Project Runway: Season Five Reviews:
Project Run is just plain FAB-ulous!!! 
2009-10-30 - I'm hooked! I am so addicted to Project Runway that I can't NOT watch! Heidi is devine ("She acts kind of bitchy, no?") and Tim Gunn ("Make it work") are such fun! Then add to this mix the judges, designers and the crazy challanges (can YOU make an outfit out of a garbage bag?) and you have a show that you just can't miss! I LOVE THIS! Season Five was not a disappointment, either. It delivered the goods! Lots of excitement and watching your favorite designer get voted off, or one who SHOULD get the boot but stays...well, it's DRAMA plain and simple! KEEP THEM COMING1 I have bought every DVD set and will continue buying them until it's off the air. I can sit and watch these shows over and over again! SUCH FUN!!!
Guilty Pleasure
2009-09-27 - I have all 5 seasons now, and hope the change to another network will keep it strong. However I did miss the reunion show not taped or at least not included in this season.
Again, Very Entertaining
2009-09-22 - As with previous 4 seasons, this one was very entertaining. But I thought that the quality of the designers was not quite up to snuff compared to prior seasons. Especially the early eliminations - some of these designers were just odd, and not so talented. The final 4 were quite good, though.
Still going strong

"Project Runway: Season Five"
(Bravo, 2009)
----------------------------------------
Despite the behind-the-scenes production delays and legal wranglings, Season Five of "Project Runway" emerges as one of the strongest shows to date, perhaps rivaling Season One in terms of its narrative arc. The season starts off slow, with a cast packed with the usual mix of narcissism, talent and self-delusion, but as the season progresses many, if not all, of the unlikeable contestants wind up seeming pretty sympathetic. It's not clear that the raw talent or wow factor is as widespread this time around, but the winning designer's runway show is breathtaking, and really feels like a world-class fashion production. There do seem to be a lot of questionable calls on the judges' parts -- sometimes I found myself wondering if they were tailoring their decisions more for the drama of the series, rather than for pure fashion. (Really? You like those drapey, flowy things that much? Hmmm.) Also, I think their decision on the elimination from five to four contestants was just utterly wrong: the rock'n'roll outfit was exactly, spot-on perfect, and way better than the other designs. Oh, well. Poor guy.)
Anyway, it was a fun season, and fans of Tim Gunn should be especially pleased with how much more of his persona comes through. Looking forward to Season Six! (Joe Sixpack, Slipcue film reviews)
Good basic fix for Project Runway addicts 
2009-09-13 - There is nothing like wasting an entire weekend watching a Project Runway marathon. Ahhhhhh,it is FABULOUS!
Season Five features some interesting competitors who have fantastic talent and creativity. A few (Kenley!) are annoying, but they still have a unique point of view that is fun to watch.
The bigest disappointment was the lack of any interesting extra features. True, the episodes themselves were extra-long (and worth the extra footage!) but there is little else. I would have especially enjoyed an episode featuring the search for the competitors....it is always fun to see what the eventual winners bring to their auditions as well as the wacky creations of wannabe fashion designers. Additionally, would it be so difficult to put on extra features with outtakes from the show? What about Tim Gunn commenting on what he REALLY thought of the designers? ("Tell me Tim, didn't you just want to strangle Kenley?") What about Heidi making some extra comments? I'm sure she has some...
Definitely something for a fan to buy, but I'm always wishing for more.
