Project Runway

I love Project Runway! In this season 14 there is a nice mix of contestants and challenges. However, I am very surprised and frankly, disappointed at the lack of actual sewing ability, knowledge of fabrics (and what they do) and general lack of taste level (within each contestant's aesthetic) that can carry a design through to the finish and win. This is NOT one of the best seasons, but as with all Project Runways, you learn to love all of the contestants as people who aspire to design and please. Sadly one contestant burns out early and it appears that substances play a role. When I think of the many, many talented young people, I think the selection process was poor and the vetting even worse. Step it up! I wanted to get excited, but found it tedious and lack luster. I watched the final episode of season 14 and I could not believe who won. This was a pandering choice and I felt that the real winner was denied for the sake of demographics. I liked all of the contestants, but I never expect to watch a reality game show that slants and panders the end results. The person that won is an interesting designer with an important voice, but not the top talent, in my opinion.

Never as good as the first 3 seasons but still interesting to watch especially since they changed the rules a bit. A show worth the watch if you are at all into fashion.

I absolutely adore this program. Watching the designers make their ideas come to life never ceases to amaze me. I don't always agree with tje judges (usually about who should be cut that week) but hearing their logic is extremely educational. And TIM GUN RULES!! Love him!
