Yes, I like seeing more of the judges' discussion. Even when they are all totally wrong it's interesting.
What I've always liked best about Project Runway is that it makes me want to sew and this season is not inspiring me at all. It might be the designers. I feel like they are under more time pressure than in previous seasons - every challenge is one day long, seems like - and that that is at least part of why we are getting lackluster results. OTOH, I don't have a sense of any of the designers' POV, maybe this batch just doesn't have anyone presenting a clear vision.

It still does, for me, although this season it's more, "I could totally design something better than that!" Even if I couldn't, you know, actually execute it.
Reruns of S1 are on right now (Style Channel), and it's weird to realize that season started with only twelve. Starting with sixteen is just too many, I think.
It may be too many. I never get to know all of them in the first few episodes anymore.

Ha!

Ooh, I must watch! Jay! Austin! Wendy Pepper! I still think that Jay's Chrysler-Building-inspired dress is one of the best things ever produced during a non-finale challenge.
I actually like that we're seeing more of the arguments between the judges, because it makes some of their decisions more understandable.
Isn't Amy the cup-half-full kind of person today?
The designers are all so high-drama without the strength to back it up.
This pretty much sums up how I feel about this season.
No amount of potential justifies letting Anthony Ryan get away with that outfit. Since they did two winners, I think they should have done two losers and sent them both home.
I think that he got a sympathy vote for working with Bert. It is one thing to throw another designer under the bus, it is quite another to push the driver out of the seat so that you can back the bus over him a few times. Bert added nasty comments as well as visibly celebrated the judges' criticism of the other designs. Did you make the only wearable design? yes. Were you a nightmare to work with? Yes.
Yes, Bert was awful at judgement, but the editing made it seem like Anthony Ryan was much worse to work with than Bert.
