That last one was crap, LA runway bad. And Lifetime's way of promoing it is very annoying. I hope there isn't a lot of crying. So far, the winning dress was pretty nice.
I couldn't watch past the first few episodes of season 6 - it just sucked. And I think I'm done with it. Seasons 2-5 were great, but perhaps it's time to move on.
I didn't like the last season - they depicted the winner as a mean, relentless, self-serving control freak the entire show and then she wins. You kind of want to root for (or at least like) the winner, and they edited her from the beginning to be unlikable, and then tried to redeem her at the last moment with footage of her parents and how rough they had it. I wasn't buying it.
So far I get a kick out of Ping (I *think* that's her name) and Anthony - I loved his quick "I'm thirsty" comment when the guys were telling their weights. Although I don't think a pageant guy will ever win this thing. I like Maya and Seth and Janeane so far for style, at least those are three that stuck out in my mind. A few others, I really liked their clothes, but can't remember who they are. Janeane has a shop at Etsy and her clothes are really quite nice, although nothing really out of the ordinary design-wise.

The older woman - very pretty, did a hot pink dress - she lives a few streets away from me. Maybe I will have to go spy to see if Tim Gunn shows up soon....
Last season was pretty bad, they kept kicking off the wrong people.
This season looks better. Nicknames are developing. Kenley 2. Little Bale...
I really don't like the boring dress with giant thing on one shoulder look. This time it was like a mushrooms covering a rotten log.
I thought the Punky Dorothy dress was lame but the judges like it. Shows what I know. I did like Emilio's purply strips-of-condom-packets dress. And hey it won!
I must confess, last season was the first season I had ever watched of Project Runway, and I really enjoyed it. After hearing how sucky it was, compared to previous seasons, I'm really looking forward to this one.
I enjoyed the show but thought that some of the dresses were ridiculously tarty. I liked Ping's outfit because it had things like sleeves and didn't use just two ounces of material. I know I sound old but even in my very youth I never wanted to run around in flippy tiny skirts and stringy little tops with no backs. Doesn't anybody get COLD in those outfits?
What's with Nicole Ritche? Do the guests continue to be crappy, like last time?
Wait, what? Nicole Ritchie is a crappy guest? Did you not witness what she was wearing while she was pregnant and the new maternity clothing line she put together? Say what you will about her overall life, but Nicole knows clothes and fashion.
I did, however, fell like the editing of the judges was boring this time.

They're predisposed to like anything they perceive as "edgy". I don't think Seth will win, he's a clone of the tattooed neck guy who won....Jeffrey, I think his name was. Design-wise, that is. That dress had Jeffrey written all over it.
I love Nicole Richie. She represents "Young Hollywood" (dumb but apt phrase) very well with her great eye and style.
The show peaked for me with the 2nd season. I've watched 'em all since then but I fell asleep at some point during every episode of season 6. However, I'm so in love with Tim Gunn I just keep watching.
