OK Lifetime, what have you done with them?

You can trick us into thinking it's the same old "Project Runway" with the same set, the same music, and the same Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum. But where in world are you hiding Nina Garcia and Michael Kors?

This week's judging panel was far too subdued without Kors's endless quips and Garcia's disapproving nods (Don't bore Nina!). If moving the show to L.A. means less of Kors and Garcia, I'm ready to stage a revolt. I won't stop watching, but I'll grumble loudly every time I see these two missing from the panel. Yes, it's fun to see how many male designers the show's producers can dig up to fill Kors's seat, but none have effectively matched his catty wit.

From a less selfish point of view, I'm wondering if the endless parade of judges might be throwing off the results of the show. Shouldn't the same people be judging every week for continuity?

  1. Garcia and Kors had commitments that prevented them from traveling to L.A. for all the shows.

    But be of good cheer! Kors, at least, will be back next week.

  1. I think it's better to have a fresh set of judges every time. That way, their thoughts about the current week's designs aren't marred by past mistakes. I think when you have the same judges looking at the same designers every week, they pick favorites and forget about the other designers. That's why the same two or three people won challenge after challenge on past seasons.
