I just got a chance to watch the official first episode of Season 19 (I don't count the episode when they are choosing the finalists).
My first impression is that I LOVE THIS SEASON! Here's why:
1. I love the new scoring system! It brings a whole new dimension to the judging panel. One thing that has always bugged me is that you never really knew how well people were doing. You couldn't always go by what the judges were saying. Now, you csn follow along and actually compare each of the models. And I love that the scores are a combination of the competition, the judges and America.
2. I love that America has a say! Finally, it won't just be about who the judges fall in love with.
3. I love the new judge Rob Evans! He's cute, he's funny, and you gotta love the accent.
4. I love the new creative consultant, Johnny Wujek.
A few things I'm not loving so much:
1. I wish Nigel, Mr. Jay and Miss Jay hadn't left, and I wish they would have gotten rid of Kelly Cutrone.
2. I like the idea of a college edition, but there is so much drama and immaturity. Oh wait, that happens every season. Never mind.
Overall, I'm really excited about all of the changes this season. A makeover was way overdue. The show had been the same for too long. I think it's going to be a great season!
