Project Runway Season 21 Finale

Hello everyone! Like I said last week, I had plans this evening, and then I am headed out of town. I won't be able to get to a recap until probably Tuesday, but I didn't want to leave everyone hanging until then. So I am going to do a bare-bones commentary, so you can know who won. Next week I'll have a proper recap up (and also Amazing Race will get going soon!). I know a couple of people commented on last week's post about spoilers so that will be behind the cut.

Project Runway 9/18/25--"Something Wicked" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway”: Yuchen is sent home, which is fine. Then it's time for the “real women” challenge, which is actually sponsored by a drug company so everyone can make clothes for people with eczema. Why pay to advertise your drugs if you still need to watch the fabrics you use? Doesn't that imply your drugs don't work? Anyway, there are two men just for added difficulty. One of them flirts with Jesus, which everyone likes until he doesn't want to look effeminate. Veejay ended up in the top, because her client liked the boring look she made. Yes it's time for everyone to shift away from never caring about the client to rewarding any design that the client likes. Also you have to do a reveal. Antonio finally won, but to be fair it was great and had actual reveals. Jesus and Belania were in the bottom, and then Heidi said you're both out and then it was “to be continued”. (click for more)

Project Runway 9/11/25--"Threads of Confidence" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway”: Joan was eliminated, which is fine because people are going to see her tailoring and she'll have jobs. The challenge was to make western outfits, which is fine. It's not exciting but at this point we're just trying to get to the end. The twins basically made the same outfit: a miniskirt, bandeau top, and jacket, in white leather. Jesus won but I wonder if it's basically because Antonio is the only one who hasn't won a challenge so it will drive him insane. Veejay made a bodycon dress with red transparent vinyl fringe, and Yuchen made a silver sequined gown with matching horns right on her boobs. So that's the two bottom looks. (click for more)

Project Runway 9/4/25--"Runway Rodeo" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway”: Madeline was eliminated, because she was boring and sad. Then everyone had to make streetwear, which was not well defined and not everyone makes streetwear but fine. Ethan made a bodysuit which was basically elastic straps, but was safe for some reason. Antonio declared at the beginning of the episode he was ready to beat his brother at something, so naturally he was in the top. Belania won, though. Everyone thought Yuchen was going to win, but he was too boring and everyone is like offended. Joan had too much tailoring and ugly fabric so she's also in the bottom. (click for more)

Project Runway 8/28/25--"Hit the Streets" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway”: Joseph McRae was voted out, because there is no way they'd let a twin go home, and Joan is more mainstream. Then everyone had to make a “companion” piece for their unconventional materials look, which is a problem if you hate your unconventional materials look, as Joan and Madeline do. Joan managed to get some tailoring together for a suit, but Madeline was not successful. The twins helped each other, of course, and people got really pissy about it. Like, sniping that it must be nice to have your best friend here for moral support, I wish I had my sibling here, etc., as if they wouldn't also be leaning on them and pissing everyone else off. Belania got screwed over because her model called in sick last minute and she had to take in her outfit 4 sizes. Which is why it should be all plus-size models. Antonio was in the bottom but Heidi said it was her favorite because of course she did, so he is probably safe. Madeline had a sad outfit, and Belania had a boring outfit and resting bitch face. Veejay won, which is good because she should have won the unconventional materials challenge but we had to have only Law judge to cause drama. (click for more)

Project Runway 8/21/25--"Complementary Couture" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway”: Angelo was eliminated, because he is too boring and the producers know they can get some good TV out of Ethan. Then we had the unconventional materials challenge, which is a staple and always at least decent. And they did away with teams! So it was not bad. Even when Christian announced that the runway would be in the workroom, that just meant they'd have decent lighting for once. But the enshittification of the show continued, because there was only one judge: Law. And Law felt that Yuchen's soccer ball bikini, where he just cut balls in half and slapped them on his model, that should win over Veejay's lacy badminton shuttlecock dress. Then he put Joan, Joseph McRae, and Antonio in the bottom and told the remaining designers they would vote for who goes home. Because they think we all want to listen to these people bicker? I want to watch Jesus suddenly go from calling Veejay a bitch at every turn to telling everyone she's right, just because she wants to keep his twin in the show? Nope. (click for more)

Project Runway posts on Fridays

 Hi all, I'm gonna make a blanket decision that Project Runway recaps will be posted on Fridays. School started back up and in addition to being wiped from school, the fact that it starts so late and I have to be up early means I don't really want to stay up.  Plus if I'm being honest? I don't have the motivation with how this season is progressing. So they're going to be up Friday afternoons/evenings.
