It's sew time! Project Runway's barely been gone long enough for me to miss it, and yet I'm finally feeling the excitement about the show's fifth season.

It helps now that we've been able to see the contestants and, in Fab's case, even pick a few favorites. And, of course, there's the little issue of it possibly being the show's final season on Bravo before the big move to Lifetime. I wouldn't miss that for the world (hey, it could be the end of Runway as we know it), and so even if Christian Siriano's catchphrases are still ringing in my head, I suppose I can get on with the business of a new season.

That business, not terribly surprisingly, appears to involve the contestants being caught off-guard by Tim Gunn, who awakens them early in the morning — or is it still technically night? — for their first challenge in the video below. (For a peek at the designers working away at Parsons after learning of the challenge, head over here.) Don't forget Runway's on at a new time tonight, at 9 p.m. EDT and PDT. You can check out the sneak peek, and tell me your hopes for the new season, if you read more.
