One day you're in...
The numbers are in, and the season four premiere of "Project Runway" was the cable network's highest rated season premiere.. ever.
Once I stopped feeling bad for poor Chris March as he hobbled toward those fabric tents, I was completely enthralled. The first challenge was a bit bland. Where's the creativity? Where are the whacky materials? Make those designers create model-sized couture by adapting dresses they're forced to purchase at Lane Bryant. Now that's a challenge!
I was convinced that the crazy marionette-making yoga lady was going to get the boot. The model couldn't even walk in Marionette lady's dress (she won't be on long enough for me to bother learning her name). But, alas, it was poor Simone who was auffed. Note to future contestants: Crazy is OK, boring is not.
The tall drink of water known as Rami (simply called "the hot Israeli" at my PR viewing party) won the challenge with an elegant, simple dress. It was safe, but pretty. Let's face it, he won the challenge by flirting with Tim Gunn.
Just kidding, Tim.
There are two things I already love to hate about this season of 'Runway.'
1. 
His bad hats.
2. 
His arrogance.
