What did you think of The Fashion Show's premiere? I watched the reality show last Thursday and it was just okay. I thought they would add a twist to the show, some spice that we haven't seen yet, but the truth is that they haven't strayed too much from the Project Runway formula.
These reality shows rely on interesting characters, a.k.a. drama queens, to draw viewers in and The Fashion Show is no exception. The one character that stands out for me is the looney, but super talented guy, with the feather in his head. Where is Merlin going with his feathers, kilt, and poncho? He's so "Betty el feo", Ugly Betty, but he makes for good tv.
In any event, the only major draw to this Project-Runway-knock-off is Isaac Mizrahi. It's too much of a replica in my opinion. The only difference I see between the shows is that The Fashion Show's viewers will pick the winner. Not very original ...but maybe that's intentional after all. I will continue to watch for now because I'm a Mizrahi fan and...until the original runway is lit on Lifetime.
