Any Project Runway fans here?

I don’t know about you, but this season has been a huge letdown for me. This show is a shell of its former self. I didn’t like the designers; I only liked one or two garments all season; I didn't like Law Roach at all; and I miss Tim Gunn.

I think it's time they hung it up for good. Very few shows, if any, stay good forever and this one is past its expiration date.

1. I've resorted to watching

The Great British Sewing Bee on Roku

2. I only know about it because one of the models

from the first or second season was someone I know of.

3. Kenley Collins is my friend and former neighbor

She lived above us in Brooklyn during Season 5 and All Stars. On any given night half the cast of Season 6 could show up. I was known in that building as a "chef" -- something I don't call myself even though I have cooked professionally. One afternoon I got a call -- "pick up some good food and get over here. Your cooking for execs from Food Network and the hottest chef in Williamsburg." Saying "no" was not an option so I did 'Make your own pizza' and I cooked them on the grill. A memorable evening.

Kenley leaned into the "heel" role because she knew how the "reality" TV game is played, eg there was zero chance she would be the underdog that wins. She is still a firecracker and just released a bunch of short vids about how that show and Weinstein recently worked to crush her while trying to force her to return.

Gunn was a nice counterpoint to all the infighting.

It's still a good concept for a show. Maybe they should rebrand it and change up the format a bit.

I moved out of Brooklyn and recently met Sergio Guadarrama (season 18) several times at parties but we have not talked about Project Runway.

9. I loved Kenley's collection & thought the winner's was a total one-note.

Kenley's unconventional challenge outfit was so cute & clever. I wish PR would make a video of all the unconventional challenges. They're always one of my favorite episodes.

4. I've been disappointed too.

Mostly because of the designers. To me they are just an untalented group. Law Roach is ok. The program seems choppy and the runway looks cheap. The show should be an hour and a half.

5. I'm behind a couple of episodes but I agree, it isn't nearly as good.

Christian is an okay mentor. Zanna Roberts was favorite Tim replacement & Joanna Coles my least favorite. They were for All-Stars seasons.

Michael Kors & Nina will always be my favorite judges & she seems to have disappeared from this season. Law Roach really irked me but I got used to him after awhile.

I agree with the poster above that the set looks cheap.

Next in Fashion was the Netflix version but they only had two seasons. The first season was excellent but the second one sucked. It became more about the two hosts showing off, than the designers.

Heidi's Making the Cut has been good. More international designers really ups the game.

6. I agree about Zanna Roberts. I really liked her.

I was late to the Project Runway party and didn't start watching until after the Michael Kors years. I had two friends who watched it from the beginning and they convinced me to give it a shot. I liked the All-Stars version too and I even liked Under the Gunn, even though it didn't last past the first season. But this season was a major disappointment to me.

It also seemed like, as the years went on, the prizes for the winner went way down in value.

7. Ok, ok, I LOVE PROJECT RUNWAY!!!!!!

and quite a few I do love their designs. It’s different ya, but damn, they still have to design the fashions to win.

8. I love the show too, & the knockoff versions, as well.

All Stars, Making the Cut, & Next in Fashion (Netflix). Stitched is another one I came across that was fun. It's a one-episode competition between three designers & the winner gets $10K. Hosted by model Kim Cloutier. The designers were mostly at the beginning of their careers & many not very good, but there were some good ones. There were 12 episodes. I don't know of any other shows like this. I hope PR ups their game on the next season. Less drama. More design.
