Project Runway 1/6/22--"The Housewives" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway”: the unconventional materials challenge! This time it was things in a bar. Shantall made a dress out of straws, sewn together to look like armor. It really was a cool look. Prajje was eliminated because his look didn't fit, but really he had one of the plus-sized models and they specifically said she didn't show enough skin. Yes his skirt was a weird length, but because it wasn't super fitted, they decided it needed to be very exposed on top and I'm tired of the judges constantly harping on how beautiful the plus-sized models are (as if the other models are not) and insisting the plus-sized models have to wear tight clothing that exposes a lot of skin.

TAR 33, Recap Leg 2, 1/5/22

 

Welcome to Leg 2! Last time, on Why Did We Insist On Doing a Cell Phone Staggered Start Again?, 11 teams started Amazing Race 33 in various cities across the USA and ended up in London! Teams had to either run around London at night, or paste a puzzle on a wall. But in the end, it was Team Cop Rock who couldn’t catch a break, and were the first team eliminated, because somehow the Twins were just that much better. Who will be eliminated. . . next?

TAR 33, Recap Leg 1, 1/5/22

 

Welcome to Leg 1 of The Amazing Race 33! It’s been a long time since we’ve been together; in fact, this season was interrupted by COVID, so we’ll get to see some race pre-COVID and some race during COVID, which are probably going to look rather different. However, we still for some reason get the staggered cell phone start from TAR28 (you know, the social media stars season.) Now, this part gets a little crazy, but in the hustle and bustle of a phone call from Phil and a remote start, we get to meet the teams. (click for more):

TAR 33, Recap Leg 0, 1/2/22

 

Welcome back to the Amazing Race! It’s season number thirty-three. Which started taping in February of 2020. Before the pandemic. And then pandemic, which by the way, how’s everyone doing? Feeling the wanderlust? Need to travel? Well, TAR resumed September 17, 2021, so now we can have a full season, which will be interesting. Oh, and I brought Toyouke along for the snark. Aren’t you lucky? We’ve read the bios, and watched the videos and read the bios, so let’s get to this shall we? (Toyouke: “Why are the individual team bios on Instagram? I refuse to get an Instagram account and this is obnoxious.”) The eleven teams for TAR33 are: (click for more)

Project Runway 12/16/21--"The Last Straw" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway”: everyone acted like “comfy chic” was a thing aside from just going out in public in leggings or in your pajama pants like we all did last year because who cares. The designers have to do something with this aesthetic, which means basically everyone made wide-legged pants and loose clothing. Sure. Also last year's winner Geoffrey and Cyndi Lauper showed up for some reason. Kristina made a huge shapeless thing that you can wear like a flannel around your waist, or like a caftan but with multiple prints, and anyway for some reason the judges liked it and she won. Coral made harem pants and a dress, out of sequins, which was not comfy but also was not enough to send her home. Instead Octavio and his silver brocade hoodie dress and stockings were sent home. But then also Zayden's ill-fitting jumpsuit was enough for elimination. I knew a double elimination was coming, because of Shantall being saved last week, but I didn't expect it right away.

Project Runway 12/9/21--"Couch Couture" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway”: everyone paired up to make avant garde looks using faux fur. Yeah. Chasity won, for making an art piece with Prajje. Aaron and Bones had a dumb argument where Aaron lost it, and was a jerk, but then when he apologized Bones just lectured him on how black men are not allowed to react to anything. Octavio and Anna ended up in the bottom, partially blamed on how the van driver hit some scaffolding and broke the window right next to Anna so she was not on. But in the end the judges eliminated Shantall, even though Kristina made the dress they didn't like. But Kristina had immunity. So Christian used his Save to keep Shantall in the competition.

Project Runway 12/2/21--"Are You Fur Real?" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway”: designers had to make a fashion look to accompany an accessory. It was nice to see some accessory designers because it reminded me of Project Accessory. Prajje was given gloves covered in huge faux flowers, and he made a classic gorgeous dress, but he did not win for some reason. Kristina won, which, I guess. Also Coral was randomly in the top but she didn't win, despite getting more screen time in the last episode than all season. Katie made a dress that was very her, the way the judges have been yelling at her to do, so of course they hated it and sent her home finally. (click for more)
