TAR 39, Recap Leg 0 9/23/26

 

Welcome back to the Amazing Race! It’s season number thirty-nine. We’ve only had to wait about a year for this one, even though it filmed last year. So this will be the first season in which we never touch the contiguous 48 states, and the first one since the COVID seasons where we have a non-American starting line. Oh, and I brought Toyouke along for the snark. Aren’t you lucky? Thankfully, we get Instagram videos of each of the teams this year, so it at least gives us a starting point. The thirteen teams for TAR39 are (click for more):

Project Runway 9/10/26--"The Finale" summary

Previously on “Project Runway”: Jeffrey was eliminated and Bryan was Saved, because fuck you is why. Everyone had to make both a wedding dress and a reception dress. The winner got their looks sold at David's Bridal, and I know you all already know it looked terrible and nowhere near the actual design. Anyway, Anna won, because she hadn't won yet, and she and Jude were in. Bi was also in. So I was briefly happy about Bryan being gone, but of course the judges decided they could maybe do a fourth finalist. Sigh. (click for more)

Project Runway 9/3/26--"Put a Ring on It" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway”: No one was eliminated so all that drama was for nothing. Bryan sulked because Jeffrey called him out and he was mad no one stood up for him. Honestly he was a pain in the ass all episode and the producers put in as many sound bites from him as possible. I guess to make us hate watch. The actual challenge was to make outfits inspired by dance styles, which is not the worst challenge. Jude won, because Jude is good at this. Jeffrey and Bryan were both eliminated, and then Christian revealed he had a Save this whole time and he's decided to save one of them. (click for more)

Project Runway 8/27/26--"Designing with the Stars" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway”: for no reason, some designers from last season showed up and were “competing” against this season's designers for the unconventional materials challenge. Everything was old tech. There was a bunch of stupid drama that I'm not talking about, and then Bi did well and Bryan didn't, and everyone was salty about how Bryan had immunity. But they didn't even say who won before the show ended. (click for more)

Project Runway 8/20/26--"Battle of the Seasons" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway”: Naheim won, for making paper towels look like denim. Elizabeth almost didn't go back out to the runway for critiques, but she did and then she was eliminated and got mad about being eliminated. Today's challenge is to make a red carpet look for Heidi for the premiere of “The Devil Wears Prada 2”. Whatever. Bryan won, even though his dress was terrible and people thought so before they knew it was from the show. For no reason, Bryan got to pick out who the bottom three designers were, and he chose Naheim (who had immunity), Bobby, and Jude. And then there was no cliffhanger! I know! Bobby was eliminated.

Project Runway 8/13/26--"The Devil's in the Details" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway:” Aaron went home because no one will get rid of the drama potential of Bi and Bryan. The challenge was to make clothes out of paper towels. Because of reasons. This better not be the only unconventional materials challenge. Anyway, most people managed to make things that looked like cloth, until they walked to the runway and stuff started tearing. For judging, everyone had to say who they were the least impressed with, and most people said Joseph because I think once someone puts up a name everyone just goes with it. Law is a dick about it, because he doesn't like Joseph but Joseph's designs haven't been poor enough to put him in the bottom. Bi and Bryan were in the top, along with Naheim and Jeffrey, and Bobby, Elizabeth, and Anna were in the bottom. But we don't find out anything else because Law and Tyra had to have a fight about nothing. (click for more)

Project Runway 8/6/26--"Viva La Fashion" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway:” Chloe and Andriy were eliminated. Chloe was pretty resigned, but Andriy was pissed. The challenge was to have head-to-head battles based on animals, because the Humane Society is the sponsor. I mean I guess so. The models were random reality stars, and Veejay. Then one of them bailed last minute, so they had Chloe do it. She looked great, to be honest, but it sucked for those two designers who had to remake the garments at the last minute for a model who is a different size. Oh and then the judges voted on who wins the head-to-heads because of drama, I guess. Jude won, which is fine. The bottom designers were Bryan, Aaron, and Bi. (click for more)
