Re: Reality TV

Does Project Runway and Face Off count?
I also had the most amazing mix of fun and hardcore cringing while watching "The Quest".

Project Runway totally counts.

I used to be the most hardcore Project Runway stan. I had like every single designer and every single dress every done on the show memorized. And then seasons eight and nine and that one All Stars happened...

Re: Reality TV

[fishnchips]

I actually really can't stand Heidi Klum so every time I watch another episode of Project Runway, I keep thinking "Why do I watch this again?" haha!

Huh, I'm not quite sure what happened in the seasons you mentioned. I thought all those All Stars spin-offs were kinda weird, though.

Re: Reality TV

So basically season eight was the season that Mondo should've won, but the producers gave it to Gretchen for whatever reason. Tim Gunn went on camera afterwards basically saying they were crack-smokers. Heidi went to an awards ceremony later wear Mondo's final showpiece dress as another F- YOU.

And then the producers realized they fucked up, held another All Stars challenge and gave the win to Mondo. Both the first and second All Stars spin-offs (I haven't seen the others) were ways of correctly earlier judging decisions.

And then season 9, the win went to a woman who'd been only sewing for six months and I think sewed a total of ONE SLEEVE during the entire competition. The rest was beachwear/sleeveless gowns.

And in general there was a shift towards focusing on "personal stories" and trying to showcase narrative arcs, when really all anyone wanted to do was watch a bunch of talented designers get shoved in a room together, have meltdowns, and occasionally create beautiful works of fashion.

ALSO I'M STILL NOT OVER GORDANA FROM SEASON SIX. SHE WAS ROBBED. ROBBED.

Oooh, that actually explains a lot (the "All Stars is fixing the wrong decisions" part) - I thought they weren't exactly being very stealthy about it when it came to the All-Stars winners.

So true about Anya - it was so strange that they let her win - I mean, I liked her, but compared to the others, her skills were kinda meh.


I think my main problem is that for all that the judges whine about the contestants ~taste levels~, their own (especially Heidi's) are really off.

Re: Reality TV

[othellia]

Yeah, the judges decisions make more sense if you keep in mind a few things:

1. Heidi (as a model) loves short, tight, and shiny.
2. Michael (as a businessman) loves sellable, high-end fashion store stuff.
3. Nina (as an editor) loves editorial/photo shoot stuff.
4. The producers love to fuck with things and have the final say.

These days, I usually just browse TLo's recaps (THE unofficial PR bloggers) when I have the time/remember, and even they're pretty much bored of the show. :(

Re: Reality TV

[fishnchips]

That's all true, definitely. (I still think Heidi doesn't really have any fashion sense but that's another matter.)

It really is sad that it's gotten so boring they really have to milk the contestants for every bit of drama, OTT bitching and sob stories they can get.
