    hi, I got all the questions right. I love Project Runway. The fist contestant eliminated in Season three was Stacey, not Malan.
    Since, you love PR, please comment on my articles about Project Runway and Olympus Fashion Week.
    Thanks,
    Rachel Heller

    I only got 12. I started watching this show on rerun on Bravo and still have yet to see the entire first season or any of the first season actually. Malan was totally robbed. Great quiz!
