I think it was in the coming attractions for next week, Vortex.

I didn't notice they had switched. Is this being shown in the model show? Because I was kind of surprised that they did not have the whole "do you want to keep your model?" non-drama

The first two model shows have ended with the model picking and one of the models being auf-ed. And the designers have been switching a lot. I think more than in past seasons. So in that sense, yes, it is finally also a competition for the models as well. That aspect has been pretty much the only intersting part of the otherwise disappointing Models of the Runway. The models have very definite opinions about which designers they want and which ones they don't want and very different strategies (some want to switch, some want to stick with their designers).

The Epperson/Qristyl thing was teased in the previews for the next episode. It seems that they wind up paired together and things do not go well.

Five Reasons Why Project Runway Is Over:

Yeah, I think anyone who's ready to deem the show "over" after two competitions, and two where the overall work was strong, at that, was just looking for a reason to write that.

1.) Obviously, the author is more interested in big, loud personalities then the actual competition. Which is valid, but I've been perfectly happy to see less drama and more concentration on the actual clothes. (Of course, there will be drama. But it's not a priority for me.)

2.) Malvin and Ari were neither forward-thinking or edgy, although I presume they were brought on with that hope. Turns out, they were just batty and, worse, boring. Best to get rid of them now. The first few episodes are pretty much just a clearinghouse every season of what's just obviously not going to work. The order doesn't much matter.

3.) Again, just two episodes in, I think the author is leaping to conclusions with "The Mommy Demographic" (as if Heidi hasn't wanted to do that challenge for years) and the absence of gays. (Am I wrong in thinking that most of the male competitors are gay, once again? I mean, seriously. And while I'm at it, note to Fatima: LOGAN IS GAY AND HE WILL NEVER, EVER RETURN YOUR FEELINGS FOR HIM!!!! Ahem. Seriously, I'm just not seeing it being overly different from past seasons, except that maybe there's not as many drama queens in the workroom. Yet.

Also, didn't they start filming this ages ago, while the battle over who was going to air it was going on? I hardly think every change can be attributed to it being on Lifetime.

You're right about the maternity challenge, too. I'm surprised this is the first season they've done it, to be honest -- they've done uniforms, wedding dresses, swimwear, and wrestling costumes, for god's sake.

I think it's always hard to get into in the first few episodes -- there are too many people, and they're all too nervous and still getting used to the pace and the challenges. Once the crowd thins out, it's always more compelling.

I am disappointed they haven't done anything wacky yet, but am assuming that will come.

2.) Malvin and Ari were neither forward-thinking or edgy, although I presume they were brought on with that hope. Turns out, they were just batty and, worse, boring. Best to get rid of them now.

victor speaks the truth. Further, it always used to chap my ass when they'd keep someone like Blaine around just for the freak factor. How much better would that season have been without all the 'licious and the outfits that looked like the model was wearing a maxi-pad or pooing fabric out her ass?

And the gay thing is just ridiculous. If Ra'Mon and Mitchell and Johnny were any more out, they'd loop all the way back around to "in" again. And Ra'Mon giving Logan the business about turning into Stella with all the "leatha" was a little slice of comedy gold.

A commenter over at Project Rungay referred to Mitchell as the young Vincent, and everyone else was properly horrified.

I loved that! I was like, "Hey, he watched last season!"

Plus, Stella! Stella was hysterical.
