Summer's seasons

Well, we had a couple of wrap ups but as we all know, the tv universe never stops and new shows come in when old ones go out.

The Challenge: Fresh Meat had it's last challenge. First they showed the outcome of the last exile challenge. Jenn and Noor won that one over Ryan. Bye Ryan. Maybe you'll learn to get rid of the strong people when you have a chance instead of hiding behind them. The last challenge was a long one with the teams trekking all over half of British Columbia. Landon and Carley eventually won the whole thing with Landon pulling, shoving and prodding Carley all of the way.

Top Chef Masters had it's final challenge too. The food was so good and beautiful, the judges had a hard time finding things to pick on. Moonen showed he's a hypocrite by making venison shipped all the way from New Zealand for his last dish. Not only was it not fish, but it wasn't a local sustainable product either. WTF? We have all kinds of venison running all over the USA. Susar Lee made cool looking food but maybe too cool for the fuddy duddy judges. In the end, Marcus Samuelsson won which was good since he wasn't thought to be the strongest. In the end, it comes down to how good you are that day and Samuelsson blew the judges out of their seats.

So You Think You Can Dance is back. Unfortunately, only 10 new dancers were accepted which made the competition really tight. I'm not sure how they're going to do the eliminations because 10 past contestant favorites are back. Are they going to eliminate a whole couple each week? Mia Micheals is replacing Mary Murphy which is too bad because Mia has that bitchy butch thing going on that is so abrasive but then when she likes something, it's like a crocodile smile. It seems she'll like a person and smile and coo but something about her says she can't wait to tear them apart next week. Nigel Lithgow is back with his big teeth and hair like he's trying to pretend he's as young as the dancers. Whatever. We'll see how things work out this season.

Work of Art: The Next Great Artist is a new eliminations show for artists. We all know true artists are kind of those weirdos in school who lived in a world of their own. Well these people are all like that. There are a couple of people who seem normal and then they do one thing and we see the weirdness. I don't begin to understand art so the elimination was odd to me. The artists were supposed to do portraits of another artist. 2 women did art that didn't even look like a portrait. I believe in artistic license but a bunch of dots and lines isn't even art to me. The other lady did a watercolorish looking landscape from Strawberry Shortcake's mind but at least it was pretty and had color and maybe eluded to feeling. The watercolor artist was booted but the other stupid lady was bitchy and better drama for the show. I really hate when they do that. Personally, the ugliest thing to show up on the show was Sarah Jessica Parker herself. What a horseface.

America's Got Talent is back for the Summer. We're in the city auditions stage. I wish the show would show the really bad ones. They're showing some but not a lot. The only standout I've seen is Sir Poppycock who did a number from The Barber of Seville and not only sang really well, but had great stage presence too. I hate those acts that you know can only go over once but are impressive that first time. OMG, we have to sit through that again? Nick Cannon needs to be shot out of a cannon. He's somehow frenetic and boring at the same time. Howie Mandel has better taste than I thought he would and thank the gods Sharon is there to boot those people who can't stay on tune. I usually call this show America Has No Taste but we'll see what comes out of it this season.

Hell's Kitchen is back and really good. This season, they actually got people who could cook. Amazingly enough, they finished their first service. I don't think I've ever seen that before. Ramsey started out the show with the chefs cooking signature dishes and had a gross make-out scene with his wife in disguise. Ick. So far, one chef walked out after harsh verbal treatment from Ramsey and the tatooed punk looking chef on the men's team was booted for just not knowing how to cook. There it is.

Thank the gods Wipeout is back. This show is full of physical comedy and with snarky commentating on the side, it's even better. Good thing it's only an hour long cuz by the end, I've peed my pants and hurt all of my ribs from laughing so hard. Can we say Big Red Balls?

Okay, well that's enough. I know there are a lot of other shows on for the summer but I have to end this blog somewhere. See you next week. Top Chef is starting and I can't wait.
