The Official Project Runway Summer Season thread!

I am sitting here re-watching the season finale to Project Runway season one and I am getting REALLY excited about season two starting on Wednesday. I think the show is brilliant, and one of the best "reality" type shows ever produced. I especially like the dual eliminations with both designers and models losing one representative each episode. I only hope they throw in some designs for men here and there - even if it's only a couple of challenges during the season. Anyone else getting geared up for Wednesday?

What time does it air? Is it still on Bravo? (isn't that where it was?) I'm embarrassed to say that on Weds. I must watch America's top model and then Martha Stewart's Apprentice, but those two shows are almost over for the season. I loved season one of runway and don't want to miss this season!

Jane - it is on Bravo, and it is at 10:00 pm on Wednesdays. The season one opener this week is on for two hours.

Oh, I'm so bummed about this. I don't get Bravo at my new place. I watched all of last season religiously. Maybe I can watch the repeats when I'm back home. Or get someone to tape them for me. Hmm...

this was my favorite show of last seson.
tim gunn is my idol -- ok--one of my idols.
heidi is a tool. will she actually interact with people and effect the show this season?
i hope they march daniel right out the door tout de suite!

I totally agree about Daniel. I am curious however as to why he is back in the first place. Was there some dispute over his dismissal last season that was not aired? It looks to me that Nina Garcia and Michael Cors get extremely bitchy this season - like a tribute to Simon Cowell.

i have no respect for michael kors as a designer -- among other things, he took jessica simpson to the costume institute gala as his "muse". but, he is a fun reality show guest.

Okay - what did everyone think? I actually liked Daniels designs - sad but true. There are a lot of things that seem differentthis season, especially with Klum and Kors and Garcia being much more vocal about their feelings in judging.

Oh, HERE is where everyone is!
I was a little turned off by whatsisname's teary breakdown.....hippy guy's designs are cool but he seems like an arrogant bastard and--as I stated on my misbegotten thread--I can smell his bad breath practically through the television.
Daniel has kind of grown on me, and his designs have totally improved. He's sort of anxious in a way that I think is kind of sweet.

Yes Santino scares me - although his work is good, I think there is going to be some drama around him especially because he seems to be vocal back to Klum and Garcia next week too. I think Chloe may throw down with him too - the look on her face when he came into the room and said " They just did not want to give me two in a row" after she won the challenge was priceless.

I think the crying thing was an exhaustive reaction - he admitted to being tired and nervous, not making excuses because it was unprofessional - I hope he does not continue with that though. I would bounce him in a minute if he does - regardless of his work.

This season won't be as good without Wendy Pepper.

oh honey, there will be psychos a-plenty. a veritable cavalcade of koo-koos, trust me.

I can already tell that I'm gonna be a huge Chloe fan, how fab was that blue and black dress she made?! And I hate to say it but I love Santino...sorry =)

[cheezedoodle]

Okay - so who is the chick with the magnet dress? She is soooo not a designer. I mean from a fashion perspective. I still don't get how she ended up on there. And the really tall guy - Emmett? He does nothing for me at all.

There are some good designers this season, but boy, could they have picked any more mentally unstable gay men?

[TheHumanTorch]

Posted: 12/9/05 at 6:21pm

he may be a bitch... but Santino is definately the most talented designer there (so far)

[Jane2]

Posted: 12/9/05 at 11:03pm

I have to go along with the Santino fans. I mean I loved his dress-by far it was the best. But I'm not wild about the way he's coming off so far. The bad breath comment was great, borstal boy, haha!

Any idea who the "fashion icon" that they have to dress in the next episode will be?

Oh, and it has been bothering me all day. Austin Scarlett looks exactly like an actress I've seen in a could of movies on DVD lately, but I couldn't come up with a name until now: Juliet Stevenson. (She played the lesbian health teacher in Mona Lisa Smile and the homophobic mother in Bend It Like Beckham.) It's like they were separated at birth.
