Top Design!
Jan. 31st, 2007 11:04 pmSo I am watching the premier of Top Design. Interestingly, the name of the show is Top Design, not Top Designer. This may imply that the design (the contestant's product) is front and centre, not the contestant themselves.
Todd Oldham is a douche. His sing-songy style of speech manages to be condescending and grating. He'd be better off as a greeter singing "Welcome to our World of Toys" (The FAO Schwarz theme song). He's no Tim Gunn. Maybe he'll get better. I doubt it.
The guy from Chicago (John). Total self-hating homosexual. He's "the drama". Expect him to outlast his actual design capabilities because he makes for good TV.
I'm intrigued by Goil (pron. like gargoyle). He's got an under and post grad in architecture.
Michael (fauxhawk boy) is too timid to last more than a few episodes. Someone should tell him to design a spine.
I find it interesting that most people are from NY, CHI, or CA, also that many of them have architecture degrees, practices or both, and as far as I can tell, few actually have *design* (interior or otherwise) degrees.
$50k for the first trial? Wow!
Update [23:35]: Notice Todd is wearing an earpiece. The question is: is he deaf, or is he receiving lines? If he's receiving lines, that's rather pathetic, as it's a taped show. That would however, explain his sing-songyness.
Discuss!!!
