What the hell is going on with Project Runway?

Short Answer: It premiers in ONE WEEK.
Long Answer: After the jump!



If you didn't realize the premier was just around the corner, you're not alone. There's been criticism that Bravo has "abandoned" Project Runway in anticipation of the show leaving for the Lifetime network next season. That certainly seems to be at least partially true - the current commercials are rare and nostalgic, reviewing past favorites and not showing a drop of footage from the upcoming shows.

Entertainment Weekly has some details here. In it, Heidi and Tim say all the right things about the show being as good now as last season, and that they are firmly involved with one season at a time. Reading between the lines, it seems that the business side of Runway (contracts, location, lawsuits, and money) are all still in flux as Harvey Weinstein continues to remind people who actually owns the show.

The biggest thing that bothers me is that we don't know who the contestants are - and the show is six days away!! I want a casting special on IMMEDIATELY.

Oh, and I really don't need to be plugging for these guys, since they are very very "in", but keep up on the show both here and at the fabulous Project Rungay. They are Queens with an obsession, and that obsession is all things and people associated with the show.
