Who Should Be on Project Runway's All-Star Season?

Is there anything on earth more exciting than an all-star season of a reality competition show? Obviously not: The Amazing Race is just finishing one, Top Model is doing one, Top Chef just did one, and now, for the first time ever, Project Runway is solving their casting problems by doing one, too. So, assuming past winners are ineligible (which means no Christian Siriano or hate-fueling Jeffrey Sebelia, unfortunately), who should come back? Here's our wish list:

Daniel Vosovic (Season 2)
Besides the fact that he should have won his season (unfinished business!), he's also just adorable and I flat-out miss having the guy on my TV.

Mondo Guerra (Season 8)
Everything I just said about Daniel V? Applies here too.

Kenley Collins (Season 5)
Nothing but bitchface, design theft and incessant talk of tugboats. Oh, how I need to hate on Kenley all over again anew.

Anthony Williams (Season 7)
Everybody wrote this guy off as untalented and trying way too desperately to be a reality "character" at first, but over the course of his season he turned out to be really endearing, witty and actually pretty damn talented at times. I'd love to see how he's grown as a designer over the past couple years.

Jillian Lewis (Season 4)
Some say she's boring, I say she's captivatingly boring. She's like a lava lamp that makes cute dresses and I want more.

Austin Scarlett (Season 1)
What's an all-star season of anything, really, without a beautiful Gatsby-themed dandy in tow?

Althea Harper (Season 6)
Sweet girl, very marketable designs, but most importantly, remember how she used to dress like an '80s prostitute? I'd love to see how all that's going.

Michael Knight (Season 3)
Because, frankly, this show has been sorely lacking in animal prints since he left it.

Ivy Higa (Season 8)
She and Kenley would either join forces and destroy their competition or turn on each other and annihilate all living matter with one 80-kiloton bitch bomb apiece. What fun!

And as for my obvious snub, Chris March is already getting his own show on Bravo, so I feel like my Chris March needs will be met by the time Runway All-Stars starts. Just clarifying.

Your thoughts? Come on, I know there's got to be a Wendy Pepper superfan out there somewhere.

I loved Daniel V! As soon as I heard this announced, I wished he would be on it.

I like your list. Maybe because I'm partial to Season 3 (the best season of "Project Runway") I would like to add Laura Bennett and Uli.

Daniel V already won a one-off all star challenge (Korto was robbed - again)so I feel he doesn't need another shot to win a season. I almost feel they should have people who didn't make it very far in their season. That way, we can get to know them as well seeing if they have any other depth. If not, Korto should be in the there because she was robbed twice.

They MUST get Laura. And hopefully let Jeffrey no where near this.

Can't wait to see Mondo again--he's my all-time favorite of those who didn't win (he SHOULD HAVE!!)

For purely personal and non-design reasons, I would kill to have Santino, Andre and Tim Gunn together in a room again- perhaps for a red lobster sponsored challenge.

Oh, and Daniel Franco so he can be booted yet again.

Santino, Andre, Laura, Mondo, Austin...The possibilities are ENDLESS. I can't wait.

They will undoubtedly bring back Laura just to annoy the hell out of me. I know I'm probably the only person in the world who loathed her, but I did. I'm not sure I could bring myself to watch the all-star season if she was on it.

Oh, who am I kidding? I'll totally watch. But I'll be making a stink face every time Laura is on the screen, you can rely on that.

Uli for the win! Would LOVE to see what she's been up to. Please, no IVY! Swap Laura Bennett or Korto or Santino for her!

Oh dear Lord, please please PLEASE, bring back the Santino/Andrae power duo. I bought Season 2 on DVD just for the dramedy in those two. (Best quote of the season: "I... was... beDRAGGLED.")

And Daniel Franco, purely for the joy in booting his ass again.

Gossip Girl has it right - this is not the "first time ever" for Project Runway All Stars. Lifetime cranked one out just prior to Season 6.

Sign me up for the Laura (fashions for those who are about to undergo open heart surgery)Bennett dislike club. Ugh.

Daniel Franco would just stalk Heidi again, and that was creepy enough the first time.

Not Uli, please. I've seen enough print mumuus to last a lifetime.

Nick from Season 2, yes? Loved him almost as much as Daniel V. And as much as I dislike Santino, the guy does briliant impersonations, so bring him back. Just don't let him win!

Bring back Santino! Daniel V and Laura would be great also. Thank goodness no Gretchen!
