This is funny. I would be interested to see just who ends up being these “final seven.” Hopefully just regular designers—that is, real people, not stereotypes—who decided it would be fun to go on TV.

And I’d hope the show would be more like the first couple of seasons of “Who Wants to Work for Donald Trump?” than “Supermodel” or “Big Brother” or “Let’s All Catfight Over Some Guy.” Who needs all the drama—I just like to see the competitions…

Ridiculous… Are you serious? They will have all the cliche stereotypes.
The artsy gay guy. Maybe 2 of those. The “struggling” mom designer.
The hot girl who draws good anime. The indie rock guy and girl. Oh, with emo hair. One black rasta dude, and one asian chick.

Gimme a break.

I will watch it. And most people who hates it now, will watch it too.

Thats a fact.

Would rather quit design than have this show happen. Honestly, I hoped that as a ‘breed’ designers had more smarts than to be into the 15 minutes of fame jive.

Isn’t any exposure good exposure? Personally, I’m excited to see graphic design spotlighted on the tube. Every other aspect of design has been exploited, interior, hair, makeup, photography. What negatives have rained down on these industries due to their reality shows?

I think the only negative effect I can perceive coming from this type of show is the reinforcement of the effeminate “designer” stereotype.

While I would probably watch this. I don’t think many other people would. Although I’m sure since it’s a “Americas Top _______” show that they will throw in all sorts of crazy twists like design a magazine from mud and a toothpick.

Come on, this could be fun! At least it’s about something we all like. Who doesn’t love watching other designers work… either you can pick up a thing or two from someone who’s really good, or you can feel superior to some schmuck trying to pass himself off as a designer… entertaining either way!

WIthout meaning to offend anyone, my reflex is to say that it’s another show to satisfy the idiot element in this great country. Another “fake reality” show to feed into that part of our culture that would rather win a lottery than apply themselves to making or building something. Before we go feeling so superior, part of that element—in my opinion–are all the marketers of marketing, who make nothing and contribute nothing, but spend their time getting famous and either getting rich or attempting to win the lottery of a following that will make them rich by listen to them and hearing them say, “You, too, can become successful selling.” Not making something worthwhile to sell, mind you.
