Oh, please don't tell me I'm the only one here who watches/is completely addicted to this show!
Here's the deal. I can't abide most reality shows, which seem to me (not to mention the Writer's Guild and SAG) to be a cheesy and penny-pinching way around hiring writers and actors. But Project Runway -- or Pwoject Wunway, as those of us to love to ape Heidi Klum's enchanting little Cherman accent like to call it -- is different.
And here's why: you actually have to have not only talent but serious skills to be a contestant. You have to be able to sketch and design, and cut and sew. Could you make a ballgown in two days? Not me, and I've been sewing and doing needlepoint and restoring vintage clothes since I was in high school. These people are talented.
And bitchy and attitudinal and conflicted, which is where the fun comes in. Wednesday nights at 10:00 on Bravo have become as much of a given as Tuesday nights at 10:00 on ABC once were.
Twitchy, hammy, witchy fun. I highly recommend it!
