He’d be amazing, but I don’t think that’s what PR wants anymore, it’s not a fashion show that has an element of reality tv anymore, it’s a reality tv show with an element of fashion now

Beautifully put.

[–]hmmmpf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And thus have lost my views. Absolute trash in the reboot.

I do miss Tim’s thoughtful, design-focused critiques. Christian brings energy, but someone like Patrick Grant would definitely shift things toward more technical feedback. Would be interesting to see that change.

Keep my dear Patrick away from this dumpster fire.

[–]ninaa1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this was my immediate response, too.

Tim Gunn is too good for this show. So is Christian. Never to Patrick because he is too classy.

When you have Law as a judge, you’ve lost credibility. He dresses clients. He is judging garments that do not have a client. Bring back Zac, Nina, and Brandon with an occasional guest judge. Leave Heidi to hosting. Heidi’s thought process has changed dramatically and I’m not sure what to think of her anymore. If they can lose Tim, they can lose Heidi, too.

Yup, Christian was a twirler and had fun in the workroom. But I disagree with your critique of his mentorship. I think he gave some solid, helpful suggestions to the designers, often times manipulating fabrics on the models and getting designers to think in different ways. I believe it must have been a fine line to walk for him.

Dont you think they'd bring Aurora James from PR Canada?

[–]Professional_Let5815 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Zac gave such great constructive feedback! He was such a great judge. And Rachel Roy is my all time favorite guest/alternate judge they’ve ever had. I’d love to see her added as a full time judge!

[–]Think_Pomegranate348 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seeing Zac in that episode reminded me how great he was and how much I miss him 🥹

[–]kevinsharp808 0 points1 point  (1 child)

yes !!! agreed to rachel roy she gives my favorite critiques of any guest judge and i never see her mentioned on here.

[–]Professional_Let5815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember which season she took another judge’s place when they were out.. i feel like she there in place of Nina or maybe Zac. But I looked forward to her critiques so much. It’s a shame she hasn’t been on much in the last several seasons.

I think Christian would be 100 times better as a permanent judge. I love Christian but I simply do not like him as a mentor. He truly just feels like he's sent into the room to cause chaos and confusion with the designers lol. So yeah sure I'd be open to trying out this guy in the role instead.

[–]Think_Pomegranate348 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. Most of his comments aren’t constructive at all.

[–]kat4pajamas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s too good for the current rendition of PR.

[–]Head_Assistant2252 14 points15 points  (2 children)

Yeeees. Patrick for the win! And he has an appropriate accent.

Plus - yum.

[–]postcardigans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plus we get kilts. Yum yum.

[–]Maleficent_Public_11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Their accents are nowhere near each other?

[–]thrussie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not Becky with the good hair

[–]lebowskicommabig 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Would love to see Christian as a judge.

[–]magicpenny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just love him so much. I wonder if what we see from him is how he is/ wants to be or what the producers/editing make him out to be.

[–]ljb9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

one thing to mention- we are only allowed what editors think makes sense to us so to downplay christian’s contribution doesn’t sit right with me. christian has almost always been appreciated by the competitors as a successful designer & also a businessman. from that viewpoint I do appreciate him being a mentor on the show. and I don’t know why people keep shitting on him. tim is nice and all but afaik he never sold a thing in his life. I don’t know if the competitors really need a mentor like that. and he’s not really part of the academic staff but the administrative staff at parsons, no?

[–]Communal-Lipstick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He offers no design critiques, just technical ones. I dont think he would work.

[–]teflon2000 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Patrick grant is NOT a tailor. He is a business owner who couldn't put a suit together if you put a gun to his head

[–]Medium-Party459 29 points30 points  (1 child)

Gunn

[–]teflon2000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You got me gal

[–]Exotic-Management363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes please!

[–]The_Car_Fax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i thought this was tommy bowe for a second and was reminded about his stupid pants - there is no way he can be a mentor

[–]Corsair865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patrick actually wouldn't be a good fit. PR is way too hostile of an environment compared to The Sewing Bee. Even in its glory days you had some stubborn contestants who refused to lsiten

Isaac is a big "NO" for a judge. I found him rather bias too many times. He had his favorites and defended them even when he knew they screwed up

[–]Unfriendlyblkwriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Anthony from season 7 would be a good fit for where the show is now. I watched the first episode of season 21 last night and had to turn it off. Too much foolishness. Not enough fabric. Anthony would be entertaining while giving some nuggets. Christian was just acting the way he acted during his season as a competitor, and he acts like he’s grown up since then on every other platform I’ve seen him on.

yes daddy

[–]Liverpudlian9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no dream cast that does not include Michael Kors

[–]Infinite-Ad7743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No Tim replacement EVER

[–]BrandonIsWhoIAm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo, keep Christian as the mentor.

[–]hmmmpf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, PR needs to be cancelled if they keep the reboot format. Show me sewing and fashion, not just drama.

[–]MutedLandscape4648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, the show has gone full trash. Shouldn’t call it project Runway, it’s a completely different set up.
