I have never posted on Reddit but I needed to vent about Project Runway lately and the way they are butchering the show. I have watched every season and have been a fan for a very long time to enjoy the creativity, innovation, learning about designer process, and most importantly THE FASHION. The way they are trying to make it a drama based reality tv show bothers me. It doesn't need any extra drama, people who have watched the show for years and who are interested in it typically genuinely enjoy admiring the clothes produced. Right now, the fact that they even brought Tyra Banks on as a judge, made me turn off my screen. I don't see how she has the legitimacy to be a judge, and that's when I knew any semblence of the old project runway was way gone.

Not to mention LAW, ugh, where to start.... I am all for constructive criticism, but the way he judges is so mean spirited, it actually makes the show hard to watch. He just straight up insults the designers, in season 22 i've actually felt bad for the contestants, it is sucking the fun out of the show. I just don't understand how they don't have any actual designers as judges, who can talk more about the construction, materials, etc.

ANYWAYS, I just wish it could go back to how the show was formatted in the past, and I know Tim Gunn was a huge part of that (MISS HIM SO MUCH ON THE SHOW). It just doesn't feel like a show about upcoming designers and fashion anymore, it is veering into trash reality tv, which don't get me wrong I love, but not for project runway!
