Shark Bytes

I occasionally watched this show as it was on at a boring time, locally. Up until they re-did this woman who was a magazine editor or some big shot in the journalistic world. The guy brought her out in this really short dress, then he starts talking about the spike heels he made her wear and says something like 'you know you have great legs and these shoes really show them off.' She looked at him for around 3 seconds like she wanted to drown him in a pool of leaches (maybe she's used to saying 'you're fired!'), then gave him a phony half-smile and mumbled something. OK, so what we are to infer is....she didn't want the makeover? She wanted to cover up her bitchy corporate face? Either way, that was it for me. Why they wouldn't cut that out is beyond me, but that "lady" was the shark (like so many you and I see every day--the corporate shark) and she took a bite out of this mess. The ironic thing is she really DID look great in the heels....

I like that Emme hosts this show, as she is a lovely woman. She goes to show you don't have to be a size 2 to be beautiful (in fact, I think Calista Flockhart is both bony and ugly. Someone feed her, pronto). That said, I hate how they dress these people! This is fashion? That gay guy has no color sense, and he has no clue what clothes look good on a person's body type. Sometimes the hair and make-up will be o.k., but the clothes they dress them in makes them look less fashionable, more fashion victim. I wouldn't be caught dead in some of the clothes they recommend. All I can say is-get some better clothes consultants, and this show would be much better.

Emme is an okay host, but if you want to see makeover shows, you're better off watching Maury Povich (since he seems to have them once a week) or TLC's "A Makeover Story". There you get two people being made up at once for the same event

I love FE! I love Emme, Brenda Copper, and especially Leon. The advice was great, and it was fun to see all the different salons across the country. The show was the reason I paid for cable. But when the repeats hit, I got bored. That show could have gone on forever, and I wish it had. By now Brenda Cooper and Emme must have kids, and it would have been fun to see them on the show. FE makeovers are good for anybody's life, and I think the show was doing a good public service.

When they started to show the same 5 episodes over & over again. I think I've seen the dog trainer/dog, horse jockeys, recent divorcee, Star Wars fan, and doctor makeovers a zillion times. I like the show but it needs some new episodes One day Brenda's pregnant, the next day she's not. As for Emme, she has the easiest job (next to Vanna White) on the planet. She doesn't actually have to get hands on during the makeover, she just stands there & narrates it.. By the by I'd like to have a job as a plus-size model- in order to keep your job you have to pig out & not exercise, I could handle that..

One episode, they gave a dog a makeover. I had always loved the show, and I still like it, but that certainly put a dent in my enthusiasm. Also, the dog's name was really annoying, Sister something or other. And, I agree that Emme is annoying. Not because she is big, which I don't have a problem with, but because she is stupid.

The above poster is confusing Fashion Emergency with whatever show Joan & Melissa Rivers do together. Fashion Emergency jumped the shark on Day 1. I would rather watch plastic chicken faced Joan than Porky Emme waiving her arms unnaturally as she speaks. And, who the f**k qualified a portly, whining fag (not that there's anything wrong with that) and a butt white ponytailed limey to dress anyone? This show is a waste of perfectly good air time.

The only thing this show had going for it was the surprise of the new look. They ruined that when I started seeing parts of the new look in the commercials. Also, the way Leon and whatever fashion designer is in that episode pushes an ugly outfit on the make-over-people while they try to smile and suggest another. "Oh, no, sweetie, that look says working-mother-of-two meets autumn-crisp-air." Shut up, Leon.
