Getting the thread ready as Season 8 on Lifetime is starting Thursday, July 29th. The episodes will be 90 minutes ~ Yay! I want to see more of the design and construction time.

Mods, can you please add "Season 8" to the title of this thread? Just so's we don't get confused? :-)

Are they still doing the Models show? Does that mean that BGM will be over by then?

season 8 Project Runway - altogether on GMA for an interview - 2 emmy nominations - "this is the year" you've had 16 nominations!

Dish on the new season - supersizzed 90 minutes! You get to see more of the backstory of the workroom, and you get to see more of the diliberations of all of us -

2 - 3 of the contestants fell out. what happened, we dont make up stuff for the show. it really means you have one day, they thought it was for a tv show. They forget to eat, to drink and they pass out - its so much pressure, they forget. we had a few incidences with a designers

gunn clip - designers I'm going to check on you Casonova there is a lot of skin, is it sexy or is it vulgar? really, it looks awful low in the back. thank you casonova.

the season of the sashay. was last season, this season? Honestly I dont know, they are rather a delicate group they've responded less with the creative and time constraints, less resilient this season.

its a diverse group - a little more fragile - its been hot to be honest with you, the heat is really hard.

a few hours before we throw a challenge.... and they get a little upset. but it keeps it real, the real world those curves are thrown.

I like that the show is 90 minutes, but I'm going to be pissed if they don't have a models show.

I've also grown fond of the models show...

google found a "we're not sure" from popwatch:
http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/06/29/project-runway-episodes-90-minutes/

I’m trying to find out from Lifetime if Models of the Runway will just blend into Runway now. (Tragedy! It’s my favorite poignant reality show!) I’m pretty sure Austin Scarlett and Santino’s half-hour reality series will accompany Runway at 10:30 instead. I’ll update this post if I find out.

WEll I would like to see more of Santino - and I do like Austin- but bring on the MODELS!

Bumping up again as it's 3 days away. I've seen the commercial twice and I really like the commercial. Maybe Lifetime will do the show proper justice this season.

I liked the models show at first and then grew a bit weary of that part.

The review in my paper about this season indicated that the extra 30 minutes of the show are wasted and not what most of us would want to see.. oh I remember, he said that there will be way too much about hairstyles or something like that.

Yuck ~ In other words, they're catering to the make-up and hairstylists this season. I was hoping for more coverage of the actual designing of clothes. Thanks for that bit of info, seamonkey.

I would like to be wrong but this is a guy who has a column in our newspaper and writes about TV and actually watches reality shows and so I think he has preview copies.. so is probably right.

Heh.. he didn't watch the first season of project runway and I bugged him about it and then he got hooked in season 2 and he's like us, not happy with some changes.

I really want to see them design and create the clothing. But then on Design Star I wish we could see much more construction and actual design too.

And I'm like more Trump free (including his Tower) reality shows.

Starts tonight! So, it's always going to be 90 minutes long? I had thought maybe that was only the first episode.

Sea - I'm with you, I want to see more of the clothing construction and design.

Color me confused. There were outfits that were a lot worse than the one that went home. Yes, her styling was off, but at least it was a real dress. WTH was that backwards kimono thing and that belly-dancing hooker outfit? Once again I am completely confounded by the judges.

Nerovh, I totally agree with you. The backwards Kimono, and the unfinished raw edge mess, and these people stayed. It sometimes seems the uglier the better, I guess the people ( meaning me), who don't understand are just too plebeian to appreciate great work, but I do know a mess when I see it.

I enjoyed the show tonight and I completely agreed with the winner tonight. I must admit when the model walked out I thought it looked too normal and too beautiful...the judges would never pick that!

ITA - when they had those 6 I thought for sure the one that went home would just get yelled at for that hairstyle and that stupid bag she paired it with -

They told her they didnt like the side boob - um did they seriously prefer the mess with Casanova - talk about boob leakage!

what happened to that one weird one with all that toulle?

How did they keep the lady that made pants from pants? I dont hold out much hope - they seem to have made up their mind - and I think Casonova will go far! not based on what he produced today tho!

I didn't agree with either the loser or the winner. I thought the winning design was very boring. I wouldn't have looked at it twice.

I was glad they didn't keep Models of the Runway or even include it in the expanded Project Runway show.

I just didn't "get" Models of the Runway. It wasn't even a competition....it was just the models hoping that some designer would allow them to ride their coat tails to the end. Since they couldn't "do" anything but hope they get picked, it was pointless.

In this episode I don't think the judges were voting for the best designer in that 5 hour challenge as much as they were voting for the best designer based on the portfolios they presented at their auditions. The judges implied that they "knew" the 5 or 6 worst designers in that challenge "could do better" so they gave them another chance.

Read the fine print at the bottom of the screen at the end of each episode...it's a disclaimer that says something about how the producers have input in choosing the winner. I'd bet those producers probably just choose the ones that make "good TV", not the best garment.

Casanova doesn't make good tv to me. I don't consider it "good tv" if I can't understand what the guy is saying lol. I guess the judges kept him around for laughs maybe? Like Ping and her bare buttocks outfit.

Ah, what san fran said.. they made it clear that this was just the last phase of the auditions and that one or more could be sent home.

Sure would have sucked to have a thousand dollar pair of pants destroyed AND be sent home!

I thought the last three should go home based on the one competition.

When are they re-running this? I've been looking and looking and haven't found. Thanks for any help.

PS Also haven't been able to find it "on demand" channel yet.

Nerohv, I was surprised that she went home for that dress - considering the other person stayed for the backwards kimono - and of course the girl that made capris out of capris.

And if I remember correctly, Tim actually liked the dress that she was eliminated for.
