Project Runway
Having been out of the country, I missed the final three episodes of Project Runway. Drama. Drama. Drama. This has been the whiniest, high-maintenance, teary-eyed group of designers in the history of the show. Their low self-esteem and lack of confidence just left me drained. I am tired of hearing, "I want to win this for my mom... or my sister... or my dad... or my neighbor... or my dog..." (I exaggerate on the latter.) Did no one want to win it for themselves??? In their defense, I can't imagine living so intimately with people knowing every time you walked out the door, one of you wouldn't be coming back. And having to withstand public ridicule from a group of judges whose own taste is at times questionable (come on Michael Kors - now that you've won a lifetime achievement award, isn't it a little "costumy" to wear sunglasses indoors?).
