While they helmed a new design competition called <em>Making the Cut<\/em>, Season 4 winner Christian Siriano filled Gunn&#8217;s mentor shoes, and a whole bunch of other personalities tried to fill Klum&#8217;s heels. But let&#8217;s face it\u2014there&#8217;s nothing like hearing Klum say, &#8220;You&#8217;re out&#8221; in her thick German accent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/tv\/project-runway-season-21-2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:for Season 21, Project Runway got a new home;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">for Season 21, <em>Project Runway <\/em>got a new home<\/a> on Freeform as well as a new host.

While the early seasons were focused on the designers&#8217; construction and creativity, this season has so far been centered around conflicts and critiques. &#8220;All the manufactured drama, the expletives and the gratuitous rudeness\u2026 I was totally turned off and do not plan to watch any more episodes as long as this BS is going on,&#8221; one disappointed fan wrote on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/ProjectRunway\/comments\/1mpm7ir\/what_happened_to_project_runway_s21\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Reddit;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Reddit<\/a>. Another commenter put it succinctly: &#8220;It&#8217;s turned into Real Housewives of the Runway.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Another controversial twist came this season: the elimination is now shown at the beginning of the next episode, forcing viewers to wait a week after watching the challenge to see who goes home. &#8220;All this drama is built up as we head toward the end of the show \u2014 who will be sent home???&#8221; a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/ProjectRunway\/comments\/1mm6g9p\/worst_part_about_the_end_cliffhanger\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Redditor;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Redditor<\/a> wrote. &#8220;And then the show ends and now it\u2019s a week later and you know what?
