'Project Runway' Cuts Five Designers in the Season 9 Premiere (VIDEO)
'Project Runway' (Thu., 9PM ET on Lifetime) wasted no time in its ninth season premiere. With 20 contestants vying for the win this season, they were tasked with bringing their best work for the judges to determine if they were even allowed to continue on in the competition.!!SPOILER ALERT!!
Four contestants were brutally sent packing right away, but Anya, who only learned to sew four months ago, was not one of them. She was still around in the Top 16 when they got a 5AM wake-up call for their first challenge.
They were told to bring the pajamas they were wearing and a bedsheet, and from these materials make their first outfit. It needed to impress the regular roster of judges and guest Christina Ricci.
Surprisingly, considering she started by trying to figure out her sewing machine, Anya's style impressed the judges. But it was 57-year old recovering alcoholic Bert who took home top honors and won immunity for next week.
And while he outlasted four competitors by a day or so, Rafael became the first designer to leave after the competition had formally begun.
