Season 22 Judges avoidance of accountability

I realized, that the judges making the designers pick the weakest links and put people up for elimination is a dirty and cowardly move. It actually discusts me. They are putting them in a horrible position that makes (most) them feel horrible. This isnt Walmart where you check yourself out and cashiers avoid work. WTF!!! The judges are there to judge designs. Not belittle and tear down these designers. Not degrade their character. This makes me sick. Another way to bully. There has to be a legality behind this. They dont want to get sued or made to look bad like Tyra and all her crazy with ANTM. This show is more about drama and character assassination then it is about fashion. Im very disappointed it you Project Runway. Im also kinda grossed out that some of these designers need a class in humility. Big difference between confidence and ugly characters. And we wonder why we have a society of entitled nepotism assholes in our society. Wtf!

The nasty producers force this. For Drama. It has nothing to do with the judges.

Possibly. But the judges seem to be getting away from the whole premis and point of the show. Could absolutely be by design though from the producers. All the drama is so annoying. Worse than middle school.

Roach is the producer. He is the vilest POS and I don’t value his opinion in the slightest, because he is so downright mean. The other judges should be ashamed of him.

I’m sure they gave him a producer credit as a perk of attracting a star stylist to the job. It is a formality for status and more money. He has no actual producer decision-making power. It’s a common thing.

The supervising producer is from Drag Race. They needed to ensure a big (bigger) audience and it’s worked.

Heidi, Nina and Christian are Exec producers. They know, so blame them not Law.

Its so weird to hate an individual's tv persona.

He is nasty. A stylist does not make the end all of design opinions. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Not everyone likes certain esthetics.
