I'm in!

If I may be brutal, in terms of talent, Sweet Pea and Michael Costello have no business being there on any level. Elisa Jimenez is total cannon fodder in terms of televised competitions, but a sweetheart and has her own aesthetic - which puts her well above those two, that hackish, bitter hipster twat April Johnston, and the fun-to-watch but poor at reigning in self-indulgent design elements Austin Scarlett, Anthony Williams and Jerrell Scott. (Those three are great TV but, Austin seems like his gift is in something like being a high-end personal designer who takes one-off projects, Jerrell's post-PR work is just horrifying - more embellished and overdone than on the show, and Anthony seems like he should do a line like ABS by Allen Schwartz since what he does has been done to death and with more wit and elegance.)

What worries me is that this is the Make It Up To Mondo season, when designers like Mila, Rami, Kara and Gordana are also very talented and have done tremendous work, and could be great designers selling through places like Shopbop or even Net-A-Porter. For me, Gretchen wasn't the worst PR winner -- Anya is likely to hold onto that basically forever; she's a total poseur. I like Mondo, but the vitriol against Gretchen - who I believe is clueless and up her own butt but not the Antichrist - was kind of shocking to me.

Anyway. I'd love to see a good, clean show, with minimal cossetting of a single designer for an engineered, make-up victory (cough Daniel Fucking Vosovic, most overrated designer EVER on this show. Too bad Kors/Klum/Garcia can't actually finance a career for him. It still chaps me that he won the All-Stars special a few years back over Uli, Chris March or Korto.)

I fucking hate Kenley with the hellfires of the 9th circle of hell. She is so goddamn awful and her "this is what I'm doing now" look at the beginning? PROM DRESS.

I'm kind of glad Kenley's back, though -- after her post-show meltdowns, I like that she's back and fighting for something.

Mondo seems manipulative to me. THERE, I SAID IT! (deep cleansing breath).

Austin! Get it together man!

ARGH. HATE HUR.

Oh Momo, did you not see Kenley's post-show arrest where she was accused of throwing her cat at her ex, live-in boyfriend?

I'm being literal when I type 'throwing her cat.' It went down not long after the show wrapped -- I think she had some required anger management counseling.

Well, that was to be expected.

Although, I'm kind of surprised that Sweet Pea managed to squeak through with what amounted to 70's beach cover up.

Shoulda been Sweet P! She used fabric and can't tailor well - so despite not showing innovation, the garment blew. Bah! However, even before the season started, I figured Elisa would be the first designer cut; she's definitely on a different wavelength than the judges and her fellow contestants.

Shit! Why did my Tivo not record this? Is it called Project Runway All-Stars and not just Project Runway? I hate when shows do that to mess up my season pass.

snapple, yes it's Project Runway All Stars. Also, new host, new judges. I wasn't sure at first but I kind of like them so far.

I half watched it while working around the house, but I did DVR it to watch later. I didn't realize Heidi wasn't on this one. :( I miss the way she mangles "Nina Garcia".

Add me to the list of those who can.not. stand. Kenley.

And yeah, I figured Elisa would be the first to leave.

I'm just looking forward to a season of delicious snark.
