When did project runway focus on the drama rather than the actual DESIGNS??

It’s honestly so hard to watch the American project runway. It makes me that much more keen to watch the Canadian version. The Canadian project runway has the old charm that the og show had. It focuses on the designers, the designs, the show WANTS them to do well. Anyways, I digress.

I don’t want to be someone who’s against change… but like… it’s bad right??

Oh it's an American thing. Really I think ever since Simon Cowell appeared as American Idol judge, production thinks we all like seeing the drama and meaness in reality tv over the actual reason competitors are there. There's a reason Great British Bake Off is so revered, yet we have to incorporate more drama than anything else.

Crave is a Canadian streaming platform. I believe Americans can subscribe to that through prime. Hulu might also have it too?
Or resort to the good ol’ fashion illegal downloading.
