Project Runway All Stars S5

It took them 6 episodes to finally eliminate you-know-who from Fort Lauderdale. I mean, really?

And to everyone's surprise, season 12's p.i.t.a Ken has somehow become a legitimate designer.

And to everyone's surprise, season 12's p.i.t.a Ken has somehow become a legitimate designer.

Sam is the one I'd like to see go.

Sam is adorable. He's a good designer. He's just not very confident in his own abilities, hence asking for everybody else's opinion and making them dislike him. I think the other designers are too hard on him. If they think Sam's designs aren't his own, they should stop offering help.

It was a bit jarring to see Ken smile. He always looks like he's offended by everything.

javero said: "That said, the All-Stars competition is so rigged. I agree with the most recent decision but the setup was so transparent. As soon as Zanna said "you've only been safe so far...", I instantly starting guessing which designer would be sacrificed for the greater good. By now, the one-trick ponies are sort of obvious."



Is that rigged or just that they already know the outcome they are building to with each story by the time they are editing it? They probably have enough footage and contestant sass to point it in any direction they want... no?

Kini has really turned into a bitter bitch and he needs to focus on his own work rather than festering on petty nonsense. Too bad Kini apparently couldn't let it go and his claim of "helping" Sam with his look, turned into "making the top" to (according to online gossip about a contestant Twitter bitchfest against Sam during the airing of the episode) making Sam's entire look. 1) It was a team challenge, so making part of a teammate's look, whether you get credit for it on the runway or not, is not unique to the show or most contestants who have participated on it. 2) Kini agreed to construct part of Sam's look for the sake of the team. 3) If Kini wanted credit for it during judging, he could have said something. 4) The producers would never have let anyone get away with presenting a look on the runway as their own that another contestant had entirely made.



Meanwhile, I hated Kini's denim dress/butterfly costume thing (why would someone say they could picture a girl wearing it to a tea party if you can't sit down in it?) and Layana's dress was actually one of my favorites.

Kini has become the evil step sister this season. Even if he produces anything beautiful, I have completely lost respect for him.

I'm caught up now. After Ep 10 they're down to 5 designers. The remaining ladies are top-flight designers with signature aesthetics. I'm interested in seeing their lines. The remaining guys are the bitchiest men I've ever witnessed on TV along with the Russian designer Sandro Masmanidi from one of the regular seasons. Next week the work room will not be big enough for the three of them. Neither is as talented as he's convinced himself that he is. Thank goodness Zac Posen called out one of them in Ep 10.

Guess what Sandro's been up to lately? I promise it's juicy. Deets right here.

Kini's pants were ATROCIOUS. I don't know what the judges saw in them other than a Kardashian costume. And I don't know why Ken wasn't sent home. Boring and poorly made. The pants were not only too long, but the camera clearly showed that they were coming apart around the hem. If Sam had removed the beauty queen sash, I think he might have won this week.

Because they were desperate to keep someone on camera who looks as if they are perpetually smelling dead shrimp rotting in the summer sun?

Am I the only one who thought that this getup from Asha was fugly and ill-fitting?

Am I misremembering or was he nice and fun the first time around? Not sure what happened or what prompted his deal with Sam, but it's getting pretty tired. He's hitting RuPaul Drag Race levels of shade. If you want to hate on Sam, maybe make nicer clothes than him? Easier path.

He's hitting RuPaul Drag Race levels of shade

And design.
