People are sooooo stupid.

This week on TV was more fun with the real shows than the reality shows; at least in most cases.

Rupaul's Drag Race was down to the last 4. From the banter in the makeup room, it seems Raven is the only realist in the group. First the girls had to make themselves look unique with the same basic black dress in only a half an hour. Panic ensued cuz these guys take a couple of hours to make themselves look like girls. Most of the guys said, "Screw it." and just worked on the clothes and wig. Jujubee was amazing and did the whole makeup and padding but still didn't win. Huh? All the other guys proved they're really ugly without the makeup. Tyra won that mini challenge and had to direct the production of the Diva Awards. For someone who really doesn't play well with others, this was not a fun production for anybody. So the girls did kitchy dancing and lip synching and in the end, Tatiana was sent home. Bye. Sorry, if it weren't Tyra Sanchez, then it had to be you and it's never Tyra Sanchez. I can't stand that guy. Not only does he have a stupid superiority complex, but he's annoying as hell and always looks like he's smelling dooky. Whatever.

Dancing with the non-Stars wasn't worth watching the actual dancing, so I only tuned in to see who got booted off. I don't understand why there's so much promoting of music stars but at least they're showing the pros dancing to it. I was glad to see Pamela Anderson started to take the competition seriously and showed she could dance. Of course she's good at the Rumba, isn't it basically sex moves standing upright? Schaudenfreude kicked in while watching Scherzinger boo hoo about being told she wasn't that great. Guess what chicky, you're not. The judges threw Kate a bone and told her she didn't suck too much. As a person, she sucks really bad. So in the end, Aiden Turner was sent home. Whatever. Nobody cares again. On Jimmy Kimmel, he was such a non-star, Jimmy couldn't think of anything cutting to say so he just joked around with Edyta. When is Edyta going to have the popular person?

Top Chef Masters had only 1 well known chef this week: Marcus Samuelson. He's gorgeous but who knew he was arrogant and condescending? The chefs had to first make gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. Umm...toasting a baguette isn't a grilled cheese. The producers made Kelly eat so she judged the quickfire and that lady who talked about her kids all of the time, won it. Then the elimination challenge; the chefs had to cook soul food. I thought this was hilarious considering most of the chefs were foreign and the only American was so white she practically blended in with the walls. Marcus Samuelson may look black, but he's white. The Hispanic lady forgot her main dish back at the kitchen and wasted a lot of time retrieving it. Most of the other chefs tried to help and ended up burning her Yucca. You guys ever heard of a timer? The judges were confusingly nice but in the end, the Hispanic lady won for keeping it simple. She had to. She didn't have time to over do anything. Ironically, Samuelson was the only person who didn't try to help anybody and he came in second but goes on to the main winners round.

RW/RR challenge Fresh Meat isn't so fresh. The dumb young'uns are even more stupid this season. It seems everybody knows Wes and Kenny are the 2 kingpins in the game. Okay. I like that the rookies aren't being influenced by their veteran partners and it's ticking Paula off. Good. Miss horse face needs to know she's not all that. I notice there's only one big game per show. What happened to the prize challenges? Anyway, the teams had to each take turns holding up a heavy chest under water. That dumb blonde girl proved she's not as much a head of lettuce as we thought cuz she helped Landon win. Somehow, Wes got the rookies to own their vote and Kenny and his partner were sent to the elimination challenge. What people don't know is, Kenny's not as dumb as he looks either. So tatooed goth girl, Sarah, and her partner were also sent to do the elimination challenge and lost. Her partner is as dumb as he looks. Next time Sarah, don't pick a bulked up meathead.

On the crying fatties, AKA Biggest Loser, the fatties were lectured by Susie Orman. Aren't they getting enough abuse from having Bob and Jillian screaming at them every week? Last season's winner, Danny, made his appearance; per his contract. The best part of the show was seeing the players roll around and play in the mud and then drag Bob and Jillian into the melee. It was hilarious! Victoria got her deep psychological session with Jillian; ick and boring. We know what made these people fat. They use food to get over their problems. The problems aren't anything anyone else hasn't experienced so the whole things is pretty sickening. In the end, Ashley is proving she's out to boot the skinnier women and Drea, her friend, was sent home. Luckily, Drea had won a new car in the challenge earlier in the show.

Survivor is proving Russell and Parvati are the only people who have retained their brain cells. The Villains won the luxury challenge that was all about selling Outback Steakhouse. Saying the name 100 times in 10 minutes does not help. It's just plain freakin' annoying. Parvati got the clue to the hidden immunity idol in her napkin and wisely didn't share it with anyone but her BFF; the chick with the fake boobs and the overbite. What am I talking about? They both have huge overbites. The Heroes thought there was an all girl alliance in the Villains tribe and chose to poke their nose where it didn't belong. Now we have to acknowledge, these Heroes never heard of Russell before they met on this show because it was filmed before the finale of the last season and filmed while the last season aired. Nobody has a clue that Russell is great at this game but just looks dumb and innocent. Oh boy, so JT surreptitiously passes his immunity idol to Russell during the elimination challenge. It was a relay swimming and rope unwinding race with an easy puzzle at the end. The Heroes won of course. Russell didn't use the immunity idol, of course, and neither did Parvati. The Villains proved they're not stupid and booted Courtney who always gets blown about by the wind during the challenges. I'm glad to see the producers are finally showing how feisty Sandra is. She has that Puerta Rican fire and the accent to go with it. I love it and I hope she uses Russell to wipe her ass in the end.

Tyra Banks has proved she's running out of ideas. On America's Next Top Model, the girls... uhhh...oh who cares? The photo shoot consisted of the girls posing as New York people on the subway; as opposed to people in Times Square or in the garment district. Whatever. Alaysia saved herself by crying again. Angelea won best picture which is strange since she looks older than Tyra. Another boring girl went home and nobody noticed. Tyra wore a jumpsuit that looked like something I used to own in the 80's with those hammertime pants. Snore...

Project Runway did that episode with Tim Gunn visiting the designers at their homes. I personally, hate this part of each season. Just bring out the damn runway. Mila proved she is Cruella DeVille with her own dalmation running around her house. Everything in her world is black and white; even her clothes. Okay so after all the blather, the last 4 designers returned to New York. Mila and Jay had to show 3 of their looks each and somehow, Mila won the 3rd place at fashion week. What? The judges raved about Jays innovation and cool designs. Oh whatever. I just need to keep the dramamine handy cuz Mila's going to be on the very last show too. I wonder if all of the world is nauseated by her? I had to read Tim Gunn's blog to understand what the hell went on. There was way too much editing on this show. On Models of the Runway the 3 finalists and their models had dinner together and I loved that the guys told Mila they didn't like her. Oh hello Mila, nobody likes you except your mirror image bitch/model Brandise.

The Amazing Race wasn't shown to make way for those stupid country artists getting their awards. Whatever. They should rename the ACMAs the singing rednecks. If they gave out prizes for shucking corn, spitting chaw and doing hoe downs, maybe I'd be interested.

Celebrity Apprentice is getting really old with all the concept challenges. When are they going to unroll the rolodexes and sell stuff again? First, though, they had to show Curtis Stone giving his winnings to his charity. For once, there were no kids in sight. Yay! This time the teams had to make-over up and coming singing artists. Okay. Could they pick 2 more boring people? Goldberg took the PM role even though he doesn't know anything about music or making anyone over. Cindy Lauper was the boss of the women and took it literally. Sharon finally crawled out of her sickbed and we were all glad. Goldberg promptly delegated all the work to Brett Michaels. Man is that guy talkative. Maria Kanellis and Holly Robinson Peete were pissed off that Cindy didn't take them seriously. Come on ladies. You may be able to sing, but you obviously didn't become stars with it. There's more to being a music star than singing so just step back and say, "Yes Ma'am." to Cindy Lauper. My favorite bit of the show? When Trace Adkins told Sharon Osbourne he admired her for working with such a difficult man: Piers Morgan. I fell on the floor laughing at that one. The women won cuz Brett tried to make his country star look like a rocker. He was fixated on making him wear a necklace and it didn't work. Ohh...it was a make-better; not a make-over challenge. In the end, Goldberg was fired. Too bad cuz he didn't make any money for his charity.

I was glad to see the regular shows actually showed new episodes. The Big Bang Theory brought back Wil Wheaton and it was totally hilarious. Seeing Sheldon boil inside with rage just cracks me up too much. The Middle was funny with a real life problem; no money to pay all the bills. Three and Half Men needs to dump that Chelsea character. She ruins Charley's mojo and is homely to boot. The only thing is, if they get rid of her, then they have to let go her father and his boyfriend brilliantly played by Stacey Keach and John Amos. Those 2 guys should have a show of their own.

Okay, that's enough. I was disappointed that Law & Order was a re-run but Criminal Intent was really good. I hear F. Murray Abraham is going to make an appearance and I'm so totally in awe. I can't wait.

See ya next week fellow TV junkies.
