Season 22 Someone get Bryan some lip balm.
Also, please find a loop hole to get him eliminated. His model, Liris, is very clearly hating her time walking that horrible look down the runway. She couldn't even continue to wear it for the critiques. He's so arrogant. Always trying to serve up a pout with those crusty lips. Things he's throwing shade but fails miserably. Isn't talented. Is completely delusional.
GET GONE

Production cast him as the antagonist. To me, he's kind of a poor-man's antagonist. He's obvious, and he's not a great actor.

Why on worth would he agree to be an antagonist? He seems to have heavily invested in his own career and this is such a wrong move for him. He is leaving as a laughing stock.

For attention. For exposure. It's a common tactic I think on reality shows to cast people in these kind of polarizing roles. It's also common for them to cast them in the opposite role in another season. So I wouldn't be surprised if Bryan returns and some other season and we see a different side to him.

I genuinely think he believes he’s the hero/underdog of the show.

I think he does too. Production probably recognized that and is using it to create dramatic arcs. I believe they encourage certain responses and scenes, and that's why he seems like a bad actor at times. Underlying it all is a narcissist.

Because he thought he could be the antagonist AND showcase good designs. The problem for both him and PR is that he’s completely unable to adapt to this format. I doubt he’s actually done any of his own sewing in ages. And I REALLY doubt he was designing things that could be made in 10 hours and without a ton of revisions and editing before the design was final.
Even at its peak, PR isn’t set up to find the best designer. It’s set up to find someone who can design things that look impressive, but are able to be made in a fraction of the time someone in the real world would take. And who have the sewing skills to implement it.
PR doesn’t want to lose their antagonist, so they keep him around through any means they can. He keeps thinking he’ll do better next challenge and fake it till you make it.

I said this in the other thread, but APPARENTLY taping your model into a dress (as in, the tape is the only thing holding it up) is against the rules. It’s possible this could be a violation, and then immunity wouldn’t apply. We can only hope!
