So today, I was sitting around at home, channel surfing and looking for something to watch to pass some time, and I stopped on Bravo... and behold, I saw a commercial for season 2 of Project Runway! I almost wet my pants with excitement. The "sophomore season" can be a hard one. I think a lot of shows get better with a little time under their belts. Case in point: American Idol. You know, Kelly really is the best contestant to have been on AI, but the show improved a lot during season 2. But some shows have a hard time living up to the hype they got during their first season. Look at Desperate Housewives. Sure, it's still a great show, and is in the top five every week, but a lot of people feel something is missing this season.
But back to Project Runway - it will be hard to top season 1. It was truly magical. The designers were crazy characters; will there ever be another Jay, Austin, or (God forbid) Wendy? Plus, the design challenges were so interesting, and really showed what the designers were made of, and I hope that Tim and Michael and Heidi and the rest of the gang can come up with new challenges so the viewers don't just get a rehash of the season 1 challenges. I'll be watching with high hopes and high expectations. Don't let me down, PR, or "you're out."
Project Runway season 2 - B+ (I'll reevaluate after December 7!)

ooh, i didn't watch the first one, but wanna watch this one. when does it start?
December 7th, fool!
Did you know that Daniel, the really annoying dude who was kicked off during episode 1 of season 1, will be back for season 2? I think that's just the wrong foot to start with. I hope he gets kicked off during the first challenge again- that'll be the only way that deciding to have him on again will make sense to me.
FYI - there will be a Project Runway marathon this Saturday starting at noon! I still haven't seen the first two episodes, so you better believe I'll be watching!
This show is SO good. I love how every week a designer AND a model gets eliminated. And these people are actually talented, unlike everyone involved in America's Next Top Model. Hacks, all.
magical. really?
