It has lost novelty and I miss the days of Austin Scarlett and Jay McCarroll poking fun at Wendy Pepper. Even so, I feel as though I have a sense of responsibility to watch the show.

Now in its 7th season, the show still outdoes those poor excuses for fashion reality shows on Bravo (i.e. Launch My Line) – and it has improved a tad bit since it moved back to New York (that L.A. season brought a whole new meaning to lame).

Nonetheless, this season is just “eh” – BUT – I am always waiting to hear what the sassy Southerner, Anthony has to say. He seems genuine, has a “snap-snap” attitude and he has the most personality from the whole bunch.

Although his fashion skills leave much to be desired, he makes the show entertaining.

I would love to see him in a reality show with Atlanta housewife, NeNe.

The new cast of Project Runway season 7 comes back to New York

What to watch on TV:

Sunday, Jan. 10: Brand new episodes: Big Love on HBO and Chuck on NBC.

Monday, Jan. 11: A new episode of How I Met Your Mother (CBS) featuring title character hopeful played by Rachel Bilson and guest star Tim Gunn as – wait for it – Barney’s tailor!

Tuesday, Jan. 12: Grab hold of your loins and get to be assaulted with a one-two punch (another episode airs on the 13th) by a new season of American Idol (FOX) with new judge Ellen DeGeneres.

Wednesday, Jan. 13: A new, delicious episode of Modern Family on ABC.

Thursday, Jan. 14: Consider it Super Thursday with the onslaught of shows that will make your DVR blow up: a new 30 Rock (NBC) with James Franco; an unaired episode of Fringe (Fox) and a new Grey’s Anatomy (ABC) – AND Lifetime airs a new season of Project Runway in hopes to redeem themselves from the most horrid and painful season ever. Being back in New York and familiar faces (hi Nina and Michael!) might help. One more thing, the premiere of Carnie Wilson: Unstapled airs on GSN. The title of the show itself is up for vomit-inducing ridicule.

Sunday, Jan. 17: Mark your calendars for A new season of 24 on Fox as well as the 2010 Golden Globe Awards hosted by funny bloke, Ricky Gervais.
