I gotta get my DVR ready. Project Runway starts tomorrow night in an earlier timeslot, and will be running at the same time as So You Think You Can Dance.

This is my favorite and most socially acceptable bubble gum reality show, and the season premier just snuck up on me. I think I know why..

This season, PR will still be shown on Bravo, the network which probably wouldn’t still exist without the flagship program that helped to build it’s viewership. Next season, though, this once-great, trend-bucking behemoth is getting shunted over to Lifetime (the network for idiots), to rub elbows with “Not Without My Daughter”, made for TV movies starring Meredith Baxter Berney. Hopefully it won’t catch the dumb via osmosis.

It has something to do with the Producer deciding to switch channels, for a bigger paycheck I’m sure. But Bravo has apparently been doing everything short of outright sabotage in order to avoid promoting a show that will start it’s 6th season immediately following this one, but on a competing channel.

Bravo took away PR’s production team, The Magical Elves. This is the most egregious of their offenses, and I’m worried for the overall quality this year. PR struck a magical balance for Reality TV-land, pairing a smattering of human drama, (without which the characters would fail to connect with the audience) with an actual inside look into the design and creation of some fabulous clothes. I want to see the work occasionally, not just the manufactured drama. If that delicious recipe is altered by the new team, Runway could quickly turn into a farce.

Bravo has also failed to advertise the start of the new series with any noticeable vigor, and worse yet, they have already published per episode summaries of the entire season on BravoTV.com, get this, listed IN REVERSE ORDER, with the final episode summary topping off the first page. Don’t expect to be checking in if you missed an episode without accidentally spoiling something for yourself later on.

There are no winner names listed but they do give you everything from the name of the guest judge to the type of challenge presented in the episode! Don’t click here if you don’t want to know those things.

In better news, they still have Heidi, Tim Gunn, Nina Garcia, and Michael Kors, and that’s half the battle right there.

For all the heckling, I am still very excited, and I’ll be back tomorrow with a contestant rundown, and completely uninformed guesses concerning who will go the distance, and who will flame out in screaming agony.

My first guess for the latter is Stella, who’s fashion-must is listed as “Vest”.

Let’s just see what Tim Gunn has to say about that.
