The big news in reality shows this week is that there’s pretty damning evidence that a Project Runway contestant may have copied photos from online, run them through a “sketch” filter with Photoshop, and submitted them as his own sketches in order to get on the show.
If true, the consequences are pretty fraught for the Project Runway producers and BravoTV.
This story made Yahoo! news, some other online entertainment news sites, and so on, but was broken by a TWOP poster named “victor rolf.”
The thread that started it all:
viktor spotted it first, and then others collaborated on making screencaps of the images submitted as “sketches” in this season’s premiere.
Nothing’s proven, but the images are pretty fishy. I’ll have to go back and re-watch the relevant portion of the premiere. The discussion ranges on from there with more detail and more speculation.
