Season 5 Episode 1 Sneak Peek

Well kittens, believe it or not, tonight's the night. Make sure to pick up a bottle of wine and some snacks on the way home. To whet your appetite, check out what Tim Gunn said to PEOPLE about each contestant:

Blayne:
“The designers love him. His work is like his personality — exuberant. Blayne is hard to miss.”

Daniel:
“He’s intense — not the workroom jokester … I called him ‘the sweater.’ As in perspiration.”

Korto:
“Still waters run deep: She seems so quiet and reserved, almost reclusive. She’s not. Korto is going to tantalize people with her work.”

Emily:
“Emily is effervescent, very likable and a positive presence in the workroom. She’s a sweetheart but she’s serious about what she does.”

Jennifer:
“She’s very thoughtful, smart and she is driven by literature and classic films rather than the pop culture scene.”

Jerell:
“He’s very generous of spirit. And by that I mean he was frequently one of the first to finish and he would help other designers. And he’s wonderfully funny.”

Jerry:
“Jerry possesses an enormous amount of self-confidence. You can take that any way you want!”

Joe:
“He’s our one straight guy! He’s a guy’s guy and therefore he has a place on the show that’s very unique. Joe is also a family man and talks about what his daughters would wear.

Keith:
“Keith is all about innovation and experimentation. But you would never pick him out of a group as being a fashion designer — you look at him and see high school football jock.”

(un-hunh. We think YOU see a football jock, Miss Gunn. Perhaps in just a jock? Can't say we blame you.)

Kelli:
“She’s our rock and roller and she embraces that role. Kelli is a little ball of fire.”

Kenley:
“Kenley is our season five Project Runway Bettie Page. And she’s true to that role, let me tell you!”

Leanne:
“She’s a conceptual designer. And when the audience gets to know her she’s a person I think they’re really going to be rooting for.”

Stella:
“Looks are deceiving with a lot of these designers. If I saw her in a dark alley I’d run — but she’s a sweetheart!”

Suede:
“Suede is a good problem-solver. And he’s current and contemporary in what he produces compared to, say, a Kenley who’s a little more retro.”

Terri:
“I found her to be another excellent problem-solver. She knew how to make it work!”

Wesley:
“His designs are at the higher end of sophistication…beautiful work but there’s not a lot of risk-taking.”

And if you missed last night's very revealing preview, why, here it is:

We almost got you with that one, didn't we?

The show is available only to American Express cardholders. What the hell's up with that?
