Project Runway Canada – Episode 3

Published by

I haven’t been blogging the show. I have been watching. I even attended the Project Runway Canada show at fashion week but I’m sworn to secrecy. I’m enjoying the show overall but I have to agree with Nathalie Atkinson about the shows faults. I don’t really understand the Winners connection and yes, Iman’s delivery is awkward. However, Episode three is where I thought we would finally say goodbye to Megan. She’s scraped by the last two challenges. Alas, that didn’t happen, which just cements the whole “reality tv” aspect of the show. She makes for good television. I love Stephen Wong and after seeing him running around during fashion week I love him more. It was a little surreal seeing the contestants pretty much everywhere I went last week.
