…And, if so, did you notice that one of the mentors on the “Painter turns Conceptual Artist” episode of Faking It was previously a participant (not a designer) on Changing Rooms? (I think it might have been the “Camberwell” episode in series nine, but it’s hard to tell which is which just from a description in the episode guide.) It’s not a big deal and I’m not saying there’s necessarily anything fixed or fake about these programs–and, having watched more American reality TV than I’d like to admit, I know people often go on these types of shows for exposure in order to possibly advance their careers–but for some reason, however irrational, it bothered me a little to see it on BBC America. It just seemed odd.
