I have really mixed emotions over PR-All Stars
I’m mostly really excited. I love seeing what Mondo and Rami can whip up. Kara and Gordana are also amazing, but don’t really have the personality necessary to keep us interested. Amfernee (our term of endearment) and Jarell have so much personality that we completely forget about their designs.
I’m excited that April and Mila are back. April was an amazing designer, but a bit one-note (hopefully she’ll surprise us.) Mila was the same way, but I think she has a fighting chance because her aesthetic is so different than the other designers which allows her to stand out this season.
I really like Sweet P’s aesthetic, but I doubt she’ll stay around for long. She just doesn’t have the competitive spirit.
I never know what to think of Austin Scarlett. He’s so elf-like, like the elves who come out at night to help the cobbler make shoes. However, the mustache is ruining that image for me.
And what the hell is Michael C. doing back? I know some people really like him, but I simply don’t understand it. (This will come increasingly obvious as the weeks pass) A
nd Elisa? Was anyone surprised when she was the first one out?
This season will most likely be, like season five, my roller coaster relationship with Kenley. Half of the time I love the pieces she puts out, the other half of the time I have no idea what she’s doing. When she speaks she’s a hot mess and it teeters between amazing and crazy.
Based on designs, I’m rooting for Rami. When judged on a combination of design and personality, I’m rooting for Kenley.
Of the 13 designers…
Whose work I’m really excited to see: Rami Kashou, Mondo Guerra, Gordana Gehlhausen, and April Johnston. (However, Mila Hermanovski’s portfolio piece was pretty astounding, and it makes me want to see more of her.)
Those I’m pretty stoked to invite back into my life: April, Sweet Pea and Kenley Collins.
Lame duck designers who I hope are able step up surprise us: Sweet Pea, Kenley, and Jarell Scott
Designers who I feel are back on the show mainly for their personalities: Amfernee, Austin Scarlett, Kenley Collins, Elisa Jimenez
Those who have little television presence but are the most talented: Kara Janx, Rami Kashou, Mondo Guerra, and Gordana Gehlhausen
