Two

As a break in between studying, I am watching old episodes of Project Runway. I don't generally like reality shows unless they are something that displays talent rather than celebrity. Shows like Project Runway and So You Think You Can Dance are the reality shows that I watch most regularly. I like the creativity and watching that creativity morph into something more.

For the first time, I am watching Season Two and although I am only three episodes in, I find Daniel Franco fascinating to watch. He was one of the cockiest people during the first season of Project Runway, but was also the first to be eliminated. This season, he seems a different, almost broken man. He's shy, unsure of himself and I have never seen him more humble. There's a realisation there now that while he is a great designer, that he might not be what Project Runway wants/needs which makes me wonder if he's going to have a nervous breakdown later on. Don't tell me! I'm avoiding looking at spoilers~!

It's fascinating, the way that different people react under pressure and I always find myself feeling slightly envious of the people who can handle incredibly stressful situations without showing any nerves at all. I am not one of those people. I get anxious, usually, although I do always get the job done.
