Fashion Show vs Project Runway

[April20]

I''m watching Fashion Show on Bravo. Anybody else watching? I am fascinated that Bravo essentially knocked off their own show!

Here''s the differences I see thus far:

1. No Heidi Klum- replaced by chick that I don''t recognize.
2. No Tim Gunn- replaced by Isaac Mizrahi- jury still out on him in my book.
3. There''s an audience when they do the runway shows
4. Show winner is voted on by viewers- not sure if finale is at Bryant Park or not
5. Prize money is $125,000 vs $100,000 on PR

And that''s about it.... Still sponsered by Tresemme..... not sure about Bluefly yet.

I am really curious about the dude that looks like a red Peter Pan. Where do they find these people??? I get that there are some eccentrics in fashion, but this dude looks like he created a character for himself.

Verdict: Like it so far. But that could be because I''ve been in PR withdrawl. Time will tell!

I''m not feeling it...it''s just not the same without Tim Gunn!

I feel like there''s an extra level of cattyness that wasn''t in PR. I think having the two hosts see the stuff and then comment between themselves on camera and the addition of audience comments....

I wanted to kick the Red Peter Pan dude last night. He''s irritating, but he''s also the kind they like to keep around for the long haul.

Couldn''t do it without Tim Gunn--I love him! I think I''ll just hold out until August 20th and catch the REAL show on Lifetime! No offense to those who like FS--I don''t adapt well to change, haha!

I''m excited to check it out, but tend to agree with thing - Tim Gunn was such a huge part of that show for me. But I did LOVE watching what the designers came up with for all the challenges - some of them were so amazingly talented

I did like (a few of) the designs! But I agree that the two hosts were pretty nasty to the contestants! And they weren''t as helpful as Tim Gunn AT ALL. Tim Gunn offers constructive criticism and these two hosts were just kind of bitchy!
