"I am sooo apoligizing!" Yeah, it really sounded like it. Nothing like being sincere.

CBS adjusts 'Cut'

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - CBS' ratings-challenged fashion reality series "The Cut" is moving from Thursday to Wednesday, beginning July 6.

The Tommy Hilfiger-hosted show will air at 8 p.m. Wednesdays. On July 7, "Big Brother 6" will premiere in "The Cut's" old Thursday 8 p.m. slot. "The Cut," which was assigned the plum "Survivor" time period for its first four airings, had a disappointing debut last week, drawing 6.6 million viewers.

that's too bad. people are missing out on a good show. the only thing i would change is to flash the names of the contestants more often when they are speaking. i have trouble keeping track of who's who and with them shuffling teams every week it is even harder.

oh and i am so not about designing or fashion. so if i am liking it, it must have some good basic reality show basics.

My power flipped off and I missed the very end, it cut off right when they said he would announce the following day and came back on for next week previews. Please tell me which did Fabulous pick (i'm guessing not the fur mobile) and who walked the runway?

not the fur... and the girl that went with princess to meet fabulous walked the runway. both failed the task but princess showed more leadership and creativity. the guy who went to the awards also failed the task but his transgression was a smaller screw up than a whole car.

Princess was FAR more effective than the other girl. SHE found out what his favorite color was. Bwahahaha!

I can't stand any of these people, ech! Is that how you have to act to be a designer? My God!

I like this show a lot, but I am really having trouble with understanding how these challenges relate to fashion design. I know Hilfiger does other things, but shouldn't a beginner in his corporation at least be knowledgable about design, colour, fashion, sewing or whatever?

And here is another thing I find mind-boggling. You have ten or twelve people who want to be fashion designers, and only one of them (John maybe, big young guy with ton of curly hair) knows how to sew? What is with that?

There are some interesting elements to this show. Changing the teams each week is a good move but they need to wear a distinguising garment so we can keep track of who is on which team.

The editing was choppy and I found it difficult to keep track of what was going on. We got little feel for how they did the cars. We saw them shopping for fur but where did the other things come from? They only had 36 hours so trips to car part stores could not have been possible. Did they have most of the supplies in their garage? Or do we even care? I can't answer that.

The missing link, and most important, is what is the job description of the prize? We have gathered it is not fashion design. He speaks of leadership skills but why? Will the winner lead a project or department?

In the first show Tommy said he's looking for a lifestyle designer. He wants someone who can easily translate design concepts to anything. Now what does this mean in relation to an actual job? I think this is a huge flaw with this show. The viewers need to have someone to root for to stay connected and how can we favor someone competing for a mystery job? They are all qualifed in different arenas.

I will continue to watch because I am a sucker for a splashy network reality show in prime time.

Tommy has said a few times that a designer needs to be strong in three areas: design, business, and social (how designer relates to his clients). At the start of the last show, he gave an example of stage costume he designed for Mick Jagger years ago. Tommy didn't follow Mick's requests too closely (did his own thing) and results were not good. So...listen to your client. I believe that was supposed to be the biggest lesson in the second assignment.

Thanks Gidget. She was a slacker and glad she went.

To me these shows get more interesting when there are less people. I find it hard to follow when too many people. D@mn I a getting old

Hopefully redesigning the clubs will be more interesting and show us more of their skills.

Fabulous brought nothing to the table. He was barely articulate and had no social grace. He looked bored and disinterested. A scheme his PR people hatched to get him some exposure, I guess. The car will go back to the dealership to be sold, Tommy will have some money in the budget from product placement and Fabulous will curse his publicist for getting him into such nonsense. He appeared uncomfortable to be on a reality show. If not, he is just not interesting or all that bright. Only a few even knew who he was.

I'v noticed that lately too Gidget. Contestants on reality shows are playing up to the cameras more then they are trying to win whatever show there on. It kinda takes the fun out of it if no one is really trying win, they're just trying to get more airtime.

I think his name was Jeff. The one that said he had researched so much.

It was Chris. He had longish hair and he was cute. There's another Chris too, I think...but the longer-haired version was cut. "You're out of style." LOL.

Tish is correct. I apologize.

"CHRIS S. TAKES THE RUNWAY

After the two teams attempted to restore historic Studio 54 and The Cotton Club to their former glory, Chris S., the 25-year-old student/restaurant owner from Nashville, TN, and Julie, the 37-year-old handbag designer from St. Louis, MO, were on thin ice. Although Julie has a long way to go when it comes to learning how to interact with different types of people, Tommy Hilfiger ultimately axed Chris S. for coming up with the overall concept of the failed recreation of Studio 54."

This show has none of the pizzazz of Bravo's Project Runway. And Tommy Hilfiger has no personality.
