I dunno... I enjoy seeing some of these obviously untalented people get cruelly cut down.

Maybe I was born to be a fashion designer because I find myself almost always agreeing with the judges.

Well here's where you and I differ then I guess.

Half the enjoyment that I get from the show is wondering just WTF is wrong with the judges for some of the shite they like

<--- obviously knows nothing about runway fashion

OK, further confession... this just might be the best reality show on TV. Certainly head and shoulders above the lame American Idol.

This past week's episode was very touching... Mondo Guerra, a little gay man from Denver with a very cordial personality who is about to become a household name in the fashion industry, is clearly the most talented contestant, having won now three challenges in a row. He designed a print based on his previously secret HIV positive status, and when he reluctantly told his story the other contestants were moved to tears.

Over the course of the season the contestants have grown to know and like each other, and the program proves that even in a competition a reality program doesn't have to be mean-spirited to be compelling.

I enjoy watching good looking women in nice clothes. I also think the fashion failures can be funny and devastating. Congrats to whomever conceived this program.

I watch it with my wife, mostly so I can get credit for doing that type of thing. It isn't too horrible, but I definitely wouldn't just watch it myself.

project runway is great. those people get instructions, have a vision of what they want to make, then make it with their two hands and a sewing machine. unlike another good show, top chef, with project runway you get to experience the product, as it were.

great show.

Same here.

Guy is obviously talented as hell, but the way he went about telling everyone kinda annoyed me. He goes on and on about how he's tried to keep it secret all of these years, doesn't tell his family, then tells millions on TV during the confessional, and also in front of the judges after the runway show. It made for interesting TV, but it just seemed like such an attention grab. Eh...maybe I'm just too cynical.

Damn, I was kind of wrong about that. Some of the kicked-off contestants came back to assist the survivors and one of the losers was a total whiny accusatory bitch.

Some of the clothes last night were hideous. Said one of the judges: "nobody would pay more than ten dollars for any of that."

I like this show although the eventual winner seems obvious and inevitable.
