Starts tonight on CW. Anyone going to watch it? I have it set for my DVR but don't know if I will have the attention span for another reality show about fashion. I love ANTM and PR, but think that this one will lack, ummmm experience and desire from the contestants. I got a Real World/Mean Girl vibe when watching the commercials. Too bad if that's the case. I Elle Magazine.

I'll watch. I think SOapnet did a short series on 6 people interning in the fashion industry. It was not an "elimination" type show but much more real life for people starting out in the industry. I enjoyed it. This already looks a bit over the top. When you have a pint sized youngster telling people "do not disappoint me" in the previews and this is okay, it gets my ire up much more than my interest. That being said, I love this stuff.

I haven't seen commercials but one of the contestants is local.. she actually went to the same high school I went to and also graduated from Berkeley as I did. Her name is Cologne Schmidt, her dad is a dentist and they also have a fledgling winery in Paso Robles. She seems to have some chops.. degree from Berkeley in interdisciplinary studies. She combined business, pshchology and communications and wrote her thesis on how fashion reflects identity. She's interned for Riviera Magazine and for San Francisco fashion PR firm Cross Marketing and has started her own clothing and jewelry line. She plans to get her MBA in marketing. She's 22. and of course I may hate her instantly, but I think I'll watch. I wish the show was on a different network, one that repeated shows instead of slapping down a show like this in prime time, one showing. (at least as far as I can see so far)

The CW repeats most of their shows on Sunday(gossip girl, one tree hill). Take a look there. Any early reviews out there ?

I just got home and my DVR has a red light going. I don't know if it's that or Project Runway or both. (I suck at knowing the times of shows since DVR was invented) Gonna settle in and watch it before I go to sleep tonight.

I had to quit watching because I was hating on the rich girl and her gay guy friend and the blonde lady, editor?, of Elle.

I watched. Megan the rich girl and her partner <100> DyShaun are the annoying ones. And they will probably stick around for ratings. The funniest part was that Anne Slowey couldn't walk in her heels. Did you see her clomping and trying to walk in from her car? I laughed and laughed over that.

Lake_gal, I completely agree. She was all hunched over, clomping around all tentatively. There was an article recently (I believe in the New Yorker) about Anne Slowey and the fight that ousted Nina Garcia from Elle -- which made it all the funnier.

I found the show mildly entertaining. Admittedly I find it amusing that some consider it a 'dream opportunity' to get picked on for what they wear, and to try to dictate others choices in print, while blissfully ignoring that others in this world are glad to have any clothing at all.

Finally saw it. It was pretty good. I will give it a couple more times. I love fashion, and hope they show more of it. I also love Elle and hope they give a more background glimpse of the going ons there. Always loved drama and cattiness on a reality show, but think that this might have started too fast and too hard. Seeing a big ugly blow out in the future. Would love to see Megan and Deshaunn turn on each other, lol.

Amazed that Dyshaun and Kate did not know what a dart was. I think Dyshaun should have been eliminated since he screwed up the copy.

I agree Rslover but I guess Jason (that was his name right?)was a good choice to leave, he couldn't handle the pressure. Besides they need Dyshaun for drama. It's almost as predictable as ANTM..lol but I do like this show and I loved the team that won's page the best.

I'll first say I like the show. These are the biggest group of unlikable reality show contestants ever...and I've watched a lot of reality. I keep wanting to like someone. So far none (to me at least) are likable not even the "management". I enjoy watching their tasks and getting a little look at behind the scenes of the magazine...faux as it may be.

OK - here is what is getting me - you mean Elle KEPT Anne Slowey and GOT RID OF Nina Garcia? Are they CRAZY? Anne kind of looks like she dressed and put on her makeup while - well, let's say "tipsy". I was shocked by her appearance. I see more 'put together' women at my place of employment, and I am an ENGINEER. So this is really pretty sad. And wow, those contestants! YAY for casting, they got this one right! Drama-o-rama for sure!

It reminds me so much of the movie The Devil Wears Prada, the lady host so much like the Streep character. At least she is correct in her assessments inspite of her haughtiness. They're making a point of keeping the overweight participant but so far I couldn't see why, she doesn't have anything special to offset her looks. (because, my ladies, "looks" seemed such a big factor in the first episode). I feel sorry for the people who are rejected because this makes it look like they will never make it in the field, whereas they could get jobs and learn a lot and improve with time. This seems too much like... "pal, forget it!!!", so I'm glad if they won't give up...

I liked it enough to watch again. I wonder if Anne's niece was told to be like that or if she is really so . . . I hope she was acting.
