TAR 35, Recap Leg 0, 9/20/23

 

Welcome back to the Amazing Race! It’s season number thirty-five. It has been a full year since the last time we’ve racearoundtheworld-ed, and in that time, two full TARs have been taped. Since there’s a strike going on, rather than air what was going to be TAR35, they took the next season (filmed this past June and July), gave it 90 minute episodes, and made THAT TAR35. In good news, airport drama is back! But charter flights will be back later since old TAR35 (now TAR36?) was still in COVID restrictions. All caught up? Good. Oh, and I brought Toyouke along for the snark. Aren’t you lucky? We’ve read the bios and watched the videos, so let’s get to this shall we? (Toyouke: “Why are the individual team bios on Parade.com this year? At least I can watch them for once.”) The thirteen teams (first time ever!) for TAR35 are (click for more):

Project Runway All Stars 8/7/23--"The Finale" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway All-Stars”: the final four were asked to make avant-garde outfits inspired by an art instillation that was mostly glass and mirrors. Bishme continued to make interesting streetwear and was declared the winner. Laurence did an interesting skirt shape (and had Mimi) so she was also in. It came down to Brittany (boring but decently made) and Rami (fit the challenge but had terrible seams) and the judges chose Brittany. So Rami was eliminated. (click for more)

Project Runway All Stars 8/31/23--"The Sky's the Limit" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway All-Stars”: menswear red carpet challenge. Make some flashy clothes. I do like this challenge which is fun but has a good twist. Rami won for making a tuxedo, but with diagonal seams and loose pants. It was a sci-fi costume in the best way. Prajje did paint on some silk, but the judges used the shitty runway lighting to complain the colors weren't good and he was sent home. (click for more)

Recap up on Friday

 My DVR cancelled my recording for no reason, and I was not at home so I didn't discover it until halfway through the episode. I set it up to tape the replay but that's not until 1am, so I will have to get it tomorrow after school. So early evening? We're almost to the end.

Project Runway All Stars 8/24/23--"Let Me See Your Peacock" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway All-Stars”: we had a very contrived challenge that was supposedly about “double bind”, which is when you get conflicting criticisms, aka what the judges here always do. But then everyone started talking about how this was about women not being able to be themselves? Which makes no sense. Anyway, the whole thing ended up being an excuse for nonsense judging and Laurence won, which is whatever. Korto argued with the judges so I guess that was the excuse to send her home.

Project Runway All Stars 8/17/23--"Double Bind" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway All-Stars”: the remaining designers were able to make whatever they wanted. The runway was outside for no reason, meaning no one could see anything. Bishme made a weird skirt that was sheer to the knee and then giant brown ruffles and he won. Kara Saun made a coat covered in feathers which was a lot. She was eliminated, even though they yelled at Prajje for making something dated. (click for more)

Slight delay on recap

 It has been a very busy week and the Project Runway recap is going to be late. I am hoping Friday afternoon? Sorry and thank you
