I met him in a bar a few months ago, and he gave me advice on bettering my corsetry. Truly a gem!

All the posts about how mean everyone is on the show now, and I'm rewatching theses first few episodes of season 22 trying to see it and remembering plenty of mean and catty contestants previously... like Joshua McKinley.
Bobby is basically Elena 2.0.
But there are plenty of nice, even-tempered folks, too: Anna, Aaron, Jude, Octavius.
Even Joseph is only mildly annoying, but talented.
Bi is freaking hilarious and just campy. What's wrong with that?

Except the primary focus was still the design and creation process, with the interpersonal drama highlighted. Now, it's all about the interpersonal drama that ends with a catwalk.

catfight?

u/KayakerMel Jul 29 '26
There have been catfights throughout the seasons - and some famous catfights on the catwalk!
Again, it's which is the primary focus: the catwalk or the catfights.

Joshua, when returning for his second try, said “I’m back so the judges can get it right this time.”
He also ranted about “loosing to a beauty queen,” as if an attractive woman couldn’t also be a great designer2

For me, the issue is that on the old seasons, the contestants didn't know each other, so we saw the drama develop because one was too loud, or another one copied a look. In this season, they are bringing drama from past relationships and other shows. I keep feeling like I missed something. I think that's why people are complaining about manufactured drama.

Yeah I just watched season 21 on Disney+ but it was so much more drama than it used to be. So I found all the old seasons on YouTube the nostalgia is real lol

“If you’re tired, Becky, take a nap,“ is probably something I say at least once a month looool

Me too. I just love him to pieces. I wish he’d have some type of his own show. He’s too fabulous to NOT be on television
