NBC announces second season of "Blow Out"

[CCL]

Sadly, what I remember most about the first season was the incessant product placements for American Express.

, Mariner. Wasn't there also something for Lenscrafters? I remember someone coming in for a day of beauty and then having to go to Lenscrafters to top off the day. As you do.

Lest we not forget .... Maybelline.

CCL,
I forgot to say before yes her name is Kim! Thank you. About Lenscrafters and Maybelline. It's all starting to come back now. Hopefully this season will focus more on the characters and less on the sponsors.

I am so excited about this return! Jonathan and the salon is such a trip...these people are so affected!

I can't wait! I loved last season...can't wait for the new one. My first posts last year were on here about Blow Out, season 1. Why isn't it on Bravo??

It is on Bravo. I think NBC is a producing partner or some such business connection? Maybe NBC owns Bravo? Don't know.

*ding, ding* We have a winner. NBC does own Bravo.

Yes, this show followed The Restaurants format and virtually everything in the show was an advertisment/product placement. Jonathon's eye wear was all from Lenscrafters, his car was provided by Mercedes, etc. They were all major sponsors and had their little moment on camera.

Ooh, do I win something? I'm all excited.

Hm, you're right, Chorita, the Salon was very similar to the Restaurant in terms of sponsorship. I didn't even think of that connection. Hm. Maybe Jonathan can whip out his hair dryer and be all "Conair, baby."

Does anyone know when/where Blow Out is going to air in Canada? Last year it played at the same time as in the US on the W Network but I don't see anything on its website. I hate when they air programs months later in Canada - we are just getting Project Runway now.

I was hoping that the Canadian Bravo would carry this - they did the first time didn't they? At any rate, I'm keeping my eyes peeled. If I see it listed anywhere, I'll let you know.
