Has anyone posted about this show yet? It seems to be similar to "What Not to Wear" in its makeover theme. I think Tim Gunn is great on "Project Runway" so I hope this show does well!

From the preview tonight, it did have a lot in common with What not to wear, including the surprise when shopping. I don't know, I am not sure yet, maybe after the official seasonb opener it will be easier to judge..

Was I the only one that watched it last? It came on right after Top Chef.

It's pretty much a clone of What Not To Wear. And I really didn't care for the white Calvin Klein dress she was wearing at the end. It just reminded me of somebody wearing a raincoat w/out anything on underneath.

I watched but it is a lot like What Not To Wear ... which I love but was hoping Tim's would be different.

And yes, that dress did look like a raincoat. But her hair looked fabulous! :o)

I agree about the hair. I'm not to sure w/ the eye makeup. But it was still an improvement.

I coundn't believe they went throw her underwear drawer. lol!


Texannie, i don't know why they showed it. I thought it was a commercial for the show at first. I am sure it will be on again tonight.

I thought it was a nicer version of What Not to Wear - I think the chick on that show is mean!

They are showing it again tonight, but most exciting: They are also revealing the new cast for Project Runway 4!!!!
Yippee! Can't wait for that show to come back! I honestly could care less about fashion, but for some reason I LOVE that show!

I definitely prefer my Project Runway Tim, not liking this show at all and I don't know that I'd adore Tim if I'd been introduced to him with this show, because I was really finding him just a little too...oh, I don't know, lets just say I have decided a little bit of him goes a long way, and a lot of him induces much eye-rolling (at least on my part).

Also, Veronica Webb comes off with very little in the way of personality.

And the personal life coach or whatever he's called? Give me a break.

I loved this show! Yes, it was similar to WNTW in that there were two stylist and a makeover person, but I thought it was really different in so many ways. I thought it was alot more 'educational' too.

I enjoyed this. And I learned a lot - which I so need and find hugely helpful. I thought Tim and Veronica were softer than WNTW.

Ok, when you all say What Not to Wear, do you mean the Brit show or the American version? I thought it was a bit similar to the Brit show which was fine with me. I like it when they keep it similar to the original's format (unlike Trading Spaces and Iron Chef America).

I love Tim Gunn and his show is very well done. I would give anything for Tim Gunn to give me a makeover!

I kept comparing it to WNTW (US version) also, and I found it dry and clinical in the comparison. It needs some type of conflict to add interest - and there is none between the people. Also, it seems like we've heard so much advice about clothes from WNTW, that this was just a re-hash of the same.
I, too, love Tim on Proj Runway, but I think that will be the only place I watch him from here on.

I enjoy Tim, however, his sidekick was a big disappointment. Are they sure she isn't a mannequin? I recall my grandma's bowl of plastic fruit having more life than that woman (don't even recall her name)did.

The sidekick is Veronica Webb, Sugar. And I so agree with your assessment! Thanks for the laugh this morning!

I learned a lot in just one episode.
Since I am trying to lose weight a Jeanne did I could relate to her needs, concerns. Some of the tips they gave her on selection of clothes would work for me, especialy since I could envision myself in some of the clothing that she ended up with.

I just adore Tim and I wish he could help with my wardrobe. However, there is no way in hell I'd let anyone go through my undie drawer and laugh at my granny panties. And if they tried to throw them out they'd lose a hand.

Loved last night's show. I went to the website to see if they had pics I could use of last night's hair makeover since I have an appointment this evening for a cut. not only do they have a pic put they have instructions on how to get the hair makeup list.

I felt vindicated about my stance on capri's seeing that. I think they make most women look wide. I think it's due to the cutting off their legs.

and she had a hella like o capris.
