I’ve been a little mad at “Top Chef” since they sent home my favorite misunderstood chef, Marcel Vigneron, but I feel a lot better now that he’s basically saying everything about him that I said. He did an interview with E! and covered the two-faced contestants, what’s up with his own reality show and who […]

After Wednesday night’s boring two hours of “American Idol,” I was rejuvenated with Thursday’s emotional and energetic Nashville auditions. It was an hour shorter but had way more heart like the first two episodes (which I really enjoyed). The quest to find the next great 15-year-old continued with a massive overly-pimped contestant (Lauren Alaina) in […]

It usually only takes about three “American Idol” audition episodes before I start going crazy wanting the real contest to start. This season is no different. I was actually entertained by the first two episodes but Wednesday night’s audition episode in Milwaukee almost put me to sleep. But then Judge Steven Tyler would scream sing […]

Thursday night’s “American Idol” was one of the best audition episodes I’ve ever seen. I usually really really suffer during the audition process. I’ve never been a fan of the exploitation of bad singers and sob stories. But I’d suffer through until the real competition would begin. But Thursday’s episode in New Orleans was actually […]

Wednesday’s episode of “Top Chef All-Stars” featured one of the most popular episodes each season: restaurant wars. It also featured one of the most surprising early eliminations in the show’s history. Marcel Vigneron was sent packing tonight after his team failed miserably at restaurant wars. Marcel was the runner-up in Season 2 and is probably […]

A new opening. Two new judges. Fewer wretched singers. “American Idol” Season 10 premiered and, if I’m being honest, it didn’t feel much different to me. I barely noticed Simon Cowell or Ellen DeGeneres were gone. And to be even more honest, I JUST now (no joke) remembered Kara DioGuardi was ever even a judge. […]

If you’ve been watching this season’s “The Biggest Loser” then you know for the past several weeks there have been two new trainers (in addition to Bob and Jillian) but we’ve yet to see them or get their names. Tonight, they’re finally going to introduce them. I mean why tonight? Why not wait until the […]

Food Network’s “Worst Cooks in America” premiered Sunday night and there’s a new batch of really bad (and dumb) contestants. I’m not being mean either. They said it themselves. At least half of them last night admitted to having small brains or not possessing the power to think thoughts. Seriously. Chef Anne Burrell, or as […]

This week’s “Top Chef All-Stars” had less drama than last week’s but continued the trend of shocking eliminations. It was double-elimination week and while it was no surprise to see Stephen go, it was a little shocking for Dale L. to go. He’s the first former Top Chef runner-up to go. And it’s only week […]

Wow. I loved seeing Jen Carroll talking back to the “Top Chef” judges in Wednesday’s episodes. So often the judges blur the line between constructive criticism and insult and Jen decided she wasn’t going to take it any longer. “You guys are smart enough. You’re the judges. Why didn’t you say ‘hey can I get […]
