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

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

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

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

Didn't Irina's dress look like something Jasmine from Aladdin would wear? #projectrunwayseason6

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

But. I guess next season being back in NY with 3 consistant judges will let us know if it is Lifetime to blame. #projectrunwayseason6

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

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

I was going to apply to PR next year but now that it's in L.A. and at FIDM I'm seriously re-thinking it.
When the mayor said that L.A. is a center for fashion I laughed! L.A. fashion week is a joke! You notice they still go to New York fashion week. #projectrunwayseason6

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

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
