Alla:

Yeah, Bravo reality competitions (NOT all of them mind you, just 
some) are the only ones I would watch. I mean, I wish they would stop 
with Project runway and Top chef, because I thought the designer ones 
and hairdresser ones was not nearly as interesting.

But I surely love Top chef.

And I LOVE What not to wear. I think hosts are hilarious and have 
great chemistry. But boy oh boy I thought some participants are 
behaving like complete idiots. I mean, I am sure they are told for 
example to make a show of fighting for their clothes for viewers' 
amusement sake, but when some of them starting saying that no, they 
know better, I just want to slap them LOL.

I mean, if you are on that show, you obviously do NOT know better, so 
if you decided to participate, how about you shut up and follow the 
advices of those who DO know better. Again, I understand the part of 
it is for fun and 99% of them follow the advise and do the 
transformation, etc. But some.... I remember one woman on the show, 
who had that LOOOONG hair and hairdresser was trying to convince her 
that she really does not look good with the hair of that length. and 
nope, he usually is succesful, but that time he was not, she 
persisted that hair is what made her unique or something. I was just 
thinking, oh dear, take advantage of that great hairdresser showing 
you how to wear your hair with style, you absolute dolt.

Eh, sorry. I love that show.
