"The Stylist": MTV Finally Jumps On The Fashion Reality Show Bandwagon

It seems reality television gurus Mary-Ellis Bunim and Jonathan Murray are hard at work filling in the gaps in MTV's unscripted lineup with a new Project Runway-esque reality competition called The Stylist...

The network is set to announce a series order for "The Stylist" on Tuesday during its upfront presentation to advertisers. On the show, a group of fashion stylists -- design-savvy professionals who assemble clothes and accessories for celebrities and models -- compete for a contract with a major agency.

"Stylist" marks a slight departure for the network. MTV has aired occupation-based competition series, including "Miss Seventeen," but "Stylist's" format also would be at home on such networks as Bravo, TLC and the CW. The number of episodes and "Stylist" premiere date are not known. (The Live Feed)

Much as we'd like to sit here looking down our disdainful noses at the current state of MTV reality shows, we have to admit to feeling at least a tad intrigued.  Damn Project Runway and its crazy legal battles that have left us bereft of cutthroat fashion reality competition for so long.  We'll give Stylist a shot as long as it's less mind-numbingly dull than the loathesome Rachel Zoe Project...
