Project Runway
I recently watched the DVDs of "Project Runway: Season 2".
I really enjoyed this show. It's a reality show where aspiring fashion designers have different designing challenges each week, eliminating from 16 down to 3 people. The final 3 get to do a full fashion line show at the biggest fashion week of the year, and then they declare a winner.
The thing about this show is that it's a true competition. They really have to DO something. It's their talent and skill they are competing with. And really, each person is competing with themself, not against each other. It's a show about creativity, too.
Yes, there is a little bickering, some short tempers and foul language, since they are working long hours, close together, in a stressful environment. But not as much as there seems to be on most other reality shows.
I'm not exactly recommending the show, but I am letting you know that I enjoyed it.
