Nona Soumy I am a huge fan of Project Runway, and I was missing the show so I decided to give this a try. This show is terrible! I am most disappointed about the judges, especially Mizrahi. I feel like the judges don't know what they like. There are times during the competition when a designer would create similar outfits, and they would mention it but then send the other one home! I am extremely disappointed that Sam lasted as long as he did, and Emily went home. He barely spent time on his garment, and his last few designs were not up to par! It was visible from his critique and the others judges (except Mizrahi) that Sam's look was unresolved and not as well constructed as the others.I am also frustrated that Marlene was picked over Amanda. I have nothing against her, but even the judges noticed she created something very similar and made the same mistakes! If the judges do not push the designers enough to grow, they are going to keep making the same dresses or jumpsuits. I truly feel for the designers that actually worked really hard, and a designer like Kini should be noticed more. He's talented, and even his fellow designers see that. I would give 0 stars, but I have given three stars because there some truly talented designers on this now. What a shame! I think this will be my last All Stars season.

Jessica Edwards This is nothing like the project runway that we all know and love. All Stars this season just ruined it for me with its constant product placements and judges that were so easy to disagree with (with the exception of Nina who only appeared once as a guest judge). My major disappointment in the show was the over use and bad use of product placement. I secretly think that the contestant were being paid every time they mentioned Resource Water with statements such as; "where is my resource water?" Or does anyone have anything to drink, how about Resource Water". It couldn't have been any tackier if it tried. It makes me wonder if there was something in the Resource water that was getting the judges confused about what looked good and what looked bad. 9 times out of 10 they would pick something that looked badly constructed or just flat out the same thing they had picked last week as apposed to something that looked great. I don't think I'll ever bother watching the All Stars again, however, as for the original Project Runway, Tim and Heidi will always have me coming back for more.

Shopaholic35 Project Runway All Stars may not be as good as the original Project Runway but it definitely is able to hold it's own. I would say that the all stars version is more fashion forward. As the designers have had some time to develop their abilities and styles they are better equipped to handle the challenges. The competition feels more fierce and cutting edge.I love that you get an update on your favourite and most hated designers. It's also a second chance for the designers who got robbed (by Heidi's obvious bias and lack of taste) to prove what they can do and shine.I do totally agree though that the show is strongly overused for product placement and endorsements which can be distracting but I guess that's everything in life. Still great reality TV.

mochmochmoch It's filled with all the industry legends of the design world. All these contestants are so lucky to have the ultimate education in the industry to have the mentor and feedback the way they get to have. My only thing is, I hate the host because she feels negative, mean and doesn't feel special like Heidi. At the end when she was dismissing the runner ups she treated them like they were nothing when she should've been celebrating their accomplishments despite the fact that they couldn't get first.Isaac was alittle nice about presenting his crits where the designers didn't seem to get his messages. I really like him in Michael Kor's shoes.The mentor, Johanna Coles is like the best person to fill Tim Gunn's shoes because she's so knowledgeable, respectable, tasteful, warm and a female that more intimidating than Tim. Really great job picking her.Overall, I like how the crits and the contestants came out more refined and civil as opposed to catty, dirty and negative crits can be. but I would've liked to have seen more surprises from the show because especially the last 3 designers worked so hard.
