anyone watching??? this is the replacement for Project Runway. I really like it! I like how they do the fashion show with a line and the judges. And the new goodbye phrases! LOL I'm just not buying it. You are hanging by a thread.

I watched most of it but switched channels @ the end to see something else but flipped back just in time to hear "I'm just not buying it" I will continue to watch!

I like the fact that there will be audience participation. I saw one stand-out garment tonight on the runway, and indeed he was the one declared the winner.

It seems to follow the "standard" formula: bitchy girl, flamboyant queen, meek girl, meek boy... That said, though, I did kind of enjoy it. You could really tell who's got chops with the little black dress challenge (some of them were awful!). Merlin is going to be the "love him or hate him". I have to say, I hated his runway outfit (looked like a circus outfit). I also like that they are doing a "real" runway and taking audience (expert) opinion into consideration (or appear to be doing so).

I watched. The only thing that kept my attention was Mr Crazy Guy with the Red Suit and Feather in his Hat. I hope the show gets better.

lol ... my son and I decided last night that he, man in red suit, obviously did not get enough attention as a child from his mother and that is why he obviously needs so much attention now. Just our un-professional opinions!

I liked it pretty well. The idea of buyers choosing the winning design is a good thing. Merlin, red coated guy was a bit much but none the less entertaining, well for a few episodes. The design that won was the ONLY one that didn't belong in the trash heap. I'll watch again.

I also liked that they focused on 'wearability'.

I'd watch it Nick. It's definitely mildly entertaining. Merlin (the guy in the red suit) will wear thin after a while. And supposedly these are all sorta established designers, so there should be some better designs showing up on the runway.

I found it to be a painfully boring wannabe. I hope it gets better.

Well yeah, but I always thought the first few eps of Project Runway were a bit boring, too. Takes a while to become invested in a designer...

Man, those were some UGLY clothes! Geez, I hope the clothes get better. Poor Kelly Rowland was like, "I personally wouldn't wear anything on that runway." All the judges looked kinda like "What the heck have we gotten into?" I'll watch again just to see if next week's clothes are this unattractive. I hope Merlin goes soon because I wanted to slap him. I thought his demeanor in front of the judges was just waaaay inappropriate.

Does anybody remember the movie with Catherine Zeta Jones and George Clooney, Intolerable Cruelty, where he plays a divorce lawyer and is representing her husband and there is somebody on the witness stand that he is questioning - his name is Heinz, the Baron Krauss von Esphe and he is like a concierge in a hotel and he introduced them to each other. He is exactly like Merlin. It is like the same exact character

Merlin is quite annoying and over the top. Wasn't he a judge on PR? I like that there is a real designer as judge but IM can be so snarky. I would like to see less scripted conversations and more of the workroom. I like the runway and no tedious picking of the models. On the fence about Kelly. James-Paul is already being called Asian Christian Siriano. It will do until PR starts.

Merlin was a judge on Project Runway? I don't think so. I love that there is not 'a competition for the models'. Never understood what competition they were in except for maybe a game of red rover!

The models got a layout in a mag if they were attached to the winning designer. And I don't know if it'll be on Bravo or Lifetime, but there is a companion show supposed to be airing on the models (attached to either this show or Project Runway). I haven't checked to see if it's on Lifetime but I suspect it is since I've not seen it advertised on Bravo (and since I never watch Lifetime, it wouldn't be hard to miss there, would it?).

Texannie, I knew that sounded wrong but I couldn't remember what show he was on. Merlin was on The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency.

I hated the genie pants. They did look like something worn by MC Hammer. The black dress with the half boots was the best in my opinion. I like Project Runway better.
