I wish they gave them more time. I know time is an important element, but I feel like fast wins over talented in almost every episode. Early seasons didn't have full chest, back, legs, arms, etc. and it seem like they were given more time. To me, the lack of time on every challenge starts to seem disrespectful of the craft, a la Ang Lee getting an Oscar for Life of Pi and complaining about how the effects cost too much and take too much time, while his effects partner on the award winning film files for bankruptcy. I want to watch people do a good job, not just run around like it's a terrible work environment with unreasonably demanding rush jobs all the time.

Totally agree Gnet. I was very surprised in that respect also, especially considering that Ang Lee had some very formidable competition.

And Saya, I've seen some really terrific designers actually walk off Project Runway because they couldn't handle the pressure.
