I loved and enjoyed for about the first 16 or 17 seasons. Got sick sick sick of Klum and without Tim it just wasn't good. I'm amazed it's still around.

I remember the season Christian Soriano won. He was and is really creative.

I have the timer set. I have been waiting for this for what seems like forever. I really enjoy the banter between Christian Siriano and the contestants. (It amuses me that some do not heed his advice.)

@Love my grandkids, I got sick of Heidi AND Tim.

IMO, he almost became a caricature of himself.

For me, his slow demise began when he got his own (short lived) spin-off show. Do you remember it? It was his version of 'What Not to Wear', & always began in a woman's underwear drawer. Ridiculous!

Et tu, Tim Gunn? Yup!

Do you remember when he quipped to a designer 'That skirt is so short I can see her v-g--a!'?

I really hate it when people use that term to describe a too short outfit. It's not only crass, but anatomically inaccurate & impossible!

I like Christian as a mentor.

Thanks for the information, I use to watch that show every season!

Glad it's back

Just as I hardly pay any attention to the QVC hosts or let them personally bother me (I shop QVC for clothes, jewelry, food, decor, etc., NOT the hosts), I never let TV program hosts affect me either.

I watch Dancing with the Stars for the dancing and the choreography--I watch Project Runway for the designs and the fashions.

I am sure there will be people complaining about Pat Sajak leaving Wheel of Fortune, but in the scheme of lfe, hosts are important, but the players and the game is what makes the show!

While this is true, @FancyPhillyshopper, each part does make a difference, as a show's success is the sum of its parts.

In PR's earlier years, the poised, natty Tim Gunn advised designers with an air of dignified propriety and grace. His presence alone brought the show up a notch or two.

The earlier judges were formidable too, but over the years were slowly replaced by the occasional top designer, but more often by celebrities & influencers, some who needed a makeover themselves.

Of course, I still watch the show to see the designers, but do miss the days of when PR was a powerhouse!

I'll be watching, but I do think the show has devolved since the days of Heidi and Tim. Too many episodes relying on some cause du jour et al.

@Icegoddess I agree 100% about the causes. I stopped watching one season because of it. I know I didn't watch last year, so I'm not sure about this year.

Some of these designers I really disliked are back. The one that has changed the most in looks is Kayne I think and Nora. I didn't remember her from the first season and I know why now. She had dark hair and a punk look. Rami who's my favorite has changed the least.

Poor Project Runway. It nevered recovered from its years on Lifetime where it was truly awful. I feel like it never found it's footing again. Plus all the major players left...Heidi...Tim...Michael Kors. I will say that Christian swooped in and added a shot of adrenaline to the show. With that being said, of course I'll continue to watch it!

Re: Project runway

occasionalrain — Fri, 16 Jun 2023 23:22:56 GMT

I liked it before Heidi, Tim etc left. After that it became awful with that Alissa and the guest judges so I stopped watching. I did watch last night and was unimpressed with the return of former designers. It just dragged on and on.

I haven't watched this week's episodes yet (I was exhausted last night and just couldn't concentrate on it), but I watched about 20 minutes of last night's episode and to be honest--I don't remember any of them--except Kayne--he is vaguely familiar. I will try to catch up over the weekend.

I think they should have brought back 1 designer from each of the previous 19 seasons, not multiples from certain seasons but that's just me!

I couldn't understand why Alicia Silverstone was wearing that revealing dress. What was she trying to prove. Some of these designers are still awful.

@elated Gosh, the bodice of that dress looked awful! That corset looking thing made her boobs stick straight out & then, there was something else that squished them forward.

Oh yes, that dress was awful.

I tried to watch the show but got bored with it.

I may skip a few weeks and let them weed out some of those designers. How they retain Hester is beyond me.

@kindred cats

Don't get me started about Hester. Couldn't stand her in her season and she's not much better now. Not a big fan of a lot of these designers.

HisElk1 — Sat, 17 Jun 2023 00:56:48 GMT

@SWEET , @kindred cats , I'm with both of you. Hester is difficult to watch and hear. Hope it's soon the end and will be leaving very soon.
