Again, Still, Really? Project Runway 10 Starts Next Week

Again, Still, Really? Project Runway 10 Starts Next WeekThe 10th season of Project Runway premieres next Thursday on Lifetime zzzzzzzzzzz.

Confession: I did not actually watch a single minute of Project Runway All-Stars. I MEANT to, and I TiVo’d it and everything…and then I just…didn’t. I read the recaps over at TLo and saw that sadly, nothing much had changed: The season started out strong and then slowly devolved into the ridiculous and arbitrary, and the Mondo-as-the-winner storyline was completely, obviously preordained. Yeah, yeah, we get it. You’re sorry about Gretchen and the granny panties. NEXT.

And I realized that maybe, just maybe, I could simply walk away from my one-time beloved-more-than-anything “no seriously it’s the best reality show on earth, you guys” Project Runway instead of forcing myself to go down with the ship, season after season. (And then writing 1,000+ word screeds on this website about Why ProjRun Is Broken And Needs To Be Fixed the day after the finale.)

But All-Stars didn’t have Tim. Project Runway Proper still has Tim.

So…is Tim enough? To sit through sixteen episodes with…these people?

    I broke up with this show and then got back together with it for All-Stars and I wish I hadn’t, because it was just so obviously the Mondo Redemption Season that I ended up feeling so bad for Austin, whom I have always adored no matter what anyone else thinks.

    I selfishly want you to recap it with all the names you picked out, though because THE GIGGLES.

      (This is more of a reply to everybody asking about recaps, but Disqus baffles me and I *THINK* replying to Amber will game the system and put this comment higher up?)

      Anyway. Recaps. *gurrrrrrgle* I don’t know! I really don’t. I used to spend freaking HOURS on those things…hours I no longer have, especially on Fridays. Would people be okay if the recap wasn’t ready like, the very next day? Would it be completely stale and pointless a couple days later? Would my burning obvious biased hatred keep you warm in the meantime?

  • Becki Johnson

    In! We’re in! Please be in too. Why? Because at least it’s not the bachelor, okay.

  • beadlady

    Please be in! I love your recaps. I’m still hoping the show redeems itself!!

    I don’t know! I swore it was IT with the Mondo/Gretchen debacle. I think I will bend to peer pressure, whichever way it goes.

    Oh, I’m in! Bring me my Tim!

  • funkymama1

    I quit this show but would definitely read your recaps. Your pain, my gain?

  • SuzyQuzey

    I am IN! Please be in with us, too. And use those names.

  • Hollypainyo

    I was in the same boat as Amber — I was done done with Project Runway after last season, then grudgingly watched All Stars anyway. I didn’t hate it quite as much as I thought I would, but it still wasn’t enough to make me completely ready to jump back in with regular Runway. I’m just not sure my heart is ready to trust again.

    Having said that, I agree with everyone else that recaps would make even another painful season worth it, though I make no promises that I won’t throw my remote again.

  • Julie

    Oh god, I can’t decide. The pain is just so painful. But crappy TV is a beautiful thing. Ok, In. I will regret it, but IN.

    If you are doing recaps, I am all in. Because this post made me laugh a lot, and that’s what I love most about Project Runway.

    I’m definitely in if you’re recapping, even though I will probably scream at my television the entire time.

    i’m #TeamKooan because i’m pretty sure he is actually a live-action cartoon character and not a person.

    I love your recaps. I’m not sure if I’m going to watch it this year — these people look kind of boring. I’ll watch the first episode, for sure, to see if there are any crazies. I will likely spend the majority of the season watching recaps online because when it gets boiled down to FASHION, I actually like it… too bad I generally have to read it after the fact for that to happen..
