The Cut: Finale
Filed under: Other Reality Shows, CBS, OpEd, The Cut  It's finale time! We are down to three: Chris C., Princess and Liz. It seems likely that the two annoyances will cancel each other out leaving Chris as the champ. Princess thinks Liz shouldn't win because she can't make patterns or sketches but Liz does have a more classic style. The standard reality moment of having the rejecterinos come back to help brings all of the cut Cutters back and each of the final three gets to choose two helpers. Liz gets Wes and Felix, Chris C.wants James and Deanna and Princess selects Chris and Rob (what no one wants Crazy Jeff?)....

The Cut: Second-To-Last Episode
Filed under: Other Reality Shows, CBS, OpEd, The Cut  I'm finally back to watching The Cut after a few weeks when it was pre-empted here on the West Coast. There are four aspiring designers remaining: Princess, Liz, Felix and Chris. Their assignment is float around on a garbage barge for two hours and scavenge things to use in clothing design. Although the designers are supposed to work on their own Felix and Liz help each other out (or rather Felix helps Liz). They then have dinner with Tommy Hilfiger and no one really seems up to the task of simple dinner conversation. Felix and Liz continue to work together while Chris...

The Cut: Episode 10
Filed under: Other Reality Shows, CBS, OpEd, The Cut  The pivotal moment occurs in this episode when the one-and-only strangely magnificent, deliciously creepy Karl Lagerfeld shows his face to judge a photo competition. Seeing Lagerfeld slither across the room is nothing short of fabulous. Can someone please give him a reality show?
No more teammates tonight, everyone goes solo. The Tommy wannabes are on their own to design their own ad campaigns. Deanna plans a girl who takes on the establishment. Wes plans a baseball extravaganza, Liz decides she wants her model draped in American flags in Grand Central Station, Chris wants his girl to be lost in Harlem, Princess puts her...

The Cut: Episode 9
Filed under: Other Reality Shows, CBS, OpEd, The Cut  We start off with the high drama this week as Chris lays into Liz for being an idea stealer. The task this week is to sell embellished Tommy clothes on the streets from the back of a truck. Felix and Rob are the team leaders. This week Deanna is chosen last. Back at the pad, both teams take to mimicking Liz, she hears and goes on the attack and only Rob defends her (or at least doesn't admit to finding her snobby). Princess finally gets frustrated with the yelling and goes off on Liz. The teams manage to get down to businesss...

The Cut: Episode 8
Filed under: Other Reality Shows, CBS, The Cut  Deanna and Chris Cortes are team leaders this week and the project is a plane. Princess gets picked last again but then gets shipped off to a spa with Tommy. Liz and Shauna are pretty much of out commission with stomach flu. This gives them the chance to commiserate about how over-educated and under-appreciated they are. Meanwhile Princess laps up the sun and the Tommy-time. Deanna's team paints the plane themselves while Chris's team outsources the labor. Deanna's team uses a wild vibrant design with bricks, graffiti and a picture of Tommy while Chris uses an icon approach. In the Style Forum, Princess gets points...

The Cut: Episode 7
Filed under: Other Reality Shows, CBS, The Cut  The two teams get choose looks for rock bands. Wes and Liz choose up teams and for once Crazy Jeff isn't last, Princess is. But Crazy Jeff is still odd man out when the five person team takes on a four person band. Both groups get a taste of the "rock star" lifestyle (which mainly means getting tipsy). Rob gets a bit hurt when the jacket he works on doesn't get choosen. The bands are a little the worse for the wear in the morning but manage to get the job done. Then both bands play. Next up it's time for Style Hell. Tommy decides...

The Cut: Episode 6
Filed under: Other Reality Shows, CBS, The Cut  The two teams have to create their own stores selling re-imagined clothes from Goodwill but the competition seems lopsided from the beginning making for an episode that is even more oddly paced than usual. Deanna and Crazy Jeff's team name their store Comme Undone while James, Liz and Princess's team calls their store the Garment Gallery. Jessica gets the flu and her team is already missing team leader Felix who is on the jet with Tommy and Shauna on the way to Sundance. Comme Undone opens ahead of the Garment Gallery even with Crazy Jeff fighting with just about everyone. The Garment Gallery realizes they...

The Cut: Episode 5
Filed under: Other Reality Shows, CBS, The Cut  This week our shivering fashionistas head to the Southwest to create a little Western design, two outfits for each team. Deana and Princess are the team leaders. But there's a catch, only part of the team gets to go to the Texas or New Mexico, the rest have to execute the design from instructions they receive on the phone. Princess decides to stay in New York whereas Deana heads to the field. Crazy Jeff hires a tailor to make an excellent denim outfit, thereby temporarily redeeming himself but when the team returns money is tight. Jeff and Shauna get into it. And Jeff runs off...

The Cut: Episode 4
Filed under: Other Reality Shows, CBS, The Cut  Finally, a design competition! The teams have to design dresses. The teams are headed by Wes and Little Tommy. Once again, Crazy Jeff is the last picked. This week's invitations are to Hilfiger's party in Soho. Chris and Rob, Deanna and Wes snap up the invites. They are given $500 each to buy outfits. Rob feels guilty for spending money that he should give to his children. In the cutting rooms, Little Tommy dominates the others in making the dresses, deciding to ignore the pattern Princess cut. On the other team, Liz is her usual difficult but driven self, Julie turns up her nose at...

The Cut: Episode 3
Filed under: Other Reality Shows, CBS, The Cut  Seeing snow fall during a reality show just makes me feel as if it is even more out of step. The challenges on tonight's episode, to recreate The Cotton Club and Studio 54, are a bit more intriguing than last week's pimp my Navigator episode but wouldn't it be better if the "designers" were allowed to choose how they wanted to do the two clubs rather than just researching the past? This week James and Felix are in charge and pick teams. Crazy Jeff gets last picked. The invitation is to a party in the Hamptons (in the winter). Crazy Jeff and Princess and James and...
