PR All Stars Season 4

A very pregnant Alyssa Milano returns as host.

The first challenge found a previous PR winner and runner up at the bottom facing elimination. I can't bring myself to identify which designer went home first. She didn't seem as committed to her aesthetic as she did in season 11.

I will reveal though that Fabio Costa is better at crisis management this time and Alexandria von Bromssen is showing a lot of growth. I'm anxious to see what Samantha Black brings to the table now that she gets to fly solo. This is a highly competitive group talent-wise. But, the stage is set for some hellacious fights.

Glad Patricia went home early. She should have gone home this early too in her own season.

This is the first time I've seen All Stars. I definitely miss Heidi, Nina and even avuncular over-praiser Tim, but they do have a pretty killer line-up of contestants. Oh God. The deaf one is back. In every interview and every runway intro, he's going to mention that he's gay and deaf and that is why he should win. Forget about the mediocre clothes, I'm GAY *AND* DEAF!

I was rather surprised that Michelle was in the bottom. I thought her suede dress was very chic and much stronger than some of the designers who were... safe. Safe? The fat chick from Who's The Boss isn't allowed to say "in"?

I can't get over how much Alyssa has improved as host. Last year I was probably one of the first posters here who wanted to vote her off the island.

Several of the female designers are hyper-competitive and self-centered, especially Michelle. Michelle has already started with the catty remarks about Kate.

Zana will have her hands full.

It would be nice to have a break from one series to the other. Not to say not going to watch it but a breather for the sake of the shows would be nice.

"I was rather surprised that Michelle was in the bottom. I thought her suede dress was very chic and much stronger than some of the designers who were... safe."

This is one of the times where I almost suspect some producer manipulation to create a touch of drama. It was clear that it was between Patricia and Kate to go home. They could have put any of the women up there to fill out the bottom three, but by putting Michelle, the winner of her season (and who was my top favorite in her season right from the start), up there it creates a bit of tension and could potentially spark some dramatic fires.

Except they REALLY hated her choice of fabric, not the design itself. And that can make all the difference.
