I’m still so disgusted with Joe’s behavior on Face Off the other night and I was thinking about it earlier…
I will never understand why people walk off of reality show competitions after working SO hard to earn a spot on them to begin with.
What I do understand is that the time constraints are stressful. It can’t be easy to work under so much pressure. And then to be critiqued and have every negative thing the judges say aired on TV for other people to hear…I’m sure that’s really hard. Maybe even embarrassing, depending on how you felt you did. (If you’re as deluded as Joe was, that last part doesn’t apply to you because you will never recognize that what you did wasn’t deserving of appearing on the show to begin with.)
Face Off is in its third season. Project Runway is in its tenth season.
You cannot tell me that the artists and designers have no knowledge of the way these shows work prior to filming. You WILL be forced to work in a high-stress environment. Your work WILL most likely be torn apart at some point. You know all of this when you sign up for it. If you don’t have thick skin, don’t audition. All you’re doing is taking away a spot from someone who really wants/will appreciate such a great opportunity.
Walking off is so ungrateful and immature. Especially with the way Joe did it. And Andrea (Project Runway). As a teacher, Andrea set a terrible example for her students. With Kooan…I don’t blame him as much because he seemed so sad when he left. It wasn’t a matter of shattered pride or a huge ego, he was broken. (And I’m sure Irena had a lot to do with it, I don’t even blame him for leaving after that. She has scared me since her own season.)
I’m rambling now. The point is…Joe’s attitude was disgraceful and even though I think it’s terrible that he walked out, I’m glad he’s gone.
