Dear Lifetime,
I have another humble suggestion for Project Runway Season 9... a "Wild Card" competition.
It could happen like this:
The designers are narrowed down to the top three and these three are guaranteed spots in the finale, but before sending them home to create their collections there is a little twist.
The eliminated designers receive a note asking them to meet Heidi and Tim and the finalists on the runway. Heidi announces that they are ALL going home to create collections. They all receive a budget and plenty of time to create their looks. (In my scenario, they go home in July and have until January to create their collections for the February show.) When they all come back for fashion week, the eliminated designers present three looks to the judges and the judges select a "Wild Card" designer for the fourth spot in the finale.
The Wild Card designer is not a decoy but is eligible for the win and receives the same options (models, stylists, etc.) as the regular finalists.
I believe this would be good for everyone - the designers, the fans, the show, the judges, and the network.

Project Runway is my favorite show and I will watch it until the very last episode, however I would like to respectfully submit several suggestions that might possibly improve things in the future:
1. Production: Please bring in a new production team. I would like to suggest Rich Bye. He's the man who brought the magic to the Magical Elves and now he has his own production company called Goodbye Pictures. You might already know him...
I'd also like to suggest Tim Gunn as Executive Producer. Tim knows and cares more about Project Runway than anyone else. He is the heart of the show. The fans adore and respect him. Perhaps he should have more input and decision-making power.
Also the show really only needs 60 minutes. A tightly-edited 60-minute show would be great.
If you are interested in a new 30-minute show I would like to suggest a show that follows Mondo Guerra as he moves to Los Angeles, deals with his new-found fame and meets prospective clients etc. I would watch that.

“Well listen, if this was Project I Didn’t Mind It, then he would win”
When Milla Jovavich - one of the few bright spots in the endless parade of guest judges we’ve seen in S6 - said this to her co-judges concerning Logan Neitzel’s destination design, she could have been speaking about the whole season. Longtime recappers have given up on the show, ratings have dropped, commenters are complaining and maybe worst of all, many fans don’t seem to care what happens next. As we head into the finale, there is no denying that the quality of Season 6 has left us only with a feeling of malaise and apathy.
But this isn’t ‘Project I Didn’t Mind It’, this is Project Runway. We’ve come to expect so much more from the show we love. After suffering through an interminable legal battle and waiting nearly a year between seasons, fans were eager for a fresh start on a new network. And after a strong opening, who would have ever guessed that PR would routinely get beat out by the Real Housewives of Atlanta? Surely this isn’t what Lifetime bargained for.
How did this all go so wrong so fast? And what can be done to stop the decline?Click here to continue reading The Struggles Of Season 6.
