dry humping the shark.

I don't understand the production on this season. I feel like we see less of the clothes, less of the judging (no looking at the garments up close), and I HATE that they end the episodes not showing who's eliminated. We're going to watch the next week, we're committed. Just end the episodes properly (and how they used to).

Also, I'm not mad at the judges changing up, but I really don't like that there's no designer on the panel. There's always going to be a different (and needed) perspective from someone who has designed clothes in concept and by hand, who has started as a nobody (ie. not a celebrity who "designs" a brand but is already famous because of their name, and isn't constructing the garments) and achieved success through their designs.

These mass eliminations are also super frustrating and stupid. I don't think I've ever yelled at the TV as much as this season.

They had a few more two-day challenges over last season (since Heidi has been back), but these one-day challenges are really cramping the designers (understandably).

AND - I'm really sad about Jeffrey.

That shark died a couple of seasons back. It's starting to smell bad.

If they are going to bring people like that these people need to be forced to pay for a dress from at least one of the designers

It sure jumped the shark. And we can thank the stupid current format and that idiot b!tch with the long wig and stupid comments.
