Shopaholic Showdown

The programme pits four 'fashionable' women against one another who are given an invented scenario to dress for (date, wedding etc) and a large closet to select an entire out from before being judged but the (awful) style 'expert' judges comprising of Holly Valance/Candy and Jason Gardener amongst others I've never heard of.

The most frustrating thing about this programme, having tried around five episodes before giving up, is the critique the judges give. In every episode I've watched, the most genuinely stylish/chicest dressers are always eliminated whilst the tackiest most ott dresser wins...the judging portion of the show is hilarious since none of the judges seem to know what they're talking about. Someone will be chic, understated and elegant but they'll be called 'boring' 'safe' and 'bland', whilst someone who chooses ill-fitting, tacky clothes will be applauded...as a viewer, it doesn't make sense since this is a show about fashion and style.

As a viewer I am left feeling unsatisfied at the ending since the judges always seem to pick the most predictable (and badly dressed) contestants perhaps for the sympathy vote: usually they are much older and with ott dress sense bordering on tacky whilst the girl who is chic and stylish will be sent home for being 'too safe' or 'bland'...I'm sorry but this is a show about fashion - since when did chic = boring and flamboyant tack = fabulous?
