Anyone Else Watching Project Runway?

I know that I am liking this season much better than last season but it is starting to show its age a bit. I will say that the challenges this season are much better than last season but I miss the WTF challenges like using part of a car interior to design a dress. Hardware store was more thinking outside of the box and figuring out what could be used. They have been doing a lot of unusual materials challenges but it is missing the oomph. And the designers are more clued into what the challenge might be based on previous challenges.

I’m liking Seth Aaron’s fashion sense. He understands the different challenges very well and his sewing skills is probably the best of the bunch. His personality hasn’t registered with me other than slightly annoying but not that annoying. Mila is another that thinks fashion forward but I am concerned that she is a one trick pony with lots of angles. I am sorry that Ping Wu went so early but she wouldn’t have survived the last couple of challenges. Jonathan surprised me last night. I loved the look and the dress was excellently tailored.

Final Three I think with be Jonathan, Seth Aaron, and Maya. I don’t know who will take it yet but those are the most versatile of the group left.

So the new thing in reality TV seems to be hoarding. I guess addiction is so last week as are bounty hunters and deep-sea fisherman. This is a subject that hits a little close to home for me because I do have some hoarding tendencies and I can tell that Caroline does too. I guess we are both going to have to work on that. I get a little scared watching the commercials and seeing the piles of stuff. I have piles of books and papers that need to be sorted and put away. I need to find the time to do it and that can get shuffled to the low end of the cleaning totem pole until it has to be done.

I am grateful that Project Runway is still going.

I have been watching this season; I started watching midway through last season, because my niece has been talking about applying to The Fashion Institute of Technology once she graduates high school.

I think the designers this season, as a whole, are of a higher calibre than last season. I am trying very hard not to let personality influence me, but I do have my favourites. I can't really comment on whether the show is showing its age because it's still new and fresh to me.

I have agreed with everyone they've sent home so far except one, and again I think it's more that I dislike the personality more than the design chops.

I missed this week's show and will have to catch it tonight in reruns, even though I know already who was eliminated.

It is nice to see that everyone can sew and can cut and stitch and tailor. Tailoring was seriously missing last season.
