So I’ve only seen a few seasons of Project Runway, and I truly enjoyed it. It’s an actually interesting reality show – I like watching people be creative on deadline, with strict constraints.
It’s sort of like the end of my college career, except that I didn’t get to dress hot girls in poetry.
Come to think of it, if I could re-do a couple of my final projects, I think I have a good idea.
Sadly, though, the new season, the first on Lifetime instead of Bravo (neither of which I watch – we don’t have cable), has been missing its stalwart judges, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia.
This leaves them with an interesting dilemma: A show that needs to keep its reputation up after going to a network with a poor reputation missing two of its constants. Producers, this concerns me. It’s time to, as Tim Gunn would say, make it work.
Monkey See blogger Linda Holmes doesn’t think it’s coming together.
She says that the show lacks a suprising gravity without Garcia and Kors.
I’ll grant her Garcia, and yes, Kors lends some gravity, but what I’d notice in a Project Runway without Kors would mostly be a surprising lack of bright orange fake tan.
