Project Runway

I've been taking a little break from the internet. Sometimes it's good to get away.

My buddy Tim has hooked me on Project Runway this season, which I've heard from many a fan is not the best. I do like that it really is a straight-forward competition without the back-stabbing, alliance-making crap in which most reality TV wallows.

This past week, I watched Season One on DVD from Netflix. Wow. There is a huge difference from where it started to where it is now. I did enjoy it, even though I think that one lady Wendy was pretty much out of her mind from the start. She had a Survivor-esque mentality that made little sense, but I'm sure she was good for drama. From the missing dye to the missing rock-outfit pieces to the mysterious mustache on her daughter's photo, I think she was responsible for all of it. She may have put on her crying fit, but I wasn't buying it.

I've put Season Two in the queue. I have to say I guess I'm hooked. I do respect the show and the competitors. While my favorite is already gone from the current season, I have to say that the remaining three, even with their odd temperments, definitely are talented designers.

While I really dislike Irina's attitude, I have to admit that she's really, really good. Still, I'm hoping that Carol Hannah wins.

I was a big fan of Shirin to be honest. I thought she was innovative and creative, especially when in crunch time. The wedding dress challenge was a good example. With minimal materials at her disposal she went for something that most folks wouldn't have considered (thread) and drastically changed the look. And for the record, the bride she made the dress for was a complete whack job!

I was fond of Shirin too. I had her slotted for the finale with Carol Hannah and Althea, but Irina deserves it too. Usually, one of the "evil" contestants makes the finale:) That would be Irina this season.

Well, Irina is there to win not to "make friends" as she's said. It's just a hard pill to swallow, for someone with a nasty attitude to have that kind of talent I guess.
