Previously
on “Project Runway”: it's been a couple of years since we saw
this show, and they ended with an All-Stars season for Season 20 so
it seemed like maybe the show was ending. And then there was nothing
for a long time. I have hesitations about this season, because we've
moved off Bravo again. When the show was on Lifetime, the judging
was...not great. Not that the judging has always been stellar all the
time on Bravo. But I felt like Lifetime put so much emphasis on
casting people with backstories, and drama, and things that were not
design. And now there are no designers on the permanent judging
panel! It's Nina and Law Roach, and Law is great but he is not a
fashion designer. Also Heidi is back, and that's more drama. If you
recall, when she and Tim left the show, they left at the same time.
You remember that one year where we didn't get Project Runway but
instead got Under the Gunn? That's because Tim and Heidi had an
agreement that they would not do the show if the other one wasn't
involved. Under the Gunn existed because Heidi couldn't film a season
and Tim refused to do it without her. And now the current producers
of Project Runway approached Heidi and not Tim, and when Tim's agent
went asking about it, they said they were not interested. So there's
some level of betrayal, added on to the fact that I did not miss
Heidi at all. Anyway in summary I don't have high expectations for
this season but I guess we'll see. (click
