The All-Stars this year.... I don’t know, at first it seems more like All-Bitches. You’ve got Joshua McKinley, who’s out of the gate with his ridiculous eyebrows and insult for Anya. So yeah, he’s still dead to me. Emilio Sosa, who had so much attitude during his season; Althea, from Season 6, who I don’t remember because I was spared her season; and Anthony Ryan from Season 9, who was actually pretty nice. Then, there’s Rayon from Season 5. We’re not ready for this. Ivy from Season 8 is here and I can’t tell if she’s gained self-awareness or not from her first little moments. Peach is there too! I so badly want her to be good at this. Casanova is there and he apparently works for Ivy. Hmm. Uli from Season 3! She looks amazing and I still remember how amazing her collection was. Everybody’s line is that they were robbed during their season. Kayne of Many Colors is with us again, as are his apparently multiple cosmetic procedures. Y’all, he does more than pageants. Andrae from Season 2! Hell. Yes. And Wendy Pepper. Andrae calls her a Disney villain, which is perfect. She’s still not here to make friends and all that.
Carolyn Murphy is the host! I LOVE HER. She looks gorgeous. She tells the designers that, in addition to the normal prizes, the winner will get flown to all of the various Fashion Weeks around the world. The total of all of the prizes is over $750 grand. Hello. Joanna Coles is the mentor again. God, everyone is wearing such ridiculous clothing to begin. Joanna tells them that they are going to be on teams for the first challenge. This is such great news. They pick their teams and Wendy is the last picked… or the not-picked. They have to make a cohesive collection as a team and the theme is attitudes. Althea is bossy. Her team is going with Bold as their attitude. Joshua’s team is Confident. Poor Peach gets pushed around immediately on Team Confident and I really wish she were able to throw that stuff off. Joanna also tells Anthony Ryan to not be crazy precious. She talks to Ivy about how she was a total bitch to her the last time she tried to talk to her and Ivy blames it on her personal life at the time. Ivy interviews that she was so stressed that she wasn’t herself.
Joshua is in love with Wendy Pepper. It has maybe softened her? Scary.
Laura and Andrae don’t really seem like they like each other. Casanova thought that Kayne’s look resembled a drag queen outfit.
On the runway, Carolyn introduces Georgina Chapman, Isaac Mizrahi and Rachel Roy. Mondo is also a judge. During the show, Emilio is great. So is Rayon? I don’t know, it was cool. Joshua’s look was acceptable. For the team, Ivy was OK. Wait- all of Team Confident was pretty cool, except for Kayne’s, which was pretty trashy. Uli’s look was gorgeous. Team Confident is the winner! Casanova and Anthony Ryan have the highest scores! Laura, on the other team, had the actual highest score on her team.
Georgina loved the lace and leather of Casanova’s look, though they wished it had been younger. The judges think that Rayon’s skirt was sloppy. Peach gets assassinated by the judges for not speaking up more. They HATE Andrae’s look. Ultimately, Mondo argues for Andrae’s argument for his garment, which was cool. In the end, Anthony Ryan was the winner. Rayon is safe, which is totally lame. Andrae gets to continue and poor Peach has to go home. Boo.
