Project Runway 8 to feature 90-minute episodes, moves to 9 pm

Omigosh this is so exciting! I love Project Runway!

Looks like they've gotten rid of the Models of the Runway and extended the episodes by 30 minutes. And what now? 3 contestants collapsed on the set? What did they feed them?

Project Runway also starts earlier now at 9 pm. The premiere is July 29 Thursday on Lifetime.

From AP:

A bigger "Project Runway" is coming to a television near you.

Host Heidi Klum says each episode will be 90 minutes when the reality show returns July 29 on the Lifetime network. That's 30 minutes more drama each week — and that's just how Klum likes it.

"We did get always a few complaints from people that they wanted to see a little bit more, which we were obviously very excited about," she said in a phone interview. "So now we have half an hour more."

That means 30 minutes more drama each week, which this season is set to include ample tears and ambulance visits for three contestants who collapsed on the set.

After spending a season in Los Angeles, "Project Runway" is returning to New York City. The show is also moving to an earlier time slot: 9 p.m. instead of 10 p.m.
