242: Project Runway Makes It Work At Bravo (Again)

242: Project Runway Makes It Work At Bravo (Again)

Author: Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV March 20, 2019 Duration: 1:49:12

Project Runway returns to Bravo for its 17th season (the spread-eagle), and Fug Girls Jessica Morgan and Heather Cocks return to the podcast to talk about new judges, new mentor Christian Siriano, a new challenge "twist" we all dislike, and the same old reliable show structure. We make some shot-in-the-dark guesses about the season's eventual winner, too, while feeling relieved the show has a proper budget again. Then it's a super-size Around The Dial discussing Shrill, Instant Hotel, the return of Hoarders, Summer House, and Mental Samurai before we tucked into some wine and cheese with Caroline's Extra Credit on our favorite shows to snack in front of. Spring was in the air for Heather's presentation of a first-season Beverly Hills, 90210 for the Canon; Great British Bake Off won, and Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin lost, some more; and we had our Phil of "Easy Lover," Jacqueline's love-triangle Game Time. Where's Andre? He's listening to an all-new Extra Hot Great.
