I'm a fan of Christopher Palu but after his mentioning he was bullied as a child for being gay at every opportunity he got, I rolled my eyes. Even Isaac said something like "please, everyone was bullied."

Korto - I remember on her first season, she was very humble, quiet, and nice. Now she has an attitude.

Elena - I think she's an emotional mess and always crying but her piece last night blew me away.

Jane,

I'm struggling to stay interested this season. Can't put my finger on it, but there's a missing element. Don't mean to diss Alyssa but I'd prefer a supermodel-host.

I remember Christopher from his season; dude is extremely talented. Seems that he's lost a lot of weight since then. I missed Korto's season so I'm not familiar with her work in the past. I find her attitude somewhat annoying. Someone informed me offline that she was her season's runner-up which I had a tough time imagining based solely on what she's sent down the runway. But then again last week's offed designer Melisa was her season's runner-up if memory serves.

After Victor's early miscue, he seems to be hell bent on going for the gold. Christopher, Seth Aaron, Irina, and Victor seem to be the most consistent. Right now, only their work really interests me. I was over the drama queen Elena the moment I learned she was casted.

Irina Shabayeva is hella sexy! However, I read that she's quite the diva off camera. Details via the link.

I think the trouble with All-Stars is that these are people who already know how to play the game. The personalities seems far more calculated than their first time at the rodeo. It's somewhat interesting to see where their aesthetic has gone from their previous work...but that's about it. I mean...I watch it. But I don't feel invested.

Javero, I agree re the host-since when is Alyssa anyone? This all-star season isn't as good as the regular Pro. Runway, but I still like it.

ps Michael Urie - LOVE LOVE LOVE that guy. And he's nice.

I don't understand why they brought back winners.

I can NOT believe that I came on this board of all places and wrote the word "casted"

I'm too burned out from a project at work to edit.

I don't think it's calculated. I think they realized, much like the All Stars season that Mondo won, that the judges are already favoring certain designers. Victor, Chris, and Elena are getting effusive praise from the judges and the mentor at every stage of a challenge.

I watch, too, but without a lot of interest. I think it's often less compelling because many of them watched their season and understood how they appeared, and most don't want to repeat that. (Heck, Wendy Pepper was a ****cat in the first all stars)

I HATE when the judges chicken out and don't end up eliminating someone. Based on this past week PLUS the last 2 challenges, they should have sent Jeffry home.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

"I HATE when the judges chicken out and don't end up eliminating someone."

To me, it appears that the panel of judges is going out of its way to avoid eliminating a regular season winner, mainly Jeffry. I mean it's bound to happen at some point so why delay the inevitable. From my vantage point neither PR winner in the current field is exactly a viewer magnet.

I like to see where a few PR finalists are at stylistically and artistically a few years removed from PR. The three PR finalists I'd most like to see cast in the future are Daniel Vosovic, Kara Saun, and Laura Bennett.

The question I have is it in her contract that whoever is hosting has to say 'The Gorgeous Georgina Chapman' Or does her husband make them say it?

So far I have found this series a little boring.
