The Sam and Asha Wins

I think I figured it out. This is a way to acknowledge "Under the Gunn", and make it appear that contestants from that show are viable enough to be "All Stars" of Project Runway.

They are not.

Regarding Sam: The other gay boy designers, who are more talented, but not as pretty, are just livid and I can't say I blame them. They need to learn the lesson right now. The Sams of the World, especially the gay world, do tend to get more breaks. If you are a Kini or an Alexander, you are going to have to work harder and put out flawless work.

Asha just does not belong either. She's personable and churns out passing work, but they were hoping to keep her in long enough to at least win one challenge, so now she can be eliminated at a respectful time in the contest.
