The first all-female final four in Project Runway history!

I know Nina said this but season 6 exists. Gordana, Carol Hannah, Althea and Irina already did this. And season 5 had an all female finale.

This was a bad runway. I picked Coral for best look only because it didn't have glaring issues but I didn't love any look.

Chasity's was outright bad. It looked like a costume from the 80s version of Dynasty. Even if she'd rendered it in a colour, it would have made it a bit more modern.

Shantall tried to do way too much. I think if she had another day, it would have been nice but as it was, it looked sloppy.

Kristina's was cute when it was the pants and the little top. I know girls who would wear that. I don't get her obsession with these asymmetrical togas. It's too much fabric and hanging things. I don't get it. That bag was so cute though. She should be churning those out to sell when the season ends.

Coral's was fine. I hated the necklace. The construction was great. I, like Christian, just wish these people would embrace

Ha, I should have known better than to believe/quote Nina! But it is nice to see that this final four is all immigrants/WOC.

I thought she meant final 4 going to fashion week. I don't think they've ever had 4 females go to fashion week.

The other all female finales might've been with only 3, but as OP said, they definitely had finalist groups that were all female before. Idk if Nina had forgotten or production told her to say this without checking (or not caring).

These looks were not it for me. Fitting that there was no winner for this ep. I think Chastity has no idea what modern, let alone futurist, fashion is. I didn't know she was a prom dress designer but now it all makes sense. Her dress looked like a Bob Mackie knock off.

I think it's cool Kristina tried something a little unique with the pants but the whole look was boring. It was giving baggy scrubs, got tangled in the fabric divider between hospital beds.

Coral's look was too gimmicky. I thought the egg things looked weird and IDK what about macrame says future of fashion. Very real housewives on vacation.

Shantall's...another matronly look. The stark white color and peplum together looked like a fancy auntie at Easter service. I don't get the androgyny in the look either.

This season has been so boring to me. Usually I'm really rooting for at least one designer, but this time I don't particularly care who wins; I guess just whoever has the collection I like best. I wish Anna could've made it to the end, but after the car accident her head was never quite in it. Sucks.

I was going crazy with Christian at Mood when everyone wanted to use the same boring colors AGAIN.

[silverstarry]

I know that Christian has been criticized for giving the designers too much specific criticism, but I LOVE when he gets totally exasperated and rolls his eyes at designers who insist on using the same colors (or lack thereof) repeatedly. When he told one of the designers, "But you've already used blue so many times!" and proceeded to name the different challenges where she'd used blue, I wanted to high five him.

I like that Christian is so specific with his critiques, I feel like it's more helpful for the designers. And I get it better to how he is trying to push their designs. Just saying stuff like "edit it" or "turn up the volume" is so super vague, I'd be so confused as a contestant what he wants me to do.
So with you supporting his demand for more colour, that's why I'm always sad when the designers go that are not afraid to use colour and prints.

[silverstarry]

I haaaaate when designers say things like "I only use black" or "I don't use prints." Seeing all black designs come down the runway is always disappointing because 99% of the time it's impossible to see any details of the design.

Really tired of the micro aggressions against Chastity by the editing and judges comments. They did the same shit with Bones.

Also tired of Kristina’s looks. Coral sneaking up on me and making really unique looks. Kinda want her to win, even though Shantall might be the best designer the show has ever had.

[silverstarry]

I liked that the judges mentioned that the final four have collectively won 9 out of the 12 challenges. I hate when someone sneaks into the finale by coasting by in the middle all season.

I checked and it breaks down like this:

Chasity: 3 wins, 1 high, 4 lows
Coral: 0 wins, 3 highs, 2 lows
Kristina: 2 wins, 4 highs, 3 lows
Shantall: 4 wins, 1 high, 1 low (eliminated but saved by Christian)
