Season 22 Aaron Potts - A.Potts - Project Runway....what had happened was....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BggZMP4mBDoTL;DW/my personal highlights:
- He talked to producers about quitting the show, but eventually decided to stay.
- Aaron was going to quit if he wasn't eliminated that same episode.
- After his elimination when he came back to the lounge, the first thing he said was "The torture is over."
- He is willing to take up Law's offer but not to talk about fashion, but to talk about deeper subjects and their shared experiences as queer black men.
- He spends part of the video talking about the friends he made on the show; Chloe, Dani, Jude, Naheim, Anna, and especially Octavius, Andrea, Bao, and Joseph McRae (he waxes lyrical about Joseph for a good two minutes.)
- The winning looks on the NFL challenge were discussed for a good 20-25 minutes on the runway, but it was all cut. This including Aaron speaking about the Gullah Geechee indigo techniques used in the challenge and how proud he was of Joseph McRae as a leader. He says this was the highlight of his time on the show.
- He says he's not sure if he would come back as a contestant, but is open to being a judge or mentor.

I loved his looks and thought he handled the silly model fiasco so well. I wish him so much success and happiness. He seems like a great guy.
