Season 5 of Project Runway starts at 9 sharp on Wednesday. Needless to say, we’re just a tiny bit excited.
Because, really, what are they going to come up with this season? Not much will beat raiding the Hershey’s store and making dresses out of Twizzlers, wilting corn husks and beach chairs. Today Bravo announced the cast for PR5 and we’ve made a few predictions:
Jerry, a 32 year old from Montana, will be this season’s Daniel Franco – constantly be promoting his vision for his brand FORM.
Joe, a Parsons grad from way back, will try and pull the “I’ve been in the industry for 18 years” card as an excuse for being bossy.
Blayne, “Seattle’s Most Stylish Male”, will try and be Christian Siriano…and fail horribly.
Our guesses for the top three:
Emily, she worked for Jeremy Scott and we love him. Plus, she looks like she won’t take crap from the other contestants.
Wesley, because he’s young, cute and worked for Marc, which means he has real talent.
Leanne, she looks quiet and reserved but we’re guessing that means serious sewing skills and little drama.
Trust us on this one.

so cute, wesley’s profile says people at his middle school commissioned him to make clothes for them, that’s adorable haha.
Love that Nina Garcia is still “Editor at Large” at Elle. Yeeaahh…
Is it just me or are they almost all dressed like shit?
Wesley better win because he’s the only one who looks semi-decent.
wesley is such a cutie!
one of the contestants is named suede.
if I was going to be a designer with a fake name, I’d go for gabardine or chiffon, but that’s me.
at least he’s not called pleather!
My money is on Emily too, but I think Kenley is adorable and is close to my style so I’ll be secretly rooting for her.
@Halie – too funny! I’d go for tulle, but chiffon is a close 2nd.
does anyone know if theyre going to show the episodes online anywhere? i don’t have cable :(
Wow I interned with Emily one summer in college. She was intimidatingly fabulous and awesome, but also a really sweet girl.
If her facility for dressing mannequins and scupting paper hair for museum exhibits is any indication, she’ll rock the competition.
hey guest at 9:53 AM you are in luck! Go to sidereel.com and click “project runway” its the show – for free!!!! I love it, you can watch other shows too, like gossip girl. I’ll stop before this begins to sound even more like an ad. but really check it out
at the end of the first show i was really rooting for jerry cause he looked so sad and pathetic. i really wanted blaine gone in the first episode just to smack that smirk off his face (and all the tan).
i completly agree that blayne is going to try to be the next christian thats immediatly what i thought
1/3!
