I'm such a reality tv nerd. I convinced my wife to try and watch Project Runway, which is on Bravo but was repeated Monday on NBC. It's Survivor meets the fashion designer world and is hosted by supermodel Heidi Klum.
It's actually the third season but we didn't watch either of the first two seasons. Well one show in and we're hooked. I could care less about fashion but I liked the aspiring designers (actually they're all pretty established to begin with as designers but they're trying to hit the big time with this show) and I liked the first challenge (they had to design a dress from materials found in their luxury NYC apartment they're living in while taping the show).
Episode 2 is on Bravo tonight and they're also repeating the first episode. I imagine Bravo will repeat it during the week too, plus you can go to their website to see the episodes if you want.
Anyone watch it or like the show?

I've had threads for both previous seasons but they never took.
I love this show. It is about 4 weeks behind in Canada though. (our Bravo is different from the American one) I do read the recaps on televisionwithoutpity though.
There was a British version too called Project Catwalk with Liz Hurley hosting. Shes actually being replaced for the second season by Kelly Osborne. (in the first season the designers had to design a party dress for her)(now whos the reality TV nerd?)

I think I like some of the younger designers because they don't seem so cocky. It probably goes with the territory but the men on this show are so effeminate.
Kendra, you need to get online and download the entire show to your iPod. You have an iPod, I assume (doesn't everyone besides me own one by now?).

Nope, no ipod here. Though you can see the shows at youtube.com. (also good for catching missed Canada's Next Top Model eps and 2 season of Australia's NTM 
)
About the effeminate deal. On the second season (the ep where they had to make outfits using clothing) they showed work room chatter about how the guys came out to their families. It was interesting.

LOVE this show.
I pride myself on actually picking the winner last season during the first episode. Really, it's kinda strange because it was her stuff I liked the most, and I was surprised Chloe made it that far.
This season I love Robert Best (I think that was the name)- he did the Barbie doll stuff I think? He showed a dress from a previous line during the pre show show and it was so so so cute.
This season, though, is already missing Santino. He was the best part of last year- so hilarious.

I want to see the actual dress she wore. I did not really like the "demo". I liked the brown one of the guy that got voted off.
I have never watched this show but really dug it!!

Looks like one of the designers is in trouble for plagerism

I love this show! I'm a little confused though - the red-haired woman designed a dress that was white, but didn't the Miss Universe contestant say she didn't want white?
I agree with twindependent - I miss Santino!

I watched it for the first time on Bravo yesterday afternoon, and I ended up watching three episodes in a row! I found it SO entertaining, and I'm not into fashion in the slightest.
I loved the episode where they modernized classic fashion icons (Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy, Twiggy, Katherine Hepburn, Cher). I can't believe some of them came up with such fantastic ideas in such a short amount of design time.

I was really disappointed with the Jackie O outfit though. Don't you think she would have been more reserved than that? There is a way to be trendy and not quite soo exposing, or at least I think so.

I agree, Dianne. I thought that outfit was horrible. He deserved to be in the bottom two.

OK, I'm officially hooked. I've now got Tivo set to record all new episodes. I was sorry to see Robert booted last night. I was also sorry to see what an a** Jeffrey was to Angela's mom. All she did was give an honest opinion on the colors, and he was so nasty. He seemed to be transferring his feelings about Angela to her mother. I felt sorry for her.

Here's something FUNNY!
I was in Wal-Mart yesterday, and passing by the girls' department, I spotted an outfit that looked familiar. I realized it is pretty much the exact same outfit Angela designed -- the one that got in the Macy's window -- in a little girl's size! Short black tailored jacket, long-sleeved light T-shirt underneath, and black cropped pants. The only thing missing were the little rosettes!
