And now for something completely different. This one's for isirota1965 who hates when I post on this.
Project Runway Season 3 launched on Wednesday night and it's looking to be another great (and aggravating) season. They selected a very interesting cast of characters with differing backgrounds and design takes. From the teasers for episode 2 (episode 1 was a two-hour intro), it looks like someone gets kicked out for doing something nasty. I can't wait. 
The first challenge was for the contestants to go back to their appartments and rip the place to shreds using anything they could get their hands on to make a design from -- bed sheets, seat covers, shower curtains, chandeliers... The results were mostly amazing. The only one I didn't like at all was "rocker guy" Jeffrey's design which just looked like a mess to me (much better in that picture than it looked on the runway). It way too early to tell, but Jeffrey is the early candidate for least-likable. We'll see. (Wonder if he's the guy getting kicked out.)
Winning design was by Keith (pictured), who's only past experience is in men's wear -- a disadvantage on this show. He has immunity for the next challenge.
Be sure to read Tim Gunn's blog for a run-down on the performances of each of the contestants (Does Tim check his referrer logs like a mental patient as all newish bloggers do? Hi Tim!). Tim is the coolest dude on the show for sure, next to Michael Kors, of course.
Bonus for heterosexual males this season: the models are much better looking this time than on season 2.

No, but some Bravo staffers do. :-)
I wtch infrequently, but enjoy the summaries.... 1965 ought to try it!
Even if you don't care a white about fashion, this show is addictive--as is Tim Gunn's blog. Seems like a really talented bunch of designers this season. And there are already a couple of frontrunners for the Santino/Wendy Pepper role.
Dreck! DRECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tim's great
I thought there was going to be sabatoge in the first episode... what happened?? I saw it in the preview.
tim needs his own show, with commentary from santino
I too am falling in love with Tim Gunn and his blog although I generally don't follow fashion or much care what I wear.
I agree that Bravo's constant playing of a clip of Tim evicting someone for cheating made it seem as if that happened in the episode then showing, but hey, we all know the show is taped in advance and edited for maximum suspense and drama.
So far the right people have been auf'ed but I hope Vincent & his "assistant" go next.
