Project Runway is all set to resume this summer! I am thrilled, especially since I thought for sure that court battles would keep the show away for at least a year.
I am not, however, excited about its new destination. There is really nothing cool about Lifetime. I mean, seriously, "Project Runway on Lifetime." That just seems wrong. I am having a hard time picturing fashion on Bravo without Tim Gunn.
Not as wrong as Bravo blatantly
replacing Project Runway with a replica. Bravo isn't even trying to pretend that "The Fashion Show" is anything but. I don't really understand when shows deliberately copy other shows. Do we really need a Super Nanny and a Nanny 911? Or America's Next Top Model and Make me a Super Model? The list goes on and on.
Isaac Mizrahi will be co-hosting the show with Kelly Rowland. (yes, I said Kelly Rowland. As in Destiny's Child. I know weird, right?) They will also sharing judging responsibilities with the Senior VP of IMG Fashion.
The verdict is still out though. Isaac Mizrahi always makes for good/obnoxious fashion TV, so we will have to see. Also the move to Lifetime might be enough to kill Runway. What do you think? Will The Fashion Show = Project Runway?
