Grading Project Runway's 17 New Designers

Michael D.

Pro: Openly hopes to be a tacky designer. Wants to design for Bjork.

Con: But again, is he too nice? I need my designers to openly hate others too.

Nicholas

Pro: He's funny!

Con: He's frosty-tipped!

Kristin

Pro: Clothes exemplify that street-savvy fabulousness I associate with season five's Terri. In fact, she kind of looks like Terri.

Con: Gives us plenty of hoods that turn into neckerchiefs and fannypacks and stuff. A little pedestrian in its ludicrousness.

Sarah

Pro: Made an adorable "kitty dress" with an insane kitty print.

Con: Look at her audition video. The judges called her work ugly, yet she's on the show. Dubious casting, thy name is Bunim-Murray Productions.

Valerie

Pro: Loves Leanne Marshall, and you can see it in her designs

Con: But is she exciting enough on camera? Sigh.

Mondo

Pro: Wears knee socks and little shorts!

Con: Wears knee socks and little shorts. (I'll be over it by episode three.)

Peach

Pro: Shares a name with a Mariokart 64 character.

Con: Pretty much everything else. As my dear friend Jessica noted, her designs look like they were rendered by "a second grader who doesn't understand that grownups have boobs."
