Project Run(a)way

I almost forgot to watch the local version of Project Runway last night. If it wasn't for Happy's text 30 minutes after 10pm, I would have gone straight to la la land and missed the show altogether. It was an entertaining pilot episode, but I wondered about a few things: 1) Why did the 51 year-old old lady bother joining when she knew it wasn't going to be just a walk in Rizal Park? The dress she made looked like something a girl from the province would wear if she came to Manila and wanted to "impress" the city's denizens. 2) Why did they cast designers who have been featured already in magazines? 3) Why did they cast Teresa Herrera to be the host? Couldn't they just have made Apples Aberin the host and got somebody else to be the Nina Garcia? 4) Why Jojie Lloren as the (ter)mentor? How does he feel that he doesn't get to judge while Rajo does? Why not cast Michael Salientes instead? 5) Why isn't the place of the designers as nice as the one in the US Project Runway? 6) Why didn't they cushion the runway? Every footstep could be heard. 7) Isn't there a better way of saying goodbye the way Heidi does? Teresa just said, "ingat!" And it even didn't sound heartfelt. 8) Why did Frederick Peralta wear his sunnies the entire time? 9) The challenge was to use every single piece of fabric and to not leave any leftovers (at least that's what Teresa said). One guy hoarded everything but only made a tiny dress. Where did he stuff the rest of his fabric? 10) Will they have a terno challenge and invite Imelda to judge?
