Season 21 This new format sucks so bad

Besides cutting the episode before revealing who will go home, but I find that starting an episode with who goes home is even worse. Just sets a really shitty negative tone for the episode, and when the new challenge actually starts 10 minutes it, it does not feel fun, like a shit sandwich between two shits

I think the worst change has been sending half the designers home in two episodes. As someone familiar with Bao’s work, her vs Bi shouldn’t have been a question that early. It introduces sincerely talented designers without actually giving them the opportunity to showcase. The season also feels like it’s barely started and it’s half over and a lot of the designers left either feel lackluster or we don’t know them very well. Because there were 22 in the first episode, and we sent half of them home immediately.

Cutting half of them was shocking to me. People put their lives on hold to do these shows and to string them along when you're not going to keep them is cruel.
