How many things can you really do with hair?
On the way to work today I saw a poster in the subway for yet another new reality competition show on Bravo. It’s called Shear Genius and is presumably about the search for America’s next top hair stylist. Yes, hair.
For those keeping score at home, Bravo currently airs Project Runway (fashion), Top Chef (food), Top Design (design), and now Shear Genius (hair). It got me thinking about other competitions the network could try to explore. Here’s what I came up with:
Top Gardener — Sixteen florists compete in a series of extravagent challenges in an attempt to be crowned America’s best. The winner get’s a lifetime supply of bulbs, and a greenhouse created in their own image.
Make Up Test — Contestants spend their nights living in a luxury loft in New York’s famous make-up district and then spend their days applying “untraditional” make-ups to the faces of ugly people. The winner get’s an exclusive deal with MAC to produce their very own shade of stage-foundation.
Pharmacist Show Down — Professional pharmacists try to out do each other in an escalating series of challenges involving the prescribing of anti-depressants to the cast of America’s Next Top Model. The winner gets his or her name put on a new series of erectile dysfunction medication.
Project Runway (Tarmac Edition) — A dozen air traffic controllers have to land planes safely under increasing distractions (What’s that? The instrument panel has been replaced with a Connect Four game? Tough, these things can happen when you’re a professional AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER.). Each week one contestant will be voted off by our judges: three goverenment FAA regulators. The last player remaining gets their own private gate at Ronald Reagan International Airport.
What other shows should Bravo pick up?

Project Runway (Tarmac Edition), hands down. The home game version of the show for the Wii would be so sweet.
