I'm hoping you guys have been watching the most recent season of Project Runway.

And I'm so glad that they were able to get Heidi back for the reboot because we lost Heidi there for a little while.

And there was a show that they did on Amazon Prime that was kind of adjacent to this.

Design Masters or something like that, where they were able to get Heidi and Tim Gunn over onto a new show.

So I would love to see Tim Gunn do a pop-up on one of these, be a guest judge or something.

But I guess that Christian Siriano is just really... taking that spot so I do love Christian I think sometimes he can be like a little bit mean um but I kind of enjoy that like sometimes these designers need to just know like what the hell are you thinking please do not and I actually love even more when they don't listen to Christian like when someone defies Christian and doesn't take his advice I'm like yes diva like you know your work you know what you can do like you don't always have to listen to these people so um Christian does bring a lot to the show and something that he was given in his role is the Siriano save.

So that means that there are eliminations every week and Christian can decide once a season to bring back an eliminated designer.

And that is my OMG moment of the week because what was he thinking saving Brian in the Brian versus Jeffrey elimination? Now we know Brian does haute couture.

And contrary to what I was just saying, I do really enjoy when the designers like have their point of view and they don't just change everything that they do with their work to fit into the mold of what they're looking for commercially or what would work for the challenge.
