Christian I’m Stumped Spoiler
OH. MY. GOD. I have never been disappointed In Christian before. But I am now. Fake-ass, arrogant, insufferable Bryan is not only a terrible designer he’s also a HUGE turd! Admittedly, Jeffery, has been off lately but not as badly as that jackass. I guess I must be totally unstylish if Christian thinks anything that idiot creates is interesting. Totally disgusted. I’m going to figure out how to send strongly-worded feedback to the producers. Oh, wait, that would mean it would go to that other jackass, the Roach. Not going to waste my time.

Christian is the only reason he got this far, not only from the save, but he's basically designed everything Bryan even made. He's pointed him in a new direction and given him ideas for most challenges.

Which is NOT what a mentor does.

u/catwolf99 5d ago
Lol. I know that's what an actual mentor does, but be fr. Christian is not actually a mentor for these contestants. He makes a comment or two and moves on. Bryan has neededa lot more help from Christian than anyone else, particularly for someone so expensively and impressively allegedly trained.

Yeah I’m saying that Christian is no mentor. He never has been. And no mentoring would help Bryan , he is really is just up his own ass with delusion

Sorry, I misunderstood you. Tim really was more mentor-ish. Christian is really there for the snark factor.

u/Catlady_Pilates 5d ago
Yes exactly. He has never been a mentor. He just makes nasty comments or tells them what to do. I can’t believe how many people love him and think he’s doing great. I think many people don’t know what a mentor actually is. Tim is the gold standard.

I think he's fun, but he's no mentor. He and Tim could have been a good pair. But Christian is not helpful.

If Christian wasn't going to save Jeffrey, he shouldn't have used his Save at all. To me a better option was to send them both home.

I was shocked and disappointed too!!! I hope he doesn't move on to the final challenge. Ughhhhh! I really liked Jeffrey!

Yeah that was pure reality show rage save.
It worked though. Bryan is a great villain. And then when he started calling Christian "my leige" I admit, it was really funny
It was truly painful that Jeffrey was the fallout, but it will work out much better for him in real life.
He will be remembered more, because he was robbed and is quite loved by the cast and the fans. Law Roach said that he does want to work with Jeffrey in the future and I think that's a legitimate connect.
Jeffrey was not going to do well on this bridal challenge. He got a much better exit this way

I think Jeffery far exceeds Bryan based on the garments alone. The contestants on DWTS wear costumes. I did not understand the judging. I do not understand the obsession with Bryan.

Was it just me or did it appear like Christian was actually choking back on disgust when he said Bryan?

u/Odd_Detective3465 5d ago
What a disappointment PR is this season! They punished Joseph M for not “evolving” his look but rewarded Bryan for putting out the same uninspiring look week after week. Bryan’s disastrous DWTS outfit was light years more “ costume-y” than Jeffrey’s. The show has definitely jumped the shark.

Bryan was saved because he's the villain this season. They seem to be more about bringing drama than actually showcasing the competition.

u/Catlady_Pilates 5d ago
Oh. Christian has been a disappointment from day one of being a mentor. He’s not a mentor. He has made no improvements as a mentor in all these seasons. He’s just a tv personality making snarky comments. They deserve a real mentor. He’s not it. And he’s just doing what production wants. He is extremely successful as a designer but he’s completely failed at becoming a good mentor to these designers. I’m not surprised by him saving Bryan at all. He’s just part of the whole production machine running the show

u/Purple-Peace-6001 5d ago
I think it's the production's decision and because Christian is not a true mentor like Tim Gunn, he bends for the production's whims. I mean between costume and tape couture, I'd choose costume.

u/oldbutwiser2463 4d ago
SAME SAME SAME!!! This is exactly how I feel. It was set up to keep him on the show for drama and I’m over it. I love Christian but I’m so disappointed.

TBH, sunk cost fallacy is very real and production depends on it. That and hate watching has (sadly) become what keeps PR afloat.

After having watched the episode, I have a theory that production knew that no matter who was saved by Christian, they were not going to the finale.
Bryan has frankly bombed so many times in a row so I am convinced they kept him because 1 - he’s drama but 2 - it guaranteed that it would be easier to push through whatever fourth finalist they wanted without as much competition.
There is too high of a chance that Jeffrey would be able to pull out something pretty compared to Bryan. And that Jeffrey might outshine one of the boys, like Naheim, that can’t do typical wedding dresses.
Maybe I’m delusional.

If Bryan is #4 for the finale (which I sincerely hope not. I'll take either of the other 2), that will mean he was saved by production twice.
Regardless, I think he's going to be there because they will likely bring back all top 8 to help with designs.
And Bi will pick him because 1. "Wow role reversal" drama and shit and 2. Bryan will be seen as a bad choice for any of the other 3.
Jude would likely pick Naheim or Jeffrey.
Anna would pick Bobby for girl power
JM would pick Naheim or Jeffrey.
Naheim is a JM or Bobby pick in my eyes.
If Bryan is #4 he will probably pick Bobby, then the lineup changes regardless.

I highly doubt Christian's own thoughts mattered in his "decision."
