http://www.lifenetwork.ca/ontv/titledetails.aspx?titleid=102316 Project Catwalk---For those Canadians (sorry not sure if you can get it in the States) who enjoy the British version, it starts Monday night, 10pm or 1am on Slice (I think that is what Life changed to)

Thanks for directing me Jasper. I watched the first episode last night and REALLy enjoyed it! They gave each fashion designer an outfit to wear for that evenings festivities; meeting the models. Then the next day they told them they had to make a dress for this famous socialite out of their clothes from the previous night!! There are some real party animals and some that take the show 'very' seriously. I'm looking forward to next weeks show. Oh ya, I was also pleasantly surprised that Kelly was as good a host as she was.

I watched it, too. So far, I was disappointed with the calibre of designs, but I'll give it time. And I also didn't dislike Kelly Osborne as host, but she lacks credibility to me and I couldn't get past the fact that she was nothing more than a "host reading lines." Where on Project Runway, while Heidi Klum may be just "a host reading lines" you don't feel that way because she has some credibility. But I'll certainly keep on watching. My DVR is set. LOL at the fetishwear dude in his wig and high heels at judging.

Ya, fetishwear dude is something else! lol I think he'll go far if just for the drama. He was one of the 'partyers'. The woman from Australia with the black hair who sleeps in the mens rooma and snores....what did the judges say was wrong with her outfit? I seem to have missed it.

They didn't talk with either her or fetishwearman on the catwalk at the end, which sorta bummed me out, too.

Wayne - the big guy with the heels, mohawk and pin thru his gob, he is going to be pure entertainment. But I thought their designs sucked. Hello have you not watched the last two seasons, I'm surprised that they did not have a clue that they were going to have to use their outfits. The right person definitely went home. Miz, they never commented on Monika's (Aussie) outfit. And correct me if I'm wrong, did Kelly not say they were going to pick models alphabetically? Since when does Grant come before Giles and Monika after Wayne? Ben de Lisi seemed to be practically holding their hands and directing the designers. I do like him though and the one judge, Julian is such a snark but is so right on with his comments Overall I enjoyed it and Kelly is not so bad, but I think she is trying to be nicer than Liz who always shot from the hip.

I thought the same thing Jasper about the alphabetization! And I thought Liz Hurley wasn't bad as a host -- I think there must have been some behind-the-scenes reason either dealing with her or contract-wise to replace her.

I always liked Liz too Yankee. You are so right Jan, and a kilt pin from the look of it, ouch! I am sending you a big cyber hug, I feel like I haven't been posting in the same threads as you since CI last year.

Anyone watch last night? What did you think of Wayne's red boots?!! LOL I loved how he said,"IT's not my best work but hopefully my boots will distract them." ROFLMAO Monika was sure daring to leave her bathing suit a one piece even after the designer told her the job was to make a bikini. I think they'll keep her just for the drama. I wasn't surprised that guy got the boot, the designer had to help him again this episode.

I hate to say that I'm not too impressed with the contestants on this year's Catwalk. It seems to have been casted more for personality than talent so far. Which bums me out because I thought Catwalk (last season) seemed "real" and gritty. Julien Macdonald -- while I usually love him -- was really mean last night.

Jan, it will repeat on Saturday. Yankee - Julian seems downright vicious with his comments and very personal (I mean look who is talking about someone else's hair!) I was glad in a way that Monika got her own back but I think it will come back to bite her on the bum. At this point I'm still not sure who's who, they seem to be focusing on the biggest personalities, Monika and our crossdressing friend Wayne, did you see him in the background of the preview? I thought it was Marilyn Manson for a split second. So far I am as unimpressed with the designs as I am with the briefs though. I always figure the first few eps are the newlywed phase and I have to give everyone a chance to settle in. Miz - I don't know how he managed to stay upright in those boots!

Well the right person left. I am still having a bit of a nightmare at how Wayne looked as a woman. So far, I'm not sure what anyone else thinks but none of them seem to have the talent of prior seasons of both Runway and Catwalk. Did you see the ads for the Canadian Runway for the fall?

Agree with you, Jasper that the talent pool in this bunch seems ... lacking ... compared to others. I'm disappointed.

I think my VCR cut the end off?? Last I saw the judges critiquing the dresses. Who won this week? Who were the bottom 2? Who had to leave the catwalk this week?

The really young white guy from the east end left- i forget his name - mainly because they are all so forgettable. i just watched it to two hours ago and I don't remember. When fatz won , I had to rewind to see what dress she did - and then still found it meaningless.  PS and why did she win? wasn't it Luke's design???

It was Luke's design with Fatz help and it was black and white I think with a sequined corset top??? I don't know about any website - maybe someone else has it???

I did a search but couldn't find one. None of the dresses were very memorable to me except how flashy Wayne and Monika's were. I hardly recognized Wayne in drag! He did a good job!

I'm really still unimpressed with the quality of design in this show. I hate to keep saying negative stuff, but there you have it. I wouldn't have chosen ANY of those dresses for a day at the races. Blech!

I agree Yank - but then they were only allowed 10 hours for the whole thing! I have seen some pictures of their fashion shows though and I wasn't impressed there either ( this show was seen in UK a while ago so you can find out the winner if you want to know. I checked it out but don't read if you don't want to know
