By shifting part of the focus to fashion as a marketable business, Making The Cut appears to have cut out all the gimmicks, and unnecessary drama, focusing instead on the personalities, talent, skill level, and the design itself. This format plays to both towering strengths of mentor Tim Gunn, letting him do what he does best.
With its global backdrop, imaginative designs, and two of the friendliest faces you’ve ever seen reunited on TV, Making the Cut is exactly the show we need right now.

I love this show ! The format is great and exciting, the contestants are great, and what I appreciate the most is seeing the kindness and support between them. There's no cattiness and crazy egos. The judges are all fantastic a great combo, and I appreciate Naomi Campbell the most as she brings great gravitas and straight to the point opinions. Nicole Richie is always a little firecracker, my second favourite. I didn't like how Carine Roitfeld and Nicole weren't in Tokyo and they introduced a new judge. I don't watch reality shows but this is definitely great !

I am enjoying this new format quite a bit. What I don't like as much is the fake banter between Heidi & Tim. Heidi danced with dancers on some stage. And she gushed, Tim how did you organize this? Tim didn't, the show produced that bit, not Tim. Also, Heidi is way too enthusiastic, calm down a bit and get back to the designers.

There is a good deal of flaunting going on, but the designers rise to the occasion. ... We’ve seen these beats before, just not in this swank new setting. It’s comforting and fresh, a zhuzing up of a tried and true formula. The same is true of the judges.
The good news is the fashion competition at the heart of “Making the Cut,” as in “Project Runway,” remains strong. The competitors are mostly serious designers. They’re not gimmicky distractions to be laughed off stage (except maybe one). ... Despite episodes with long-ish running times, “Making the Cut” doesn’t show the judges offering post-runway critiques to every designer, just the top two and bottom two.
Making the Cut and Next in Fashion aren’t exact clones, but their differences from Runway do seem reverse-engineered to avoid too much overlap. ... The show tries to make the most of Tim and Heidi, who couldn’t have come cheap, with silly but inoffensive skits where they visit local tourist destinations.
Mass consumption doesn’t make for the most eye-catching fashion, and it doesn’t even make for particularly engaging reality television. Not that “Making the Cut” isn’t enjoyable enough, if only because its rules and paces are readily digestible to an audience that’s long familiar with the formulas that drive the genre. It’s easy to watch.
Some of the designers really do seem like talents who just needed to step into the spotlight. But given those ingredients, it should emerge as something far more lively than the flat, lethargic show it manages to muster.
Yawn. We watch both Project Runway (with the new hosts) and Making the Cut, and Project Runway is far more interesting. Heidi and Tim are annoying, their skits are a bore (stick to fashion) and the show lacks suspense. Auf wiedersehen ("a-vee-de-sen")

I was so disappointed. I love Tim and Heidi but the contestants were meh I couldn't warm up to any of them except Meagan. Other than the Joseph I didn't see that Naomi et al had any idea what women who could afford the clothes would want. It seemed like a contest between widow's weeds and biker gone soft and anything black. Boring!!

Just because Tim and Heidi are given a ton more money to make this show than they had for Project Runway, it doesn't make this a better show. It's just a lot of great locations and bad "bits" featuring the comedy styles of Tim and Heidi - which always fall flat. We just don't care much about any of the contestants in the series like we did with PR. The fact that they are already established designers also takes away the stakes. Watching a bunch of veritable newbies and the chemistry/drama in the work room really made PR work. This is just a lesser, glossy facsimile.
