Bravo, a channel satellite tv you can duly enjoy with a satellite TV subscription, is a power house of reality TV shows. The network banks on the clash of cameras, competition and voyeurism. Yet, the shows on Bravo are not your typical all out sort of reality shows. It's not the Real World, it's not Fear Factor. Bravo aims to offer high quality; high definition programming that is a cut above the rest. The audience is more sophisticated; these are the types who walk around with iPhones and hobo bags and spend their evenings with Cosmos or Hagen Daaz in front of their shiny new HD TV sets. Of course, with this crowd, you have to cater to their sense of smarts and savvy. Thus you've got shows that are little more creative and designer. Bravo is the current auteur de jour of reality TV. Here is a sampling of what you can watch.
Step It Up and Dance: So this isn't the channel's most original program, but it delights and entertains nonetheless. It's basically a smarter version of the Fox show So You Think You Can dance. By the end of the day you can see bulging muscle calves in HD, and lots of waving arms. The dancing in this show isn't just any dance, it's theatrical dance, and it's quite interesting. Winners get $100,000 in prize money and perhaps a career in Mamma Mia.
Shear Genius: This show is all about the hair. You take 12 young and aspiring hair dressers, or hair designers, or stylists, and pitch them in a grizzly competition involving shears and boxes of hair dye. So, it's not all that grizzly, but it does get catty. Contestants have to work with fussy hair models and limited amounts of time. The show features Jaclyn Smith and famous salon people like Frederic Fekkai and Sally Hershberger as judges. The winner will take away $100,000 and one of their winning styles featured in the pages of Allure. Not a very substantial amount if you think about $700 haircuts, yet it's a start. The stylists come from all over the world and have personalities that run the gamut from haughty to perky to sweet. Watch all the crazy dos in HD for best results.
The Rachel Zoe Project: Ms. Zoe is the famous stylists to young starlets like Nicole Richie and Mischa Barton. She has perfected the easy, bohemian countess look that is sported by countless Hollywood types. Her new show is basically a look at her life. We follow her around as she gets things done. There are plenty of celebrity guest stars and lots of assistant drama.
The Fashion Show: This one is fresh off the ground. It's basically like the successful Project Runway, which was locked in a network war for a while. The show features Isaac Mizrahi as host along with actress Kelly Rowland and Fern Mallis, the senior vice president of satellite tv Fashion.
These are just some of the reality TV offerings which you can catch on Bravo. Consult your satellite TV guide listings for more real TV programming.
