I think the problem with this season is that they didnt audition for talent as much as for personality. They tried to create another formulaic reality show with obnoxious people with over inflated egos (Irina, Nicolas), a hunk , an ex junkie, middle aged woman, all designed to create conflict. It wasn't about the creations.

I was not wowed by any of the creations on that show and in my view there were folks who never should have made the cut (qristyl). My favorite this season was Ra'mon. Most of them would have been the first booted out in any other season of Project Runway. The producers need to go back to just doing a competition and not a reality show

The next season starts in mid-January, but the commercial didn't say whether or not it was back in New York. But they did advertise Michael and Nina, so maybe they'll both be back full-time.

I think the camera work on the runway was bad, too in the final, especially when Carol's clothes were shown. The camera was everywhere except on the clothes. I watch the whole show mainly waiting for the runway portion and I was totally disappointed.

I was so disappointed when I read a spoiler that said Irina had won, I deleted my recording of the Project Runway finale. I could not bear the thought of seeing her gloat one more time. It would hsve been okay, but I never saw what the judges saw in her designs. Yuck!

I agree with Knightpatti-the camera was all over the place.

I finally watched the finale last night, and I must ask...what exactly was going on with the huge bang curl on the guest judge? I certainly have my bad hair days, and I do live in the midwest so maybe I'm "out of touch" with all the latest hair fads. But really now.

I did not get that hairdo, either. Her hair was very distracting.

That bang curl gave me the heebie-jeebies. It was just plain creepy.

I was thinking the bang curl judge may have just gotten back from a date with Ben Stiller.

I finally decided to watch the finale, before I deleted it, and I have to say... Carol Hannah was robbed. I loved almost all of her outfits. They had color, they had movement, they were well done. I loved her final dress, and the 13th one, also, as well as the first. I would wear a lot of Carol Hannah's collection. I loved the way the draping moved. Very feminine, too.

While Irina's collection was cohesive, it was ALL BLACK. Whether it really was cohesive or not would be totally masked by the ALL BLACK! Plus, there seemed to be a lot of the same style thing... short top/skirt over leggings/boots. I would wear maybe one piece. Of course they all looked the same, so pick one any one.

I was not at all impressed with Althea's. I hated those pants, her 13th outfit. Not every woman can wear those. They were ugly and reminded me of MC Hammer. I didn't really like much of anything she did except the last, long dress. Nothing made me sit up and take notice. And the color palette was boring.

I'm glad I watched, though, cuz I'm gonna be on the lookout for Carol Hannah's designs.

Anyone know why PR was traded to Lifetime? Thought about looking through these threads to try and see some news on it, but I must admit I'm too lazy. *hangs head in shame*

Is it silly to be a little...I wouldn't say upset exactly, that sounds like a bit much but I guess I am put off that PR now belongs on Lifetime, to me Bravo has proven to put out high quality competitive reality shows and I will always see this as a Bravo show.

I liked Carol Hannah's best, too. It was so whimsical. I am not sure she should have beat Irina because I did see the talent and cohesiveness in Irina's, but on a personal, subjective level, I adored Carol Hannah's by far the most.

I didn't like Althea's at all. I was really disappointed in hers. I was stunned she beat Carol Hannah.

I never was a fan of Althea's. Not in her designs nor in her behavior. Earlier on when Irina wasn't winning much, I couldn't stand how bitchy Althea would get with Nicolas and the way they would whisper and gossip and trash Irina and not just her either!! I just felt that Althea was the biggest trash talker about everyone, always airing her opinion and judging everyone else. It bothered me.

Oh and then there were a few weeks in there (when there were very few designers left) and Althea was acting like BFF with Irina! And I was just like give me a break!

So I never did like her. Irina's cockiness/arrogance irked me a lot but at the same time I had to grit my teeth and give her credit a lot of the time because from what I could tell she DID do solid work. She seemed to work hard the whole amount of time for each challenge and her work always looked well put together and well designed.

So in the end, I wasn't a huge fan of Irina's but I think she did deserve the win.

Carol Hannah. Hmmmm. IDEK. My sister watches with me and she was a big fan of hers but I never could see it. I never thought any of her designs grabbed my eye or interested me. But I did think she was the nicest girl out of the three.

Hi Trueheart, Heidi Klum and The Weinstein Company are the owners and executive producers of the show. They had to pay an undisclosed sum to NBC/Universal to move the show from Bravo to Lifetime.

Here's a link about Project Runway:

There's something strange going on with NBC since it's been in the news that Comcast wants to buy controlling interest in it. They are worried because of the percentage Comcast would own of programs on the air, they would have a lot of control over what those of us on different services would see. For instance, Comcast has gotten rid of Versus which showed Indy cars, the Tour de France, etc., so thier subscribers have been complaining. However, if they get control of enough of the material available, they could put the brakes on shows at will. I'm not explaining it that well,but if you just type in NBC/Comcast, you'll get the info. NBC appears to be in rough shape so I can see why they'd want to hang onto PR among other shows and if they couldn't, they'd want payment.

YAY!! Hopefully that will mean Nina and Michael back as full-time judges and some consistency.

Oh agree Teach! I want Nina and Michael back full time too. I was not a fan of the revolving door of guest judges last season. I found I disagreed with many of their opinions and I just don't trust anyone else to judge adequately like I do Nina and Michael.

Does anyone else watch Project Runway Canada ?
Iman is the hostess, glamourous and sophisticated as usual.
Tonight was the finale of Season Two (a rerun) and Sunny Fong won, really classy collection. Even Iman was saying she wanted some of the pieces.

I just saw the first episode, friend had a publiccity copy. Nina, Michael are the judges first episode and Nicole Ritchie is as well. Great group of designers this season. Heidi is pregnant.
