I thought if I heard one more promo for PR Jr I would scream. I’m not interested in a bunch of Jr Divas. That, along with the commercials for the upcoming Christmas movies, almost made me change the channel. I liked all four collections, rare for me, but I think Kelly was the best and deserved the win. The whole season was a bore though. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > What a disappointing finale. I loved Ashley’s work at the beginning of the season, but she lost steam halfway through and never got it back. That finale collection was just bad – and the final look was omigodwhatthefuckthatpoormodel. Pretty much this. I wanted to see her ideas and the plus size collection based on her performance at the beginning of the season. I understood where she was going with the whole headpiece/Mexican throwback thing, but was not in love with her overall collection. A few of Ashley’s looks worked for me, but that last dress? in satin with glued on flowers? in mauve? with a cape or whatever that was? bad bridesmaid. Kelly, on the other hand, drove me crazy at the start but impressed me more and more with her work and her drive and her insane sense of humor through the season, and I fell in love with her collection. I also think her stuff could sell, which I don’t see in the other collections. It seemed current and colorful and fun. ---

> [@TruCelt](#): > > . . . > > I just absolutely hated Kelly’s stuff. It seems to me that there’s a small cadre of about 835 girls in the Brighton Beach, New Jersey area who want to wear those clothes. What market does she think she’s addressing? Then again, I’m about as dowdy as they come, and my reference for “City fashion” is the most notoriously fashion-backward city in the USA. . . well, second only to Lancaster, PA, LOL! > > And the whole _ZOMG!!_ I sewed a bunch of zippers together and made them into a trim!!! thing. Didn’t that start on Project Runway about six years ago? “I made a textile” doesn’t impress me either. It’s arts and crafts, not clothing design, and I wish the judges would stop encouraging it. If you can’t buy the materials, then you can’t turn that into a salable clothing line. No one is going to pay couture prices for you to spend a week sticking together zippers on a tank top. And bum bags?!? She should go all they way and send the models down the runway on bubble wheeled roller skates. > > . . . So, without reading any comments above, because I’m only half-way through (watched to the end of Kelly’s collection) and I have to stop to get ready for an appointment. But I just had to drop in and say “I, TruCelt, hereby rescind and denounce everything I said above about Kelly.” I actually thought the glittering only detracted, but with the big hair, and sunglasses, and the more grown-up looks walking, I loved it. It’s not my style, but it’s really good. ---

Just listened to[TLo’s podcast](http://bit.ly/1Phh1RT). Short version: they thought Kelly should have won. ---

I had forgotten what a disaster Laurie’s voice is. Can’t she hear herself? ---

Interview Tim gave about this season: > **[No One Hated This Season of Project Runway More Than Tim Gunn](https://jezebel.com/no-one-hated-this-season-of-project-runway-more-than-ti-1741490112)** > > Project Runway’s resident dad Tim Gunn is super disappointed with the show’s latest cast of designers. In fact, he says he “hated” this season. The winning designer thinks maybe some of that is Tim’s fault. ---

Shoot!! I forgot the reunion was tonight at 8. Maybe I can find it on demand if I have literally nothing else to watch in the world. So little drama! ---

I’ve almost forgotten – Is she the petite black woman who made the underwear with the seam down the front? If so, she said we haven’t seen (or presumably, heard) the last of her! :eek: ---

I pretty much like Kelly – wouldn’t be caught dead in her clothes, but like her as a person – but what the everloving fuck was she talking about, it was up to Ashley to make it clear that Kelly wasn’t being a mean girl? Wouldn’t the better way to make that clear be to _not act like one in the first place_? ---

I caught up on Junior last night on demand and then the new show and I have to say, I didn’t find them divaish, but more like giggly teenagers as they should be. Plus, in the unconventional challenge, they did better than the adult contestants have! I will keep watching. I caught the reunion show on demand too and yes, Laurie is very nasal and whiny - “I’m talking!” Funny to see everyone chime in on the Mean Girls issue. And that Duncan! What ear and eye candy. It’s too bad he didn’t stick around longer! Is it just me or did he get exponentially cuter between then and now? Bring back Duncan! 🙂 ---

The kid designers on project runway junior are so much nicer than the adult designers. ---

Of course I felt Very Old when Tim mentioned that an outfit looked very “Gilligan’s Island” and she had no idea what that meant. ---
