    Its like watching paint dry. And thin plot, poor writing, bad acting. If it weren't for the eye candy I wouldn't have watched at all. (I need to get a life) With the endless flashbacks, you can tune in any time and catch up,,, or tune in at the end of week and see a total recap of the week complete with voice-over.

    Desire is the worst crap ever allowed on television. I couldn't get through the first episode. As far as Fashion House: The recaps have got to go!!!! I am soooooo sick of watching the same episodes over and over because they keep showing the same recaps over and over. We are not stupid, we can remember what came on last week.

    Like the story line, sooooooo annoyed by the recaps/flashbacks in every single episode. I would enjoy it so much more without all the flashbacks. I was promised no reruns, who needs reruns when they practically replay previous episodes everyday. Also some of the actors & actresses (if you can call them that) cannot act. Sure they're eye candy, but bottom line the acting sucks. The Like the story line, sooooooo annoyed by the recaps/flashbacks in every single episode.

    I"m hoping it will pick up in the 3rd or 4th episode. Now that we have the groundwork laid out, we can look forward to some action. I can't wait for Bo & Morgan to beat the crap out of each other. I've got popcore waiting . . .

    They just cannot act. How come everyone sounds like they have a sore throat?

    Recaps have to go. it is ridiculous. Do they just want to kill time? How many times do we have to watch the same shit over? I am about ready to stop watching it to many recaps. Kelly

    This is a very exciting and addictive program. I gave the show a 5 because they do too many re-caps. They re-cap every Saturday, and that's understandable, but they also do constant flashbacks throughout the week. The show is sixty minutes and at least 35 minutes is spent on re-capping. It is very frustrating for a dedicated fan. I was looking forward to Maria's wedding drama, This is a very exciting and addictive program. I gave the show a 5 because they do too many re-caps.

It is very frustrating for a dedicated fan. I was looking forward to Maria's wedding drama, but instead of intense drama they re-play everything that happened since the beginning of the season. I mean come on, we know already, get on with the show. It's almost as redundant and frustrating as that stupid 'Head On' commercial. They creator's of this how obviously worked hard to make a good series and they suceeded. However, they a driving their loyal fans away by being redundant. Stop the reviews and get on with the drama! Please:) Oh, one more thing, Michelle deserves everything that she gets. She's a prude and needs to be taken down a peg or two. Ilike her, but don't overdo her goodness.… Expand

    If they would play Morgan Fairchild, it may get better. Not a good soap, but it's okay. The weekly recap is more than enough. Bo is beautiful.

    "Fashion House" is a passable pop diversion, and a definite curiosity. But yeah folks, both soaps are perfectly awful on almost every level, which makes them nothing, if not, well, hilariously perfect soap scum. Its fine, but so close.

    "Fashion House" is a one-night stand that's so visceral, incredulous and devoid of real emotional involvement that it inevitably turns into a co-dependent relationship. I fell into the soul vacuum that is "Passions" last year when I suddenly found myself at home in the early afternoon before grad school classes.

    acting is horrible, plot is horrible, corny music is always in the background to fill in empty spaces of air......the black chick in the show should stick to modeling, and the spanish girl should cling onto her old j-lo gig

    It's awash in sudsy Bo Derek and Morgan Fairchild, plus a bit of Tippi Hedren. But slow tension fails to fill the first episode, and the acting is a tangle of scorns.

    [Of the two new soaps,] only "Fashion House" seems to understand that it's supposed to be a guilty pleasure.
