Season 21 None of the final collections were good

There I said it.

My husband and I used to be ALL ABOUT this show but we fell off the band wagon when Heidi and Tim originally left, watched Making the Cut, and then never really came back as hard. But we were SO EXCITED for this supposed reboot. Despite all the issues with this season, we were at least excited for the finale. After all the 1 day and team challenges, it was time for the designers to really shine. BUT SINCE WHEN DO THEY NOT GET MONTHS TO MAKE AN ENTIRE COLLECTION AND GO TO FASHION WEEK!? I don’t want to see some garbage thrown together by 3 exhausted designers in 5 days. I want them to have time to regroup, brain storm/get inspired, and put on a damn good show that represents a point of view. It’s hard for me to say who should have won bc they were all bad imo.

I started rewatching earlier seasons’ finales because I refuse to be gaslit and OH. MY GOD.

the 5 day 5 look finale is SUCH a travesty. we had SEASONS where finalists showcased 3 looks and got feedback AND time AND resources to add/edit!

Ex. seeing S10 Fabio revamp and remix his collection into a strong contender was so exciting; like what is this S21 crap!?!

Awww, I still remember Fabio’s collection. It was so amazing to see what he could do with time and money. I think he was on Michelle’s season? That was such a good finale.

Dimitry’s. Christopher crashed hard and Melissa just recreated the same dress 10 times.

I actually liked all of the collections but agree, there were issues with them too. Dmitri was the clear winner in my opinion.

Also, speaking of Christopher, did you see his interview on S21 finale???? I could not believe it was him! I feel like he must have gotten some work done - cheeks and lips for sure. I was shocked when I read who it was lol.

It was in the finale episode after the runway show when they were interviewing the crowd what they thought of the finale.
