DVD Reviews of Project Runway - The Complete Second Season

DVD Review: It's the best one
Summary: 5 Stars

Loooooooooooovvvvvvee this one! I love the personalities, the challenges, the ups and downs, the competition, the judges' comments, and, of course, Tim Gunn: his outstanding charm, fashion sense, and his no-nonsense-get-a-clue advice delivered with compassion. It's fashion, NYC, Fashion Week, etc!!!!! Love the extras included on the second dvd.

DVD Review: A GREAT DVD!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Although I watched the 2nd season several years ago, it was really great to see it again. Project Runway is a great show!

DVD Review: Perfect Condition
Summary: 5 Stars

Thank you so much for shipping Project Runway Season 2 so fast and in such perfect condition. I really appreciate it. It's nice that your products are still packaged.. that proves that they are in great condition.

DVD Review: 751 minutes of entertainment and inspiration
Summary: 5 Stars

This was great inspiration while sewing my Halloween costume this year. I'm always doing stuff like that with a last minute got-to-get-it-done deadline, so I really felt a bond with the cast of the show. I noticed Santino seems to have his own line of shoes available on [...] now, so that is pretty cool!

I don't get cable tv, but I love reality shows and this one was so highly rated I thought I'd check it out. Besides, it's so inexpensive! I couldn't believe how cheaply I could get the four disc set. I noticed that some of the seasons are not only about twice as expensive but they are shorter as well. Too bad.

The bonus features on the last disk were not that exciting, but everything else about the set is fantastic. I just ordered season 3.

DVD Review: Entertaining yes, but totally fake. The producers, not the judges, choose who is "out"
Summary: 2 Stars

I have recently watched, with my wife, several seasons of this show. It is very entertaining, but a heads up should be given to anyone who actually thinks that reality TV is in anyway real. For instance, when watching season one, one might wonder how a designer as bad as Wendy Pepper could stay on the show for so long.

Here is the answer: She is an evil person. Having such a despicable character stay on the show, mixing things up and generating drama, creates high ratings. That is it. If one reads the small print at the end of each episode, one learns--shock, shock--that it is actually the producers of the show and Bravo itself that ultimately gets to say who is "out." Why? Because it's all based on calculations of what combination of personalities will result in the highest ratings.

So what, you say? Well, the important implication of this is that the entire show is fake. That's right. The judges are NOT sitting there and choosing who actually gets booted off, as the show displays. The show's producers are doing that for them, behind the scenes. In fact, I would find it very interesting if the judges had to reveal what they actually write on their cards. One person speaks and then the others almost always just parrot what the first person says. I would bet high money, as a psychologist, that their cards would not reflect this.

Much of it is based on "who likes who" personally, because--let's face it--the whole racket is totally subjective anyway and entirely full of BS. Just listen to the designers. "It's like totally open and closed--at the same time." Better yet, watch Ali G asking phony questions to real-life designers, and watch them BS their way through Ali G's fake questions. The result is no different than the judge's asking sincere questions here.

On a final note I would like to say that this show should be hosted by a famous designer--not by a model. Klum likes to say that the show is a competition for models too, but the model competition is just based on who hits it off with whom. It's not really a competition. Also, Heidi Klum is VERY annoying. Her accent does not sound like an accent. It sounds like a speech impediment. I cannot STAND how she says "out."

Description of Project Runway - The Complete Second Season

Studio: Genius Products Inc Release Date: 04/03/2007 Run time: 686 minutes
Fabulous from head to toe, Project Runway differs from many of its reality-show peers in that 1) its contestants are actually skilled at a difficult trade (in this case, fashion design) and 2) it boasts the most engaging hosts (supermodel Heidi Klum and Parsons Fashion chair Tim Gunn, who's become a breakout star himself). Season Two benefits from a more streamlined process--gone is the model-picking cattle call every episode--and a cast twice as memorable as Season One. Compare the ideas of kind fashion teacher Nick vs. wearable-technology geek Diana; the profound commentary of South African boho-chick Kara ("there's a life to the garment") vs. dim-bulb early cast-off Heidi ("I thought it was just, pretty. I mean, she looked pretty"). Revel in the arrogant musings, over-the-top designs, and dead-on Tim Gunn impressions of Santino Rice, who was wrongly mislabeled the villain of Project Runway. That honor truly goes to bossy witch Zulema, who never met an excuse she didn't like, and broke a gentleman's agreement by swiping Nick's "muse," model Tarah, halfway through the season (In a bittersweet end, Zulema's subsequent ousting forced an early exit for Tarah as well). There's even a surprise return of Season One's Daniel Franco, whose quivering voice and shuffle added even more spice to the pot.

This season's challenges included designing for Barbie, heiress Nicky Hilton, figure skater Sasha Cohen, and supermodel Iman; creating outfits from the clothes off their back; and designing a garden-party dress out of flowers and plants. Watching their creations (which are, in many cases, impressive) criticized by grumpy judges Michael Kors and Elle fashion director Nina Garcia makes for some of the best drama on television.

The DVD includes the full, uncut versions of Santino's runway argument with Nina and flamboyant contestant Andre's weepy breakdown in front of the judges (9 minutes, 53 seconds); more musical numbers invented by Santino and Nick ("No one's gonna sew no mooooore"); footage of the cast's audition tapes, and a Where Are They Now? featurette with Season One's contestants. A must-have accessory for fans of the show. --Ellen A. Kim
