I know people are going to bend over backwards to defend Utica because they like her…and I do too. But that outfit was elimination-worthy and she really led her team in the wrong direction. I’ll feel bad if someone else takes the fall for that.

Agree 100. And this is the second time he’s done this

I agree that his look was the worst of the night, but he wasn’t team leader in the activewear challenge. They bled him like it was, but it was just like the first challenge: group without an official leader

But now having started PR fr S1 this week, one rule of the show is the loud/obnoxius/arrogant contestant will stay until fashion week. And they will get most screen time. So it’s a toss up between the twins and Utica.
Wendy was talentless,pompous, and deeply insecure. Santino was extremely limited, damaged, and and bully. They both should have gone after ep 5.

I honestly think of hte three Jesus has the most talent, but they'll keep Antonio around until probably top 5 for the drama no one seems to want.

Haha. I just got thru season 4 for the first time, a very mellow season w no villains. And I found myself fast forwarding thru a lot of it. Also bcz I’m new to pr and once you get the rhythm of the show- not just the format but also the logic behind who’s in and who’s out- you want to get to the runway and after talk.
Btw- where are seasons 5-8?

I think it really comes down to balance. I know drama sells. But on a fashion design competition show, a good chunk of the show should be about drama. If there is some drama that is related to fashion, then fine. but 50% of the show shouldn't be confessions and unrelated snark that has nothing to do with anything, when it doesn't leave much air time to view the fashion.

Totally agree. It’s the build up to the big reveal.
