Bones Jones has been eliminated in Project Runway Episode 12, leaving fans disappointed. They wanted Kristina Kharlashkina to leave the show, but she was once again saved by the judges.
The latest episode of Season 19 consisted of a tough challenge, where there was no runway show. The designers had to create designs for an editorial photoshoot, and their muse was supermodel Coco Rocha.
While all the photos looked spectacular, Jones, Kharlashkina, and Chasity Sereal didn’t entirely impress the judges. The panel felt that Sereal’s look was not meant for an editorial photoshoot and didn’t bring out the princess-evil theme she was going for. Kharlashkina’s choice of prop was a no-go for the judges, while Jones’ vision was not clearly delivered through his design.
Fans want Kristina Kharlashkina to go home
Going by fans’ reactions, they feel that judges are biased toward Kharlashkina. She has been saved multiple times even after delivering non-satisfactory results in previous episodes.
Even in the latest episode, the judges were not entirely impressed with her look. Nina Garcia initially said she was "offended," but while making the decision, she found Kharlashkina’s look modern and different from other designers due to the color contrast factor.
Viewers wanted Kharlashkina to go home and thought that Jones deserved to stay longer on the show. One fan pointed out that he might have been eliminated because Rocha didn’t appreciate working with him. Another said that Kharlashkina has been designing similar looks throughout the show.
Here’s how netizens reacted:
‘Project Runway’ Season 19 gets its final four
After the recent elimination, only four designers are left to compete for Season 19’s title. The final four are Sereal, Kharlashkina, Shantall Lacayo, and Coral Castillo.
In the next episode, they have to create a look that can be showcased in a fashion show. Only time will tell whether the four ladies will survive the pressure.
Meanwhile, the top runner is Lacayo, who won Episode 12’s challenge, leaving her with four wins throughout the season. Lacayo was shown vulnerable in the latest episode, where she felt left out among her fellow designers.
The panel of judges includes Nina Garcia, Elaine Welteroth, and Brandon Maxwell, alongside Christian Siriano as mentor.
The new episode of Project Runway will air next Thursday, January 27, at 9.00 pm ET on Bravo.
