Oy. We should have known better than to give you guys a teaser because y'all went and ran with it. In order, we are not:
- Getting a show on Bravo
- Appearing as guest judges next season
- Going to be the godparents to the impending Bennett-Shelton baby
- Working for Laura
- Working for Elle
- The father (s? how does THAT work?) of Nina's baby
Having established what we are NOT doing, let's get into what we actually ARE doing.
For one, this blog ain't going nowhere. Since BPR does an incredible job of providing information and updates - especially during the off-season, we won't be going in that direction any more than we already do. BPR does it and they do it better than we ever could. What we do well is provide you all with daily snarkiness and the occasional thought-provoker and we will be continuing in that vein.
"But Tom and Lorenzo," you ask, "Even though you are both incredibly fabulous and witty, how are you going to do that without new episodes?"
There there, little soldier of fabulosity. No need to fear. It was you, our readers, who came up with the solution. See that little Amazon ad on the right? Well bitches, if you don't have your Season 1 DVDs, now would be the time to order them, because starting November 1st (or thereabouts), we will be giving Jay, Austin, Kara Saun, and yes, God help us, Wendy Pepper, the patented PRGay treatment.
We actually had to be convinced on this one, but so many people in comments or email kept asking us to do it, we figured what the hell. God knows we could have a field day on Wendy alone. If all goes well, we'll pick right up on Season 2 and by the time we're finished with that, we'll be only a couple weeks away from a brand new season.
But wait! That's not all! Order now and you'll receive A BRAND NEW BLOG!
Yes, it's true. The PRGayBoys are expanding their media empire and we'll be unveiling a second blog: Project:GAY. Project RunGay is all about Project Runway from a gay, bitchy perspective. Project:GAY will have the same gay snarkiness, but with a much wider range. Not only will we be turning our gay eyes outward to pop culture in general, but we will be providing daily blogging on Bravo's new Project-Runway-for- Interior-Design spinoff, Top Design, which bows in January. We're really excited about this because we're actually more knowledgeable and opinionated about interior design than we are about fashion.
So that's it. Sorry that the wealth and superstardom haven't materialized yet but trust us kittens, we're working on it. Thank you all once again for your support and kind words. You make us better.

I won't believe your denials about Nina's baby until I see the paternity test results.
YAY! PROJECT GAY! It even rhymes so it's all gotta be good. Looking forward to you ripping on the Darth Vader of fashion, Wendy Pepp-- can't even type her wretched name, the life just oozes out of me just thinking about her!
Can't wait!
PS: Any dish on the newest show, Top Design? C'mon!
Love you Gays!
this all sounds sooooooooo exciting!
Still think you should be guest judges on PR, though (and have your own show)
Yay! Yay! Yay!
*faints from happiness*
I'm in. Season One, Project Gay, the works. Way to go, darlings! You are fabulous! Off to order Season One right now!
--Granite Janet
Since you've denied everything else, guess Laura's baby IS going to be named Torenzo? Seriously, totally thrilled for y'all. And, no worries, your trip to stardom is just moments away.
Oh my God, I got light headed, I had to sit down...er...collpase on my 18th century fainting couch...
where am I...who...what...voices...
I hear voices...
Wow, soon you'll have more blogs than Law & Order has units!
Congrats!
Can't wait to hear your theories as to who really drew the moustache on Wendy's little f**k-trophy. I still swear she did it herself.
Too bad you guys don't blog EastEnders.
--Gotham Tomato
Hooray. In other news: baked triscuits are my weakness. My kingdom for a baked triscuit.
I am a little scared about the Interior Design show. It may be a little too close to home for me - pardon the pun.
"Little soldier of fabulosity" -That brought a tear to my eye. You have comforted us so. You two are terrific.
Yay- just YAY. I would probably feign interest in a show that you were recapping though, just because you both are that fabulous.
Oh goody goody goody goody goody goody gumdrops! All bitchery, all the time!
I am so happy and excited I could vomit!
Can't wait to hear more from you boyz.
Elizabeth
Torenzo Hey, not bad!
Oh, and another Bravo competition reality show!!! I'll never be free!
I've watched the reruns of Season 1 I feel like I have the season memorized, but I might invest in the DVDs just to greater appreciate your genius.
Like a roomfull of kids simultaneously screaming: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
I have a list a mile long of shit I CANNOT wait for you to comment on during the first 2 seasons!
Thanks T & L!!!
Congrats, guys! This is great!
Hooray....I knew I had you at the top of my bookmarks for good reason. Love and all the kisses...
i thought i found you boyfriends to late! how exciting that you will "carry on". you 2 just KILL me. one can never have enough boyfriends.
xo
sissy
Hi!
I'm writing from a tiny village in Sweden to say that I absolutely love your blog, and the idea of you guys picking apart the lovely first season of Project Runway at the seams sounds simply heavenly.
Hi!
I'm writing from a tiny village in Sweden to say that I absolutely love your blog, and the idea of you guys picking apart the lovely first season og PR at the seams sounds simply heavenly.
WONDERFUL!
Are you going to become some sort of gay Oprahs? Media magnates? Yagnur productions?
If so, I'd like a job. Not only am I a 'mo, I have a resume ready. And fear not, my supply of Dockers and sweaters will keep you the center of attention.
Hooray! One can never have too much gay bitchiness, really, and without you guys the gay bitchiness quotient in my live is nearly zero. Hooray!
Oh joy!! I've adored you two darling bitches since I found you back in July.. All snark, all the time, yipee! My morning coffee wouldn't be the same without you- Only now we get to widen the snark radar, even better..
Gosh, Bravo sure is into tops.
you guys have made my day!!!
I'd hug you if I could get my mits on you two. Congratulations and keep the snark coming!
*sniff*.. Now I can die happy..*sniff*
Ohh I am so happy that your fabolous selves will be around and are starting another blog!!! Congrats guys on your success.
Desarae
YAY! You made my day.
Err .. scratch that 'day' and replace it with life.
That's more like it.
I'm cheap, I admit it, and even though I'm dying to see Season 1, I'm not sure I want to give Amazon/NBC $34.88 of my hard-earned dough. Even the 'used and new' DVDs start at $26.
Now what the hell does this tell you about our plasticized society-- I have to shell out that kind of cash for a reality show, but I can get a classic like 'To Kill A Mockingbird' for $10.99??
Rungay Jones, I gotta Rungay Jones....Rungay Jones oh baby ooooooooooo.....(I fear you two babies may be to young for this reference, but I couldn't resist).
Thank God you ain't going nowhere. I have a family to take care of and don't have time for withdrawal!!!
Make it work boys. Make it work. You are mere inches away from it ALL. We're rooting for ya!!
I am BREATHLESS with anticipation for the debut of Project:Gay's analysis of TOP DESIGN! I was halfway into the 1st paragraph of your post thinking "I must e-mail them to ask if they'd be interested in recapping Top Designer!", when alas, you beat me to it! YAY!!
A good friend and former business associate is one of the contestants on that currently-filming series and I have no doubt he will prove to be reality show GOLD! At the same time, I admit to being a bit afraid of the potential content of his interviews, hence the anonymity of this post.
I CANNOT wait and hope you can share what you've managed to dig up on that show already.
Love ya!
OOOOH! You've made my day, hearing that you'll be doing recaps of S1--you are going to announce in advance the episodes so those of us can follow along!
I've been a die-hard PR fan since the first episode, and can't wait to see what you guys say of Jay, Austin, ambiguously gay-but-not-really Daniel Franco, VANESSA!! and the rest of the gang.
Morganza, just remember, you had it coming, dear! (for those of you who don't know who I'm talking about--she was a model--yes, a model. They had personalities in S1!).
I have to say that I completely disagree that BPR does it better, or as good, or CLOSE to the level of PRG.
If it did, why would we all be here?
Anne
yayayayay!!!! I just finished re-watching S1, but I'd do it again any time, especially to support you boys' awesome snarkiness!!!! I can't wait to see what you do with La Pepper.
This should put to rest those "this season had so much more drama" people. Wait til you see what they did to Kevin! And Austin. Oh, and the Nora meltdown, and the Kara Saun/Wendy grudge match! Woo hoo!
Oh, and the clothes were fab.
Do you guys get a cut of the S1 dvd take? You really deserve some....
With Season 3 wrapped up and the last few days of blogging it ahead of us, I thought I was going to finally get some work done! Looks like that plan died a quick death! Well I can't wait for Season One to start! I didn't see the first couple episodes and by the time I did tune in I thought I'd landed on Mars!
I was hooked on HGTV Design Star and thought there was a lot of madness you guys could have commented on. And major eye candy in David, the winner! But I'm real excited about Bravo's Interior Design series and will follow religiously!
And especially excited about Project Gay! This could get ugly!
Brian
Ooh, fun! I haven't seen season one in a while so I'll have to look at those episodes.
Today is my birthday, and this is one of the best presents ever!
My gay friends and I constantly bitch about the need for a gay perspective in current affairs. Case in point: a gay newscast would have put paid to this Mark Foley nonsense with a quickness. I'm SO glad you're sticking around--we need you!
YEAH!!!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
An until the superstardom multimillion dollar deal comes your way, please tell us if you need us to click ad-links or anything to help support your site.
I certainly hope that people talking about Wendy's daughter as a fuck-trophy (and with asterisks? are we in fourth grade?) isn't going to be the level of the room on the new blog.
That's somebody's child you're talking about. Rip Wendy all you want, she signed up for it.
Anne
BRILLIANT !!
Could you please post when you plan to start the Season 1 snarkfest? I would like to know how much time I have to find it.
Oh thank goodness...I thought I was going to have to put the martini glasses away until after the relatives leave Thanksgiving night.
And the interior design show will brighten all those dark winter days...now maybe you can get some guest commentary from Laura and her husband, they are world respected interior architects...? ;-D
We'll be starting the new recaps the week of November 1st. In fact, since 11/1 is a Wednesday, that's perfect. Keeps us on the same schedule we're already on. So figure on new recapping starting 11/2.
And uh...far be it for us to beg, but yes, we do get a cut of the Amazon sales and we do get a cut if you click on the other ads. Nothing to make us rich, but hey, a girl needs to buy a new mud mask every now and then.
Soldier of fabulosity. Kitten. I adore terms of endearment and I feel so marvelously endeared by you divine ones, I'm about to pop.
I am delighted, nay thrilled about the coming projects and I'm dashing off to order my Season I DVD (I missed it in entirety and thus can't imagine why anyone would adore Jay, but then I felt the same about my new boyfriend Malan and the fabulous Laura).
And interior design? Perfect!! it's just . . . just . . . well, as a Big Ass Belle, however, I must inquire, no Chef? (sniff, sigh, deep, shaky breath ~ no gay-boys-diss-top-chef. shaky exhale, okay, okay, okay).
I knew you loved us to much not to find a way to stay! Glad you are doing the RunGay treatment to Top Designer as opposed to the food porn option. May have to spring for the DVD's now.
Wow, and my horoscope said today was going to be a 5 - ha! This is such exciting news!
THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!!
I'm in -- I'll buy the Season I DVD from your website and be ready on Nov. 1.
Is the January design show the one with Vern from Trading Spaces? Love Vern.
Yay!!!!!!! I am doing cartwheels I'm so happy!!!!! Wheee!!!! I just got Season 1, and this PERFECTLY FABULOUS!
Wendy - boohwaahwaaahaaaa!!!!
Esther
"BPR does it and they do it better than we ever could."
I couldn't disagree more. I don't go there because it's more stupid drama without the personality. (It's a stale bagel over there). I just like the light-hearted gayness over here. ;-)
Sniffle...
You had me at Snarki.
Even if you are the Malawi Babies of the media.
You...complete me.
"Perfect model too."
Well, as Tim would say, "Chacun a son gout." Because I just find those fake breasts very disturbing. (Or if they're not fake, there's some mighty unnatural "lift and separate"-ing going on.)
"We actually had to be convinced on this one, but so many people in comments or email kept asking us to do it, we figured what the hell. God knows we could have a field day on Wendy alone."
AWWW-YEAH! [pats self on back for e-mailing the PRGayBoys weeks ago with this suggestion, and pats others who did likewise]
"If all goes well, we'll pick right up on Season 2 and by the time we're finished with that, we'll be only a couple weeks away from a brand new season."
Oh, it'll go well. Trust me on that one.
Yaaay!
Snarkfest! Bitch-erama! I never saw season one so this is gonna be fab fun.
Hee hee, I feel giddy.
Love you, darlings.
Oh SWEET!!!!!!
BravoTV: are you reading this? Pls consider putting on a few Season-1 marathons!
To lauraandmichael,
Vern was head judge on HGTV Design Star. I love Vern too, I never felt like he was trying to punish the homeowners on Trading Spaces with wacked designs, or hogging the camera.
HGTV Design Star didn't have the fabulousness that PR has but they had a couple real wack jobs who were trying to win and my friends and I loved to rag on the shows. And it really came down to two final great contestants.
I haven't heard if there'll be a new series but I'm assuming they will.
Brian
what a lot of work!
i'll be reading ever word.
I'm totally buying Season 1. I haven't seen it yet, and now I have a fabulous excuse! Yay!
As thrilled as I am to hear your news, I cannot but worry of the impact to our economy and nation. Since this blog has become the maintstay of so many workplaces, I wonder what will happen to our collective productivity when you start another one.
Here's a thought: Since you're both language specialists, translate your entries into Iranian and the dialects of North Korea. If we're going down, we might as well take them with us.
On the other hand, productivity be damned! Bring me the head of Wendy Pepper!
I think any little soldier of fabulousity should be nicknamed 'Torenzo.'
Torenzo, noun, term of endearment. "Tut, tut my petite Torenzo. Of course those sheets are 600 count."
don't limit yourselves to just pop culture in general. think global; social issues; corrupt politicians; human fraility; human foibles; not just in the context of "pop culture" though. You have talent and can go much farther.
I agree with the comment about buying dvds of pr. Why not suggest to Bravo that they reair the old episodes, as they do with so many other shows. That would save us some money, which is probably the reason they won't like the idea.
I LOVE it!!!! Can I take part in Project Gay, even if I'm just a fabulous, straight redhead???
"I LOVE it!!!! Can I take part in Project Gay, even if I'm just a fabulous, straight redhead???"
Sweetie, in this instance "gay" is a state of mind. It means you get to be bitchy. It doesn't mean you have to leave your husband to join a commune in Michigan.
yay! This news made a crappy day (I had 2 horrible tests plus classes on top of that) a billion times better! I'm so freakin' excited!! I was worried I'd actually have to start studying for classes if you 2 didn't have anymore entries, but problem solved!! :)
Oh my GAWD! Thank you so much for doing season 1 !!! it was more than I could have hoped!
*squee!*
Best....website....EVER!
Ya'll are making feel . . . hot. I don't know what a Wendy Pepper is but I'm excited about seeing her through the bitchy eyes of our fab boys.
PS to the PR Boys -- I contributed to your mud mask fund by ordering my Season 1 set through your site. Next time you post pics of yourselves, I want to see some *glowing* skin. :-)
--Janet Granite
I am so excited for the season 1 commentary!!!!
I am thrilled to hear this news! I am so sad the the season is over but I know that I won't have to wait until season four to hear from you two! You guys really deserve all the best because you both are wonderful! I can't wait to hear the comments on season one! Yay! :)
First things first
WHOOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! The fabulosity continues. This little soldier will follow you guys anywhere!
Now, un petit question. Why is Kevin Johnn's name on the PR1&2 ads on amazon.com?
See, this is what you get when there are enlightened people at the helm. Everyone happy!
-PR
-Amazon
-US!
Yes yes yes! I am so happy you are doing this! Yes I am the same Angela that called y'all climbers but it was said with LOVE.
Rich was my first. You understand.
xoxo! I love everybody!
this does not make me happy.
"this does not make me happy."
Your refund check's in the mail.
happy sigh.
glad to not be in limbo
until season four.
No, no, no. That's not what I meant. Project:GAY sounds really exciting, and I loved S1 & S2 almost as much as S3. I just wish you were the fathers of neenagarcia's baby.
Did the antler dance.
Did the gator dance.
Doing the happy Snoopy dance with my impeccably dressed chihuahua named Little Ricky cause we are gonna watch and read together all winter long. Must invent a Chi Chi chihuahua dance now!
Happy happy joy joy!
Wait a minute ... you guys are GAY?
Congratulations on your expanding empire of snarkiness. Snarkhounds of all persuasions can't wait!
Hurrah! I was SO hoping you'd do the previous seasons! I can't wait!!
All snark, all the time - FANTASTIC!! I can't wait for BOTH of the new ventures. I was keeping the faith - I knew you wouldn't let us down and disappear until next year. You are just too fabulous for that. XXXOOO I heart you two!
omgosh this new information is like my dream come true!!! i can't wait to hear the fabulous bitchery! hugs n kisses.
oh wait, when is this fabulous bitchery starting? and are you going to watch an episode from the DVD each wedesday or something? i need details. is there a start date? i need to know!!
oh. november 1st. im dumb. SORRY
the only problem with this is - You'll comment on and recap seasons 1 and 2, and then season 4 will start - and WHAT WILL WE DO AFTER THAT???
I didn't start watching until this (third) season so this will be great for me! I was going to get the first and second seasons to watch anyway. YEAH!
We'll start on Thursday, 11/2 as if we had all watched the episode the night before. We'll remind everyone each Wednesday to watch the next episode in preparation for the oncoming bitchery.
Do you guys HAVE day jobs??? Just curious. I hope the dough starts rolling in so you can just keep blogging!!!
I have to go re-watch season 1 now! CANNOT WAIT for those recaps.
And now, please tell me you'll do season 2. Cuz I am already planning to plotz when you recap Santino doing his Tim Gunn impression.
fabulous news about the blog empire. You go, Tom and Lorenzo!
You guys need to snag projectrungay.com from the domain kiters who are hogging that URL and make this into a real paying venture. You could TOTALLY do it Boys. I know indie businesses who would pay for an add on this page. SERIOUSLY. You fabulous bitches should be swimming in the green because this is the best blog I've EVER, EVER read.
Oh Goody! Pepper, Morganza, shoegate. It should be great.
And just in time, Bravo's website lists a season 1 marathon on Friday November 2. Are you guys secretly in cahoots with Bravo? Only bad news is it starts with episode 3 instead of 1, but then goes all the way to the finale (minus the reunion).
Oops, I meant Friday, November 3.
Wow! I am absolutely thrilled. I just purchased Season 1. I guess I'll wait to watch in time with your blogs!!!
Oh man, so excited. Just wondering -- are you also going to be keeping sort-of in touch with current ex-PR designers' goings on, or are you going to let BPR do all of that? Because you do it much better. Jus' sayin'.
Fantastic! I'm in! (ok I have to hear Heidi's voice telling me "you're IN" ) :D
Very cool..can't wait!!!! I'm also interested in the Design Show..love it!!!!
Congrats!!!
Brian - Thanks for the Vern news. Sorry we didn't get HGTV in time this Fall.

Well, as long as it's only TWO other countries, we'll be fine.
;-)
This will be the methadone for my PR withdrawal.
I keep saying it, but so happy this blog has taken off.
Yay! I recently moved out of state hours and hours away from my circle of gay friends (it's so much fun being a hag XD) so I going to enjoy this so much. It'll be like old times!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. My sons think I’m nuts but Project Runway had me hooked from the first episode. My father was a clothing designer in the 30's and 40's when that meant he was a Tailor. I exist solely due to the opening of a sportswear factory in Canada that required him to do some training in the United States. How can I resist this stuff?
Parabens!!! Means congratulations in portuguese( I am brazilian) and hope that you do get your show. You guys are the best ...
Oh joy! Oh rapture! This is just exactly what I'd been hoping you'd do. I can't wait to see what happens when Tom and Lorenzo go on a double date with Andrae and Tim at Red Lobster. And Santino has escaped serious gay bitchery for far too long. His time has come.
You guys have got the scoop on everything. I loves me some more Bravo-brand design shows.
Little bit on Top Designer, it is based out of Los Angeles, will try to get some scoop from my friend that has been helping with it.
HOORAY!!!!!!
I wish you all the very best on every project you're involved with. I sincerely LOVE you guys. In all the wrong ways.
You two are gay?!?!!??! Get outta here!!!!
Ok, that said, if you're going to be bitchy......I'm expecting a full session of bitchery on the annorexic girls that insist on wearing those gigantic 70's sunglasses that make them look like a Preying Mantis...shudder.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!
WWWWWWOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!
I can't wait for the second blog to start, and the idea of you guys discussing seasons 1 and 2 of PR is fantastic! What fun! Thanks!
Mamalov (but you can call me Mama)
As long as you don't hold back on the snark. Now that you've partied with these people, will you be too nice to them? We want every bit of your delicious bitchery!
I've been away for a while, so when I read this post, well, be still my beating heart! This news is so glorious, I'm off to order my DVD
Can't wait to read your snarky comments on Ms. Pepper and Kara Saun (talk about passive/aggressive!), and your evals of Jay's and Austen's designs.
Glad to see you'll be doing the "Top Designer" program, and you may as well be warned: Bravo has yet ANOTHER such show on the block called "Top Stylist." Yep, they're going to do one for hair stylists.
You guys aren't going to run out of material for the next couple of years...
girlinas - i got season 1 at the top of my netflix queue. cant wait!!
Yay! I'm excited for you guys. It's so awesome that your blog has taken on a life of its own, and that you've found a way to keep up with the blog. You've got something unique to say, so you just get down with your bad selves :-)
