TV Tonight: Make Me a Supermodel
I'm not sure if I would have started watching Bravo's Make Me a Supermodel had the writers' strike not been in full swing when it started, but the show has become one of my favorite guilty pleasures. In some ways, the show proves how silly America's Next Top Model can be; Supermodel is way harsher than anything Tyra can bring.
I blame the ridiculous challenges for sucking me in so fast.
Are You Watching Make Me a Supermodel?
While America's Next Top Model takes a break, Bravo is trying its own hand at a modeling competition. Hosted by Niki Taylor and Tyson Beckford, Make Me a Supermodel — which had its official premiere episode last night — is Bravo's first stab at doing a show where audience votes determine the winner. Of course, for that to work, the show needs an audience, so tell me: Are you watching?

TV Tonight: Project Runway
It seems like as soon as Bravo gave us Project Runway back, it was snatched away again. It's been three weeks since our last new episode — and so what if two of those weeks were Christmas and New Year's Day? I was just starting to get sucked into this season!
Bravo Signs Up Shear Genius, Top Design, Hey B*tches!
From Top Chef to The Real Housewives of Orange County to Project Runway, reality programming has been Bravo's strong suit of late. The network just announced a winter lineup chock full of what it does best, and it's also bringing back two of its attempts to clone Runway — Top Design and Shear Genius — for another round. Some of the highlights:
- Top Design, the seriously lackluster interior design show that I watched faithfully every week despite its mediocrity, is getting another chance — but not without a makeover of its own.
