FINALLY! Make it work!

‘Project Runway’ lawsuit settled; season 6 to air this summer on Lifetime (Entertainment Weekly)

After being orphaned for almost a year due to legal deadlock, the sixth season of Project Runway has finally found a home: on Lifetime, where it will air this summer. “NBC Universal, The Weinstein Company and Lifetime have resolved their disputes,” read a statement released today by NBC Universal, which owns Bravo, Runway’s home for five seasons. “The Weinstein Company will pay NBCU for the right to move Project Runway to Lifetime. All of the parties are pleased with the outcome.”

They didn't MOVE IT. Bravo did NOT protect Project Runway! Lifetime OUTBID Bravo. It's ALL Bravo's fault! and then - BRAVO - being the CRY BABY (aka - GORE) faught it and NEARLY cost us season 6 all together!

booooooooooo lifetime? are you kidding? I LOVE project runway. But I refuse to watch it on lifetime. they have already said they do not wish to keep the show the same and will make changes with the rules, judges and contestants. My biggest issue is that they want it to be a "unkown" pool of contestants. What makes project runway, IMHO, so great is that you get to see the best of the best compete . Now its gonna be super lame. gosh. i'm so disappointed.
