The Art of Reality TV

I will reluctantly admit that I enjoy certain types of reality television shows. Not the navel-gazing, voyeuristic Real Worlds and Big Brothers, but the ones where those looking for their big break compete pageant-style to be the best at whatever the show’s producers are asking them to do. No network does these types of reality game shows better than Bravo (the first 5 seasons of Project Runway, Top Chef) and Work of Art, – beginning its 2nd season tonight at 9/8C –  should be no exception.

The format is typical with the artists/contestants being challenged weekly with some task and then eliminated due to a failure to please the judges. The list of contestants this year contains some doozies (like, The Sucklord) and will include, no doubt, a fair share of poseurs. Who will be the first to crash and burn? Check out the show and then back here later this week for my recap!
