Andy Cohen, Bravo's Senior Vice President of Production and Programming shared his thoughts on this week's New York Magazine story here.
"I can't let the article sit on stands without jumping into the fray and saying how proud we are of our shows and of everybody who competes on them."
"I am not saying everybody who competes or wins is going to turn into a superstar. But there are notable success stories out there from a galaxy of former contestants. Emmett McCarthy has a boutique on Elizabeth Street and a home shopping deal; [...] Chloe Dao's Houston store has expanded and she's selling on QVC; Michael Knight has a jewelry line (!); [...] Not to mention Kara Janx, Kara Saun, Malan Breton..."
"I wish the article talked about how much the producers and crew sweat to death making everyone look great and take home a weekly paycheck for the privilege, not a chance for a hundred grand or to hawk a cookbook. And the shows rock as a result."
"By the way, I thought the article was pretty good and fair... Until I got to what I think is a slam regarding the fact that nobody on these Bravo competish shows are allowed to sex it up together."

Also, Ted Allen, of Queer Eye and Top Chef fame, had some things to say too. Money shot:
"He's whiny, he's immature, he's catty — he's really kind of a jackass, whether he won Project Runway or not."
Mrowr! Go read the whole thing.
