‘Project Runway’ returns on Thursday, Jan. 14

A new season of “Project Runway” starts Thursday, Jan. 14 at 10 p.m. on Lifetime. You might not know it if you don’t watch Lifetime on a regular basis. I wouldn’t watch Lifetime at all if weren’t for “Runway.”

The only way I knew that it was returning was an ad on a website (the first time I have ever found an ad on a website useful). Will the poor promotion of the 7th season of “Runway” hurt the season’s ratings? I don’t see how it couldn’t.

Even if ratings aren’t high for this season, I can’t see this season being the show’s last. I predict season 8 will be the end for “Runway,” but maybe I am being pessimistic.

Watch a preview of season 7 of “Project Runway” on Lifetime.com.

Jesse LeNoir

We don’t have a Dayton area native on this season of “Runway” but we do have a design-testant to represent Ohio. Jesse LeNoir is from Painesville, Ohio (northeast of Cleveland). He is really cute, but also really straight (he makes his fiance dresses).

Watch a video interview with Jesse.

Will you be rooting for Jesse this season? Or will you be rooting for one of the other 15 designers? Or is it too soon to be rooting for anyone?
