I know many of you have been following VSFS for a few years like me since 2001. Here's somethings to think about.
I think some people get so caught up in the "HYPE" before the show; that when the VSFS is finally shown, the show did not meet their expectations.
In 2001, 2002 and 2003 there was a lot of focus on the models being interviewed and lots of backstage preparation. People in the Forums and others said that was boring, the show needs to change. So VS changed themes in the shows and tried to make it different each year.
With all this Reality TV and contests on today's TV, VS came up with a new model competition to walk in the VSFS. It was a good idea but it consumed too much of the time we as BZers want dedicated to the runway and backstage.
In my opinion, that was what was wrong with the show.
I'll go no further for fear of rambling........ ............ :lost:
