The roller-coaster ride is over for Merline Labissiere. During her eight episodes on “Project Runway All Stars” she had what might have been the most inconsistent run for any contestant on the show. But that ended in “Mizrahi Madness” when the judges threw her off that roller coaster at top speed. She was eliminated in eighth place. Do you think the judges made the right call? Scroll down to vote in our poll at the bottom of this post.
Perhaps Labissiere’s ouster is actually overdue. After “Fashion’s New Superheroes” our readers thought she should have been eliminated instead of Amanda Valentine. Then in “Thrown for a Loop by Betty Boop” she was also our readers’ choice for elimination, but it was Char Glover who was sent packing. I’ll admit, though, that I agreed with the judges this time around after a few weeks of what I thought were dubious selections — for instance,...

After starting with 16 contestants, season 6 of “Project Runway All Stars” was down to 8 going into episode 8, “Mizrahi Madness.” So the stakes were twice as high, and the designers needed to work twice as hard to win the judges’ approval. Who won the design challenge, who was eliminated, and who do you think will win the season when all is said and done? Scroll down for our live, minute-by-minute report of episode eight as it happens.
Isaac Mizrahi is a judge on “All Stars,” but in “Madness” he was also the contestants’ inspiration. The designers had to create colorful party looks inspired by a Mizrahi exhibit, so they not only had to win his approval, they had to try to live up to his work. And joining the panel to evaluate those party designs was another legend of the fashion industry, 86-year-old supermodel Carmen Dell’Orefice.
