I think I'm going to find the 90-minute format a drag, especially as the number of designers goes down. Also, the judges seem bitchier, and while I like a good bitchy critique as well as the next queen, a little goes a long way, and I'm finding it a little unpleasant.

I haven't watched every season, so I guess I can't really compare, but it feels like the challenges are more and more boring -- make a dress for the Marie Claire reader? Really?
