Yeah, if they weren't doing All-Stars next, this would definitely be the last season of PR for me.

not cool WoA. Not cool.

I just watched and have no idea what this is a reference to.

Because books.

Oh yeah, I didn't get the WoA comment, either.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Does it seem like there are more producer shenanigans on Lifetme than when it was on Bravo? (It seems that way to me.)

It seems that way to me, too. It's a different production company as well as a different network, right? Maybe they are just less subtle about it.

I'm mostly not so mad about the fix because, as sumi said back in August

If a dull, fugly design collection wins? It probably won't have been at the cost of an exciting and beautiful collection

I'm mad she won, quite frankly. She should have been eliminated in last week's episode.

Yes, she should have. And I loved when Heidi admitted it and said that the judges were really worried after seeing her looks.

I liked her final collection, though. Heidi called her out again about how her collection didn't require the sewing skills.

Oh, HELL yeah. I will probably watch the first ep next season, and if it doesn't grab me, I'm out.

Oh my comment wasn't intended to be harsh, but I'm mad they got rid of Leon. I liked him a lot.

Oh, agreed. Especially when there was so much other crap.

Really, after the promising first episode, I'm quite disappointed in Work of Art. I hope it picks up.

It seems that way to me, too. It's a different production company as well as a different network, right? Maybe they are just less subtle about it.

The new production team is Bunim/Murray, also producers of The Real World, and it shows. PR is so much about the drama and the story arc and casting for specific "types". Sigh. They always had drama because fashion peeps are dramatic, no? But the show didn't use to be primarily about the drama.

I didn't hate Anya's collection, but I thought Uli did it first and did it better and she didn't get the win. Then again, she wasn't Miss Trinidad. I enjoyed both Viktor and Kim's collections more than Anya's. (Hated Josh's collection - the neoprene green shorts were ghastly) But you could see her win coming a mile away, so I couldn't get all het up about it. I'm planning to watch All Stars because I really like some of the designers they are bringing back, but after that, I'm probably out.

FWIW, Here is Uli's collection from 2006:
