Ten Seasons? The last 5 on Lifetime, not counting the All-Stars season where Mondo Guerra FINALLY got his due. At least Lifetime is FINALLY getting some traction, and investing some money into the show. Maybe PR will actually start crowning some deserving winners? Season 9′s victory for Anya kinda left us a little ambivalent about whether or not we wanted to ever watch the show again. Season 8′s victory for Gretchen nearly made us boycott the show. 

But here we are again. And I’m totally going to watch it. Partly, because the adorable Gunnar Deatherage is back. If you watched the first episode of Season 9, he was one of the five culled during the Battle Royale of the first episode. Hopefully he’ll survive a little longer this time.

Project Runway premieres Thursday night at 9pm, 8 central on Lifetime.
