You vill make it VERK!

For me, Bravo’s PROJECT RUNWAY has always been the only truly worthwhile reality TV show, the one smart, creative people could enjoy without irony or guilt. The focus on individual creativity, the lack of obvious editorial meddling, and of course, the presence of Tim Gunn (the best TV dad since Cliff Huxtable) all contributed to making it the only RTV series that’s really worth defending — and this coming from me, who’s spent years trying to figure out why anyone gives a shit about High Fashion.

So I was surprisingly excited to find out that RUNWAY is coming back for a fourth season, Tim Gunn and all (there was some question about whether he would return after he went and got his own show). This is good news, if only because it means I get to spend another season annoying Jill with my awful, Nazi Commandant-ish impersonations of Heidi Klum.

Klum: “Von off you vill be IN, und von off you… VILL BE OOOOOOOUUUTZ!!”

(And yes, I realize this makes two posts in a row about fashion-related reality shows. I don’t know what’s happening to me, either.)
