The episode started off normal enough. Blah blah, regionals. Blah blah, Sebastian is a meany-pants. Blah blah, he tries to blackmail Rachel into backing out of the competition with an poorly photoshopped image of Finn’s weenie. Why this was even an issue, I don’t know. Insults were thrown, threats were made, Shelly was bored. Then hey, Sue is pregnant. Why? How? We don’t...

Joanna Coles shows up, looking fabulous as ever. She meets with Austin and tells him that his fabric is hideous, but she knows he will make it fabulous. He’s like, “Uhh, yeah!” Next she meets with Kara, who plans on making a V-neck top with a maxi skirt. See, I was right! Totally boring. Joanna thinks it’s lacking creativity and ambition. It is, Kara. She is right....

Padma tells them that they will have to move fast and adapt to the elements. And their pantry? Well, it’s a bunch of food trapped in ice. They have to take ice picks and literally chip their food out. Because that always happens! It is an everyday occurance that chefs much chip their ingredients out of massive blocks of ice! In fact, it is so commonplace, I am surprised they are doing...
New blog post: The Bachelor: Ben Doesn't Take The... →
You know what I like about The Bachelor? Instead of beginning with “previouslies” like most shows, it gives you an extended preview of the night’s episode, showing you every important detail of what’s to come. I also like that they replay these clips before every commercial break. It’s like they believe their entire audience at home are so very stupid that they...
New blog post: Gossip Girl Talk: I Still Don't Get... →
In the past few episodes of Gossip Girl, we’ve finally gotten to know the actual Charlie Rhodes. After all that build up, I have to say I’m a little disappointed that none of my theories seemed to pan out. Oh well, at least I was right about one thing. But I still don’t understand this Charlie/Lola/Ivy situation. Like, at all…
Slate has a pretty great article about Chris Brown →
I know that awards are given out for artistic merit, not charming personality, and we can debate whether you can safely love the art and not the artist if you’re a fan of Brown’s music. But the decision to ask Brown to perform at music’s biggest event of the year is of a different sort. That’s a warm embrace from his industry and his community. You can’t shun someone you’re clapping for....

I have definitely been watching Project Runway All Stars, but I sure haven’t been posting anything about it. You know you’re a slacker when your therapist reminds you to do it. Oops. So hey, let’s have a quick recap, shall we? Poor Gordana got the boot for creating a lovely dress that was simply not fit for a pig. Then, the designers had to make clothes inspired by gelato...
Best quote from It's A Brad, Brad World this week
Brad’s boyfriend Gary: “It will be weird going to Fashion Week with Brad, because I’m used to being in control and this will be like a flip flop.”
Um.
New blog post: Top Chef Texas: Who Will Be The... →
Hey, remember Top Chef? I barely do. But apparently, it’s still a thing that is happening on my television. If I think really hard, I vaguely recall something about Pee Wee Herman, bikes and egg salad, but that might just be a nightmare I had recently. I also remember the remaining four chefs coming together to learn about the Last Chance Kitchen. Tom told them all about it with the...
