Product-Placement Whore Bravo Continues Cross-Promotional Relationship with Marvel Comics












First, it was Top Chef, with contestant Marcel Vigneron and X-Men character Wolverine.

And now, with Top Design, Bravo continues its partnership with Marvel Comics by casting another contestant who is a dead ringer for an X-Men character. This time, it's Lisa, who looks like the character Storm as played by Halle Berry.









Unlike Marcel, however, Lisa did not make it to the finals. Though she designed up a storm, the final results were more of a drizzle, and she became one half of the first pair to be ousted from the Pacific Design Center paradise not by an angel wielding a flaming sword, but by Jonathan Adler wielding a humiliating catchphrase, "See you later, decorators." (If you're going to rhyme and respect the profession, may we suggest, 'Go back to the Minors, interior designers'?).
