Game Show Pitches 
OXYGEN network has announced the development of a new fashion game show called “Fashion Drop”.
The show idea was originally filmed as a pitch for MTV. Read our on-set report of the show’s run-through in our article posted last May here: http://hollywoodjunket.com/blog/MTVfashiongameshow
Fashionistas are pulled-out of the audience and brought onto the stage that consists of a catwalk. They have to parade themselves up the catwalk in front of a panel of judges who ultimately decide which contestant has the most fashion savvy after competing in a series of challenges.
Those that lose are literally dropped through a trap-door in the stage floor.
No word on who the judges or hosts will be for the show. Last year’s MTV run-through of the show had Annie Jagger (stylists to the stars), Trevor Raines (designer), and Eva Marcelle Pigford (“America’s Next Top Model”) as judges with an unknown host.
The show is produced by World of Wonder (“Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood”, “Million Dollar Listing”).

MTV MTV’s new fashion game show was in full rehearsal swing on Thursday. No official show title has been revealed yet. But, HOLLYWOOD JUNKET host and reporter were on the set for the first half of filming.
Basically, yet another show that has three judges to eliminate contestants. This time, it’s the fashion police in full swing in a game show format. Judges on the show are: Annie Jagger (stylist to the stars), Trevor Raines (designer), and Eva Marcelle Pigford (“America’s Next Top Model”). The show is also equipped with a popular D.J. – “DJ Gusto”.
A young pretty female hosts the new show. Her name was never stated. Unfortunately, there’s no name to report. Though her inexperience was a bit evident, she has promising qualities that could very well make her the next Brooke Burns (“Dog Eat Dog”, “Hole in The Wall”).
About twenty everyday people, men and women, parade on a fashion catwalk in front of judges wearing clothing that best expresses their style. After they are seated, five chosen girls are called to return to the stage.
One-by-one the judges verbally pick-apart contestants outfits.
All, but one will stay to go on to compete, and be styled. The loser is “dropped” from the show. But, literally dropped into a trap door in the stage. Well, this is the first show I’ve seen to be so desperate for an edge, that they have to go to an extreme practice of hurling their contestants through the floor.
That concluded the first half of the show. By the looks of piles of clothing on the stage floor that morning on-set, I would guess that the show finished off by re-styling their fashion mishaps!
