As you no doubt have been prattling on endlessly about for the past three days, this week Bravo finally uncrossed its goat feet (Bravo likes to hold programs and people in the iron grip of its legs. Also, Bravo is Pan, the Goat-footed Greek god of mischief) and released Project Runway to Lifetime. In case you were wondering why the network was finally willing to let their pretty little fashion pony show scamper off to another network, it's because Bravo already has a Chinatown knock-off of Project Runway, complete with hastily glued on label and crooked seams, ready to go. Bravo's faux-Project Runway is called The Fashion Show.
Fifteen professional designers will compete in this fashion creative competition series for a chance to have their designs sold in the retail market and win a $125,000 prize.
Sound familiar? That's because it's essentially Project Runway without the Macy's accessory wall. But, as we all know, when two fashion design reality competitions enter the ring, only one will be left standing. So how do the two shows stack up? Let's examine:
1. Title Of Show.
Project Runway:
Sounds like either a modeling competition or something to do with airports.
The Fashion Show:
Sounds like a parody of That 70s Show or a brainstorming meeting that imploded.
Advantage: Project Runway.
