"Kristina needs to go": 'Project Runway' fans react after judges eliminate Anna Yinan Zhou

Project Runway Season 19 released its tenth episode that invited the cast of the Real Housewives series. After creating gorgeous designs for the ladies’ reunion, the Bravo show bid goodbye to designer Anna Yinan Zhou.

The elimination round included Zhou and Kristina Kharlashkina in the bottom two. Both failed to impress judges with their designs, leading to Zhou’s elimination from the show.

Some viewers agreed with the decision and believed the designer had been out of her game for the past few episodes. However, a few fans argued that Zhou outdid Kharlashkina in Episode 10.

Dr. Wendy Osefo from The Real Housewives of Potomac was Kharlashkina’s client and the two didn't appear to have great chemistry. While Kharlashkina cried during the process, Osefo claimed that she wanted a gown instead of a pantsuit.

When the judges asked about what went wrong, they threw each other under the bus. Kharlashkina claimed that it was difficult to work with Osefo, and the latter said that she didn’t want to wear this outfit to the reunion.

Project Runway fans called out Kharlashkina for fake crying and slammed judges for choosing her over Zhou:
