A Finer Year: Favorite reality shows gone bad
Dec 16th, 2009 by dino-ray
At one time or another, I made sure that my schedule was cleared for shows like Project Runway and America’s Best Dance Crew (the later season where We Are Heroes won, not the one with Quest Crew). Watching these shows in 2009 was painful and annoying. They were the epitome of un-entertainment.
Yawn.
Project Runway made me realize that you can sleep with your eyes open and this most recent season of ABDC was uninspiring and gimmicky (can we say “Vogue Evolution”?)
Over all, it’s Bravo TV that wins the prize for the most unentertaining television of the year (with the exception of Top Chef and maybe Real Housewives of Atlanta – I love me some Nene). The main source of their curdled spoilage of reality TV was their overly-desperate attempt to replace Project Runway. Fashion Show was a colossal failure; and just when you thought they couldn’t get any worse, they made the ultimate slap in the face to real designers called Launch My Line.
Vomit.
At one time, Bravo was my touchstone for good and fresh TV. Now it is turning into trashy drivel. They really need to regroup and think of a tasteful lineup of shows that gives them some cred.

I totally agree. Launch My Line makes me cringe. Is that D-squared hosting? Not my favorite TV hosts at all. And that one clown who literally looks like his whole head was painted on gets on my nerves. Ugh.
OMG. Everyone gets on my nerves on that show. And the D-squared brothers are like Xamot and Tomax from G.I. Joe except in skinny suits and irritating.
