Well that was disappointing.
I hope Mondo and Anya are happy now. I knew Natalia would be going home as soon as she said she should go. I wonder if Asha feels any shame now for the way she treated Natalia.
shareI hope the whole show is happy for promoting bullying. I'm so disgusted I can barely find words.
shareglad i'm not imagining things. the scapegoating, disrespecting, and mob-mentality ganging up on Natalia was obnoxious.
really thought i'd like this show even though it's not 'the real' PR, cause i thought anything with Tim would just be worth it no matter what. but each week i am less and less interested, and am starting to actually now be pro-actively irritated by the whole thing.
I too no longer enjoy watching Tim and the other evil step sisters. A mentor trains and assists. A mentor is not vindictive, jealous, nasty, azzhole. Nick is the only "true" mentor on this dumb reality show. Tim is now just a nervous Nellie, too uptight to offer any kind of help. He needs to retire.

Rod...Don't be too hard on Tim. Several seasons ago, Tim had a blog on the Main PROJECT RUNWAY (Lifetime) site. (It was the season with Ivy Higa) He spoke about each episode. He was, as always, TIM, so the blog was dignified and polite. It was also HONEST, in that he alluded to editing to make the episodes more exciting, and how they liked controversial "back stories" for the designers.
Make no mistake...there were "controversial" designers during the BRAVO years: Laura Bennett and Jeffrey Sebelia were as obnoxious and "mouthy" as they come. They were also DESIGNERS and ARTISTS, whose work could grace the METROPOLITAN.
NOW, it's more important to have a "Mentor", whose claim to fame is muu-muus, and being caught on video "playing the pink piccolo".
Tim's wonderful blog was removed after 4 entries and he was essentially muzzled. He still is. Thank G-D, he's there, for TIM GUNN is the only thing left of "Quality, Taste and Style" in the whole Danged FRANCHISE!

Point well taken! I don't like the direction this show has now taken. And I am really disgusted with Mondo and Anya's nasty attitude toward Natalia, especially after everything both of them went thru in past competitions. Tim appears to be accepting the bullying. This is not mentoring, it is harassment.
sharei'm also sick of their attitude towards nick.
shareI've just watched the get together show for the last series of Project Runway and Tim Gunn said *beep* to suggestions the show was staged in any way. The contestants apparently had been tweeting about characterisations and the editing that went into it and Tim denied it all vehemently.

Ever think that Tim might be just "mouthing" the Weinstein party line? All I'm saying is that MUCH more is going on behind the scenes than we know about, and genuflecting to the "BEAUTIFUL GEORGINA CHAPMAN" every episode....the way they did in PR ALL STAR, is just the tip of the iceberg.

Joystar, Well, now that you mention it, that does make a whole lot of sense. The direction of this show has gradually changed since it went over to that Lifetime Channel. Ummmm stirring up a little controversy & curtseying to the Mrs. W. Something's afoot I must say..
