Comments on: Why Won’t Project Runway (Or Lifetime) Show Gay Romancing? http://www.queerty.com/why-wont-project-runway-or-lifetime-show-gay-romancing-20091026/ Free of an agenda. Except that gay one.

Let's be real for a second, when there were still over a dozen designers on the show and about two minutes of airtime for each of them.... should the editors have focused on the clothing or on the budding gay romance. I vote clothing. Wasn’t that guy kicked off in week two?

It is way too predictable, they keep letting crappy designers slink by because of the drama they bring, etc... And is it me or does the crop of designers keep getting weaker and weaker with each passing season? Mewowzer, I agree.

It is so predictable now. You can tell who is going to be eliminated just by how the show is edited. Watch the interviews during the show. Who is getting the most air time? Who is bashing the other designers? Who has all the drama? It's a dead giveaway. Plus, I agree with whoever said earlier they are "straightening" it out to please their female demographic. I want the show to be about the challenges and the fashion. I couldn't give a crap about the personal drama. I was hoping Lifetime would change that from Bravo. No luck. Oh well, count me out for next season. i think this will be my last season of watching PR. It is so predictable now. You can tell who is going to be eliminated just by how the show is edited.

I know our romances burn fast and furious, but not that fast. Of course, you'd never know that one of the two parties was not on the show long enough for them to show a burgeoning romance for the way this story is written. You'd also hardly know that the issue in question happened over a year ago. This is why today is the first time I've been to Queerty in a couple of weeks, and now I remember why. Come on guys, get it together. Wesley was on for all of two episodes which spanned the course of about five days. I know our romances burn fast and furious, but not that fast.

It's about vain gay male designers propping up even vainer women. The women are pathetic creatures with self-esteem issues. The fashion industry is the ultimate vanity industry.

In a sense, the fashion industry can be thought of as homophobic in that it accepts flamboyant gays (who make heterosexuals feel safe) but doesn't accept their romances.

I dont think they're trying to cut away the gayness so much as trying to re-invent themselves, which may come across as disingenuous when compared to other seasons...I love Ms. Sheppard too!

I'm not interested in all the rigged eliminations so certain people get to the finale (three women are in the finale, 0 men) or stay longer. I've only watched three episodes this season and all of them were boring. The ratings have gone down dramatically since the premiere.

No dudes said he was cute. It was alluded that they said he was cute. It was the woman and the models (in that aftershow) that are fawning over him. *rolls eyes* @John ahhh. Queerty's entry makes it seem like there were many eps to show their budding romance. I really can't remember that season. I need to stop watching these reality shows and get a life.

There wasn't enough time for it to develop on camera. Also, why the hell is this an issue almost 2 years after the fact?

Seriously, they did have interviews about how she's smitten with him and blah, blah. You didn't see that about any gay dudes. Oh yeah, some of the gay dudes said they dug logan too. But not a romance. And why all the love for Logan. He really isn't anything special.

They only want to show bitchyness and mental instability. Oh, and if you are super duper cute, you slide by when you probably should be eliminated. Love and affection...nobody wants to see that! The show is prime time cattyness. Thankfully I have TiVO so I can see what the challenge is then fast forward to the Runway show skipping all of the drama, self aggrandizement and mental breakdowns.
