'Project Runway': Sergio is rude to judge Cyndi Lauper and fans butcher the designer's outfit online
Sergio Guadarrama has turned out to be one of the most popular contestants of 'Project Runway' this season and for no good reason.
Even though his design skills are on point, the Texas boy has a hard time communicating without sounding or being rude. There's no way to know if that's how he is or is it just for the show, but Sergio has managed to put multiple people off with his attitude.
Mentor Christian Siriano has often found himself at the receiving end of Sergio's "arrogant" comments. The latest entrant is guest judge Cyndi Lauper, who was patiently explaining what she thought went wrong with the designer's final piece when she got told off.
Fans found Sergio's behavior extremely disrespectful and decided to troll his works online.
"Sergio is so stubborn. The fact that he cant take feedback is why...no one knows who he is in the industry. Also - your outfit was ugly & not even my mother or grandmother would wear any of it & they have taste #ProjectRunway #Bye," a user wrote.
Another tweeted: "The judges talked all that smack about Sergio and still won’t send him and that ugl-ass outfit home. #ProjectRunway," "No harmony in the outfit ... just like the team. Hm I wonder why...Sergio you led them, you should be out. #ProjectRunway," a user posted online.
When asked to elaborate on his punk-pop 1980s inspired outfit, Sergio explained that because he is an eveningwear designer, this week's challenge was a tad out of his comfort zone. However, he was extremely pleased with what he had created but judges didn't seem to agree.
Nina Garcia said it didn't connect in any way — shape or form, calling it "puzzling." She added that the ruffles and pants were confusing for her. Meanwhile, Cyndi remarked: "It's a lot of different things happening all at once and I'm no one to talk. But this, I would never wear."
Sergio was visibly taken aback by the judges' feedback and responded conceitedly. "I tend to dress women 40 and up. So a little bit older. So all my stuff is going to look more sophisticated. Even if you don't agree, that's who pays my bills. So, that's who dictates my designs. If you like it, if you don't, that's not my problem," he said.
Fans were so upset with the comment that they wanted him out. But, there's a segment of viewers who believe Sergio is here to stay because of all the drama he brings to the show.
