Customer Reviews

Love Project Runway
I do love Project Runway and I couldn't wait to get each season on DVD. While I am glad to have each show without commercials, I am disappointed that there is no additional material included. I was hoping for outtakes, extra interviews, or SOMETHING I hadn't seen on Bravo. Complete letdown. I'm not sorry I bought it, I'm sorry I paid so much for it.

Clothing design for the untalented viewer
I caught one Project Runway of the second season and really enjoyed it. Therefore, I asked for the first season for my birthday. I just got it last week and finished it in two days. Morning, noon and night watching till I was bleary-eyed. I absolutely loved it and am going to order the third season right now. I am not a bit artistic, can't sew, not a great cook; in other words I am not runway material. But, I am in awe of talent and these finalists do have it. Thank you for putting this show together, and I love Heidi, whom I never saw before.

Entertaining but totally fake. The show's producers, not the judges, choose who is "out"
I have recently watched, with my wife, several seasons of this show. It is very entertaining, but a heads up should be given to anyone who actually thinks that reality TV is in anyway real. For instance, when watching season one, one might wonder how a designer as bad as Wendy Pepper could stay on the show for so long.

Here is the answer: She is an evil person. Having such a despicable character stay on the show, mixing things up and generating drama, creates high ratings. That is it. If one reads the small print at the end of each episode, one learns--shock, shock--that it is actually the producers of the show and Bravo itself that ultimately gets to say who is "out." Why? Because it's all based on calculations of what combination of personalities will result in the highest ratings.

So what, you say? Well, the important implication of this is that the entire show is fake. That's right. The judges are NOT sitting there and choosing who actually gets booted off, as the show displays. The show's producers are doing that for them, behind the scenes. In fact, I would find it very interesting if the judges had to reveal what they actually write on their cards. One person speaks and then the others almost always just parrot what the first person says. I would bet high money, as a psychologist, that their cards would not reflect this.

Much of it is based on "who likes who" personally, because--let's face it--the whole racket is totally subjective anyway and entirely full of BS. Just listen to the designers. "It's like totally open and closed--at the same time." Better yet, watch Ali G asking phony questions to real-life designers, and watch them BS their way through Ali G's fake questions. The result is no different than the judge's asking sincere questions here.

On a final note I would like to say that this show should be hosted by a famous designer--not by a model. Klum likes to say that the show is a competition for models too, but the model competition is just based on who hits it off with whom. It's not really a competition. Also, Heidi Klum is VERY annoying. Her accent does not sound like an accent. It sounds like a speech impediment. I cannot STAND how she says "out."
