Tim Gunn's Guide to Style getting a revamp?

Tim Gunn's Guide to Style, Bravo's makeover show starring the erudite Tim Gunn, is already taking a hiatus, with the show airing reruns for the time being. Blogging Project Runway has a statement from Bravo saying that there's no plan for when the show will return with new episodes, "but it will return as a compliment to Project Runway." That leaves the Blogging Project Runway team wondering if the show will see some retooling.

A revamp wouldn't be surprising. The show has received mixed reviews and it sounds like our readers haven't enthusiastically embraced the show.

I thought the show worked best when a big designer made an appearance on the show -- seeing the subject of the episode receive a designer dress and look good in it really adds to the fantasy fulfillment aspect of the makeover. However, there's something that didn't work for me when Gunn educated the audience on fashion, which is strange because he's so great when he's critiquing designers on Runway.

One thing I'd definitely like to see on Guide are appearances by past Project Runway designers -- I'm sure the chance to be dressed by Nick Verreos would be just as exciting to Guide to Style's makeover recipients (who, if they know Tim Gunn, must know Project Runway), and Runway fans would enjoy the chance to see their favorite designers in their element.

What do you think? Did Guide to Style find its voice in the few episodes that aired? What does it need to really sizzle? What subtractions would actually be additions?
