In a way, we can’t blame him. We make no predictions as to his future on the show and no assessments as to his talent, but the fact of the matter is, his portfolio, as presented, is awfully weak. He seems like a nice enough guy but he’s not, so far as we can tell, a “personality” in the reality TV sense, so how did he get cast, exactly? He does have extensive costuming experience, so maybe he was cast on the strength of his resume. We’ll see.
