DVD Reviews of Project Runway - The Complete Third SeasonDVD Review: Good show as always Summary: 4 StarsI love seeing the beautiful (or sometimes hideous), innovative pieces of clothing come together piece by piece, and then either admiring or laughing at the finished product on the runway. I don't think the social dynamic of the group is quite as good as the last two seasons, too many jerks and not enough fun and friendship, which is why I didn't give it five stars. If you like pretty clothes or are interested in sewing or clothing design, it's still worth the price.
DVD Review: LOVE THIS SHOW Summary: 5 StarsWhat's to say? I love the show, and seeing more of these people is always great. Great copy -- exactly what I wanted
DVD Review: For a friend!! Summary: 5 StarsI got this for my friend she loves it!! I got her all the seasons!!
DVD Review: SEASON 3 IS THE MOST ENTERATINING! THE BEST! Summary: 5 StarsI bought all three seasons and Season 3 is the best for me. I love to see it over and over. Why? Because of . . .
Uli's smooth flowing prints
Laura's sophisticated and finely made dresses
Stacey's cool professional composure
Malan's laugh
The dog, rip your apartment, make gown for Miss USA to wear for Miss
Universe. These challenges are so fun to watch
Kayne's sense of humor and he talks like a powerful machine gun
Robert's funny punch lines like, "I believe in recycling even with
boyfriends."
Robert and Kayne's screeching
Contestants constantly fighting verbally with each other as early as the second episode. Some were even back-stabbing one another even during the initial presentation.
No over-acting crying dramas just to attract attention and sympathy like Andre from PR2 and that very annoying and horrible designer Ricky of PR4.
Amanda, the model who wouldn't shut her big mouth
Marilinda and Amanda - the fainting mannequins
And last but not the least . . . BRADLEY BAUMKIRCHNER! His dance moves, his humor, his punchlines, "I'm a squid with no ocean. I'm a fish out of water. When is the pants gonna be done? (4X repeatedly), Laugh now Bradley! You'll be thrown into the pit! I am so happy I almost cried! I made a toy and they kicked me out . . .POP!" Plus the sounds he makes (chicken, being electrocuted) and his different expressions (strangling himself) . . . a stand-up comedian with a great heart! Plus he's a talented but humble designer who wore a fantastic dress, getting a high score in just one hour!!! Go, Bradley, go! Audition for the next seasons! You have a lot of support from your fans!
Buy Season 3 now from Amazon! You will never regret it!

DVD Review: Entertaining but totally fake. The show's producers, not the judges, choose who is "out" Summary: 2 StarsI 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 Third SeasonInternational Supermodel Heidi Klum returns as host of Project Runway - Season 3, heading up a glamorous panel of celebrities and fashion icons in search of the next great fashion designer. The third season of Bravo's reality hit boasted the most evenly matched upper roster of aspiring designers thus far in the series, and maintained the show's reign as one of the best in reality television (it's been nominated for an Emmy every year). It also featured not just one clich?d villain, but several: Keith, the impossibly arrogant menswear designer who believed he was "above" all challenges (and refusing to design the dog outfit mandated as part of that challenge); Jeffrey, the tattooed rock-star designer who was as condescending as he was innovative (yet, because of his bluntness, successful sobriety and impossibly cute son, you couldn't help but like the guy a little); and Vincent, the slightly perverse '80s-era designer who famously cashed out his 401(k) to try the business again and whom always seems two sandwiches short of a picnic. The season's challenges included making a dress out of materials from the contestants' apartments, modernizing the look of a fashion icon (from Audrey Hepburn to Madonna), and designing an evening gown for Miss USA (the later fallen Tara Conner) to wear in the Miss Universe pageant. Later in the season, the remaining finalists were able to jet off to Paris to be judged by designer Catherine Malandrino, whose criticisms were actually harsher than host Heidi Klum's ("You look rideeeculous," she tells one. "You look like a fehk pop stahr." ). Other guest judges during the season included Vera Wang, Kate Spade, Ivanka Trump, and Richard Tyler. Project Runway stands out from many other reality shows in that talent was actually a requisite and there was no audience voting to keep undeserving contestants in. Not to say there weren't any frustrating contenders overstaying their welcome (Take Angela, the farm girl who claimed her dresses were "mistaken for Yves Saint Laurent" back home, but felt the need to smother all her creations with rosettes), but the competition was evenly, satisfyingly matched toward the end. The DVD includes the reunion episode, which features a tense exchange between Keith and Klum and pokes fun at den father/breakout star Tim Gunn's "$3 vocabulary." A couple of bonus features follow the finalists post-show, profiles Gunn, and shows an assortment of outtakes. Not featured on the DVD? The many, many Saturn Sky Roadster promotions that preceded every commercial when it aired on television. And for that, we happily say Auf Wiedershen. --Ellen A. Kim
