'Project Runway'
(9PM, Bravo) 5th season finale
It's time to say "auf wiedersehen": to Bravo, as the show moves from Bravo to Lifetime (once some legal wrangling is resolved); and to two of the finalists who'll be showing their collections at New York Fashion Week.

Last week's ouster of Jerell means it's an all-female finale, as Korto, Leanne and Kenley battle to win $100,000 to start a fashion line.

Leanne and Kenley, with their dramatic wedding dress designs, would seem to have an edge, especially since guest judge Tim Gunn already remarked that one of Korto's designs was, um, a bit too reminiscent of a Georgia O'Keefe painting.

Okay, 63 million viewers shouldn't be considered 'measly'. It is nearly 25% of the American population after all. Considering a normal show in primetime only garners a few million viewers each week (excluding shows like American Idol) that number is pretty good. And, while it doesn't compare to the whopping 70 million viewers that tuned into last week's Vice Presidential debate, the number is higher than the first debate between Senators Obama and McCain which garnered only 54 million viewers.

Why the uptick? Well, I'm no political or media analyst but there are probably a few factors. One is that we are one week closer to the election and Americans who are on the fence are now starting to take the race more seriously. Another is the rise in interest after the Vice Presidential debate (which, to me, seemed so rushed it gave me a headache). A third could be the format that the debate took place under -- a town hall style where both moderator and audience were able to ask questions. Unfortunately, moderator Tom Brokaw asked more of the questions than the audience, which made the 'Town Hall' format somewhat pointless.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta'
(9PM, Bravo) series premiere
Bravo's headed down south to Hotlanta for the latest behind-the-scenes look at how the rich and desperate-to-be-famous live.

Among the Atlanta 'Housewives': Lisa, who operates real estate, fashion and modeling businesses, is mother to three kids and wife of an NFL linebacker; DeShawn, who's heavily involved in local charities, is mom to three boys and married to NBA-er Eric Snow; and Sheree, a single mom who's launching her own clothing line.

Though the women have lots in common, that, of course, doesn't mean there won't be plenty of headbutting drama, as in tonight's birthday party for Sheree, where the celebration takes a turn for the catty.
