You Thought the Fued Would End; Might Want to Think Again

Well, I’ll be the first to admit I thought the lawsuit concerning Project Runway and NBC would be over before the air date was postponed; however, ‘m really not so sure anymore! It’s time we really started feeling sorry for these designers! These talented individuals have already finished wrapping up the season and it’s likely it won’t air for a year! Yes, that’s right. A year.

Though the lawsuit was primarily between NBC and Weinstein Company, Lifetime has felt it necessary to hop on in and get all up in their business! Further postponing the air date for season 6, Lifetime has voiced their desire for the case to move from state to federal courts on the account of matters concerning federal copyright law.

Let’s just hope they at least get to strut their stuff on the catwalks next February. Sounds ambitious, but you never know!

Thanks NYMag!

And the Winner is….!

The time has come! All of the snappy arguments and challenges have finally led our contestants to their runway shows! Beginning with Part II of the finale, Kenley, Korto, and Leanne made small talk with Tim whilst toiling long hours to perfect those finishing touches of their collections. Of course, the usual checklist ran its course; Kenley had her inevitable disagreement with Tim, Korto was told her clothes were overworked and the judges were concerned about Leanne’s lack of ability to produce range. What was different? Kenely actually took Tim’s advice this time!

As the catwalk opened to the three designers, each emerged with an explanation of preceding inspiration and, of course, the result! Kenley opened the forum with bold, bright colored chic dresses (not surprising). Everyone seemed very impressed with the ode to ropes. Next was Korto, tracing back to her strong culture and roots Korto’s design elements within her collection were widely applauded. One of the judges goes so far to say that Korto withholds a true gift; she can dress women of all sizes. Even though Leanne was ragged on by a fellow contestant for her lack of color use, the judges didn’t seem to mind. Taking front and center catwalk, Leanne stimulates an image of waves, essentially what her collection is inspired by. None of the gals were widely discredited for any of their pieces. Overall, these were very positive results!

And finally…the winner is Leanne!

Project Runway Tears for the Lack of Four for Four Commitment

Though Kenley has never failed to surprise us with her “one-of-a kind” attitude during the hour runs of Project Runway, it was surprising to see her shed some tears; Tears released on the set of Regis and Kelly! The four remaining designers, prior to last nights showing, marched onto set ready to talk about Season 5 and amp up the crowd for the big finale. Watching several scenes from past episodes with the hosts, the designers were able to take a good hard look at themselves, and most importantly, their work.

I hope you all caught the 3 out of 4 group hug that took place last week during the competition. If you didn’t, just know that it consisted of Jerell, Korto and Leanne embracing with Tim as Kenley took a rain check out in the corner. Anyway, during the Regis and Kelly show, after they all watched the clip Kenly began to tear up. How upsetting is it when you can’t be subtle? Apparently to Kenly, it can be very much so, as she states amongst the tears. Well, it may be out of character but people can change, right? After all, Korto did just say, last night, that she loved everyone even Kenley.

Whip Out Those DVRs, Project Runway Gets Smacked With a Lawsuit

Though we’ve been cruelly teased with the terrible rumor that Project Runway’s season 6 may not premiere on schedule, we’re pretty sure it’s a definite. Yes, it’s time to whip out those recording devices as we soak up every last minute of contestant rivalry occurring on the current season 5. What’s the reason for the malice? Word has it Project Runway is being smacked with a lawsuit. Though we knew there was a dispute between NBC and Lifetime, it was supposed to be reconciled in time for the show to air on January 7. Well wouldn’t that have been lovely. Seems as though the wish we thought was granted has been yet again crushed.

Season 6 has just about finished recording in Los Angeles; however, the show still has no home! Though the Lifetime network seemed pretty confident that they were going to snatch Project Runway back , it doesn’t seem as though it’s happening. Nor has NBC made any move to feature Project Runway on its prime time listings. We sure do hope something gets worked out! If not, we’re looking at a late summer air date. Oh the horror!
