The early seasons are on roku tv and prime!!!!!!!! Gone are the days of me ordering early seasons on ebay lol
I think this might be the best season in terms of the cast! P.s. I’ve watched every season overrr. What do you guys reckon? (Lowkey trying to decide the next season to binge for the 100th time 🤣🙈).
I was reading the Tony noms and saw he was nominated for Best Costume Design of a Play for “Purlie Victorious.” He’s been nominated several times and I never realized. I was just watching him on some PR reruns and it makes me happy to see he’s been so successful.
😭😂 Oh really, Tim! You don’t say… 🤣
I'm watching through season 12 (just finished the super fan episode), and am wondering how the hell did Ken make it through as long as he did without being kicked off the show?
Not for his work, but just from the anger issues! There was a WHOLLLLLE bunch of divas on the show that season (Sandro being the biggest one), but how did Ken not get kicked off for his extreme anger issues? I mean, he threatened other designers, for one thing!!!
And they just let him stay on the show as long as they did? Boggled my freaking mind.
I’m going through a rewatch on Peacock but also put PR on the Roku channel when I need background noise. I find the contrast between the how the judges view the very similar dresses so differently. Anyone else feel like they are similar?
New to PR! Decided to be random and watched S7 first, which I loved. Now I am on S8 and except for a few designers, I do not see talent at all. So many bad design choices (how did Peaches get on the show?) Also, I am finding it really hard to like most of the designers.
Just watched that scene and found it kind of odd that he made it so secretive by taking him into the other room, where in previous seasons he just told them right in the work room. No big deal, just curious.
I've been rewatching from the beginning and I still don't know what is on the scorecards. What are the criteria? Is it a 1-5 scale, 1-10? I'm just so curious
I haven't been able to find them in years and assume they're lost at this point but Tim Gunn had a podcast on apple music around Season 3 and it had so much personality and behind the scenes stories. I had them on an external for years but it corrupted over time.
Does anyone know if they exist anymore in some capacity or did that get lost in the shift with Bravo etc?
Spoiler for Season 15 finale
Peacock’s subtitling is… interesting.
I hate Ven from S10. HAAAAATTTEEE him. He's so smug, he thinks he doesn't do any wrong and that his looks are all flawless.
The L'Oréal challenge? Don't even get me started. I wanted to slap him so bad.
PLEASE tell me there are other people here who dislike him just as much as I do.
Kovid absolutely warms my heart. He’s so sincere, kind and quirky all at the same time. ❤️🤗🕺🏻He’s full of joy and exudes happiness. I forgot how much I enjoyed this season despite Brandon and Elaine.
I know season 8 was super polarizing with Gretchen's win, but what in the hell was s9 even?
It seemed SO forced, and so contrived for Anya to win. It even showed close-ups in the first couple episodes at how horribly bad her sewing knowledge and ability was.
I don't know how to sew with a machine as well(hand sewing/mending is where I shine), but really could of made better garments then she was sending out. Plus, wasn't she sewing her model in a lot of her clothes right before the runway walk during the episodes?
The judges acted like she could do no wrong!
The attitudes were really over the top as well this season. I know that some people who are on this show tend to be divas at times, but GOOD LORD.
Plus, the 5 million team challenges. I remember previous seasons had one or two, but there were only 2? maybe 3 challenges that weren't team challenges in season 9. It got MEGA annoying.
I'd take watching season 8 over and over again over watching season 9 ever again.
I'm rewatching season 20 and I wanted to discuss Korto's elimination and what I think happened with her.
In episode 10 when Kara Sun was sent home, Korto was definitely outspoken about Sun's elimination. I think this was a turning point for her. The judges critiques seemed very inconsistent this season, and to me they were lacking true criticism of the contestants designs. At times (in my opinion) it felt like judges were critiquing the designers based off their emotions, ruining the integrity of the show.
Overall the designers seemed more unenthusiastic with each challenge. They weren't really getting much constructive feedback, and where one designer would be ridiculed for making an item, another designer would be celebrated for making a similar item.
I'm not sure some of the contestants felt respected as fellow designers in the industry because of the judging.
Korto could sense the judges didn't like her. I can't prove this but I think she knew she couldn't win after Kara Sun's elimination because Kara was sent home based on a design that was her own signature. Not to mention Korto's look was called "safe" because she didn't do an extravagant gown or train unlike everyone else.
At the end of the day the judges are entitled to their opinions, i mean this is a contest after all. But to invite a bunch of established/successful designers to the competition, and expect them not to defend themselves when they feel their work is being disrespected is... childish and unrealistic. TBH Korto was not in my bottom three for the double bind challenge I had Brittney, Ramey, and Bishme. But nonetheless I'm happy that Bishme won, however I could tell how the judges and felt about certain contestants most times...in fact the judging soured this whole season for me making it the most dreadful part of each episode in my opinion.
I say all of that to say this....Korto was right.
If anyone has a gif of Joshua saying this send it my way. I find myself wanting to send it often in everyday life.
Santino was good for tv; what other designers weren’t eliminated because of what they would do for ratings?
AS4: My feelings about all of the contestants still stand, but I liked Dmitry slightly less. Justin is still one of my favorites! I would have been fine with any of the top 3 winning.
S13: Kini my beloved! I didn't like Mitchell much, but he got funnier in AS. I liked Sandhya at first, but my opinion soured as time went on. My post about Korina still stands. I wish Kini had won, buy Sean had a good collection.
AS5: Baffled when they brought back Daniel Franco. I haven't watched Under the Gunn, it's hard as hell to find without Amazon Prime. I hated Sam and that he hated my boy Kini. Ken got redeemed! I'm glad he chilled out a bit between seasons. Of course Dom won. I'm not mad, I love her designs, but I think they need to stop bringing back previous winners.
So I’m rewatching season 13 and this season is a perfect example of what I call “The Curse of Green.” It seems like almost all the designers in every season have a hard time make garments using green fabric (the color not the environmental impact). Korina, for instance ends up in the bottom with her green red carpet look for Heidi Klum. Alexander gets eliminated for his seriously ugly green look for the makeover challenge. Korina even goes and buys a second green fabric that is just the most lackluster color that she describes as emerald green, which is definitely not emerald green. I’ve noticed this problem on other seasons too, like Ken Lawrence’s green dress in the makeover challenge in his season. Tu from season 11 on another makeover challenge. The only designer I remember being good with green was Michelle from season 11.
The other color that seems hard to handle is orange.
As many may know, the streaming services with ads are heavily edited, like Tubi, and others.
Amazon Prime has all the seasons, but only S8-20 are unedited and they are not free. The rest with ads are heavily edited.
I suppose BravoTv is the same since they don't own all the seasons.
I don't know what type of episode Peacock has.
Does anyone know which one is streaming the unedited episodes of all seasons?
sorry if this has been discussed before lol but i haven’t seen it brought up
i’m rewatching from the start and i’m currently at season 8. Costello just got eliminated and had his dramatic sob session.
but, there were no tears. literally not one discernible tear. am i crazy? anybody remember this lol?
So I've been marathon rewatching on Prime, and I just got toward the end of season 5. Finished the new grad makeover challenge (episode 10), went to the next episode... and the "last time" segment at the top is recapping the infamous Kenley hip-hop challenge and they're talking about how they've made it to the top 4! The actual episode 11 is completely missing.
Did they remove it because it now reads somehow offensive, like the Michael Jackson episode of the Simpsons? I can kinda see that, based on what I remember about the challenge 😂 And is it available anywhere else? My curiosity is piqued now!
Finished project runway as of yesterday, already saw next in fashion, I am so SAD I need a new competition show!! Ideally fashion!! Any suggestions?
I’m watching season 17 on Netflix and I just finished episode 6. I’m so conflicted with the judge’s decision… As a woman, gamer and a fashion designer I really think the winner of that challenge should’ve been Garo. He’s design and construction are amazing. Mimi also makes the whole look even better. (No hate to Hester, her design was also extremely beautiful and I also loved Tessa’s design) my main issue was Nina’s comment on Garo’s design. “Nina being concerned about the S&M message” and saying that is not the definition of a powerful woman.
I really think it wasn’t that deep. When I saw Garo’s design I instantly thought of Bayonetta. That’s something I would definitely wear (I’m alternative, I’d wear that any day of the week) or cosplay. I love being a sexy character, video games are literally made up, a fantasy. If I want to shoot guns in uniform I would’ve sign up for the army. Mimi looked so confident and beautiful, when I heard Nina’s comment I instantly felt like was being ridiculous and didn’t know what she was talking about. A dominatrix is also a powerful and confident woman. You can be a powerful woman in so many different ways.
I'd like to start off by saying, please no spoilers for future seasons (even who will be on All Stars) Thank you bbs
*As soon as Kelli said her design style is a mix between Betsey Johnson and Vivienne Westwood, I knew she was going to be a fave. Her elimination was bs and they just wanted Blayne bc he's good TV.
*I went into the Finale rooting for Korto, but I was also happy with Leanne's win! She slayed all season and her final collection was mesmerizing.
*Jerry was kind of robbed.... his design was weird, but showed potential. Stella literally cut up a trash bag. Stella is so funny though so I'm low key glad she stayed.
*I loved the model challenge. I feel like we hardly ever get to know the models so I thought it was fun
*Stella is so funny, but she's making liking black and leather her entire personality.... also Blayne making tanning his entire personality
*Good grief every time Korto was on my screen I just couldn't get over how gorgeous she is.
*A lot of the designers have GREAT one liners
*LOVE THE DRAG QUEEN EPISODE!!! I was smiling the whole time. Can we replace the models with these Queens every week?!
*Kenley's attitude STUNK when her model dropped out. Not even concerned if she was okay, low key body shaming and not being kind with her new model. I understand being upset, but she doesn't even know why Shannon needed to drop out.
*These designers are not afraid to talk back to the judges this season and it is hilarious
*Tbh Kenley getting defensive got annoying, but I think the other designers starting to give her the silent treatment was overkill
*I think this is the first finale that I LOVED all 3 of the final collections

SO (sew!) I found a new fashion competition show I just have to share!
Season 1 (2023) - Full Ep 1 - On Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIMTLWoMcDk
The rest of the season is on Amazon Prime - tho you do have to sign up for something called OutTV - BUT you can get a free trial of it if you already have Prime. It's $3.99/month after that - all LGBQT+ programming.
Season 2 (2024) - Full Premiere Ep 1 - On Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wqaTUnZYyo
Not sure if those drop on YT weekly or what, that episode was posted 6 days ago. Let's hope we can just watch them free weekly but I'll be keeping up on OutTV - which sounds like a fun new channel to check out anyway.
They do wig design, fun fabrics, and the designer/queens are so full of personality. The outfit design is my favorite part of Drag Race so I'm living for this find. Happy watching loves! :D
I'm currently watching the S12 Finale on Tubi. I am so annoyed that we didn't get to see all 10 looks from the designers walk down the runway! I know they edit the original episodes down to make them fit in one hour, but I feel like they could've cut something other than the final collection looks (you know, the whole point of the show). I don't remember it being like that when it originally aired. Anyone else notice this?
