I missed the whole show because Virginia Beach has been overtaken by a bitchy nor'easter courtesy of Ida and we had no power till tonight. I see that we had more drama here, with water pouring down our chimney, coming under our garage door, and overflowing our pool than this show.
Also, Tim held the champagne glass that way because the the proper way to hold a wine/champagne glass is always by the stem, never the bowl. And of course Tim would know that! #projectrunway
Tim in that retro apron ( of course he would choose one Betty Draper would wear. Even though we hate her. gah.) made the show for me. I just want to bring him home and have him make grits and cornbread with me, while he criticizes super sweetly my fashion choices, and says how darling my house is. Gunny, the bringer of peace and light. #projectrunway
@MisterHippity: My apologies Hippity.....I usually read your live blog first thing in the am but work has me snowed under and I was unable to get to it just yet. I should have known you had it covered, though :) #projectrunway
When I think of all the incredible models from past seasons who didn't even get a per diem for their work, let alone extra money from having their own show... #adventuresinliveblogging
@MisterHippity: Oh I think it will. Lifetime paid through the nose for it, they're going to want to get it back in ad revenues. Also, it allows Harvey to bump up the retail price of the DVDs for having this extra content. (He wouldn't be dumb enough to try and sell a DVD box of just Models, would he?) #adventuresinliveblogging
@adiam7: Are you sure she didn't mean they're down to the last 5 designers on the next season of Project Runway? Because that season is heading into the finals right now ... Broadcast will start soon.
So there will be models on P.R., as always. But I wouldn't think this "Models" spin-off would come back, because it's just so god-awful.
@MisterHippity: Harvey pitched it to Lifetime as part of the deal, if I recall correctly. He needed to make PR look like a huge honking, expanding franchise in order to get them to also buy his crappy film library.
@MisterHippity: No its models they audience gets to pick one of the models , just one. The audience is not picking the designer, so far. The commercial for that only airs during Models. If you would like to contribute to their search : [castingchallenge.mylifetime.com]#adventuresinliveblogging
@MisterHippity: I can't find ratings reports on Models since the premiere (it held about half of PR's audience). PR's ratings are about on par with the last Bravo season; some demos are higher and some lower. But considering Lifetime has 20 million more subscribers than Bravo, the numbers are way below expectations. And Lifetime's ratings in general are down. Meanwhile, Bravo keeps breaking their own records, even without PR.
@unclevanya: I actually heard the P.R. ratings lately have been slightly worse this year (for that past several episodes) than they were last season on Bravo.
Ratings of the premiere ep this season was much better than last season's premiere on Bravo. But then ratings dropped sharply, and the last several eps keep inching lower ...
So if Models is pulling only half that audience, it must be truly abysmal.
So if Lifetime does go with a second season of "Models," I wonder if it would be due to obligation (due to that contest, or the Weinstein Co. deal). #adventuresinliveblogging
@MisterHippity: It's only a half hour and its cheap as hell since a lot of what they cover is for PR. Until they find another bravo like thing to hitch to it I think this show will be in. They have given Weinstein a lot of wiggle room all though he is not willowy #adventuresinliveblogging

Just look at the other seasons and notice the world of difference in talent. This season was such a nightmare and I'm glad it's over.

Lifetime paid through the nose for Project Runway. I wasn't aware that they did for "Models" too ... are you sure about that?

I wonder if the knew how bad "Models" would be before they did this "challenge" thing?
Does the challenge *obligate* Lifetime to air a second season, if the first one's ratings have sucked really bad (as I assume they have)?
Or I wonder if they could cancel "Models" and just have the winner of this contest appear on Project Runway alone ...? #adventuresinliveblogging
