Can Iman save "The Fashion Show"?
When we last left Bravo's "The Fashion Show" in 2009, it was a reality show with an awkward format and a strange mix of judges with about as much chemistry as Jim Belushi and Courtney Thorne Smith. We assumed that the program had been sent off to the big reality show graveyard in the sky. So news that Bravo is resurrecting the show wasn't exactly thrilling, until they announced that Iman will be replacing Kelly Rowland as co-host.
Can the former supermodel and current Mrs. David Bowie turn the show around? There's a lot of potential here. We've watched her host the Canadian version of "Project Runway," and she's not afraid to speak her mind. A bit of retooling (and perhaps a replacement for Fern Mallis) would do wonders. But please Bravo, what ever you do, do not bring back "Launch My Line". We're begging you.
