The new Under The Gunn--a Project Runway imitation with Gunn in the head judge’s chair--merely has the feel of lifeboats being lowered.
The coach-team setup give the show a slight Voice vibe, but the whole thing feels flat. [10 Feb 2014, p.50]

I joined Metacritic just so I could say that I really enjoyed this show. I look forward to next week's episode more than I have been looking forward to Project Runway. Much less stupid arguing, more about the creative process and mentoring. And lots of Tim Gunn.

I love Tim Gunn, and sometimes I love Under the Gunn, too. The mentoring concept is a good one. But it doesn't work when Tim Gunn sees something he doesn't approve of. Instead of mentoring the mentors to get things working better, he gets impatient and shifts from mentoring the mentors, to being judgmental and making decisions for them - the very things he counsels his mentors not to do with their designer teams. If Mr. Gunn can fine-tune his managing style, the show will get better. Otherwise, it will frustrate viewers, because the interactions and designer growth that they watch the show for are not going to be there..

Tim Gunn is the ONLY reason I tuned into this show. I was hopeful that maybe we would have more FASHION allowing the designers more than a few hours to create a look so we can really see what they can accomplish. I love the "mentor" concept but lets face it - Tim Gunn is the ULTIMATE MENTOR and no one can hold a candle to him. I do LOVE that each weeks winner is given $5k - a very nice unique feature that Project Runway does not offer (but should!). I also wish Mondo would quit wearing shorts and sandals as this does not look very "fashionable" - more like relaxed Target or Marshall's. Hopefully they will have some "team building" exercises and maybe allow "2-days" to finish a challenge. I will keep tuning in week to week because I can't get enough of Tim Gunn and his awesome ability to help people move forward in the right direction. Hopefully he will inspire his three "mentor hopefuls" to be more like a coaches and allow the designers to be the centers of attention. Oh - love LOVE the new puppy Oscar!!! Where is Swatch??? : ) "MAKE IT WORK TIM GUNN!"

Sorry, I need to rip the bandaid off by saying... this was SO boring! I love Tim Gunn, and really wanted to love this show, but I just couldn't. The biggest problem is that they were going on and on and on about who was going to be on which mentor team. BORING! The concept of having the mentors was ok, but the show just didn't keep my interest. We want to see designers..making **** sending them down the runway to be judged. Period. This was sad and painful to watch.

I love Tim Gunn, but the first two episodes were agonizing to wait until they selected teams. I am not at all interested. Also the poor designers had no say to develop themselves because the mentors were inflicting their style on them. They are to assist, not to have the designers do their style. Let them alone and provide "guidance". I felt Tim had no backbone with the mentors. He should have stopped Nick in his tracks. Mondo is too overbearing. Anya ... well, it is really a badly designed show. Having the judges pass the buck to who goes home because they don't really want to make the decision is not good also. It is a filler waiting for Project Runway. Frankly, I don't think this system worked well enough. Give those designers some room to breathe. Natalie was afraid to do it herself because she was held by the hand earlier. This entire show was not up to Project Runway standards. I love Tim Gunn and he is the main reason I watched it, but the whole concept needs a great deal of tweaking. And please, don't have us go through 2 weeks of picking teams ever again. That was soooooooooooo painful. Who cares. Get on with it. Judges, do your job and judge. It is not a popularity concept. And Tim... control your mentors. Give the Designers some room to do what they do best ... fail or not... let them design.

It is unfortunate that Tim Gunn was not given a more deserving show, and that these less than deserving "mentors" are a part of the downfall. I am a fashion student, and watch shows such as this for inspiration. All I see here is sub-par judges, such as the Elaine Boosler-esque wannabe, mentors who don't have any self confidence, and an all-over sense on nastiness.
