Reality TV Confessions: Project Runway

I'm a bit of a fictional TV snob, but I have to admit there are some reality shows that I find quite entertaining. While I am not an avid viewer of any particular show, occasionally I will catch a marathon or some reruns and become quite invested in a season of show.

So what did I turn on instead of the debate Wednesday night, because let's face it, nothing on this earth is going to make me vote for John McCain: the Season 5 Finale of Project Runway!

My Review: I have to say I was happy Leanne won, from everything I've seen of hers, throughout the show, I think she deserved it. Plus that blue dress was my absolute favorite piece out of all of the collections. Though I'll admit, at the end I was rooting for Korto, I think her line was my favorite at Bryant Park, although perhaps not as well polished as Leanne's. And while I was impressed by Kenley's clothes, even though half the time I personally don't understand them, I think she squanders her talent when she's so stubborn and arrogant. But overall the show was quite entertaining and definitely succeeded in making my feel very lame lounging around my apartment in an old t-shirt and jeans.

To see the winning clothes, check out this 40 second recap of Leanne's runway show at Bryant Park:
