PLEASE, LET THIS BLOG BE "IN:" For those of you, like I, a bit frustrated that this season of TAR is (especially after this week) short on the "likeable," it's not time to abandon TAR (Jonathan's eventual and assured comeuppance is reason enough to keep watching), but it's time to add Project Runway to your viewing schedule (if it isn't already). The early process has eliminated most of the truly egregious and uninteresting candidates, and many truly likeable contestants remain, including Austin Scarlett, possibly the only man who can make Carson Kressley seem straight, Nora, who stands a decent shot at becoming this show's Omarosa, and Wendy, the mother hen of the group, and one of my favorite reality contestants in a long time. Aside from some overly blatant product placements ("Cotton is the official fabric of 'Project Runway'") and an oddball show ending disclaimer that notes that producers and Bravo had input into elimination decisions rather than straight scores determining it (a fact that may have saved Nora and/or Austin this week), it's well worth the TiVo, even with Wednesday nights already being a TiVo overload for me (the "Alias"/"West Wing" conflict is killing me--I watched "West Wing" on one TV while TiVoing "Alias" on the other).
