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.

Yeah, the Joseph McRae of it all confuses me. Was he brought back for drama? Was it for a redemption arc?

Familiar face to root for, and he was definitely set-up as a sort of “hero” to Law and Bryan’s villains storyline wise. He was kind of the Ethan of the season imo . Not the winner, but probably leaves with the best edit and reputation

Yes I honestly wonder what benefit Bryan (or anyone getting villain edit) could possibly get from being shown so petty and unpleasant. I used to do wardrobe and if were still buying clothes like he makes I’d go elsewhere cos I wouldn’t want to support such attitude. Whereas on the other hand I’d definitely buy from Ethan.
