I mentioned this on another thread about the show tonight.

There's a phenomenon called "hate-watching."

People watch shows with the intent to dissect and ridicule the show or the participants. I first came across the term when looking for articles about the NBC show "Peter Pan Live!"

The online definition of hate-watching:

"Hate-watching is the act of watching a show that you claim to dislike with the sole purpose of mocking it."

I'm not a fan of Lisa's, but I've also never been one to come here with harsh criticism of her. I'm a huge PR fan, so I'll see the show as usual. However, I'll bet some folks will be viewing Project Runway All-Stars tonight so they can dissect her performance and complain about it in the forums.

But it's that way for everything. We talk about television programs that we like or dislike. We talk about our favorite actors and actresses and who said what as well as who was wearing what. The live performance of Carrie Underwood was discussed at length. I too will watch Project Runway and then probably come here to give my opinion. I was always a fan of hers and watched PM Style for years although preferred Isaac's products more than hers. I've watched programs on other networks already that Lisa was on and sometimes felt she was too stiff and I probably posted that here. So what! We make comments about all who are in the public eye.

I don't know about you but I don't watch any kind of programming if I do not like the person in it.

I think dooBdoo is specifically talking about someone who watches not to be entertained but to hate on the person. They only watch for the sole purpose to find fault with the programming.

There isn't one friend of mine in the real world who has any idea who Lisa Robertson is. None of my friends watch QVC. They think it is low brow. This low brow chick still watches but I know if they knew I watched, I would get a speech on how low brow it really is...

So do you need some Brow Magic?

Weird how the thread turned (hate watching?). It was just an observational thing. Much like "a kids born today won't know what a cassette player is" type of observation...with a giggle.

Not just Lisa, but any new shopper today won't have any idea who Kathy Levine or Bill Bowersox is...even though they were the cornerstone of this shopping network concept & beloved by many of us.

So..... all this time I had the TV on Bravo. I was confused why I wasn't seeing Project Runway.
