New Designs for this Blog
Hi there, Designer groupies. Sabrina Rojas Weiss is taking over the
Lost blog, and I'm going to head up this one. As she confessed in the last Top Design blog entry, I too have an apartment decorated courtesy of IKEA — and myriad mismatched items nabbed from Manhattan sidewalks. But I'm a big fan of Bravo's Project Runway, so I'm hoping for some similarly creative and fun competition and looking forward to this Wednesday!

The first episode of "Top Design" felt a little shakey, but after this second episode, I'm on-board. This feels more in the tradition of "Project Runway" in its first seasons, rather than the last season of "Project Runway" and the recent (terrible, awful, no-good, very bad) second season of "Top Chef." In other words, "Top Design" is spending a lot of time on the clever work of the contestants, and not spending most of its time showing us hyped up "controversies" and contestants wanting to scratch each other's eyes out (cough, cough, "Top Chef," cough, cough).
It also feels much less producer-influenced than either the recent "Runway" or "Chef"-- witness tonight, when the contestant with both the most confrontational personality and the most interesting, heart-wrenching backstory (John tells everyone he has HIV) is actually eliminated. Fairly. John's room this time was obviously not complete. Now, on the last seasons of "Top Chef" and "Project Runway," I'm betting the judges would have found some pretense to keep John as a contestant, not because of his actual performance, but only because the producers want him on the show for the drama. So a big shout-out to "Top Design" for actually letting their judges do what they should do: fairly judge the competition. I'm starting to like this show.
