I cannot BELIEVE Gordana's lovely dress got her sent home while Irina's sack of green rags got her to fashion week.

And yeah, Christopher, no one thinks of you as the "wacky" designer - you're the "super mediocre" one. Well, one of many. #projectrunwayseason6

I don't see why people are blaming Lifetime when the same exact production companies and judges were involved in the making of the show as when it was on Bravo. Lifetime wanted a product that was already successful - why would they change it?

That being said, I think they opted to cast this year with more amateurs, a la the first season, so the money means something when they win. Alas, that means they miss out on talent.

I thought this season was more entertaining than the last. I am hard pressed to remember who made it to the final three or why I cared. #projectrunwayseason6

@Sweet Panda Love: Kenley, Leanne and Korto with Leanne coming out on top and Kenley trying to pretend like living on a tugboat was an excuse for assy behavior and poor Jerrell winning the last challenge and then not getting to show because the judges decided to do a SURPRISE! final challenge that he lost to Kenley who ripped off her dress from an actual designer. Season before that would be Christian Siriano beating Jillian, Chris, and the Jewish guy whose name escapes me but who draped everything with Chris March losing out on getting to show at Bryant Park in the last episode. Before that was Jeffrey "Neck Tattoo" Sebilia beating Uli and Laura Bennett.

This season, I've been hard pressed to tell the designers apart until the last few weeks.

And Lifetime hired Bunham/Murray to replace The Magical Elves as production company. BM you might remember as the people behind The Real World. So it wasn't the same production company, which is why everyone is so pissy. #projectrunwayseason6

The Getty Center is one of my favorite places on earth. I couldn't believe that given the time and the amount of inspiration swirling all over that place, these were the final looks we were given. This is the worst season ever and I almost feel they would have been better off scrapping it all together. The clothes are horrible, designers boring and the judges just arent there.

When they were panning around the panel last night, the bored looks on Cindy, Cynthia and Nina's faces were priceless. Snooze! #projectrunwayseason6

Uuuuuugggh. Agreed, worst season ever. None of them deserve to be there. Gordana had the best dress on the runway. The judging has just made no sense this season.

@saralegal21: Honestly, I think they probably should be judged on their collective body of work, especially in the final challenge, but the judging has been all over the place and it's hard to be consistent when Nina and Michael Kors have been gone for most of the season.

I stopped watching when Louise was kicked off - to be honest, she was pretty much the only reason I watched this year, because I love her old Dollflesh designs and her Etsy store.

It really feels like this season doesn't reach the same level of previous ones (although I still think seasons one and two were the best). #projectrunwayseason6

The designs have been meh this year, but it could have been a great season if certain contestants weren't given the boot so early, so ultimately I think the judging (mostly the lack of consistency in judging) is to blame for the overall crappiness of things.

Every time the judges talked about his work I felt like I had been transported to Opposite Land. #projectrunwayseason6

@hortense: i was thinking the EXACT same thing this morning while doing dishes (great time for thinking). Michael Kors said it best earlier this season, "These are clothes, not fashion." They kicked the two space-cases off in the first two episodes who were pushing to the edge, and left behind people who make clothing, not fashion. Herein is the difference between Lifetime and Bravo. Bravo is Christian, is Paris, is always pushing that edge. Lifetime is Carol Hannah, LA, and safe (but trying to push danger with all their made-for-tv-movies about women overcoming odds and whatever).

They kicked off every single person who took a chance (or at least threw them into the bottom), kept and rewarded the people who played safe... and at the same time berated those safe-players for not taking chances! i blame some of this on the judging; since we only had Kors and Nina off-and-on throughout this snorefest of a season, there was no consistency in the scores which threw everything off (does this mean we can assume Heidi is also off-kilter on a regular basis and it's Nina and Kors who bring her down to earth?). But i also blame the shift in networks; Lifetime wanted the drama but no risks; Christian and Chris would have never made it onto Lifetime's PR. No dresses made of corn husks or twizlers, or human hair. There was NO couture challenge this season!!

and it's because the contestants this season can't handle couture. It's fashion. Which Lifetime can't handle. It's almost like this season should have been on DIY; See? You too can make amazing fashion at home by just going to your favourite fabric store and whipping up something inspired by the art at your local gallery. That's not what we want on PR. The drama shouldn't just be in the workroom air, it needs to show through in the garments. #projectrunwayseason6

Tim looked exhausted and pissed throughout the whole episode. You really got the sense that he could care less who won, and was just sort of faking enthusiasm and reading his lines. The LA decision was such a terrible idea. It just made production that much more stressful, on top of all the legal problems (with sponsors dropping out due to conflicts with Bravo), and then the travel schedule for the judges. There was no good reason to do it (except I suppose to save money -- but how much could they have saved? They had to build a new set out there, create a fake West Coast Mood, and bring in a shitload of guest judges to replace Nina and MK.)

I just want my old Tim, Nina, and MK back. I don't think these designers are awful. But the judging was disjointed and inconsistent, Tim was off his game, and the challenges produced boring, predictable designs. Boo. #projectrunwayseason6

@dj alicat: PR is returning to New York for the next season.

I actually think it's perfectly fair to call LA a major fashion capital. There is a lot of fashion in LA, and plenty of great designers start out there. But the home of the industry in the U.S. is NY, and LA will always be more commercial and less experimental because of the influence of Hollywood (which is afraid to get to avant garde for the masses).

But it's a mistake to constantly push this idea that LA is "as good" as NY for PR. All it does is serve to illustrate the many ways in which it is not. NY and Parsons are just a better natural fit for the show, and they should never have tried to make such a major shift at the same time as they changed networks and, most importantly, production companies. Bunim/Murray clearly doesn't quite have a handle on the show yet, and the LA setting has only served to exacerbate that. #projectrunwayseason6

Althea was promoting herself as a "risk taker" but that oufit has the exact same silhouette as her most celebrated prior effort, the suiting separates she made for model to wear to an industry party. High-waist skirt, sack-like floppy top. She's also done that pleating and rectangular patternmaking at least twice before.

Cindy Crawford's comment about not seeing the French bed in Carol Hannah's garment reminded my of why I hate having model judges in a challenge like this. If she had used blue brocade you would have shouted "too literal!" so why not just see the inspiration. Gold, satin, draping lines, cord. I wish they had gotten a famous artist to judge instead.

Even with Christopher's occasional missteps in fabric choice, his collection would have been 10,000 times more interesting than the ones we're likely to get. Plus, he would have had more time to experiment and make sure he had the right materials. Gordana's would have been impeccable.

Was anyone else really irked about Nina's continuous "we haven't SEEN Gordana yet". Yes you have, you just didn't like what you saw. She showed you who she is. Understated, amazing craftsmanship, steely colors, intent and resolve. Not everyone has to be a Christian Siriano to be a good designer! Her dress was lovely and I felt like they didn't give her enough credit, especially with how she created the brushstrokes from fabric just as she wanted. #projectrunwayseason6
