Project Runway: Season four preview part one

Posted by Dan November 12th, 2007 at 11:20am In Project Runway

I can’t believe it. We’ve (read I’ve) been so caught up in fretting about the writers’ strike that I’ve neglected the fact that Project Runway debuts on Wednesday night!

Seriously, guys, where are my damn priorities?

That said, let’s take a look at the players for season four. I don’t have any sort of inside, blogger scoop on these folks, but I think it’ll be good to get to know them before we see the season premiere — just so’s we know who we’re dealing with.

It’ll be just good old fashioned knee-jerk judgments based on photos, bios and cursory Web searches. Of course, if the internet is good for anything, it’s good for posting ill-researched opinions for all the world to see.

So here’s part one. Digest it. Contemplate it. Then, before you know it, we’ll be back with the rest.
