We're back

Okay, so I thought, I'll just take a little break and all of a sudden, 2 weeks went by. Meanwhile, I did watch TV. You really think I'd miss my TV shows?

Let's start with Bachelor Pad. This show is like high school. Some people are pairing off and the rest are jealous. The dates are kind of stupid since most of the time it's 3 girls and 1 guy or 3 guys and 1 girl. At least last week, they made it a real date with just 1 choosing 1. There's a lot of attempting of ousting people and the planners seem to get voted out. The end of this show oughtta be really good if they let it go to a vote. So far, Gia, Weatherman, Wes and Chrisily are out. Elizabeth and Kovacs make me gag every time they're together. They had a kissing competition a couple of weeks ago and Gia made a big deal of having to kiss other men. I guess that means you're really not an actress. The guys couldn't figure out how the girls could tell who was who. Probably from their cologne. It's pretty much a give away when Elizabeth starts cringeing before Weatherman even starts kissing her. Suddenly the blonde bimbos are emerging. I'm starting to fast forward through their scenes since nothing intelligent seems to be said. I liked one girl finding the guy wasn't so great after he got drunk. I still can't stand the host of this franchise. What a rat faced geek. They should've just stuck with Rycroft by herself.

Money Hungry is a lower budget kind of Biggest Loser. Nobody cries but at the same time, nobody really works out and nobody really loses weight. It's kind of a white trash lazy man's Biggest Loser with the emphasis on Loser and I don't mean of weight. In the first place, each team of 2 paid in 10K to be on the show. OMG, where did they find these suckers? You don't see them working out like they should and they don't seem to eat as well either. There's one New York team that tries to be the Godfathers. "We'll look out for you if you do what we say." Whatever! Funny thing is, their cohorts have fallen by the wayside. The really lazy teams all bunched up with the cavemen looking guys and found they were outnumbering the other group. They thought they were safe, so didn't work out at all. The producers threw in a wrench and made the elimination all about weight loss. OMG, how funny! At the weigh in, some teams only lost 2 or 5 pounds. Really? Next time pee and poo before the weigh-in. Also, I don't think I've ever seen an uglier bunch of people. No butt-er faces there.

America's Got Talent is down to the final 12. What an amazing group. There's a young girl with the voice of an opera diva. Really amazing. We finally got rid of the sisters with the sob story. Prince Poppycock and Fighting Gravity are still in it. That guy who does the mountain bike balance thing is really great and shows us something even more thrilling each week. We have dancers and a really great magic act. They finally got rid of that French street performer who I thought should've stayed on the street. Bye Bye Frenchie. Gaborey Sidibe's mother is out. The nervous girl singer is out and thank the gods we never have to see Mary Ellen ever again. Meanwhile, Howie has proven he doesn't know the difference between talent and stupid entertainment. Piers may be grumpy but always seems to be right and Sharon is the mediator who keeps Piers from punching Howie in the face. What a show. So far, America has shown, this year, they do have taste.

Top Chef is winding down. They had a challenge cooking for the CIA, cooking for the Nationals baseball stadium and for NASA. Gee, all the government reference is getting nauseating. We lost Alex, Amanda and Tiffany. Alex made a veal dish that was declared a weapon. Can we say overcooked? He couldn't figure out what he did wrong. Gee, I guess he's as smart as he is handsome. Amanda made tuna tartare for the baseball stadium that had oxidized overnight. Eeek! Chef Eric Ripert admitted he wouldn't swallow it for fear of getting sick. With the NASA challenge, Angelo finally pulled his finger out after lagging for a couple of shows and won both the quickfire and the elimination. All the chefs did really well for the NASA dish so it came down to sheer luck and Tiffany's ran out. Her mussels got frozen. How the heck are you gonna freeze dry mussels? Oh well. So for the final 4, it's Kelly, Ed, Kevin and Angelo. We'll see who's learned something after their break. Some people come back refreshed and prepared and some just come back.

Project Runway has the cattiest bunch of people I've seen in a long time. 2 weeks ago, they had the group break into 2 teams of 6. Michael C. must've forgotten about those knives in his back because he chose Gretchen to be on his team and then Ivy too. Really? So one team ended up consisting of winners and the other team no winners. I knew the egos would show more with the winners and boy there was no holding them back. Gretchen kind of ran the show for team Luxe. They chose to make a line of clothes with menswear to women's wear beige. Meanwhile, the scrapper team went with military and lace. Really? beige? Ooh, exciting. In the end, the scrapper team won and Casanova finally got some taste and was declared the individual winner. Since he's respectful to everybody, they all gave him respect back and gave him his due. A. J. was ousted for his sad shirt dress. I had one in high school in the 80's but it had a lot more color. Last week, the designers took ugly bridesmaids dresses and made them into something else. They also came with the owner. Surprisingly, the designers didn't really care what the dress was. They chose depending on the lady in the dress so of course the heavier girls were left to last. Valerie and Michael D. had last choices and I really think they started the challenge with a defeated outlook. Both acted like they didn't think there was enough fabric in the dress to work with it and cover the girl. Everybody dissed Michael C. Why? Ivy has proven the green eyed monster has made her ugly inside and out. Gretchen is more humble after being called out by Tim Gunn the week before. He admonished the Luxe team for letting her bully them and blah blah blah. All I know is, I was RFLMAO cuz he said it right in front of her. She needed to be cut down a few pegs anyway. She's still making those ugly earthtone clothes. She's someone who can only design for herself. Way to have ingrown eyeballs, Gretch. So Anyway, Michael C. won for the 2nd time and Peach was ousted for her really ugly avocado green dress. Ivy and Gretchen were livid over Michael C's win. Casanova was the only one who showed any class by congratulating him. Gee.

The Great Food Truck Race went to Austin and New Orleans. The Nom Nom truck just can't be beaten. They're not only good cooks, but they're good business managers too. They're very savvy planning ahead and doing research on the city while driving there. They tend to pair up with a local business guaranteeing not only a spot to park but associated customers too. The French team lands in the bottom 2 every week, but seems to stay in the game by the skin of their teeth. I think they probably have a high price on their food. Even though they don't sell as much, they still make more profit. So the Ragin' Cajuns, the crepes truck and now the Austin Daily Press are out. I don't understand why they thought they'd do worse in the rain in New Orleans. The people are used to rain.

So that's it. Survivor and the Amazing Race should be coming back. They showed the new stars participating in Dancing With the Stars: David Hasselhoff, the Situation from Jersey, Ummm...and nobody else I wanna know. I don't think I'll watch this season. I'm sure there's a lot better things to see on TV. Also, Brooke Burke is back and I can't stand her.

Oh talk about Brooke Burke, she's hosting She's Got the Look this season. I loved that the youngest lady who thought she was all that was kicked off first. Hee hee hee. Shawn Patterson is more blunt and to the point. I think he found it didn't work to be kinder and gentler when you have a complete nutball in the mix. Remember the crazy lady who stripped her clothes off at judging last year? I love Roshumba Williams. She tells'em like it is and also doesn't beat around the bush. She also still looks really great and has a ton of personality. Tyra who? The women had to do a swimsuit shoot and were all worried. Why? They all look great! Then they had makeovers and all of a sudden, that mousey southern lawyer lady came out of her shell and just killed the next photo shoot. It was great to see.

The Emmy's came and went. Finally, Kyra Sedgewick finally won her Emmy. Jim Parsons won and Modern Family were winners too. Claire Danes elevated herself from totally ugly to just homely and won an Emmy too. Jimmy Fallon proved to be forgettable and Ricky Gervais showed why he should host every awards show.

That's it. Come back again and see what I've been watching.
