I can see how the other two could be considered boring, but that is probably the judges fault for asking for "timeless" when it seems that wasn't what the really wanted. I was fine with the way the quick challenge at the end went.

I was just annoyed that they decided to have the quick challenge at the end. Seemed very contrived.

Because books.
I loved Dmitri's dress, but I would have taken off the sparklies -- that's what made it look cheap to me.
I love Sonji, but that dress was an '80s nightmare.

I always wonder about the backstage details of shows like The Great British Bake off. I found an article that describes how they shoot their episodes.

I was disappointed with the Project Runway All-Stars results. I liked the other two better. Do they usually do finale of this show outside of Fashion Week and with so little time to make the collection? I honestly can't remember. I really miss the early seasons of the original show where the designers had tons of time to create their collections, I think there was a real different in quality.

Haven't seen last night's finale yet, but I have always found the All Star finales wanting compared to the regular ones. They have so little time and it's not fashion week - I think the regular season finale is still during fashion week although I can't confidently back that up. The last regular season finale had great runways, though - Sean and Kini and Amanda and whatshername from Detroit (who I liked but whose collection was just not in the same league)

The All-Stars always have less time, although it's never been four days, I'm pretty sure. It seemed insane.
I didn't love any of the collections. Dmitry's stuff all looked really weirdly broad. The whole thing was disappointing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I started getting angry when they said something about having seen Sonjia's stuff before, since Dmitry did that same old cutout thing he loves! And I didn't get how the collection went together at all.
