I would agree with this, if they hadn't left Alexander out of the mix. The fact that they initially did, when he was auf'd right before Korina, shows a flexibility that I haven't seen before, barring someone's illness preventing them from participating. So that's why this felt especially manipulative—Mitchell should…

Sure, a little drama is to be expected, but I watch a bunch of reality TV competition shows, and this sort of heavy manipulation is just not necessary. There's plenty of interesting stuff that comes out of the contestants just working with the hardships of the challenges. I use Face Off as an example, because I cannot…

I enjoyed watching Teresa squirm around whether she would want her brother and Melissa to help with her kids in any way while she is 'away'. Sure, there's Joe's mom and Teresa's parents, but couldn't you let Uncle Joe and Aunt Melissa lend a hand? Guess not. Better to continue the feud.

While it's admirable to defend a friend, she's also a willing contestant on a show that many a "big website" is been covering for 12 previous seasons. This is Jezebel's take on it, last week Tom & Lorenzo's opinion was that the producers were manipulating the outcome to reflect the Tim Gunn Save and Korina had cause…

You are wrong in many ways, about so many things:

I don't know 'em but I do know that her and Amanda being friends in real life doesn't negate that she reacted poorly in that situation. This happens all the time in reality TV, you have an onscreen fallout, then you reach out/apologize/make nice after taping is over, which of course we don't see.

They're all worked hard, stressed, and pushed to work. She is the one who had the meltdown, while everyone else maturely kept their thoughts on Char's numerous saves to themselves. At the end of the day, there is only one winner. I don't think this is picking her apart. It's recapping a meltdown by a reality tv show…

I've watched every single season of this show, and I've never seen a single contestant behave like Korina did. I've seen crying, whining, bitching, and punching cameras, but no one else gave the Project Runway producers Korina's' brand of acrimony to work with. No other cast member, under the exact same pressure,…

Also, "torn to shreds" is overstating

Nope. This is criticizing her reaction and actions on the show. That's all I can go off. I get the frustration and annoyance - like, why are y'all bringing me back after kicking me off

I think the producers, the judges, or both are trying to justify the Tim Gunn Save, which I believe was wasted on personality rather than talent.

Thank you for directing me towards friend_of_hogwarts's comment. It definitely sheds some light on their comments.

I'm preparing myself for some backlash, but I agree with Korina's general comments, though she was a megabitch about it and could have handled things better (and not have attacked Char, because this was not her fault and that was totally uncool). I think the producers, the judges, or both are trying to justify the Tim…

Oh, wow, thanks.

I called in sick once for a mental health day (I was in grad school at the same time) and I didn't leave the house all day for fear I might run into someone from work off from lunch or going to/from work (I lived and worked downtown).

I'm curious about the "many black people" have no African heritage. I mean, I'm probably 5+ generations removed from US slavery, but acknowledge that I am a descendant of an African slaves. Many people in Latin America are also descendants of African slaves. But I'm not sure why you would consider African American a…

/sigh

I get that in a ideal world, where things like race, sexual orientation, or religion aren't used to oppress people. Back in the real world, though, it's clear she has led a very sheltered life that allows her to believe labels don't matter. However, for the average Black American or African American, that is not their…

Ugh. I've watched snippets of that interview and cringed because Raven comes off as kind of standoffish/snooty i.e., not likable. But she's just a badass - and a pretty freakin awesome one.

I find it terribly sad that everyone doesn't get what raven was saying with her comments about being called an African American.
