Very Disappointed - Rating: 4/5

I watch this in the UK and eagerly awaited the delivery of Season 5 but it's not up to the standard of the other seasons and I felt short changed - particularly missed the reunion!

Very Skinny Extra - Rating: 3/5

I am a great fan of PR so I would buy this anyway. But in terms of getting your money's worth - this DVD is so sadly lacking the extra trimmings that the other 4 seasons had - no behind the scene, no reunion show!! Why?? The only bonus in the BONUS is a follow-up on winner Leanne during her Elle mag photo-shoot. The box said the DVD included extended episodes - but I didn't notice them, so it's hard to see where the cost of the DVD is justifiable.

I love Tim Gunn but do not agree with Tim Gunn being the judge for the final runway show, it diminishes his impartiality and integrity as a non-bias mentor. Surely they could pull in another celebrity guest judge! Even Fern Mallies had to be better than Tim Gunn.

OK, so we're a little bias - Rating: 5/5

Our daughter Jennifer made it onto Project Runway Season 5 as a designer. So of course, we think this DVD is top notch! Season 5 designers received very little fanfare - no promos, no opening credits, no reunion show, etc. There was a lot of speculation on why, but we're hoping that the extra footage promised on this DVD shows more of her and the other designers. While she was raised in East Syracuse, NY, she's been living in Italy for the last several years. As PR5 makes its way around Europe this year, Jennifer's being recognized more and more. We even heard she got recognized by an American tourist the other day! We look forward to having a copy of this DVD. It's like watching home movies when we see her on air. If you appreciate her designs, see some of her Suite line on etsy.
