Okay, maybe not all of Jay McCarroll's friends are from Bravo shows (his friend Selene in Park Slope is like the bestest friend ever - she lets him stay on her couch, touch her boob, and models his outfit for pregnant Heidi), it just seemed like it. Hey, here's Austin Scarlett! Wendy Pepper! Oh, Kara is the only person he knows in L.A. with a sewing machine (okay, that's more legit). But Jason from Blow Out cuts his hair? What next, James Lipton comes on to lecture Jay about drama? Just a thought! So, Gothamist watched Project Jay two nights ago and actually watched part of it again last night, and we'll probably watch it every single time it comes on Bravo because we tend to do things like that (it's that or watching the Pastry World Championships on the Food Network). We're a little torn between wishing it was a weekly show and being happy it isn't. God bless Jay's wackiness, but he's a bit high-maintenance. Anyway, here's our rundown:

Last night's Project Runway Reunion special was so good: Montages, dirty looks, incomprehensible babbling, serious weight loss (thank you, John Wade - you look great!), and Tim Gunn! Some things we noticed, wondered about, and loved:

No one needed any more reasons to watch Project Jay, the one hour special about the season one winner of Project Runway, Jay McCarroll, but after reading Virginia Heffernan's assessment in the Times, we Can. Not. Wait. Saying that if he were better-looking, he'd be stupid and die of AIDS? His disdainful family and Heidi Klum's pregnancy-induced indecisiveness? Just living in Park Slope? And that hat is so great. Oh, Jay, we miss you from this season. The best two hours of TV tonight is from 10PM-midnight on Bravo - Project Runway reunion followed by Project Jay.

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!
