The third season of Bravo's reality hit boasted the most evenly matched upper roster of aspiring designers thus far in the series, and maintained the show's reign as one of the best in reality television (it's been nominated for an Emmy every year). It also featured not just one clichéd villain, but several: Keith, the impossibly arrogant menswear designer who believed he was "above" all challenges (and refusing to design the dog outfit mandated as part of that challenge); Jeffrey, the tattooed rock-star designer who was as condescending as he was innovative (yet, because of his bluntness, successful sobriety and impossibly cute son, you couldn't help but like the guy a little); and Vincent, the slightly perverse '80s-era designer who famously cashed out his 401(k) to try the business again and whom always seems two sandwiches short of a picnic. The season's challenges included making a dress out of materials from the contestants' apartments, modernizing the look of a fashion icon (from Audrey Hepburn to Madonna), and designing an evening gown for Miss USA (the later fallen Tara Conner) to wear in the Miss Universe pageant. Later in the season, the remaining finalists were able to jet off to Paris to be judged by designer Catherine Malandrino, whose criticisms were actually harsher than host Heidi Klum's ("You look rideeeculous," she tells one. "You look like a fehk pop stahr." ). Other guest judges during the season included Vera Wang, Kate Spade, Ivanka Trump, and Richard Tyler.

Project Runway stands out from many other reality shows in that talent was actually a requisite and there was no audience voting to keep undeserving contestants in. Not to say there weren't any frustrating contenders overstaying their welcome (Take Angela, the farm girl who claimed her dresses were "mistaken for Yves Saint Laurent" back home, but felt the need to smother all her creations with rosettes), but the competition was evenly, satisfyingly matched toward the end. The DVD includes the reunion episode, which features a tense exchange between Keith and Klum and pokes fun at den father/breakout star Tim Gunn's "$3 vocabulary." A couple of bonus features follow the finalists post-show, profiles Gunn, and shows an assortment of outtakes. Not featured on the DVD? The many, many Saturn Sky Roadster promotions that preceded every commercial when it aired on television. And for that, we happily say Auf Wiedershen. --Ellen A. Kim

Customer Reviews

Absolute best season of Project Runway
In my opinion, this is the best season of Project Runway so far. This season has the most drama, from the problems Kieth had early on, to Jeffrey in the Mom challenge, to the trip to Paris. All of the characters are very fun and there is a nice range of styles and fashion. The challenges were really good this season as well - the dog challenge, the mom challenge, the couture challeng - there was such a great assortment of cool looks we saw during this season. Season 5 starts soon, but out of the first 4 this one is by far the best in my opinion.

The weakest one among the first 3 seasons
The third season is the weakest among the first 3 seasons. The challenges are all very interesting and demanding as before. Heidi, Tim and all the judges are great. But, a great but, the contestants are far from satisfactory. One could not see as many great pieces as created by the contestants of the previous seasons, especially the first season. One does not have particular liking for the contestants of the third season.

Project Runway Season 3
The creativity and drama once again prove to be awesome. Jeffrey is such a jerk, Angela is so two faced and Laura Bennett is the ultimate chic NYC woman. Michael is the baby faced sweet heart and Uli the Uber beachwear queen.
