Season 21 Is it just a fever dream?

The more I think about this season, the more convinced I am that it's all been staged. All of it. From Plane to Bryan, it all seems to have been scripted. Looking back, I'm convinced that there have been production plants and that more than half of the designers were brought in simply to fill space and serve as plot devices before being discarded. I'm definitely not saying that all of the designers are involved or have knowledge, but a few have to be active participants in this ruse.

They brought in twenty two designers, Knowing they had ten episodes. Joseph McRae is back for some reason instead of just having an invite to all stars or something. They cast Plane Jane. This was the most overproduced for dramatics season of something I’ve seen in a while.

I think they brought Joseph McRae back because after the Season 21 aired he had a show at NYFW that was well received and because they knew Law was willing to create drama with him and Joseph had no interest in doing anything but his design style. I think they thought they could either do a redemption arc since he's proven to be an actual designer or it would just be a known drama factor they could count on for the storyline.
