I was wondering that myself, actually. I think that the expanded time is worth it during the beginning episodes so that we can actually see more of the critiquing of the designs as well as learning more about the designers. However, I'm also wondering how much excess time we'll then have at the final stages.

And...I do like the drama to a point. It's so entertaining.

While I don't necessarily miss Models of the Runway, I do miss having the insight of the models. They spend so much time with the designers that I enjoyed listening to their perspective.



At first I thought it was a bit mean (though it is a reality show) to hit them with a challenge right off. BUT! I think it might have been better than to let someone move in, only to have to move out the next day.

I have come to the conclusion that it is necessary in the first episode to have a designer send a model out half-naked. What I don't understand is how they let Jason stay when he stapled his dress together. At least Makaela (sp?) had a finished garment.



No crazier than Mondo in his "Blair Witch Project Runway" confessional: I'm so alone...I feel so sad...I need a cheeseburger.

But, yes, another garment held together with safety pins / staples. You'd think he'd have learned his lesson.

Bad design for the challenge, poor execution, bad judgments all around.

I was sad to see Nicholas go; I was looking forward to more from him.



I liked this design, though I agree that the others were strong contenders. However, her garment did work better on a billboard than the little red dress.
