as above.
clearly episode 1 I can only cringe at the Lulu cosplayer for her massive fail and massive proscrastination and WITHOUT MY BOYFRIEND I AM A WRECK YET I WILL BE A BITCH TO THIS TOTALLY CAPABLE NICE GUY WHO I AM DATING.
I realize it is a reality show but damn i wanna slap them.
Jessica Nigri is a bro, Yaya can go suck dick.

Haven't seen any full eps, but did see the commercial, and immediately found myself wishing with all my heart that it didn't exist, due to fears of how cosplayers would be portrayed. By the sound of it, I'm not missing anything.

This was my feeling as well, only it was a friend who showed me a couple promo spots. It looked like typical mindless reality TV dreck, and from what I've been reading here and elsewhere, that is exactly what this crap is.

A scifi show about cosplay? Reminds me of "The Tester". Oh man this can only be terrible, must watch.

just copy and pasting from fb
Oh yes, my thoughts exactly. for the most part this show is making me cringe, but mostly it is cosplay related so I am watching it even though it is painful
It is scarring to know that in this show, despite all of Yaya Han's effort to not dramaticise the whole thing the rest of the cast, or non-cast, is pretty much missing the point, just why and where did they choose these people, I mean, yes, they obviously am very skilled, Jesse for example showcases immense inner strength and skill, although he is made to seem like he ain't more than a whiner fabricator. For anyone in the cosplay community, myself included (even though I am hardly involved in cosplay actually) this show seems to be mostly of what Cosplay isn't . So what happens if So you want to be a supermodel is a show about cosplay? This would be it.
Reality check if you don't mind, for myself, the community is instead anything but this show seems to imply, I like that I am watching it because finally we somewhat became mainstream (even though cosplay is a serious mainstream sub-culture as it is). But this episode, about body sizes, I'd a double slap on my desk as I watched it, this is sadly misleading. I am sorry, since when is this a supermodel event? But alas, it is the view of SOME people, I imagine that cosplayer who mentioned the issue about body sizes is right now taking a lot of flak... on her fb or whatever.
My community (The Lost Gospel Cosplay Community) has a huge following, and over 400 members who have come and gone and came back again, there are now HR managers, Concierge managers, salesworkers, part-timers, construction workers, even a guy who is now a high wage earning surgeon in spinal injury is among us. I am sorry to say despite our day jobs and some say utterly bitching moments when someone just shows up in the same but better made costume and you go all green-eyed jealousy over them, we are simply not what SyFy wants us to be.
Ok, admittedly in most communities, there is some drama, it is never 100% clean.

Speaking of bad reality TV, an old acquaintance of mine who is a part of a small business that renovates abandoned houses was featured on Flip That House or whatever it was. This guy, who is as neutral, stoic, and stone-faced as they come, was asked to participate in some of the manufactured drama. While his acting managed to pass on TV, anyone who knew anything about the guy found it outright bizarre. His business was also in a bit of trouble for a spell because of the backlash from the way they were portrayed on the show. No doubt some of what's going on here parallels what was going on there.

I saw two episodes with my sister. The costumes were pretty impressive, but they focused far too much of the drama for my taste.

So... I can't be the only one who enjoyed this piece from Zac. (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2013-09-10)
But yeah, it's just another one of those sensationalist reality tv.

They really should make a discovery channel esque - How they made it - cosplay show about cosplay props and gears and stuff.
seriously, it would be a show that at least HELPS the fucking community than spoil it for everyone else
-
A real show about cosplay would be hopelessly boring.
-
I dunno, some sort of speed challenge team competition could be fun.

It's not a show, but Man at Arms is pretty cool.

Heh, to you maybe, having a one on one discussion about issues of cosplay, discovery of cosplay, and how they actually make them and a team of them prop makers go through arguments on which best to make a sword or a really huge ass sword and what kinda risks they bear when they use chemicals and all those confessions about how they really wanted to win? Oh wow.
Think Junkyard wars, but with cosplay.
