The 2nd season of Project Runway, featuring Santino Rice, Nick Verreos, Daniel Voscivic, Chloe Dao, and other memorable designers. Who will ever forget the scenes where Santino imitates Tim Gunn with his inimitable: "Andre, where's Andre?"

Movie Reviews
Fascinating watching; some of the best broadcast programming

"While season 1 was great and compelling, season 2 trumps season 1. This gives you a real insider's view of what creating fashion is all about. You might quibble with some individual winners and losers, but in the last result the winner is truly the best of the lot. While I suppose you could have caught this all when originally broadcast or re-broadcast or indeed re-re-broadcast, the season is best watched in sequence. While my pick of the whole shebang is Santino's wonderful gown, showcased at the end of his runway show, Chloe's runway presentation is sensational.
All I could have wished for is a bit more follow-up on the winning and losing designers, and of course a coverage of Kara's own runway show (evidently, the final was filmed before the 3 finalists were chosen, but only the runway shows of those top 3 made it onto the air).
Obviously, I await season 3 with eager anticipation!"
Lighten up, it's just fashion

"Fabulous. Even though All seasons of this show seem to marathon daily on Bravo, each episode on the DVD has lots of conversations that were edited out of the original airing and my favorite--songs. With Santino' great pipes "Daniel Franco where did you Go" is a sure hit, as is Santino and Andre's duet "Don't let Emmit on the serger." Lots of fabulous quotes and everybody's audition tapes (Daniel Vosovic's is the best) are a must see bonus feature. Plus you get to watch it whenever you want, and replay the songs over and over and over. If you like fashion and unforgetable people-this is definitely worth your money."
Terrific cast, compelling viewing -- always

"I haven't been so transfixed by a series in a long time. This reality show is akin to an epic drama. What drives it is that centers around the act of artistic creation from start to finish. The contestants are designers hoping to make it to show their design collection at New York's Fashion Week. They're given a different challenge at the beginning of each episode, and each episode culminates in the fashion show in which one contestant is proclaimed a winner, and one contestant "will be out." This particular season boasted an incredible cast of unforgettable characters. Heidi Klum is excellent as host and judge, Tim Gunn is perfect as mentor, Nina Garcia and Michael Kors know their fashion. Project Runway is filled with creativity, beauty, and drama. I can watch it over and over again."
They Definitely Made It Work

"The second season of Project Runway is definitely my favorite season. From the antics (and sometimes insane designs) of Santino, the wit of Nick, and watching Daniel V. go from being almost unseen in the first few episode to one of the best designers of the season, it's reality TV at its best.
The DVDs are loaded with extras. The best part of the DVDs, however, are the extensions added to the episodes. They range from as little as a new reaction shot to covering when the designers went for manicures and pedicures during the Makeover Challenge. Most of the bravotv.com bonus videos have been incorporated into the challenges they came from, and the rest are left under the Special Features.
All in all, this is one of the best DVD treatments I've seen for any television show, period."
