Deja View

Okay, another week has gone by.

Hell's Kitchen missed another week and I'm not sure why. We do watch it. I miss the cursing while cooking.

Dancing w/ the non-Stars did it's thing and the voters did their thing. I hear Bristol Palin wasn't all that good but was saved yet again. Who's voting for her? The basketball star w/ his partner Cheryl was voted out. All I care is, Karina is gone. I'm guessing the voters are actually voting for the pros again. That's another reason why I quit watching. I do watch Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday nights to see who's been booted but some stars refuse to do his show too. Yeah, I'm referring to Doherty and Bolton.

I did watch one episode of the crying fatties aka Biggest Loser. They had one challenge, they're not in pairs and they're working out. This time, they went to Camp Pendleton and lived w/ the Marines for a few days. Most times, living as a Marine really kicks peoples' butts and they can't help but get in shape. I'm thinking the Sargeants were a little easy on the fatties cuz they all came back either not having lost much weight or gaining. Really? I loved the excuses. We couldn't watch our diet, we couldn't rest well, blah blah blah. Okay. First, you don't have to eat everything that's on your plate and if you weren't sleeping, then you should've been running in place. No wonder the fatties always get fat again. They have no self discipline. I wonder if that might be their basic fatty problem. It's biggest loser alright, emphasis on loser. This show needs to get rid of Bob and Jillian. I'm sick to death of them and I can't be the only one. Anyway, once again, someone who thought they were safe was booted right out. Bye!

Survivor is getting downright sickening. There is absolutely no redeeming quality in anybody including Jeff Probst. The teams merged into one big fat tribe and they called themselves Libertad. They should've named themselves Muy Malas. Anyway, life isn't that sweet w/ everybody conniving w/ each other. Nyonkas helping herself to the tribe's food crate and thinks nobody knows but what's her face sees her. Everyone is out to get Elina but she thinks everybody from Espada is one big happy family and tries to rally them. How very naive of her. Nyonka's trying to win a final vote by befriending Elina and shows her the loot from the food crate and we get to watch the 2 chow down on the fruit together. The immunity challenge is a stamina challenge to see who can hold a stick between to hinge links the longest. Tough old Jane wins over everybody even though there was going to be a woman and a man winning. Fabio wins his immunity and actually makes it look like a day at the park. Finally, Nyonka is brought forth to admit her sins to the tribe and she tries to explain away her stealing and proves how dumb the tribe is. They believe she took the stuff to preserve it. Really? She's probably smart enough to just do her spouting in front of the camera only. She does realize she has to return to the real world who's been watching her, doesn't she? Anyway, Marty acts desperate. Skinny guy who made the deal w/ Marty to get the HII wants to stay in his good graces and convinces his group to preserve Marty this one time. I love the way everybody plans for the final tribal by being conniving. At tribal, Marty rails on Jane again. Probst, as usual, asks and says the dumbest inane stuff. Elina is voted out. It's obvious Nyonka voted for her so that was a wasted fake friendship. God, I hate these people.

Top Chef: Just Desserts had a challenge made for pastry chefs. The chefs had to make an edible bouquet. I thought someone would do a fruit bouquet since they're so popular these days but nobody did. What? They don't know how to make roses out of beets and radishes or tulips out of carrots? I'm guessing these people have never been on a cruise ship before. Yigit tried to make vases out of isomalt. I don't know why he was surprised they broke when Morgan breathed on them. In the end, Morgan did some amazing sugar work and won. I agree with Johnny Iuzzini. I liked Eric's giant cupcake covered with buttercream flowers. It looked like a fat bride's bouquet. Not fat bride; fat bouquet. The elimination challenge was to make tea pastries w/ celeb couples as inspiration. These chefs were all of one track mind. They never said the couples had to be real or alive. You never heard of Romeo and Juliet or Adam and Eve? Anyway, I was waiting for one of the gay guys to come up w/ a gay couple but it didn't happen. So they go to the store to shop for ingredients and when they return to the kitchen, they find all the chocolate is missing from the pantry. Never assume! 3 of the guys were counting on using the chocolate and it really messed up their game. Eric couldn't recover and Yigit kind of went into la la land. I loved that Danielle used Conan Obrien and Andy Richter as her couple. They never said the couples had to be sexual based. Zach won w/ his Julie Andrews and Blake Edwards dainty pastries. Eric came up short w/ his shortbread and I was kind of glad cuz he used Oprah as his couple and I can't stand her. I was, however, sorry to see Eric go home.

On The Apprentice, the teams were mixed up. First they showed Stephanie fighting it out w/ one of the guys. I think Anan. Whatta ya know? They end up on the same team. The teams were to make a print ad for Trump's clothing line. Boy! This show really is all about him huh? David and that blonde quiet chick take the managing jobs. David decides he's the only one who knows fashion. He takes an instant liking to one of the male models and goes blind and deaf. The rest of the team gives up and gives in to David. On the other team, they get stuck with irresponsible models who don't show up. Instead of calling the agency and telling them nobody's getting paid, they decide to do the modeling themselves. I have to say, Stuart looks good in the bedroom shot. In the end, David's team loses and David is sent home. Yay! What a freakin' nutball. The most boring part of the show is the meeting of the winning project manager w/ the CEO of a company. It might be a great prize for the contestants but for the audience, it's a real snoozer and we're glad we have DVRs.

The Next Iron Chef contestants are in Las Vegas. Their assignment is to cook a Vegas buffet. Really? All by themselves? I felt sorry for them as they ran like crazy around an unfamiliar kitchen. Everybody thinks Canora is on the bottom including Canora but he wins. The chefs are told there will be 2 people going home but as it turned out, Caswell was the only chef to have a sucky buffet. I still can't stand Arpaia as a judge. She's nobody and she's kind of stupid. Who eats an obvious banana peel anyway? That English guy has a weird palate and looks like he's been eating lemons all day. Alton Brown needs to eat a meal. He looks like he's been vacationing in Somalia.

Finally, America's Next Top Model did their commercial. OMG, what a disaster. In the first place, you don't put tall people on roller skates. They have a high center of gravity and tend to fall over easily. Poor Ann, when she hit the pavement, I almost heard bones crunching. She took it well but was very awkward and dead in front of the camera. Surprisingly, she didn't go home. Liz, last week's winner was sent home. I have always felt Tyra picks the winner the first day of meeting the models. I think it's going to be Ann and the rest of the girls are just on for the drama. We'll see.

Well, that's all for now. I'd comment on I Love Money, but I'm not sure I'm keeping up w/ the episodes. See you all next time!
