here's the article.
heard about it from a friend reading the new york post online, and i guess perezhilton wrote about it as well..

thoughts?
for myself, i think the show will certainly go downhill. lifetime? really?

I mean, I'll watch it wherever it's on... it's a great television show. But Project Runway and Lifetime are pretty much one in the same at this point.

That's huge for Lifetime. They must have paid fortune for it!

Yes! supposedly 150 million US. Lifetime is available to more cable subscribers than BRAVO so this can only be better for the show. The Weinstein boys know what they're doing. IMO the format of the show itself won't change...just the network.

i have satellite and i don't get bravo but i like the channel but it going to get more viewers on channels like Lifetime. i thought maybe TLC was going to get it.

i just feel that it doesn't fit what lifetime is about..

bravo has become a great network with many good shows and even their website has entire community with it's interminable amount of blogs.

also, lifetime is a network geared towards women.. so this show is only for women? putting it on a network targeting women seems inappropriate for a show that both straight and gay, men and women watch; although, i know some men do watch lifetime anyways, it just seems like a bad message.

regardless, i will still watch the show but i can't help but think about how it will be affected (disney owns lifetime by the way). lifetime may be a bigger network, but it seems like the wrong place.

I don't get BRAVO on my crappy cable plan and I know alot of others who don't as well, so I agree--this will make the show available to more people.. (most importantly, me )

That sucks....it'll go down the drain now.

[brokenenglish]

It was hard enough getting my bf to watch it with me on BRAVO....
Lifetime will be near impossilbe.

I just hope they don't change the show too much....
but it could use a refresh, the format gets a little stale after so many seasons.

[.:sprigged:.]

WTF.

Though this reflects how much the show has gone downhill... :/

[LUXXX]

um...ew...after this last season was so popular why do that?

[Ella Petrovsky]

Bravo is home to so many reality shows! Why would any show downgrade to Lifetime? (no offense)

[*Jibrielle*]

why!? I dont even know what channel lifetime is :S
