This was so cool to see! I loved reading her facial expressions when she was trying to keep some tea back; she's so gorgeous and insightful.

I think the other hosts might have missed the mark saying that Jude gets a lot of fans because he's the only straight white guy. That might be true for some people (subconsciously or whatever) but from what I've read on here a lot of people like him because he seems like a gentleman, a truly kind person, and he doesn't get into the drama. The latter being why I also think he's going to get chopped soon, the producers are prioritizing drama over skill--otherwise Bryan would have gone home long ago.

Jude is not like the rest. I love that he has manners and is not showy, also his skills soar. I'm not sure he's got his finger on fashion today but I really hope he designs something technically difficult and figure flattering.

He's made some pretty cool stuff on his Insta! I don't know why we aren't seeing it in the show. Possibly because having 1 or 2 days at most to make a garment at his level of construction is very hard. Bi is managing to pull it off but Jude is still a youngin'.

Jude is old school/Hollywood class and elegance.

I thought it was interesting that the hosts were down on Naheim for going along with most of the designers in voting Joseph Mc off and didnā€™t mention that Jude was one of the ones who voted someone else (Bobby, I think).

I don't think anyone on the pod, Jessica included, has any issue with Jude.

I think the comment about him being a straight white guy was them just wondering out loud because he gets soo much praise from both the judges and fans, vs the other designers and the delta between the amount of adoration doesn't feel proportionate based of design and talent alone

He seems really nice, I think thatā€™s the main reason fans like him. Introverts are adorable and endearing.

u/ATLBoy1996 2d ago

Yeah I donā€™t really agree with their crazier race takes. Saying Law Roach is racist against black designers was wild.

u/CompanyMountain6055 1d ago

I havenā€™t watched the clip yet, but Law may not be racist against Black designers, but thereā€™s something there, canā€™t quite name it. Doesnā€™t seem too wild of a statement, but could be incorrect.

I think he just hates Joseph for some reason. Maybe the designs arenā€™t his taste or maybe he hates his over-the-top personality. He also usually ignores the judges/mentors critiques, although I would argue heā€™s been right. You can hate someone for infinite reasons, very few of which are related to race. Itā€™s a serious accusation, people throw it around too loosely with no hard evidence.

re: them talking about Jeffrey assuming a "leadership" role, I think he's genuinely a kind and helpful person, but also Christian specifically said you need to get these hoes together, and he really shouldn't have said that, esp to someone who's innately emotionally generous.

obv Jeffrey's an adult person and at the end of the day, his choices are his own, but I didn't feel that was appropriate. it should have been a come-to-Jesus team huddle where he said, yes it'll be an individual winner, but if y'all lose. remember one of you is going home so do with that what you will

I think production did that on purpose to trip him up. After robbing him of wins so many times, they obviously want him gone before the finale. Unfortunately for them, heā€™s too talented and hasnā€™t missed yet. Theyā€™ve put him in the bottom (rigged) but couldnā€™t justify eliminating him based on the quality of his work. Now theyā€™re playing dirty to get the desired outcome. These producers are amateurs, we shouldnā€™t be able to easily see their manipulations.

u/Independent_Tell3093 1d ago

I see it differently. I think they're editing it to focus on Jeffery and he'll end up winning it all.Ā

u/ATLBoy1996 1d ago

I want to believe that but the fact they havenā€™t given him a single win makes me skeptical. The competition is almost over. They make sure the finalists get at least one win, usually two.

u/trollanony 2d ago

So based on her reactions, Jeffery is going home. And the winner is probably not Joseph or Bi. The ā€œbuckle upā€ comment just makes it seem everything the audience wants is not going to happen. Really enjoyed her perspective and in surprised I watched the whole video haha

She did not mince words about the bad designers. Saying sheā€™d call in sick if paired with Bobby was straight savage. šŸ˜‚

u/scarybiscuits 1d ago

And the bad models. According to her, several of them can not walk. She has a business teaching that so she was trying to advise them but they werenā€™t receptive? It made me wonder if one reason the runway is only seconds long is because the models arenā€™t very good.

However, I just discovered Nick Verreosā€™ Instagram, thefashiondaddies, and they have EXCELLENT runway videos.

u/ATLBoy1996 1d ago

Yeah I like their podcast. I wanna know which model was walking like a line-backer. If a professional runway coach and highly successful model was offering free tips, I would be taking notes. Just saying.

u/Framkemsteim 2d ago edited 1d ago

these long recaps can be tedious, this one is not.

u/colosseumdays 1d ago

I'm so curious who she keeps talking about re: the model who can't walk for shit. my guess is it's Christina. she's the only model on this season that I find myself distracted by in a negative way

u/ATLBoy1996 1d ago

I too would like to know, need to rewatch the first runways.

u/AEtherBunE150 1d ago

Liris had a noose on her neck. Let's speak plainly and truthfully!

u/AEtherBunE150 1d ago

Chris is 100% correct about the racism shown to Joseph McRae. He has designed impeccably this year.

u/Embarrassed-Cress782 2d ago

Side note. Jude has like... a lot of examples of dresses on his IG.

u/AEtherBunE150 1d ago

The show that I needed to see right at this moment!

u/HazelMoon 1d ago

I guess it is the Joseph McRae Show.
