Hola Gasmii!
Welcome to the Candy Factory! We are treated this week to a classic and beloved (at least by me) format of forcing designers to use non-materials to construct clothes. This week it’s the candy challenge which can only mean one thing – lots of glue guns! Also we know the contestants will envision tediously detailed designs and then freak when they run short on time. One day for a micro-mosiac is just asking for carpel tunnel. MrsMia’s bff went as Katy Perry for Halloween a few years back and found out quickly that sticking candy buttons onto shoes, belt, skirt, etc… gets old real fast.
One giant pain in the ass. Also the dress looks difficult
It is cute to see how giddy all the designers are picking out their materials; something about a candy shop reaches deep inside of all of us.
Come with me, and you’ll be, in a world of pure imagination
Although I was counting on a bit of an escalation from last week, our favorite Skunk channels his manic side and turns on the bubbly-happy in the workroom instead of the bitchy-diva. It is a better version of his personality, but alarm bells are ringing, Winston. Someone this unstable could easily be the one headed for a breakdown. He did put out some good work so there’s that.
There is, of course, the usual scrambling by the less competent and the snarking of the more competent at their fellow designers’ work, but a unique challenge always brings unique meltdowns. Granny Smith proves the fragile one when Tim Gunn’s brutal appraisal of her craptastic fashion drives her to walk out of her interview session. What is that considered? Breaking the fifth wall?Also Buffi the Taste-Slayer is garish. Quelle surprise.
Lucky that there is money in ugly
We learn that Fat Morpheus is a bit cocky and bitchy- but smart enough to keep it fairly quiet. Sonjia is less quiet this episode and I am loving her even more. I hope they are slow-rolling her to get better and better. Oh, and Elena burns herself creating Pasta Surprise and acts like a giant baby. Then Chris burns her again with a few pointed remarks and I can just picture her watching the episode.
There’s no crying in fashion
The output was mostly awful and unwearable, but there were truly some stand out pieces that looked remarkable. Once again, the person who won and the person who lost both deserved it completely in my opinion. I don’t know what it says about me that I am in sync with people like Garcia and Kors.
This is my brain on Klum

I was torn between Von and Sonjia this week for the win. I choose to think that – had she NOT put that funky ‘placemat’ on the model’s head – Sonjia might have taken it. That dress was stunning, classically clean, and the color palette was interwoven with breathless mastery. Ven’s was more clean cut, but hers – for my money – was more surprisingly FUN
I could not wait for Lantie to be kicked off – what a waste of space and air! I was screaming at my TV from the moment they announced the challenge ‘You’re going home, Bit@h!!!’ The end just could not come soon enough. What a fricking walking stick of delusions of grandeur – I bet in her own mind, she’s a LEGEND already. In her intro this week she said (roughly) ‘I had a store, then I went bankrupt – and LOOK AT ME NOW!’ I yelled back ‘Exactly, you’re on an F-ing competition show with 22 year olds!’ Definitely NOT the career arc you’d want to follow, but – Bless her heart – she’s completely unaware of the irony of her own statements. I bet she thinks she was sent packing because she’s ‘beautiful and talented’ and everybody else was jealous that she did not invite them into her ‘beautiful and talented club’. Bwahahahaha! Talentless, dumb, and worst of all, lazy N U T J O B!
I love the unconventional challenge, but haven’t they done a candy one already.
I loved that everything in the candy store was color categorized in in the order of the rainbow. I don’t understand, how people who work at places like candy stores and bakeries don’t get fat. I would eat all of the candies.
Someone should burn Skunk’s tank tops. I really think men shouldn’t be allowed to wear tank tops.
I hate when contestants gone on reality shows and whine and complain. Especially on shows that have been around as long as Project Runway. They should know what’s show about by now and just shut up and deal with it. My sister went to school for fashion design, and she’s been told she should audition for Project Runway. But she knows they have at most 2 days to design and sew and has said she couldn’t handle that, so she’s not going to audition for the show. It’s surprisingly easy to not audition for reality shows.
They did one at the Hershey Store in Times Square in season 4 but as i recall most of the designers used fabric not candy for the materials for there look. That Von is weird when he won he said it was nice meeting you that is something a person says when they are kicked off the show. This year already is better then season 9 when the chick who did not know how to sew and only made Maxi dresses won.
I would also like to add that outfit that Heidi wore for judging was butt ugly. If i was one of the designers with the lowest scores i would have call her out on it.
I have never seen so many adults roll their eyes like tweens than I have this season on PR. So glad Lantie is gone, she was such a sour entitled person. Buffi’s dress was hideous (I kept waiting for Madonna circa 1985 to come out and take her dress back, it was not Sex and the City to me – which would also be very dated btw). Buffi has a very questionable fashion sense. But she’s fun so she can stay awhile.
Gunnar is trying way too hard to make absolutely sure he has a bunch of snappy one-liners and over the top workroom behavior to get as much screen time as possible. I hope the editors limit his THs and don’t play into his famewhorishness but with his absolute determination to have a feud with someone to make sure drama surrounds him and highlights his participation I doubt they’ll be able to resist. Liked his dress though I was glad he was third just to tick him off.
Still loving this season very much.
I think Sonjia should have won. Ven made a dress and then attached candy to it; Sonjia took candy and then made a dress out of it (which was the actual description of the challenge).
emily…Ven was telling the candy lady it was nice to meet her. Nothing wrong with that.
Lantie looks like a 50 year-old version of Denise Richards. Kinda acts like one too…
Ven’s dress reminded me of the bird seed dress from the pet store challenge, and I’m glad he took the win. The other top two were really nice too, even that snitty little twink who I want to punch in his stupid ovaries made a really cool dress.
i kind of loved how chris got all OSHA on elena’s ass.
semi-spoiler maybe from the previews for the next episode:
loved how stinky gunnar got stuck with making an outfit for meani irina. match made in bitchy heaven.
I was surprised when Sonji was in hair and makeup and pulled out that stupid hat/fascinator/whatever. I thought, noooooooooooo!!
I suspect that the reason Ven won was because of his GORGEOUS blouse from last week and then the actual design of this dress this week (which repeated that rose motif on the bottom half.)
That back flap for the bottom of Sonji’s dress also detracted from the beautiful lines and construction of the rest of the dress. Think that she and Ven will be the two top contenders
I agree with everybody I loved Sonji’s dress, but hated that hat. Some of these designers need to remember less is more.
Loved Sonjias dress – girl’s got talent. Ven makes me think of Rami in a way. Yes, he’s talented but hopefully he’s not a one-note (all Rami did was drape). Ven’s pants (the white suit episode one) were fugly and made the model look like she had 80 inch hips. The bustier was gorgeous but if he uses a flower motif on everything he does, they’ll call him on it. Kooan (afrasian boy) made something that, to me, was about the joy of the candy so really met the challenge.
Yes, it was Lanties time. Actually, episode one was Lanties time, just glad she’s gone. I really have no idea what her aesthetic is and now I’ll never know. Some designers just shouldn’t come on this show. I design and I’d meltdown from the pressure. I’m what’s known as a ‘slow’ sewer – I takes my time.
Wonder what Gunnar’s up to? I adored how he said that Chris was threatened by him. NO ONE is threatened by him but thinking they are is apparently what gets him through the day. And I also liked Nathan’s dress – it was creative and had an interesting shape. Yes, it weighed 365 pounds but I still liked it. Hope he starts coming to the forefront more often – I think he’s got skills.
I was talking about when Ven was declared the winner and he said it was nice to meet you that is something a person who was kicked off would say to the judges.
One of the judges was Dylan Lauren – that’s who Ben said “nice to meet you “. He needs to rein in that ego just a tad, he’s still saying he should have won the first challenge. Yes, his “rose ” top was beautiful, but the pleated pants made his model look fat and the jacket must not have fit properly because the model was wearing it on her shoulders. Her arms were never in the sleeves.
Gunner is still an attention seeking asshole, stay away from him Chris!
Ven looks like Mr. Clean’s chubby younger brother. That oughta de-swell that head of his. He must be really insufferable to be around.
I enjoyed the look of relief on Scabies-head’s face when she realized that, even though she really sucks as a designer (and as a person, judging by the look of her), Lantie was still in the competition. What’s she going to do next week?
Also, I can’t believe they gave the Japanese guy a pass this week. He sucks. His schtick would only work if he was some kind of genius. But so far he designs like an 11-year-old girl.
Kenley and Irina AND Miss Trinidad & Tobago Porn Star? Hooray!
I actually thought most of the “designs” were pretty fun and cool. Definitely a good showing. Obv Lantie was out of her league . . . sigh . . . and I agree that Ven’s flower motif is very, Idunno, designer 101. I thought the flower top was well done, but bleeeech, I would never want to wear that-imagine all the crumbs and things that would get stuck in the petals, and how would you wash it? I was pretty torn about who should have won this week, and I think perhaps Sonji, as I suspect Ven will be in the top most weeks . . .
I was also glad no one got dung for their dress falling apart. I get that Eleana’s was monotone etc, but they didn’t say a thing about how much it was falling apart. I found it true to her style, but maybe black licorice, and a color accent would have been a bit more exciting.
