So for this episode, we started off with elimination where the contestants have to vote for someone to be out instead of the judges, and a it created a mean spirited vibe throughout the beginning and if the rumors about production members having to circle around the designers (Ethan, Belania, and Madeline) to intimidate them into voting, that's a pretty big yikes. Madeline was clearly upset that they were being forced to vote instead of the judges doing their job and instead of validating her feelings Christian says "that's the name of the game people go home every week." No that's not why she's upset she's upset because they were essentially forced to be judges for who gets to go home and I did not like the way they try to gaslight the situation to take the blame off production's back for that decision. And after that elimination, they are immediately tasked to make an outfit. Why not make them wait a day? Because the elimination clearly shook a lot of them up. Anyway, the judging for this episode is pretty fair. The top three I agree with the winner. I agree with the bottom three I agree with although I do wish that they could improve their unconventional looks instead of presenting their unconventional looks as is, but judging by the looks, they made this episode. I agree with every placement and even judging by the looks, they made both for the steps on the last episode. I still agree with the placements. I really liked all six looks at the top three did and I liked Jones outfit. I just wish Joan's look was more cohesive with the popsicle stick dress. I agree with the bottom three Antonio's look while I like the pants. I did not like the top. It was way too basic and doesn't fit well.. Belania and Madeline I personally think they should've been in the bound three last episode over Antonio and Joseph McRAE. Nina saying she doesn't know how Antonio made it this far just sounds so unnecessarily mean I want the judges to uplift designers instead it feels like everyone is trying to tear them down. They're overworked they're getting overly harsh critiques and the judges are wondering why the designers have an attitude and honestly, I would not be surprised if many of these designers do not want to come back for an all stars and I wouldn't be surprised the project runway doesn't invite any of them back because I wouldn't be surprised if they're like let's forget about the season. Let's not cast any of the season 21 designers for any future All-Stars because it feels like everyone who isn't a contestant is a jerk and while the bottom three I agree with, I also wouldn't be surprised that if they did better that they would still put them in the bottom as a punishment for standing up against production. Project runway stop treating the contestants like dirt they don't deserve this. How would you feel if you're treated like that? The only reason why I'm giving it three stars is because I think the judging of placements is very fair. And I hope that the judges and Christian watch the season like really watch this season and realize how badly their contestants are being treated.
