Is that a little bit like Chris Harrison saying every season ofThe Bacheloris the most dramatic yet?
I want this so freaking bad, I can taste it, he says.
I kind of love this guy.

Sam Donovan,Under the Gunn
Sam was runnerup on his pseudo-season ofProject Runway.
Valerie Mayen,season 8
Poor Valerie never won a challenge, so this season is all about redemption.
Ken Laurence,season 12
Ken is best friends with Alex… JUST KIDDING.
Ken acknowledges his drama with Alexander back in season 12, but he promises hes calmer now.
(Previews for this season say otherwise.)
Dom Streater,season 12
The winner of her season, Dom has been building her business.
She also name-drops Samuel L. Jacksons wife.
I think the only reason past winners come back is for more money and re-exposure?
Which is not a criticism its hard out there for a…designer.
At least Layana admits shes here for the money!
Stella Zotis,season 5
Stella says the judges got it wrong, but shes not mad about it.
Im not here to stab anybody in the back.
Id rather shoot somebody.
Theyll have $200 and one day aaaaaand go!
They sketch at Mood and decide on their designs.
After shopping for fabrics, they head back to their workroom, where they start sizing up the competition.
You know, normal workroom stuff!
Welcome brands weve barely heard of!
Model fittings go off relatively well, but theres a pretty clear underdog in the room: Daniel.
Apparently the tiny part of his finger thats missing is causing him to work veryyyy slowly.
Remember those Bravo days?)
NEXT: Pray for Daniel
Finished seams or not, they all have to get to the runway.
There, they are joined by Alyssa who introduces her co-judges, Georgina Chapman and Isaac Mizrahi.
She also welcomes guest judge Dmitry Sholokhov, season 10 andAll Starsseason 4 winner.
Georgina says she accomplished that with her look, but she isnt wild about the print.
Isaac thinks the juxtaposition between the flowy pants and the printed top is fun.
And Alyssa sees a juxtaposition, as well: She thinks it looks comfy yet beautiful.
Since he came from a family of strong, single women,Kenwanted to create the ultimate power suit.
She points out that its not the most original design, but the exceptional tailoring wins her over anyway.
And Isaac says, based on this runway, Kens the one to beat.
(Bold prediction!)
Georgina likes the detailing and wishes she had made that more prominent.
And Dmitry says pleather makes things look cheap and hes not wrong.
Danieltells a sweet story about how he fell in love with his wife in a class.
Alyssa tells him to give them a chance to state their opinions before he dumps on it.
But, yes, she says they hate it.
Isaac gives the perfect and, really,onlycritique we need to know: It looks like nothing.
While telling her inspiration story,Valeriegets choked up because the moment she chose means so much to her.
He doesnt pull any punches!
Winner:Valerie, who gets her first-everProject Runwaywin
Out:No one!
See what I said?
What did you guys think of theAll Starspremiere?
(Ill be honest I kind of am.)
