Project Runway #1 In Our Hearts (and the rest of America)

Is it Heidi Klum's cute way of saying auf wiedersehen? Tim Gunn's adorable, yet stern mentoring? Or, perhaps it is the mix of personality disorders present among the designers in this most entertaining of shows. Whatever it is, it works. And it rules.

Bravo execs should be getting raises anytime now because last Wednesday's episode of Project Runway was the #1 rated show in Bravo history. Take that Queer Eye. It was also, amazingly, the #1 rated show in its time slot for both cable and broadcast television in many major markets, including San Francisco, Seattle, and even Baltimore.

Cheers to you Project Runway. And good riddance to that narcissist Keith, however great of a designer he may be. Let this be a lesson that nice guys really can finish first. God bless America.

"Whatever it is, it works. And it rules."

Thanks for this. As a straight male it was hard in season 1 to explain to people why this show was so great. I'm not interested in design, I buy my clothes at Target, I'm not a fan of reality shows... but somehow I got reeled in from day 1. I honestly look forward to this show nearly as much as I do 24, Entourage and Lost... and that's saying a lot.
