I wasn't going to watch the Behind the Seams special, since I was already over this season of Project Runway, but the power of Tim Gunn compelled me.
While most of it was filled with a lot of rehash, there was a good amount of time dedicated to Tim Gunn's opinionated take on the worst challenges (highlighting the rock band and stilts episodes), his hatred of designers using glue guns, his disgust with the constant fabric dyeing this season and his hope to put the kibosh on sewing models into the clothes instead of using zippers or other fasteners. This would probably mean that the likes of Anya would never win again (which should make Josh very happy) but it would also force everyone to really step up their game.
But the most touching moment came in the last few minutes when Tim Gunn got all choked up because the designers surprised him with a video love letter about how much he meant to them, and a plaque for being the best mentor around. It was fairly moving, and wonderful to see how much this man actually means to these people, even when he's questioning their design sensibilities.
The full episode is below. I'd stop and watch any time Tim is talking, but skip right to the last five minutes or so to see the really refreshingly sweet reality TV moment.

Why was runner-up Josh not there with the others? He gave a video tribute to Tim but otherwise was MIA. Nerves still raw from losing or were producers worried he would chill he moment with needless rancor and drama? He missed out on 60 minutes of free air time.
I was disappointed by this wrap-up of what may have been the worst PR season ever. I was, foolishly, hoping for a little more straight talk about bad judging and blatant favoritism. And, in love with Tim Gunn as I am, I was sorry to hear him dissing Bert's collection in terms of "relevance" while praising the other also-rans to the sky. I would buy many of Bert's designs in a heartbeat if I could possibly afford them. Which I can't.
No Josh on Behind the Seams - why?
I'm surprised the Bravo overlords still let you cover this show.
Tim is now a producer, and it shows.
All that blah, blah, blah love toward Anya's draping (while lovely) non-designed clothes, and kissing *ss, while dissing Bert's beautiful collection... he's a fricking robot now.
Our beloved St. Tim is gone. And so am I.
The camera work was driving me insane. Every 10 seconds, they would shift to his right side camera, just like clockwork. It became comical. Lifetime...
So where was Josh? Still no answer. Are they changing the name of the show to Project Caribbean? Very disappointing. The judges missed the mark two seasons in a row!
owesome blog, keep it up :)
great job, I like your blog
