Is it surprising to say that I have found myself staring in the face of disappointment once again? MTV has managed to ruin another underground celeb with their latest acqusition of Alexa Chung for the show It’s On With Alexa Chung. I’ve watched the show for the past three days, and while I remained optimistic for the first few episodes out of my pure love for the Brit, I am willing to fess up and say that it really isn’t a good show. While Miss Chung has managed to keep her style top notch, her awkwardness on camera really shines through.
I think the saddest part of the whole thing is that it is quite obvious that no one in the crowd has any idea who she is. There is a constant feeling that is easily relateable to that of an awkward silence. Her whitty English quips and comedy is often beyond the brain capacity of the puberty ridden teens that fill the bleacher style seats in their American Eagle, super boot cut, faded denim and their A&F hoodies.
While I’m on the topic of the jokes she is very poor at delievering, she clealry has the worst writers in television. It’s bad when you can tell that the host of the show doesn’t even think the jokes are funny. The way she painstakingly drudges through each joke is almost unbearable. It’s about time they fire all those lame high school interns and get some quality writing for the show (I think the genius minds behind Fashion Indie could do the trick…and we’re cheap!).
While the daily sight of Alexa Chung’s beauty gives me something to look forward to, and her guests aren’t half bad, I will say they need to do some damage control before this spirals beyond salvation. I recommend she keeps her Topshop name drops on the down low too! Us fashion folks don’t need to be stiff arming MTV douche bags in the store to get to the new collections that Topshop keeps conveniently tucked away in the back corner of the store.
