I didn't really bother taking notes for this particular episode of PR mostly because I had essays to write, I wasn't in the greatest state of mind (still) and the episode was a bit of a dud since we all know what happens in the penultimate episode: Designers scatter, Uncle Tim critiques what they have then, Designers return, Uncle Tim critiques what they have NOW, runway, elimination. Lather, rinse, repeat.
The few things worth noting are what the designers are like (more so) after getting the hell out of Parsons and their designs to determine who might win. We'll go off the see Kimberly of the Pants Tribe, whose designs are okay, so-so, along those lines of "in process". We're then introduced to her friends and her family, to which I forgot about her mother passing when she was 17. Poor thing. She seems to be in a steady position, especially with the support of her friends and sister.
Next, Uncle Tim is off to Trinidad. How exotic! Anya the Great greets Uncle Tim at the docks as they take a boat to her home. Did she really need the $20,000? Maybe she's saving up to buy her own island. Unfortunately, Anya only has gorgeous fabrics but, well, NOTHING to show Uncle Tim. Bum bum BUUUM. Trouble's a brewing. But that comes later. For now, she introduces him to her two brothers, who are her biggest fans. Aww! Anya also explains the line (or an earlier line/designs/something I forget which) is dedicated to her brother who had passed away... uh, poor thing? Something spooky is going on here this season and I'm not liking it. Well, she bids farewell and, allegedly, goes straight to work.
Then, Uncle Tim returns to New York to meet with Viktor Regina George. His work so far is amazing and there's not really as much critique as the girls got. He's still working with black, whites and greys but he's adding a splash of purple in there. Keep in mind, it's not by a lot. Ugh. Anyway, for his inspiration, Viktor returned to his homeland of Mexico and talks about memories of his brother. Who passed away. THAT'S IT. As callous as this sounds, just how many of these designers have dead relatives? I mean Bert and Joshua and now these three? It's bad enough that this season that the women's bathroom has to be featured constantly but we could do without the pity sob stories, ESPECIALLY NOW. Anyway, Viktor introduces his boyfriend to Uncle Tim and they toast to success.
Now it's Joshua's turn but he gets some extra screentime before Tim arrives for lunch to meet with him and his sister. I must admit, Joshua's sister is absolutely GORGEOUS. I wonder if she models... anyway, they chat a bit about things before Tim arrives. Then they talk about Joshua's career as an athlete (well, that explains why he did so well for that New Balance challenge race). Moving on, we see Joshua's collection and.... well, it wasn't pretty. Uncle Tim called some of his stuff "matronly" and Joshua gave his best cum-shot face (YEAH, I WENT THERE) in distress in the confessional. As soon as Tim leaves, Joshua starts ripping things apart.
Soon, the day to move into the penthouse suite thing arrives and Joshua is the first to arrive. I lost interest when he went on about how the wind was his mother and blah blah blah blah blah. Then the girls arrive and Viktor and Tim swings by for a toast, since they'll going back to sew like demons the next day. As it turns out, most of the designers have been working hard and doing as Tim says. Anya even has clothes to show him but, unfortunately, they look a lot like the stuff she had before the show began. Couldn't she have utilized what she learned on the show into her work instead of falling back on her safety? I mean, the woman made pants for the first time for the first challenge and look how stunning they looked! Anyway, she's starts to panic and reverts to Anya the Leper.
Time flies, sewing continues and runway day comes with the designers presenting their three best looks from their collections. Needless to say, they're all pretty dumpy with the exception of Viktor's. After deliberations, the judges decide to let all four of them go through the fashion week (what a surprise). And then came the after show, where we're treated to never before seen clips and why no one wants to mess with Heidi. Not only can she run in 6 inch heels, she managed to pin Michael Kors to the ground (then again, that's not very hard to do). And there's the reminder to vote for the fan favorite, which really is just between Anya and Anthony Ryan since most of the designers didn't have much of a personality this season or were extremely grating.
Now, if I had to make a choice, it looks like Viktor could be the winner of this season, but who knows what could happen at the runway... though I sure hope someone has some cool music this season!
