Will a hand-picked “dream team” make Project Runway better or worse? What do you think?

Every season without fail, after the first episode of Project Runway debuts I find myself wondering how some of the contestants ever made it past the first cut of auditions! If you usually find yourself wondering the same thing, than you should be very excited about the latest batch of contestants on season seven— rather than hold an open call for the show, this year the process was far more selective. Contestants couldn’t just try out— they were “scouted out” like athletes and then invited to audition for the show! So, are you more excited to see what this fresh batch of talent has in store or are you bummed because the selection wasn’t really open to the general public? Either way, I’m thrilled the show is back in NYC and can’t wait to see more of my faves, (like Michael Kors and Nina Garcia), that I missed last season!
