PR S13 Ep 4, or, the ReGretchening

[lady_jane]

So I’m actually typing this up as the show is being telecast because I’m going on a vacation weekend upstate so I have to do the write-up quick or I won’t get this posted tomorrow (and good thing cuz I didn't get the images until an hour before I left). I may not be able to respond (my computer’s probably not coming with me). The designers are off

I couldn't really understand the whole Red Rubin thing. Rather crappy product placement indeed

[lady_jane]

The product placement was the worst! They could have had them design uniforms or something - it might have been relevant. The product push was both annoying and aggravating.

At first I thought it had more creative potential for the designers but I wasn't totally impressed with the finished products

There really wasn't a whole lot of "high fashion" going on.

loved Mitchel's outfit as well simply because I love this guy.

Unfortunately, no matter how awesome someone is, I only care about the fashion, and definitely Mitchell did a lot with what he was given, but that plastic was just... okay.

Poor kini (I'm having a 'Poor Kinney' moment here lol )

Ha! I still think Fade should have won. Or even been on top!

unlike last season this time it's getting really weird

Why? I like that they can see it up close, but it doesn't seem to be helping them much.

Have a nice Vacay :)

I had a great time! Thank you

*nods* It has to be about the fashion obviously but let's face it- in these kind of shows it's also about personality. So far Mitchel seems like he's got a lot more to offer and the producers seem to think so as well because he's already getting quite a bit of screen time, unlike some of the others which I still can't even recognize ;)

Why? I like that they can see it up close, but it doesn't seem to be helping them much.Well...IDK. It was a nice change last season but this time it's quite disturbing to see them fondling the fabric and touching the model's body and so on. I know it's been done a lot in the real world of fashion but here it's kinda getting boring esp with the judges tendencies to crack jokes while checking the yet to be Auf'd garments. Not that I don't agree with some of the judges critics during the 'up close' segment but it's... not very funny (Is it meant to be? :D

[lady_jane]

Oh, yeah, let me clarify - I definitely love to get all worked up over the jerks, but in my final analysis, it's about the fashion. So, for instance, on Master Chef I loathe Courtney, but and I'd be upset me if she wins, but at the end of the day I'll also think she deserves it because she knows what she's doing. And while I love Willie, so far his dishes haven't stacked up to hers. ...I'm using MC as the example because so far no one on PR has made me froth at the mouth (Amanda's in the running, but right now she's just annoying).

fondling the fabric and touching the model's body and so on

"Fondling the fabric," bwah! I guess it doesn't bother me when they touch the models cuz they're basically clothes hangers.

I missed ANTM's intro because on Monday I watch MC at 8 and Teen Wolf at 10. Is it on at 9? because otherwise I'm going to have to catch it on On Demand.

[lady_jane]

Oh, just saw it's got a lag of 24 hour on On Demand, but I'm watching it now.

So far, first 10 seconds: Oh Tyra, it really is all about you.

[guavejuice]

I'm not watching MS (the US version ) but from being quite a fan of other 'reality shows' of that nature I can say there's a thin line between the person's actual talents and skills in their particular field -be it cooking, interior design, fashion, drag- and their 'TV' personality, you know?...
ITA about Tyra obviously ...But then a proper ANTM discussion is a WHOLE different post.
TBC?...
