Lauren Zalaznick Great Quotations

We always knew we had something special with 'Project Runway' and it's great to see the viewers coming back each week and bringing friends with them. The best thing is that we really think the best episodes of this series are yet to come.

Bravo has had great success in introducing new characters with unique personalities and lifestyles to television audiences. Just as the seemingly uncomplicated life of a hairstylist revealed explosive drama in 'Blow Out', viewers will be treated with a new level of high intensity entertainment with professional trainers in an exclusive gym.

In the season's first eight episodes, 'Project Runway' has exceeded even our highest expectations for great buzz, and even greater ratings. Enough people have said, literally, 'I don't know what I'm going to do when Runway ends!', that we've made the decision to help them by extending the run!

Clearly, there's an appetite from Bravo television viewers for increased flow of content that a linear TV channel can't provide. This on-demand push makes great Bravo content that there isn't room for on TV available 24/7.

This is a great opportunity for Bravo to pay tribute to this world sporting event the way Bravo knows best -- through characters who share their point of view about Olympic culture, cuisine and fashion. Anyone, everywhere will be able to log-on and experience the Olympics with a Bravo twist.
