Art As Commodity!

So I watched Work of Art, the new Top Chef/Project Runway/etc.-style show from Bravo. And although I'm pretty sure that someone like, say, Geoffrey Tennant would hate it, I like it so far! I'm not sure it would work on any other network, but Bravo's team is so good with this format now that the editing and casting are both razor sharp.

Plus, the "dialogue" is awesome, as evidenced by some of the highlights so far:

Jaclyn: [Judith called me] proud pussy? I find that offensive. I don't know how she would get that from me. [Cut to Jaclyn's self-portrait, in which she's flashing her junk Britney-style at the camera.]

Peregrine LOL: I'm really into lilies right now. Lilies and hermaphrodites.

Peregrine: I took Nicole's clothes off with my eyes, cause she's just a beautiful young lady. [Cut to Peregrine staring creepily at Nicole. O____________O]

Erik: [To nu!Tim Gunn, Simon de Pury] Do you wanna go hit the strip club, since I'm done?

Nao: I'm not responsible for your experience of my work! [LOL INTERROGATING FROM THE WRONG PERSPECTIVE.]

Judge dude whose name I missed: If I can't get off on it, I can't expect to convince somebody else to. [...While talking about Nao's minimalist "some lines and dots idk" painting. What. D:]

So yeah, that was a fun hour. Also, how ridiculously cute is Abdi? Love him.
