The Project Runway reunion concluded season 13, which I did not want to end. Maybe that’s why it took me six days to watch it. The reunion was scattered and not cohesive, as the judges might say of a collection, but had its moments. During the time it focused on Korina Emmerich and Char Glover’s conflict, it was unexpectedly humanizing. A quick… continue reading
Project Runway 13
Project Runway ends with a deserving winner, not much drama
Project Runway ended a thoroughly satisfying season last night, one that had both drama and talent. The talent was so strong that Tim Gunn suggested the finalists were the best designers on the show ever, and any of the four would have been a satisfying winner, though the winner’s seemed to be the most cohesive… continue reading
Project Runway finalists go to Rome, then home
On the penultimate Project Runway, no one was eliminated, but the designers still showed work to the judges in order to have their dreams crushed. But first, Tim Gunn took them on a tour of Rome, and then visited them in their hometowns, or in the case of Sean, on his hometown public bench. Also, I… continue reading
Korina storming out of Project Runway is my new favorite reality show
Although the preview for Project Runway basically gave away the biggest moment of drama in this week’s episode, it was still immensely entertaining to watch Korina Emmerich freak out that she had to work with Char, the designer she lost to last week. Even better than we could have hoped To start: I was wrong. Based on… continue reading
Project Runway’s elimination brought tears. Of joy. To me.
Ugh. So unfair. Project Runway is so stupid; I can’t believe they’d do that. That super-talented designer Korina went home. And she was only given one additional chance to redeem herself! She clearly needs a second chance at a second chance to show that she really is better than all those talentless losers that she kept losing challenges to…. continue reading
Tim Gunn goes where he’s never gone before on Project Runway
On an all-new Project Runway, the designers have to find people in a New York City park and convince them to get makeovers and be models for three days, but the real drama comes after one designer essentially makes Tim Gunn dry heave and another prompts Tim Gunn to do something he’s never done before. Also, guess who said mean… continue reading
What will Project Runway’s designers do without Sandhya to kick around?
On Project Runway, the remaining designers made dresses for dolls that move–children, I think they were called–using product placement as inspiration, while Tim Gunn was horrified by the life-like narratives that accompanied the dolls. But the real story was that, as usual, the other designers crapped all over Sandyha’s work, though for the first time, it was deserved criticism. How mean everyone… continue reading
Quipcap: Project Runway’s rainway episode recapped quickly
Welcome to a super-fast recap of this week’s Project Runway. As the maybe-temporary title suggests, this is a new, quick, quippy recap format in which I’ll review episodes I’ve watched but don’t lend themselves to full essay-style recaps. Inspired by a conversation with several of you on Facebook, these may take different forms, from lists like this to a single image or… continue reading
