Amanda's Take - Season 8 - Episode 2

Project Runway Season Three model, Amanda Fields, shares her perspective on the season 8 models. Thank you Amanda!

First thing's first: WHERE was the model elimination? Are designers just paired up with the model they have? That's not such a bad thing because they are all talented and striking. Of course, as a former PR model, I want there to be a model elimination process so that the catwalkers are narrowed down to who the designers decide are the best - and not whomever they are just with. It worked out well for season 2, but they addressed it each week. The winning designer had the opportunity to switch models. Perhaps this season the models are there to ... just be the models! They may not even be competing. Just doing their fabulous job! However they are doing this - I just want to be informed! TELL us, Heidi!

Billboard, BABY!

Ta da! The same week as this episode airs, I am on a video billboard in Times Square as well! It's for Hair Battle Spectacular on Oxygen. If you are in New York City and want to take a look, the last day to do so is Tuesday, August 10th! It's above the American Eagle store in Times Square 1551-1555 Broadway and will be playing from 10:30am - 2:30pm and 5pm - 9pm. I am wearing a fiery red wig!

It's back to familiar ground for Project Runway this evening as they kick off Episode 2 from the Atlas rooftop. Marie Claire magazine Editor-In-Chief Joanna Coles returns on what appears to be a steamy day by the looks of the Manhattan skyline. Things will be heating up around here tonight as well. Here's the plan:

• The BPR party room will be in full swing starting at 8:30 p.m. Come chime in on the happenings as we watch Episode 2 together. Die-hards are welcome to stick around for the Austin & Santino show afterwards. It's good, sometimes clean snarky fun!
• Tbone and suzq will be in the BPR play-play-play booth describing all the drama and design as it airs live from the east coast. We have the comment option open there as well for all of you without Lifetime access and others who can't wait to be spoiled.
• After the show, please stop by our weekly reactions thread to tell us what you really thought of the episode.

It's another Thursday night on BPR, we'll see you here!

A highlight: "And now to be very blunt: I was stunned that Jay won. His final look (see his garment in Rate the Runway) struck me as being more suitable for the Ice Capades than a fashion runway."
