Obsessed with Project Runway

Project Runway Season 2 from Amazon
I have had a cable-free house for over a decade mainly because I lack any antibodies to turn off the TV. I love Netflix since once my wife and I watch our DVDs we have to wait a few days before we watch anything else. This has been great, but over the past 5 years we've racked up 700 rentals and made it through most of the movies we ever imagined we'd want to watch. We've been limping by with a real reach of titles from our recommendations and wondering where our next source for content... and then came iTunes. Now we're finding there are years and years worth of embarassingly engaging TV programming that we can access instantly and finally understand why all of our friends were talking about getting fired in the "boardroom" and how odd neighbors can be. Our newest find is Project Runway which is the Apprentice reality show for fashion designer hopefuls. We started with the current season and are really enjoying it. The personalities are endearing and besides one character (*Angela*) that seems like a plant (is that part of the reality TV gig?), the interaction is very believable. Although I have a very limited view of the space, I recommend it as the best of the reality TV I've come across--well besides my brief immersion in Japan's crazy, crazy reality TV.
