Calling all fans of Project Runway – Project Runway Junior Season 2 is here! Before you change the channel after remembering the disgrace the show was in the previous season, keep in mind that this season is completely new. New contestants, new format, new judges and new designs are all available to peruse at your leisure.

There’re no traces left from the trainwreck that was Season 1. For those of you who hadn’t witnessed the horror of the beginning of Junior, let me explain. The expectations for the show had been high, obviously. Instead of having the 14-week long competition where contestants are eliminated every week, the producers decided it would be best if Project Runway Junior took place in one day. Each episode had three different contestants from the week before where they’d compete in three theme challenges until one was the decided winner. In theory, it was a good idea, but with cliché challenges and the contestants actually working with their parents, it took a turn for the worse. Don’t even mention the judges who barely deserve to breathe the same air as Tim Gunn. All in all, everything about the series demanded it be discontinued, besides the fact it held the Project Runway name.

Praise be the fashion gods who caused the directors to see the errors of their ways and reform PRJ. This new season is set up the same way as Project Runway, where the same contestants follow the steps every other designer would. New judges, a Tim Gunn save and the same number of contestants make up the many reformations that contribute to how phenomenal this season has been. No longer is it an hour-long show ending with the viewing of dumpy, rushed dresses, but now with the talented creations of 14-16-year-olds.

Three episodes have aired collecting a group of devoted viewers, who I am certainly among. The similarities to the original are uncanny and finally help showcase the true potential of young designers. If you’re a fan of Project Runway or even if you’re not, there’s no question that you should jump on the Junior bandwagon.
