I just got done watching a bit of Project Runway. The challenge this episode was for the designers to design an outfit for Tiki Barber. Now while the challenge was ridiculous, most of contestants performed okay, but overall they looks were dismal with only three workable pieces. Asking someone do design menswear when all they've ever done is womens wear is totally unfair by itself. Make the addition of a totally unrealistic timelin BAM, POW KABOOM... you have great TV, but it was hard to watch. As an artist the worst part for me was when the vacuous douchebag judges (who really need to be replaced) acted like this should be no problem for the designers. They sat there and laughed about how bad some of the stuff was. Pretty much doing what an artist fears most during a critique. Like that talentless queen Michael Kors could do any better, or that tool Nina Garcia, she's a fashion editor, basically making here a glorified customer. Oh yeah, Heidi Klum knock the smartass cunt act off, it's not doing you any favors.
Essentially you have several competent designers failing on a project that is a kin to asking an football player to play soccer when they've never tried it. Then kicking them off the football team because they don't play soccer well.
I guess what I'm saying is that on such nightmare challenge ,that bends the rules of the show(it is womenswear) they should have bent the rules for judging. I don't know, maybe having all the contestants vote on there favorites, something that would make it a bit more compassionate and empathic. Like the interviews from all the contestant judging wouldn't make better TV than a bunch of out of touch aging bourgeoisie making lame quips.
Also I am just really tired of these reality contest show judges acting like they are curing cancer and how they have the keys castle when in reality all the shows is rigged by the producers based on psychological profiling and ratings analysis. Its like pro wrestling for TMZ set.
