Am I the only one watching the filler show between Top Chef and Project Runway?
This show rather amuses me. The challenges are ludicrous. I don't know if any of you watched last season, but the ability to cut hair with garden shears really is not a skill *I* look for when choosing a stylist.

The host and judges:

Jaclyn Smith, the host and judge. Her bio tells us she is "an award winning actress, a designer and role model."

Kelly Atterton, judge, replaced Michael Carl as a judge. She is the West Coast editor of Allure magazine who recently broke the news "that a popular hair straightening treatment contained dangerously high levels of formaldehyde" and "has interviewed a number of celebrities".

Kim Vo, judge, replaced Sally Hershberger. From his bio, we get this interesting tidbit "Vo is also known as 'King of the TV Makeovers'." But seriously, he is recognized as a top colorist, and has been able to "develop and refine his own special approach to color, a technique that enables him to insure that hair and complexion are totally compatible and always with a natural look."

Rene Fris, mentor. "Hi, hi!" Fris' accolades have included: Head Stylist at Elizabeth Arden's Red Door Salon at Saks 5th Avenue, Celebrity Stylist for John Frieda Salons, Grooming Specialist on the TV series “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” in Europe, author of two best selling men's and women's grooming books, owner of an internationally acclaimed product line bearing his name, and a successful modeling career with the Wilhelmina Modeling Agency.
