The biggest Project Runway competition of the night?

Whether Lifetime's inaugural cast could match the sheer fun of the All-Star Challenge, which pitted eight Bravo-era returnees, including Daniel Vosovic, Korto Momolu and a double-barrel blast of bad boys Santino Rice and Jeffrey Sebelia against each other.

Thank goodness, Tim Gunn was there, too.

Competing for the chance to design for Nicole Kidman, a $100K prize and the opportunity to destroy a restaurant dining room, the pros showed at the very least they all still know how to make watchable TV.

And the new L.A. crew, which includes a budding neurosurgeon-turned-designer, an emotional former crystal meth addict and self-proclaimed "plus-sexy" designer being judged by Lindsay Lohan? Not too shabby, either. Do you agree?
