Last week, in addition to being a milestone in my fashion career when Tim Gunn complimented my outfit, "Project Runway" fans collectively jumped for joy in their stilettos - and with good reason. For months now, a war of Prada and Armani power suits has ensued over the rights to the new season of the show, which has already been taped. Fortunately, a white Hermes flag waved, and Lifetime will be airing the new season this summer. For those of you snickering about Lifetime, know that first and foremost, the show will be exactly the same as it was on Bravo, and secondly, those movies are strangely therapeutic. If you aren't already addicted to this competitive reality show, here are five reasons why you should procrastinate with seasons 1-5 of "Project Runway" and get excited for season 6.

1. It's something you can really judge. Maybe this won't appeal to the small percentage of us who are not judgmental, but for everyone else, this is a show where you can actually pretend you're a judge because the criteria is only visual. Not to badmouth "Top Chef," but that show makes me feel as though I have zero agency. True, I'm not really judging "Project Runway" (don't remind me), but when an outfit comes down the runway, I know whether it's good or bad. On "Top Chef," I can only guess. Maybe that crazy egg dish really did succeed and blow everyone's mind. But you can't smell it or taste it and though presentation is important, it's not exactly my top criteria for food. With "Project Runway," you and your friends can pretend to sub in for Nina Garcia or Michael Kors with lines like, "Wow, that is too short/too long/too heinous for words."

2. The catchphrases are nothing short of incredible. Never underestimate the power of a good catchphrase. Like good puns, they're an inside joke and a gift that keeps on giving. Most of the show's great lines come from co-host Gunn ("Make it work!" and "That is a lot of look"). But other notable contestants such as season 4 winner Christian Siriano have made their own (such as "Fierce"). If Beyonce's adopting it as her new persona, you know it's noteworthy.

3. More drama than rush, semi-formals and formal season combined. Designers tend to have rather dramatic personalities, and when they're given tasks such as "Create a party dress out of flowers in one day" or "Design an outfit from anything you can find in a supermarket," tensions run high. This is most likely a horrible situation for the designers, who will later talk to their respective shrinks about flashbacks from being locked in the New School's design studio, but for viewers it makes for some interesting television. Last season, we were treated to the personality of Kenley, a designer whose combination of erratic ideas and defensiveness led her to do the unthinkable: get Gunn to not like you. Gunn is nice to everyone, but Kenley just couldn't dial back the drama long enough to take his advice. Once you exhaust Kenley's eye rolling moments, just keep taking a trip back in time because the earlier seasons have drama to spare.

4. The judges are brutal. "American Idol" has its nice, set pattern of polarized judges with Simon as the mean one whose insults are shockingly creative and Paula as the nice one who isn't necessarily all there at any given moment. "Project Runway" has no Paula. Though Heidi Klum and the guest judge dujour often try to be more diplomatic, Nina Garcia and Michael Kors will call you out for everything from sloppy sewing to bad taste. It's a little like watching weekly installments of the "Devil Wears Prada." Though I have survived being judged for wearing cable knit, I don't know how I would fare in front of that panel. They will make you cry only to tell you not to ruin the silk dress that they despise.

5. It's the Bloomingdales of reality television. The new shows that are devised for reality T.V. are absolutely mind boggling. Shows that have spawned bizarre spinoffs such as "Charm School" for the losers of scandalous dating shows remind me of what happens to the gremlins when you spill water on them and feed them after midnight. But amidst all of these Sketchers cork wedges of questionable shows, "Project Runway" stands out as a Manolo Blahnik mary jane. It's classy, the judging is based on more than a game of mud football in bikinis and the people who win it are actually very talented. By now you may not even be reading if my impressive rhetoric has been that convincing, but if you are still reading, stop, find a computer and bring yourself up to speed.
