It is WAY past time for me to give a shout out to one of my favorite shows on TV this season: Project Runway. In a nutshell (or should I say thimble), it's just good television. I am riveted to the screen every Wednesday night. I love some of the designers and loathe some others. I watched it last season too, but I wasn't as into it last year as I am this year. Which has alot to do with the designers this season. This edition seems to have it all via a cast of characters that rivals any evening soap:The Ice Princess.
The amusing and lovable gay uncle.
The pompous, overbearing Know-it-all.
The mousy quiet talented one who secretly has a killer bod.
The character who was killed off in a previous season only to return with a vengeance to suffer the same tragic fate.
The Club Kid/Pachuco/Street Hustler.
The sassy black diva.
The Geek.
The crazy aunt.
The snotty foreigner.
The Insecure Older Sister.
The grungey girl who needs a shower.
The one who slips under the radar.
The Over-achiever.
The ???????????.
The Bumpkin.
There are also four additional characters who appear weekly (mostly) and guide the wayward designers onto fame, fortune or failure:
The gestating, gelid German.
The brilliant, benevolent bellwether.
The critical, contrary, confident critic.
The meager,magnetic, modern maven.
My predictions for the top three are: Nick, Daniel Vosovic, and Chloe.
My prediction for the overall winner: Daniel Vosovic.
By the way, did you happen to notice the hourglass shape the links created?
Damn --
ReplyDeleteIt's good to know that I not the only one hooked on this show! Dop, my top three are essentially identical, except I might see a flip between Chloe and Andrae.
You nailed it on the overall winner though - that's been my preliminary pick.
Tomorrow nikght should be a good one with last year's winner as a judge on the panel.
Hey what's the special little green note at the bottom of your article all about - is that a code line for someone?

Those are my predictions for the top three as well. I was a Santino fan at first--I sort of like busy, kind of over the top clothing--but he has just gone too far. I have to agree with Tim, though, on last night's episode when he said that Chloe was a little one dimensional.
ReplyDeleteI love Daniel V.
