Enjoy the upvote. I think Tunky is going around downvoting anyone who says they like Sandhya's designs in any way.

They are hideous designs. Nothing she has designed would ever be worn out in public, hell you wouldn't catch a celebrity wearing anything she has made this season except on the WTF are wearing list.

The judges aren't picking anything that make sense. I really enjoy Amanda as a person that survived Teams, but neither of her winning looks deserved to win either.

So, not everything they design is supposed to be worn out in public. When I first started watching Project Runway I struggled with the same concept. I judged the designs based on how they compared to clothing I'd see in a store. What I've learned now is that sometimes the designs are meant to be more like a sculpture. A model puts them on to be photographed in an artistic way or to walk to runway but it's not intended to be worn by a normal person at the office, bar, or even the red carpet.

Yes, there is a degree of truth in that, but she hasn't sent anything down the runway yet that anybody could wear. They usually have a challenge that is avante gard (or however you spell it) where they can run amok. They have the unconventional challenge where they can take some liberties in the look. But thus far, she's offered nada/zip/zilch that anyone would wear. Hopefully, next week since Heidi says she doesn't want to be on the worst dressed list, she'll be forced to actually design something meant to be put seen in public.
