I like PR but I wish it were more about showcasing talent instead of stirring up stupid drama. They keep the nutballs with less talent and creativity around and they impose such insane time restrictions, along with the chronic sleep deprivation, that we don't get a sense of what anyone is capable of until the final show.
I rolled my eyes so hard when the judges complained that they all sent stapled together suits down the runway for the Tiki Barber menswear challenge.
I can't remember any real memorable faces from last season and when it was on the air, I often found myself letting 9 PM go by without turning to Bravo. It just lost its...dazzle, I guess.
This is why I petition to have Santino compete in every season.
@TexasCrude blames Gwyneth Paltrow: It would be fun if they went back to their roots and got contestants that were just out of design school rather than people who are established at other design companies.
I'm sort of disappointed that he keeps designing the same things he did for the final PR show:tonally similar colors grouped together, patchwork quilting and knits, squares.
@HanaMaru: That's what I was thinking. I still have fond memories of his ProjRun colection-- the teal sweater with the crazy oversized collar, the belted lavendar jacket, and honestly the headphones -- but these kinda seem like more of the same. I hoped for the same theme, but with more sophistication.
That said, if I was still in The Bay I'd be at the Opera theater watching this movie right now.
@LaFemme: Eleven Minutes, directed by Michael Selditch and Rob Tate, might be described as a low-rent answer to Douglas Keeve's documentary about Isaac Mizrahi, Unzipped (1995), a movie that also revealed the fundamental silliness of fashion, though it had some glamour attached.

Really? Just because it might not air? I'm pretty sure they still edit it together with an audience in mind...

I like him and I think he has talent, so I hope he makes it.
