America’s Next Top Model host Tyra Banks must really like fake drink commercials, last season with the fake energy drink and this season with “Fierce Roast.” What’s next? Smize water, made from the tears of previous contestants? I felt like the runway challenge was just a shameless plug for Lady GaGa, as if she needs [...]

[Top Chef Season 8 Episode 15] After Carla’s elimination, the rest of the contestants sing her praises about how she was a cool person.

I was happy to see a different Amazing Race landscape from the Beijing leg back in Season 14 and the Shanghai leg in Season 16. There was no self-driving in the actual episode and the only time they could have made a mistake was driving to the airport in Japan. Ironically, Kent & Vyxsin had [...]

America’s Next Top Model: Big Hair And Bigger Attitudes I was really disappointed this week with the America’s Next Top Model photos. So far the girls have built themselves a very underwhelming portfolio. The girls were given such beautiful outfits and Pamela Hanson did a horrible job dealing with lighting. Why is there a big [...]

I appreciated that this episode of The Amazing Race decided to go a different route from Season 15′s cityscape for more of Japan’s traditions celebrating Shinto and, well, I’m not sure what the mud exactly was a representation of. Why were so many teams gung ho on taking the needle in the haystack task? Especially [...]

I’m under the assumption that if they had a sixth kid, [...]

This week of America’s Next Top Model saw the departure of Ondrei and apparent senior citizen Nicole, but there were just several odd elements to this episode.

Nicole was worried about her critique of photographing too old, so she wanted to make sure she didn’t look old [...]

I basically wasted an hour last week having the whole Amazing Race episode become moot when teams had to sign up for two different flights. If someone told me “Gary and Mallory received an Express Pass,” that’s all I needed to know.   Whoever decided to design the challenges this season get my gratitude. Not [...]
