I was not a fan of Sandhya's designs. I think Tim nailed it when he made his comments in the work room. But I do think the final nail in her coffin was her response back to each judge. Made for a good episode though. :)

Oh, Sandhya. Despite what you said in your final moments, THIS Indian wasn't cheering for you. I know it's probably a defense mechanism, but the way she smiles broadly through everything feels slightly sociopathic. And, yes, her unwillingness to take even the smallest critical feedback on her almost always terrible designs was so off-putting. Good riddance. I'm hoping to see Sean, Amanda and Kini in the finale now.
#153

Carwash.

In my experience teaching writing workshops, there is NOTHING worse than that condescending "thank you for sharing but I think I'm a genius" response to criticism. I never minded any student disagreeing thoughtfully and describing what they were trying to accomplish, but the condescending dismissal is the worst.

I'd have sent Sandya home the first time she tried it. (And, yes, I realize it's a defense mechanism and probably not intended to insult; too bad, I didn't make you take my course/sign up for the contest.)

Anyone else think we will see Sandhya brought back in another season?

^^^ Nothing would surprise me. She is at least as memorable as Amanda.

Of course, she may have burned her bridges with the judges...

Carwash.

If there's another season of PR All-Stars, I could certainly see her cast for both her unique design aesthetic and her never-let-them-see-you-sweat posturing for the camera. She's a lightning rod for drama.

Carwash.

Is no one talking about last night's PR because it was so f*cking boring that I was longing for an episode of The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross to perk up my evening???

Jesus H. I actually liked Emily's ruffled shoulders...it was her saloon girl skirt that made me a little twitchy. Korina's leather jacket was kinda nice, I guess...but that pleated dress underneath? Zac Posen needs to stop with 'Oh...that's the pleats are so difficult' bullsh*t. Who cares? I looked stupid. Kini's Boot-Scootin Hee-Haw 'first date' outfit made me want to punch an Aggie boy in the nuts.

Char's peplum horror was just aggressively offensive. Amanda's was TERRIBLY made. And Andrew's was...profound in its ugliness.

After having seen the final collections of the designers, I feel like this is a big ol' WHO CARES??? of a season.
#158

Carwash.

I think we're the last two watching this season. I totally agree with everything you said. I just don't care anymore, but I can't stop watching.
#159

Carwash.

I feel like I need to see it through to the end, no matter how hideously boring. I just can't believe I dvr'd this instead of How To Get Away With Murder. Thank GOD for Hulu Plus.
#160

Carwash.

I was flipping back and forth for the first half hour and got the ameba print fiasco confused with the aspirin trial.

I guess I really keep coming back for Tim Gunn this season. He's finally letting loose.
#161

Carwash.

Don't you just want to see him burn the f*cker down and then salt there earth so nothing can ever grow there again?

They're not even bothering with reality now. When Sean finally 'found' his model, they didn't even bother editing around the very obvious mic pack.
#162

Carwash.

Let's just be fair to last nights episode and say that WHENEVER they do a "real person" fashion challenge, it's always a boring episode.

And I have a feeling these people are going to just be horrible to Char from now on because they gave her those 10 minutes. And as far as that goes, I agree that in this instance, it was the right thing to do. It would have just been wrong to send that poor (normal) woman down a runway with her cooch hanging out for something that (if I'm not mistaken) was her fault. But I also think Tim should have given everyone else that 10 minutes as well to do anything else they needed to do. That would have been fair.
#163

Carwash.

^ Agreed. I don't know why he didn't just say, 'You all have 10 extra minutes to do something.' That was silly, manufactured drama that won't pay off in the end.

The 'normal' people challenges used to have some spicy stuff in them: Jeffrey being a total c*nt to Angela's mom; that sassy girl who gave Christian sh*t for her prom dress; same season, the designers having to use the old clothes of women who recently lost a lot of weight, which was kind of moving. Plus, they used to let the designers bitch about their 'models' not having the correct body types. This was just UGH and BLAH.
#164

Carwash.

Given that the challenge was a "makeover", Kini's was actually my favorite (though the skirt could have been a titch shorter). Korina's was very nice, but I didn't feel like it gave a ballerina a makeover. I've known many professional primas in the past and that's precisely what you'd expect them to wear when going out, ESPECIALLY if they're from the Ukraine or Russia. Alexander deserved to go home for that fugly ill-fitting crop-top highlighting the underboob, but Char's days of bad 80s peplum are numbered. She squeaked by despite the zipper fiasco simply because her majorette costume fit and was...you know...sewn. As for the flamenco dress, it just needed some editing. The ruffles were WAY too big and I actually liked the bottom, but it was just a bit too much. Excellent choice in fabric, though. A huge step-up from the bipolar Russian immigrant American Girl. That outfit was both manic and depressing, though the girl modeling it was hilariously uninhibited.

Carwash.

I'm still watching but Tim's botched save has ruined it for me this season. I was hoping for a double elimination last night. When Amanda remarked that she did't make this far in her previous season, that spoke volumes to me about the design skills of the current crop. Poor Char's sense of personal style is more impressive than her design aesthetic. And Alexander's first stab at it was beyond butt ugly. I'm so happy that Tim is finally able to let loose. At this point, I'm not really interested in seeing what any of the remaining designers present at fashion week.

That wasn't apparent in that HIDEOUS skirt she wore to judging. It looked like it had been shredded while digging it out of the dumpster and those pockets were like hideous skin flaps from a terrible thigh injury. It was uglier than anything on the runway. The boyfriend and I did simultaneous full-body cringes when we saw it.

'I'm still watching but Tim's botched save has ruined it for me this season.'

Not me. I HATE the Tim Gunn Save. If it had to be used, I'm glad he used it early and wastefully. I have no problem with anyone else who was sent home for their dreadful designs over the past few weeks. I don't have much love for Char as a designer, though I like her personality. If they never have the Tim Gunn Save again, I'd be terribly happy.
#168

Carwash.

Personally, I would have preferred the Tim Gunn save back during the height of the Nina Kors coalition. Then perhaps we wouldn't have had the trauma of the Gretch winning.

OH GOD! The INSANITY of that still kills me. OVER MONDO. OVER MONDO.
#170

Carwash.

I'm still watching as well. I'm always a day or two behind in watching.

I also found it boring. Char should have gone home. It is true how else is anyone going to answer with cameras on you and in a group. Go ahead give her 10 minutes. That being said I am also tired of Korine.

Not the best of seasons.

She won for HANGING BASKETS, Robbie! HANGING. BASKETS. I was getting increasingly frustrated with Nina Kors, but after that, they were dead to me.

I kinda miss Michael Kors. There, I said it. And, yes, this ep was duller than dishwater.
#173

Carwash.

You may be a hipster, Jane, but I think Tim is right that there is no color logic to the pieces Sandhya puts together. The busy prints are definitely Indian in feeling, but I don't remember thinking Indian saris actually clash with themselves.

But re your remark, I can easily see putting a Sandhaya top with a more subdued bottom (yes, I'm still talking about clothes) or vice versa.

What Was This Thread About Again?

@MisterMatt

Please don't be weirded out by this but I had an encounter this past weekend that made me think of you. I attended an aunt's funeral deep in the Old South on Sat. Inside the chapel was a menagerie of men in ill-fitting suits and curvaceous women channeling Joan Collins circa 1980 with over-sized hats, shoulder pads, and fitted skirts. But the grand event was the eulogy delivered by a 70-something socialite whom I hadn't seen in over 30 yrs. Time has not been so kind to her but she's still quite the trend-setter style wise. Mama was rocking a Sandyha-special in all the primary colors with some gold-platted harness-like contraption in 2 courses running the length of the dress in both the front and back. Despite being heavy-hearted I found some respite from grief after hearing the imaginary voices of MisterMatt and his companion in my head going..."Dear Lord, who is grandma's stylist" to which the other responded..."No honey, who is her colorist, bless her heart". Real talk!

Man, that Korina is one nasty, immature little bitch. And looking at the scenes for next week, she proves it even more. Good riddance to trash like that.
