Guten Tag, Project Runway!

Wednesday is now most definitely the new Must See TV night. Not only is there Law & Order, Lost, and CSI: NY on the big networks, there's America's Next Top Model, Veronica Mars, and now Project Runway on Bravo. It is the only night of the week that requires a seriously souped up TiVo set-up, but luckily the UPN and Bravo replay their shows. Project Runway's new season starts with two hours of annoying new reality show contestants, bad ideas of what fashion should be, some bitchery from Nina Garcia and Michael Kors (we hope! we pray!) and waiting for an Auf Wiedersehen from Heidi Klum. Gothamist cannot wait - there is even another Kara in the mix. But most importantly, it brings us more Tim Gunn. And if you're at home now, you could be watching a Project Runway Season 1 marathon right now, up through a 6PM showing of the finale!

The NY Times looked at the show's surprising success, as success also means that people are suing the show, saying it was originally their idea. Project Jay about season one winner Jay McCarroll will be airing at some point in the future.

I love Project Runway. Glad to see some Asian female contestants this time around (don't they make up 40percent of the student body at Parsons?). And as much as I hated Wendy Pepper from Season 1, a recent visit to her website showed a pretty hot Wendy Pepper. You go, girl.

I like this show as well. Wendy was a bitch but that is why they kept her around.

NYC is the fashion capital of the country - and it's shot in NYC. At the very least, Tim Gunn is from Parsons.

Wendy was a great seamstress - she just had a fusty ol' style, though the Banana Republic dress was very cute (very Cynthia Rowley!).

I liked Jay's design for the BR challenge: the Chrysler Building inspired dress. Wonderful!

I love this show! I saw Austin Scarlett (from season one) a few weeks ago, walking on 27th street...

Opinions re last night's episodes? Methinks Santino and Chloe have some serious skeeelz.
