To me it seems like styled to rock designers are far less experienced or professionally trained the than the folks on runway. It's not a bad show...for what it is.

Do we have a Vanderpumps or whatever the name of that show is thread? I just think the guy should dump Stassi and move on.

Naked and Afraid is starting up again on the Discovery Channel - this time with two sets of couples. Tonight's episode synopsis from D . . .
"In this special two-hour episode, two pairs of strangers, unaware of the others existence, are dropped miles apart in the unforgiving Panamanian rainforest to survive for 21 days under the harshest of conditions. Watch as each couple battles the elements, each other, and their own inner weaknesses to see who will triumph over the terrain or who will fail under the force of nature."
I enjoyed the first season of this show not just because of how they dealt with the elements but also because of how they dealt with each other. Trust me - you get past the nakedness pretty quickly as it isn't all that important in the overall scheme of things. I think it's done initially more to strip them down emotionally as much as anything else.

Anyone watching "Breaking the Faith" it's the reality show where young people leave the FLDS. It's like "Breaking Amish" but not as scripted and over the top - so far.
I'm liking it.

I'm watching BtF and agree so far it seems less scripted. I won't be happy til they let their hair down and put on a pair of jeans and tank top.

Sorry kappy I sort of spoiled. I did not know they included her illness on the show. I'm curious what is the compensation for doing the show?no way would I go thru that hell and parade my dimply butt on camera for free.

I have watched Breaking the Faith.. it is okay.
Has anyone been watching Generation Cryo? I have to say that I have really enjoyed Bree, who is trying to find about her sperm donor dad, but has been meeting her half sisters and brothers around the country. I like that the show, while it deals with issues that upset some of them.. especially one of the dads who has some issues since he couldn't have kids and they used a donor, but everyone is so respectful and supportive and real, but not all drama (and the show is on MTV). I think only two episodes left, but I've liked it and would much rather follow Bree in another show than any teen mom ever.

Lakecat - no need to apologize! I don't think of that as a spoiler at all.
I have no idea what the compensation is but most of them so far seemed to be already involved in 'survival' through working as guides or instructors or they are ex-military and learned skills that way. In the first season, they all seemed up for challenging themselves and seeing what they were really made of.

Sea, I've been watching and have been loving it too! I love Bree's spunk and how warm and inviting all the half-sibs and their parents are. And what a strong resemblance they all have!

To paraphrase Ben Folds.... Nick: (after a group sang It's hot in here) Ben, was it hot enough for you to take your clothes off? Ben: Nick, everyone knows that I only disrobe when it is 98 degrees out.... or something similar to that. I thought Nick was going to bust out laughing. Ben Folds is a quick wit.

Has anybody caught that new show on TRUTV called "Panic Button"?
I think the only way to describe it is that it's like the show "Total Blackout" on steroids!
They will already be up to episode 5 this Thursday, but I see they have the first few eps rerunning and in on-demand.

Remember -- Starting Over?? I was going through old bookmarks -- Audrey Tucker who THOUGHT she was a country singer and knew it all. She has a Facebook page -- Audrey Tucker fan page. So she sings? I searched her in iTunes store. All that came up was a podcast from an interview on a radio program. Haven't listened to it all yet. Audrey is still "singing". I don't think she's really make it yet.

I remember her, Colordeagua. I just started listening to one of her songs but had to stop before I got a minute into it. I thought she sang better than that on the show, but that could just be my fading memory. lol! From the tiny bit I listened to, I don't envision her getting any airplay.

I have always had issues watching some shows on line with pop ups and ads and it doesn't seem to,matter what I do. I know, Goddess I believe, was talking about how great The Great British Bakeoff is. So for those that want to watch it, the whole fourth season is on YouTube.
And it was really good. Ready set, bake!

MTV is doing another dating-type show starting in a couple of weeks called "Are You The One?"- They took 20 singles- and subjected them to extensive questioning, personality tests, etc., and determined the 10 "perfect matches". Now all the singles have to do is figure out what they are- they'll go on activities, live in the same house (in Hawaii), and then at the end of each week pair off into couples- and if within 10 tries they get all 10 perfect matches, they'll split $1 million between them.
The catch being, how the couples fall for each other organically may not be what the "experts" say should happen- and if they can't figure out the "right" pairings, no one wins anything.

I did not find a thread for "Ink Master" so am posting here.
I am so excited! The girl who did my first tattoo is a contestant! Her name is Melissa Monroe. I am so hoping she does well.

I have been watching it too. Considering I am not a tattoo fan, it is kind of odd, but now my niece is getting sleeves, her artist seems a little subdued so far, clean lines clear pictures. Is it just me or do some of those tattoos seem too dark that you can hardly see the picture.

I watch all of them! Best Ink is on tonight. Not sure when Ink Master will be.
I agree, some of them seem dark and/or busy. The one she did for me is not huge and not busy. It was exactly what I wanted.  I cannot imagine getting a large one! I have 3 and think I am done. lol
It will be interesting to see what she does on the show. I wonder what they will show as her background too. If I recall, she came in to the place where I went as an apprentice and worked her way up. She does lots of piercings and has them too. She was super patient and gentle; hope that does not hurt her.

You're in luck, Cablejockey. According to this article posted on Jan 14, the premiere of season 4 of Inkmaster doesn't air until next month!
Spike TV to Premiere INK MASTER Season 4, 2/25
SPIKE TV's hit original, and the first tattoo reality-competition series, "Ink Master" returns for a fourth season starting Tuesday, February 25 at 10 pm ET/PT, and this time it's going to be a street fight. Tattoo artists from around the country will battle it out in permanent ink and sometimes with each other for a $100,000 grand prize, an editorial feature in Inked and, of course, the bragging rights title of 'Ink Master.'
