Movieline's Guide to Each New Project Runway Contestant
Name: Anna Lynett
Age: 23
From: Whitefish Bay, WI
Caveat: Unobjectionably cute, like a blend of Season Three's Alison and Movieline's own Julie Miller. But she may be the blandest screen presence the show has seen yet, save... Zoe Glassner.
Name: Christiane King
Age: 30
From: Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire
Caveat: Calls herself a "veteran of Project Runway auditions." And her knack for color is probably too Jessica McClintock for Nina Garcia's taste.
Name: Janeane Ceccanti
Age: 28
From: Willows, CA
Caveat: Is incredible with fit. But "fit" does not a Project Runway winner make. Channeling Kara Janx!
Name: Pamela Ptak
Age: 47
From: Pittsfield, MA
Caveat: Her favorite "designer" is God. It's going to be juicy when he guest-judges.
Name: Jesus Estrada
Age: 21
From: Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico
Caveat: Brought illegal seal fur to his audition. Tim Gunn was offended within four seconds.
Name: Jesse LeNoir
Age: 25
From: Painesville, OH
Caveat: In his audition tape, he (rather jokingly) touts his heterosexuality. It's already (rather jokingly) a little tiring.
Name: Jonathan Peters
Age: 29
From: Woonsocket, RI
Caveat: Created a mini-dress with an enormous crotch applique. We may have a toned-down Blayne Walsh (seriously, much less bronzer) on our hands.
Name: Maya Luz
Age: 22
From: Santa Fe, NM
Caveat: This season's "spiky things" designer. Though Christian Siriano approved in the audition, will impaled passersby be so willing to forgive?

It's nice to see the adult-to-fetus ratio evening out better this season, but I truly do wonder if talented designers are staying away from this show as if it were the plague?
Because last season was a wasteland. Waste. Land.
When I joined I was skeptical for just ten seconds before I realized what this was. I was smiling from ear to ear and you will too.
