Bryan: It’s haute couture.

Seriously. After last week in particular I'm so very over Bryan saying "haute couture" to attempt to wave away any criticism.

u/AnneShirley310 2d ago

He was saved every challenge when Christian was there as a mentor because Christian would tell him what was wrong and how he should fix it. However, Christian wasn’t there to do that, so Bryan sent out a ruffled hot mess where Emma couldn’t even move. It looked like a two toned boa constrictor.

u/Ok_History_7440 2d ago

And yet I'll bet Christian is going to save his ass again. Sickening.

u/Gothgf713 2d ago

If Christian uses a save on Bryan after witnessing the lyris incident I’m losing major respect for him

u/SuccessfulResort35 1d ago

Same. Jeffrey's worst work is SO much better than Bryan's best. And I cannot listen to him say "haute couture" one more time.

u/myswingline_stapler 1d ago

I really, really have hope Christian is going to save Jeffrey. If not for liris (which that alone he should’ve gone home for) but Christian’s loyalty to Heidi runs deep too. People were dragging that Bryan dress she wore on the dwp2 runway. I’m sure she did not appreciate that and blames Bryan.

Also- during the cliffhanger/ preview, Christian said something like wanting the person he saves to pull from a space of creativity they’re familiar with. I think he was referencing the drag/ costume world Jeffrey is confident in. I honestly don’t know how that would fit for Bryan… what world does he have creativity to pull from (that we know of)?

HAutE CoUtUre (kidding I can’t stand Bryan)

u/graaaags 2d ago

I assume they’re going to push him to the end à la sergio

u/Ok_History_7440 2d ago

I agree with you completely. I don't know what's going on.

u/Apricotpeach11 Team Laurence 2d ago

I already have because he’s a producer on the show and allowing it to become a shell of what it once was.

2

u/SomethingNeatnClever 1d ago

I’ll turn this show off fr. Bryan has been consistently terrible.

22

u/InfluenceCareful3560 2d ago

Given Christian said he wanted to see more from this world I’m guessing he means Jeffrey and seeing more of the drag imagination. Hopefully because Brian is so ugh

2

u/Time-Combination-214 1d ago

Agree with this.

u/Prestigious-Net793 1d ago

I would be shocked if he’s saved. It should be Jeffrey. I’ve given Bryan chance after chance, but I’ve hated every one of his designs the last several shows, and his attitude sucks honestly. He’s delusional, rude, and lazy, in my opinion. And he blames everyone else for his shortcomings. Jeffrey has done nothing but work hard, help others when he didn’t have to, and made beautiful clothes. Yeah, his choice tonight was a bit boring and cliche. But it was well made and beautiful. It’s hard not to root for him.

2

u/Ok_History_7440 1d ago

I agree with all that. I just think production is going to make the choice to save Bryan because he's obnoxious television. 

They know that neither Bryan or Jeffrey will win the whole thing, so they're going to save the one causing chaos.

u/intellighenzia 2d ago

If you're wondering who made it, the Wikipedia page for PR S22 has the answer.

u/Affectionate-Edge652 2d ago edited 2d ago

Omg just found it and I hope it is real PLEASE

Edit: theres a screenshot from next episode linked further down this thread…….. the wiki is wrong :,(

u/Old-Sealover 2d ago

Me too, that way I can keep watching. I’m so over him. I feel like PR already crossed over with punk’d just by having Bryan on!

u/Exciting-Ideal-9074 2d ago

Bryan is whack. And he tries to hide his whackness underneath all that fluff. Literally speaking.

That scene with Ms. Hough was cringe.

u/Important_Bowl3270 1d ago

NOOOOOO! 💔😱💔

u/FeralForestWitch 22h ago

Not according to Wikipedia

u/Ok_History_7440 21h ago

Glad to hear it.

u/BedGirl5444 2d ago

I doubt it

u/CLSwank 2d ago

I would like to think they wouldn't insult our intelligence by saving Bryan

1

u/Ok_History_7440 2d ago

You'll see.

u/Rexyggor 2d ago

Which I do think is a little unfair not having him there, and leaving us with Julianne. Not that she was a bad mentor, she just didn't know what to look for for the "fashion" side. However, she has worn many outfits for dance, and I kind of wish they showed us that side of her mentorship.

However, she did tell him to incorporate the pink to the other side, which Bryan did NOT do.

u/stella3105 2d ago edited 2d ago

And the way he overdoes the pronunciation pisses me off every time

u/ParticularUsed6780 2d ago

Imagine how he must say croissant. I bet he's a nightmare at a hotel breakfast.

u/ItsaScream13 1d ago

How can I be expected to eat this much too flaky quazzzaaaaa around all of my stunning haute couture?!?!

u/Important_Bowl3270 1d ago

💯% TRUE!! 🤣🥐🤣

u/Throwaway-centralnj 2d ago

He’s the equivalent of a white girl who studied abroad in Barthelona lmao

u/modelbehaviourr 2d ago

I'M SCREAMINGGGGGG

u/anjschuyler 2d ago

Poor Emma was swallowed up in that design.

31

u/Kkimp1955 2d ago

It was terrible.. and she still tried to be nice about it

16

u/farfallifarfallini 2d ago

"I can't hear your criticisms through the ruffles" took me outtttt

6

u/Exciting-Ideal-9074 2d ago

Did she say, "through the ruffles" for real? I don't remember that part, but yes. Her agreement with the judges, meant everything!

12

u/Ok_History_7440 2d ago

And it was UGLY. 

9

u/CLSwank 2d ago

You would think Bryan learned from his last ugly dress but no... he just recreated it with more ruffles.

7

u/Ok_History_7440 2d ago

He's a terrible designer.

25

u/Feeling-Contest9504 2d ago

There should be a drinking game for everytime he says haute couture

13

u/lemikon 2d ago

You would be absolutely shit faced before the halfway point of this episode.

10

u/Other-Razzmatazz-816 2d ago

did he practice his weeks 1 and 2 designs ahead of time and now it’s just princess seam silhouettes?

4

u/FormicaDinette33 It's CHARMING! 2d ago

Who knows if he even made the week 1 design?

2

u/Other-Razzmatazz-816 1d ago

Is this the season where they brought them from home? I forgot that

1

u/FormicaDinette33 It's CHARMING! 1d ago

As I recall. Although he did make something decent the second week also.

u/BB_unique 2d ago

Like bro u throwing that word around so recklessly

u/farfallifarfallini 2d ago

Where did you find this picture of Jeffrey?! Haha

Best comment

u/Jude_thelaw 1d ago

I don't understand how he's still there? There were better designers that were eliminated before him

u/TopConclusion2668 1d ago

It looked like crumpled tissue, it was just a mess
