An open letter to Heidi Klum:

I am a huge Project Runway fan. Huge. When the shows are airing I have a standing date with Morten that we download each episode from YouTube on Thursdays and eat dinner laying on the couch and watching it. (Special bonus: no comercials except for all the product placements.) I would look forward to it all week.

I generally dislike reality shows because all the fighting makes me feel uncomfortable and also because there is usually no point what so ever to the entire show. What I like about Project Runway is that (with the exception of season 3) there is very little fighting and the contestants are actually talented.

Anyway, the Weinstein Company (who are they?) tried to sell Project Runway to Lifetime and Bravo freaked out and took them to court. (Actually, I freaked out too. I cannot imagine Lifetime doing a good job of carrying on the spirit of the show. They'd probably fire all the gay characters and replace them with abused single mothers.)

Now, season 6 is filmed, edited, and the three finalists have showed at Bryant Park, and.....nothing. (Insert chirping cricket sounds) The show can't air until the court case is settled. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Here's what I want to see happen:

More of this:
Dear Heidi,

Please put on some cloths and get season 6 on the air. I am dying over here.
.
Sincerely,
Erika

    Info you may not have known:

    1. The show moved to Los Angeles, so now Nina Garcia isn't judging many of the challenges because she's stuck in New York. I think she sent some other Elle Magazine person to do it for her.

    2. When the finalists showed at Bryant Park they weren't able to go out on stage -- they showed 3 anonymous collections. How much does that suck for those designers?! No one even knows who the collections belong to.

    You're right, Lifetime would totally fuck it up. They would probably write a story line for one of the contestants that involved stealing someone else's baby. It would hardly be a first for that network! (In fact, I remember watching one of those movies and Becky from Full House was the mom whose baby got stolen. And speaking of Lifetime movies, I also saw one about a high school wrestler, Fred Savage of The Golden Years, who kills his girlfriend, D.J. of Full House. Obviously a desperate attempt to change their image after their family-friendly shows went off the air!)
