Sir Anthony Hopkins @ subMercer Friday night around midnight.
He was absolutely wasted.

The biggest problem is that this year's cast is boring and not very talented. The people they put on the show have a huge impact on how good a season is. Just a couple compelling personalities can make a huge difference. Christian Siriano, anyone? This season has not Christian, nor anyone close (neither in personality nor talent).
The production company changed (from Magical Elves to Bunim-Murray), but that didn't really make a huge difference I don't think. The new compnay is sticking to the standard formula for editing these episodes that was established back in season 1.
The challenges could be better designed, and the Nina and Kors need to show up for judging more often. But the big problem, like I said, is this group of designers - they are boring in their personalities, and boring in the work they produce. A deadly combo.

The judges haven't just kicked off several interesting personalities (such as Malvin and Ra'mon) -- they've also auf'd a few folks who look very promising talent-wise (such as Epperson and Shirin).
Maybe in the past, the producers have been rescuing the judging panel from their own bad judgment!

We should all take sewing lessons at FIT so we can compete on the show next season to shake things up! #projectrunway

I agree that the challenges are really badly designed. Last night's challenge really had me scratching my head. I really don't know how they thought that challenge could yield any innovative and interesting designs. The designers just took their old designs and tampered with them a little.

Also, it doesn't help that it's on Lifetime ... that here in New York is buried on Channel 62 which is nowhere near anything else I watch, so I never scroll by and see it coming up. If it wasn't for DVR show subscriptions I would never see it. I don't even notice that it's been recorded each week until I'm scrolling through my saved shows on Sunday mornings. #projectrunway

OH, if only Bravo could be on the 'lower end' of channel selections, what a HUGE fanbase they would have. #projectrunway

@Spirit Fingers: If Chris Hemsworth promises to be shirtless a lot, I will watch the SHIT out of this Thor movie, regardless of whether he lives in Chicago (as would be authentic,) or not. #projectrunway

@joefuntime: As to "why not HD?" the answer is that HD isn't cheap. #projectrunway

I agree that HD wouldn't make the show any more dramatic, but joefuntime has a point: a show that's all about visual effect ought to be HD from end-to-end. #projectrunway
