We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Still watching but hat guy creeped me the fuck out by calling the model "his" and talking about how her boobs were distracting.

Also, eww, romper.

and this song "when she turns 18" is really creepy, much less the weird synchronized swimming/dancing.

I liked the synchronized swimming...but ended up having to fastforward because he was so in need of some autoTune.

And as soon as they (shockingly!!) announced Lauren in B3, I was like "Oh, Billy, sorry!!" Because if it had been Robert instead, I feel like Billy would've stayed (and oh, I would've preferred that because Robert skeeves me), but with Lauren no way.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

And as soon as they (shockingly!!) announced Lauren in B3, I was like "Oh, Billy, sorry!!"

Exactly this--I was so sure of it, I peeked here and then fast forwarded from the end of the solos to the end.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

so, can someone explain to me what all the bullshit on PR was about regarding: "we are still in the audition phase, you might not make the show?"

so, let me get this straight: you are still auditioning, even though, you have been introduced on national tv, people know your background, you had to do a challenge, there was a winner.

So how is this not actually being on PR? Why don't they just say they started the season with 17 designers. Why go through the bullshit of saying they were still auditioning. How is what they did in this episode different from a typical PR episode except they had like 5 minutes to put the outfit together.

I don't get why they were deliberately confusing about this.

BTW, Nina speaking Spanish?

Oddly very hot.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

Too many people on PR. They should have kicked several off. Ugh.

And ugh again that Billy is gone on SYTYCD. I really don't understand how Adechike has never been in the bottom three. He's so... blah. (and he was sooo feminine in the Foxtrot!)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

You know, it's great that Gatorade is doing all of this stuff for dance, but the product placement is a little blatant.

Yeah! What a step forward for...something...that Gatorade is deciding to market to a new demographic, probably young girls that dancing is a sport!

Punishingly Intricate

Oh, yes, the romper! So, so wrong

Maybe this is why it's Project Runway like you've never seen it before?

giraffe mode

Hat Guy should have gone, he's skeevy and his garment was gross (staples? WTF!) This is the season of weird names: Mondo, Cassanova, Peach, McKell (which I sorta like and I thought that the judges would like her dress..shows what I know!). I was meh on the winning dress, it was a half-twist on the little black dress. I knew that as soon as Ivy said "it's the Ivy show" that she was doomed but she stood her ground which considering they were still "auditioning" was balls-y. Sometimes I think they keep the crazy designers around so Michael can keep his Sir Quips Alot title but frankly Cassanova's dress was several shades of wrong - the best part was the cut-away shot of Nina as the model was leaving the runway "oookay"
