Fabulous from head to toe, Project Runway differs from many of its reality-show peers in that 1) its contestants are actually skilled at a difficult trade (in this case, fashion design) and 2) it boasts the most engaging hosts (supermodel Heidi Klum and Parsons Fashion chair Tim Gunn, who's become a breakout star himself). Season Two benefits from a more streamlined process--gone is the model-picking cattle call every episode--and a cast twice as memorable as Season One. Compare the ideas of kind fashion teacher Nick vs. wearable-technology geek Diana; the profound commentary of South African boho-chick Kara ("there's a life to the garment") vs. dim-bulb early cast-off Heidi ("I thought it was just, pretty… I mean, she looked pretty"). Revel in the arrogant musings, over-the-top designs, and dead-on Tim Gunn impressions of Santino Rice, who was wrongly mislabeled the villain of Project Runway. That honor truly goes to bossy witch Zulema, who never met an excuse she didn't like, and broke a gentleman's agreement by swiping Nick's "muse," model Tarah, halfway through the season (In a bittersweet end, Zulema's subsequent ousting forced an early exit for Tarah as well). There's even a surprise return of Season One's Daniel Franco, whose quivering voice and shuffle added even more spice to the pot. This season's challenges included designing for Barbie, heiress Nicky Hilton, figure skater Sasha Cohen, and supermodel Iman; creating outfits from the clothes off their back; and designing a garden-party dress out of flowers and plants. Watching their creations (which are, in many cases, impressive) criticized by grumpy judges Michael Kors and Elle fashion director Nina Garcia makes for some of the best drama on television. The DVD includes the full, uncut versions of Santino's runway argument with Nina and flamboyant contestant Andre's weepy breakdown in front of the judges (9 minutes, 53 seconds); more musical numbers invented by Santino and Nick ("No one's gonna sew no mooooore"); footage of the cast's audition tapes, and a Where Are They Now? featurette with Season One's contestants. A must-have accessory for fans of the show. --Ellen A. Kim

My Favorite Season of One Of My Favorite Shows!
I remember when this show first came out & tons of people that weren't really into fashion, or could barely dress without having a real fashionista yell fashion victim say that they were really into this. Me being the slave to fashion that i am just never got around to watching the show.
I found myself at Staples the other day buying some pens, when i came across an eight dollar DVD rack at the register. I found myself glued to a bargain, but had no intention of getting anything else buy pens that day. Needless to say i was rummaging and found Project Runway season two in the pile of sorted DVDs and decided to examine it thoroughly before finally making a choice. I had to make sure it was a very long show, had enough episodes, and had decent extras before i finally decided to purchase the season two set.
This is my favorite season and it's the awesome cast that really makes it a stand out, knock out, special season. There was crazy Andrae with his insane gestures, Santino with his crazy over the top jokes including a dead on impersonation of Tim Gunn, down to earth genuine cutie pie Nick Verreos who really should have been in the top three, and Zelema Griffin who turned up the heat when she said to Kara: "You can cry, but you have to sew and cry." And let's not forget when she decided to get fierce and had a fashion model walk off in episode eight.
I am so hooked on this show that i ran out for all the other season though i was a bit disappointed in season three. Please pick up this DVD and watch the show everyone's been talking about. Great season, great cast, great extras.
The best season October 4, 2009

PROJECT RUNWAY is above and beyond my very favorite reality show. The way it is filmed and produced is so impressive. The shows gets truly talented designers as contestants, the judges are true infamous people in the fashion industry and Heidi Klum is a very intelligent and articulate host who is just as knowledgable on the fashion as the judges. And the biggest star is Tim Gunn, the kind of mentor we all wish we had. He is the true heart of the show as he shares his wisdom and guidance on each garment being made.
Season 1 became a huge hit and season 2 came on at an even more entertaining level. The caliber and diversity of the designers is immense. Also the personalities were a perfect mix for some real fun back stage drama. My favorite has always been Daniel V but we also have Santino, Andre, Diana, Chloe and Nick. The challenges are imaginative and lots of fun. This dvd set is a must have for there are truly extended episodes with added never before seen footage. There are is also a ton of extras on this season. Bloopers and extended footage of the shows highlights. The WEAR ARE THEY NOW segments are also very informative.
I must comment on the review that stated it was all staged and that the judges don't actually make the decision on who is eliminated. Reviews here are meant for personal opinions. We may not agree with others but all have a right to voice their opinions. But stating facts incorrectly just infuriates me. The print at the end of the show cleary states that the judges consider the opinions of the producers and the network Bravo as well when making the elimination decision. But they are ultimately the final voice. This makes perfect sense and is perfectly acceptable. Michael Kors is a world renowned designer and Nina Garcia is huge in the fashion industry. There are also guest judges such as Vera Wang. These people are all of the highest caliber and the show is first rate. None of these people would participate on something that was not truly on the up and up. This show is a hugely enjoyable foundation that honestly judges the contestants fashion. It just upsets me that this misinformation could keep someone from watching the show.
If you have never seen this show you must give it a try. It will suck you in and you will become a fashionista more than you ever imagined. I can watch thes seasons over and over.
Every season is intelligent, truly based on the creations of talented designers and the show builds to fashion week when the final 3 get to showcase their line. Such fun and such talent.

Loooooooooooovvvvvvee this one! I love the personalities, the challenges, the ups and downs, the competition, the judges' comments, and, of course, Tim Gunn: his outstanding charm, fashion sense, and his no-nonsense-get-a-clue advice delivered with compassion. It's fashion, NYC, Fashion Week, etc!!!!! Love the extras included on the second dvd.
