Project Runway

Project Runway is such a great show and I'm so glad it was able to find a home on another channel willing to dig more deeply into its pockets.  In fact Tim would do better therefore to exhort the "designers" to make it with pockets instead of  "Make it work."  Why do they always take the "designers" to the local Bohack's to buy an old salami and a plastic tablecloth meant for some picnic with hotdogs and putrid salmonella-laden macaroni salad.  Oh, I almost forgot the plastic garbage bags, gotta have those.  The "designers" are then supposed to make glamorous outfits out of those salamis, checkered tablecloths, and garbage bags.  Is that  what real designers do?  Granted some of the outfits that I see in the stores do look it.  Anyway, then the "designers" are judged by people who allegedly know fashion, like the lady who escaped from Colombia with her sense of style intact, or the chubby old lady who forgot that once you take the roller out of the front of your dyed hair that something more still needed to be done to it.
And why does Heidi always end the show by kissing the loser (normally someone whose work she has just attacked), and saying "Auf wiedersehen?"  Is she really going to see them again?  And the show is American, what's with the "Auf wiedersehen?"  Shouldn't she end with English?  Something like "Ciao, baby."
