It’s a busy night for the celebrities as they all vie for only three spots in the finals. The contestants had to dance to three songs including the Relay, which was last seen during Season 9. Sadly this probably means that the Salsa won’t be seen this season since the contestants are finishing either the [...]

I know this is a few days old, but here’s my update for my pin collection. Hopefully you all like.

[Food Network Star - Season 7 Episode 4] Justin D. felt like a failure because his confidence wasn’t showing after the last few weeks. The contestants walked in to Melissa, winner of season five. She announced that the Camera Challenge was to make a small appetizer with a Kellogg’s product as a main ingredient. Each [...]

Expedition Impossible Recap: Sun! Sand! Sahara! In the premiere episode of Expedition Impossible we meet the 13 teams of three (39 people?!) as they journey through the Moroccan desert in a quest to win $150,000 and some cars. There will be camels and they are cranky. Morocco. Thirteen teams of three were driven in their [...]

The auditions on America’s Got Talent continued to hobble along last night, this time in New York City, where the freaks were out in full force. Just imagine how paranoid Howie must have really been paranoid about germs, as he emerged from a zorb. That was one of the highlights of an otherwise mediocre evening… [...]

Following a shocking non-elimination last week, the pressure increased for the 20 remaining contestants last night. Along with Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy, Debbie Reynolds sat in on the So You Think You Can Dance panel. Unfortunately, she thought everything was amazing and wanted to bring all the dancers to her home for some unknown [...]

America’s Got Talent remained Atlanta for night two of auditions yesterday, as the features of the best and some of the oddest of performers. Let’s go over the children, bands and cavalcade of dance crews that hit the stage… The Real Talent Hershae Chocolatae – With the robe and wig Hershae was donning, I was [...]

['Platinum Hit' - Season 1 Episode 3] The contestants wake up to a new challenge; Nick was still depressed that Karen was eliminated instead of Melissa. Jackie wanted to fight back from her appearance in the bottom three last week. The contestants arrived in the studio for their Hook Challenge. Jewel arrived in a leather [...]

[Next Food Network Star – Season 7 Episode 3] Chris woke up in hopes that the new day of challenges would be better for him. He tried to get everyone in his room excited but Justin B. wanted him to be quiet. After last week’s challenge, Penny was over even trying to make friends with [...]

Sorry guys, busy weekend and another busy week. Here are both of my posts for TAR squished into one post: ‘The Amazing Race’ – “You Don’t Get Paid Unless You Win (Varanasi, India)” ['The Amazing Race' – Season 18 Episode 7] Kolkata, India. After being in first place last leg, Gary & Mallory had a [...]

Sorry for the delays in all these links. It’s busy season… This week, the celebrities got to pick their own music so even the non-actors had the ability to channel their emotions. It probably gave the non-actor/musicians a small opportunity to match the level of the celebrities with the natural ability to emote. Interestingly, most [...]

After a recap show that showed what felt like four hours of footage could have been squished into one hour, the elimination episode began. I’ll admit that DANCING WITH THE STARS continues to have the same exact format for eliminations where there is a guest singer, some professional dances, random celeb/pro banter, and every two [...]

With eliminations this week, the contestants tried their best to increase their scores and most of them got into a groove. Romeo stopped complaining about looking feminine and instead went the polar opposite, constantly flirting. Even Wendy managed to bring some personality out despite her obvious dancing difficulties. But I really dislike the fact that [...]

I’d normally be really upset with a heavy product placement-based Amazing Race episode, especially those episodes where the Travelocity gnome was just carried around with no real purpose. This episode was an exception, not only did the India-China tea trade make sense; it created a deceptively easy Roadblock. The roadblock was not a pure needle [...]

[Undercover Boss - Season 2 Episode 19] With 860 employees and 34 states, Synagro is America’s largest waste-treatment company. It is led by President and CEO Bill Massa. The company’s main goal is waste-water treatment (aka toilet water). Massa has been the president for only one year. Bill explains that they turn the waste water [...]

[The Amazing Race - Season 18 Episode 6] The Racers started the leg in Kunming, China at the Green Lake Park. Their first clue was to go to a tea tasting at Jin Fu Yi Zhan and receive a brick of tea and their next clue. Jet discussed how the cowboys’ wives were taking care [...]

Wasn’t it really unfair that during the America’s Next Top Model CoverGirl challenge one of the teams was given the task of defining “Bold and Colorful Eyes” when the other two had “Night” and “Day?” There were several words that I would have accepted: “Sunday Brunch,” “9 to 5,” or even “Day/Formal” to counteract the [...]

Brittani Current Ranking: 1 Previous Ranking: 3 Although she didn’t get the first call-out by Tyra, Brittani has provided the most consistency of all the girls. Though I’m not a fan of her anti-Alexandria position, she still went through and modeled really well. Read the full article at RTVC!

[Top Chef - Season 8 Episode 15] The chefs all talked about how hard Tiffany fought to be in the competition. Richard was not upset about Mike having a winning streak and continued to emphasize how he had so many wins. Antonia was a bit upset that Richard and Mike have already counted her out; [...]

This season of Dancing with the Stars is missing something: the big tabloid/political figure that everyone would be talking about. Last season had Bristol Palin and seasons back it was Kate Gosselin causing all the drama. I have that feeling that Dancing with the Stars was really banking on Christine O’Donnell, but she backed out. [...]

Don’t you hate it when the preview for The Amazing Race gives away plotlines? I would have been very surprised about Kent & Vyxsin’s successes if we didn’t see that clip where they were racing with Jamie & Cara towards the U-Turn when I was watching 60 Minutes. This episode made me miss the old [...]

[Undercover Boss - Season 2 Episode 18] This episode followed MGM Grand COO and President Scott Sibella. He worked his way up from the Golden Nugget and was in charge of the Mirage until he got the president position he’s been in. He understood that there was such a large scale business that it would [...]

[The Amazing Race - Season 18 Episode 5] When we last left our teams, Kent & Vyxsin couldn’t find their fanny pack; the grey flashback reminded us that it was at the gondola. Phil checked in Zev & Justin at eighth place and the two read the clue to take a train back to Kunming [...]

Jaclyn Current Ranking: 1 Previous Ranking: 2 She has the charm and she pops her booty when Tyra tells her to. It’s the perfect combination: being nice helps Jaclyn get a very positive edit, but it also shows that she’s willing to do anything to win the competition. Jaclyn needs to continue progressing her walk, [...]

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. Tiffany was disappointed her friend was gone because they supported each other throughout the season. Antonia warned Richard & Mike that the contestants needed to up their game; she was worried [...]
