Thank God It's Almost Xmas!

The shows are pretty much wrapping up their season because they know that they'll have to take a long break due to Xmas shows and New Year's shows and stuff. They're afraid viewers won't remember them.

The Fashion Show missed this week. I'm not sure why cuz there's no sports on Bravo unless you count the pulling of hair and flipping of tables done by those stupid housewives.

Survivor players were in shock after the girls quit the game. There was a huge boring scene w/ the people sitting around their campfire contemplating their next stupid move. God I hate these people. So now Sash knows he's the swing vote. I don't know why he's smiling so much. Most of the time the swing vote guy is voted out since nobody trusts him. For the luxury challenge, the players had to do a series of rehashed things. Long story short; Chase won. He had previously promised Sash he'd take him on the prize if he won. So who did he pick? Holly and Jane; Doh! Something tells me Sash made some stupid promise like, "I'll never write your name down." to Chase. The luxury prize was a shower, food and pampering. Not necessarily in that order. For some odd reason, I always hate to see people eat when they're all muddy and dirty. I guess I'd better never go to a 3rd world country. Back at camp, the guys are trying to make a game plan and doing a poor job of it. The immunity challenge consists of unwrapping a rope from a giant log while being tied to the rope at the same time. Then the top 3 finishers had to do a coins in piles puzzle. Y'know, like those connected bricks. When the 3 were Benry, Fabio and Sash, I expected it to take all day but w/ some clever editing, Sash won. Just once, I'd like the players to yell, "Shut the F___ up!" to Probst giving play by play on the sidelines. Who can think w/ that dumbass shouting every second? Okay, so back at camp, everybody is congregating in different small groups. It's obvious, the guys, except for Chase, are willing to vote for anybody. Confucious say, "Those who try to stay in the middle of the road eventually get run over." At tribal council, I totally LOL when Probst announced nayhonker and kelly as "the quitters". Way to shove it in their faces Probst. For once, I like you this season. There was a lot of stupid blah blah blah at tribal and Benry was booted. And another dumb survivor bites the dust.

Top Chef: All Stars had a Museum of Natural History theme. First the chefs had to make a paper bag midnight snack for kids who were going to do an overnighter at the museum. Joe Jonas appeared to lend some cuteness to the show. The chefs pretty much used up all the sugar for their snacks. I don't understand why nobody made party mix or popcorn balls or something crunchy like that. Not all kids like sugar. Anyway, it was determined Tiffany F. and Spike made the best snacks but the job wasn't done. Then they did a schoolyard pick to choose teams to make their snacks so the kids could decide which they liked between the 2. I still don't understand how you cook marshmallow w/ liquid nitrogen. Hmmmm... At the museum, the kids went berzerk w/ all the sugar but they were still able to decide that Tiffany's snack ruled the day. Then for the elimination challenge, Chef Colicchio told Tiff and Spike that the teams would cook dishes w/ ingredients that a brontosaurus or a tyrranosaurus would eat. In other words, either all vegetarian or all carnivorous. Tiffany got first choice and chose tyrannosaurus. I thought that was a bad decision because only meat, eggs and cheese is very limiting but it was to be breakfast so maybe not that bad. Whereas, w/ vegetarian, you can make hot cereals, cold cereals, pancakes, biscuits, nutbutters, compotes and salads. Anyway, obviously, Tiffany didn't know the meaning of carnivore nor what a tyrannosaurus ate. Geez. I thought for sure someone would fry up pigskin for a crunchy crust thing. But then again, the chefs only got 45 minutes of sleep so probably weren't thinking so well. It was interesting that Tiffany's team consisted of all women except one guy (Dale the nice one) and Spike's was all male except one woman (Carla). Jamie cut her finger a little bit and went to hospital to get 2 stitches. Whatever. In the end, Tiff's team had only 1 good dish out of 4 and Spike's had only 1 bad dish out of 4. I found it really interesting that Marcel, Richard and Angelo did one dish together. Wow! Talk about too many cooks, and the best ones too. In the end Spike's team won and Marcel, Angelo and Richard's fruit salad thing was deemed the best. In front of the judges, Jennifer came out fighting but no matter how much she loved her dish and thought it was seasoned perfectly, the judges begged to differ and she was booted. Personally, I thought Jamie should've been booted since she didn't hardly do anything. Jen didn't take it well. I guess when you're called an allstar, your ego gets wayyyyy bigger.

Hell's Kitchen had a double elimination. First the chefs had to do a fusion dish. They started by choosing 2 flags randomly. One pairing didn't sound so bad together: Greek and Italian. But the other's were hilarious: French and Indian, Thai and something white and Mexican and Chinese. Jillian pulled her finger out and won the taste test by fusion cuisine judges. She was treated to dinner at Spago w/ her family. Oh boy! What kind of putz faced idiots are these people who are satisfied w/ that? Like she can't have dinner w/ her family everyday of the week. Not only that, I hate eating w/ children at the table. May as well have monkeys flinging poop. So at dinner service, it was the time for the chefs to work the pass. They got their opportunity to yell at their fellow chefs and for Ramsey to try to pull a fast one on them. Russell was the only chef to notice the intentional mistake. I loved Chef Scott saying, "Really? Those aren't walnuts?" Oh puh-leeze. I LOL at that one. You're no actor Scott. Trevor did notice the fish wasn't right but not until Ramsay pointed it out first. So on to the ending. Trevor was booted and Jillian was sent home to eat dinner w/ her family for the rest of her life. But she did get to keep her coat. I hope Nona wins the show.

The Challenge: Cutthroat had it's last challenge. We saw that nobody really beat CT last week but that blonde gay guy from the red team lasted longer than Johnny bananas so bananas skidded home. Both girls beat Tina but Tori won in a shorter time so Teresa was sent home. So on to the challenge. Blue team of 3 approached Sara and Laurel to throw the challenge so they would win and not have to go to the gulag. The challenge turned out to be a king of the hill kind of game w/ the girls going first. Laurel was being a little obvious in trying to be lame. She's like an amazon towering over everybody and just standing back shifting her weight from side to side. Meanwhile, Tori was mobbed first and the beauty queen ended up off the hill and w/ a bloody nose. hee hee hee. Anyway, Laurel couldn't seem lame to her team because she knows she doesn't have the majority on her side. Sara seems to be the coattail rider this season. In the end, the grey girls won. Then the guys went up and poor Derek had no chance but boy he gave it a good try. In the end, Brad won. Then one person from the grey team and one from the red team had to go against each other. Abe tromped Brad so Grey won the day. There was a lot of drama from Paula when Dumbar voted her into the gulag. Your turn girl. Suck it up! That blonde gay guy was voted in again. On the blue team Derek was the shoe in since he's the only guy left and Emily was voted in. I guess Jen is the coattail rider on that team. Gee, and I thought lezbos were supposed to be tough. So we'll see who wins their gulag and which team will win the whole thing.

The Apprentice final 2 finished their tasks. I though Brandy's golf tournament was kind of disorganized and they had really dumb prizes that the winners didn't even take w/ them. Instead of a whole set of golf clubs valued at $500, why not have one club worth $500? Anyway, I wasn't too impressed w/ the celeb dinner being a buffet thing. Really? Rich people like to be served and not stand in line for food. Poor Kathy Griffin truly seemed like a D list celebrity. I wondered how long Liza Minelli's hip would hold out. So anyway, I have to say, this was the most anticlimactic boring ending I've ever seen in the history of the Apprentice. Usually, when the winner is announced, the lights come up and the wall comes down to show the boardroom is a podium set, all the contestants are there and friends and family w/ a large audience are there to congratulate the winner. Then the winner gets to choose their job and then drive off in a new car. Was there any of that? Nope, not a bit. Trump said, "Clint you're fired and Brandy you're hired." Then Clint went off on the elevator while Brandy skipped to the apartment to be greeted by the 6 people from the 2 teams. Wow! Boring! But then again, it's as much as Brandy deserved. Boring ending for a boring person. Hello world! Trump just added a blonde bimbo to his employee list.

The Cake Boss has a baking competition he's putting on. It's kind of fun. I swear, I've seen these people somewhere before. So the first task was to make a signature dessert. I learned baking takes a long time so in the time crunch, they didn't do too well. I also learned when a person says, "I could really use a glass of milk." while tasting a cake; it's not a good thing. So that mafioso guy won and that gay guy was in tears. For the elimination, the chefs had to make a cake for any kind of celebration. The chinese lady made one hot mess of a gold and red cake. Her fortune cookie looked like a placenta. Ew. This time the gay guy had enough time and won w/ his sweet 16 cake. The mafioso guy made the worst cake but had immunity. I love Buddy's sister. She's blunt and doesn't smile. The black lady who made the sheet cake was sent home. Yeah, if you're going to try to be impressive as a cake maker, don't do a sheet cake.

The Amazing Race had it's finale and it was terrific! The teams went back to the USA. I love when you're not really rooting for someone to win but for someone not to win. I didn't care who won, I just didn't want Jill and Thomas to win. They're snobby and think they're all that. He's an ass and she's as boring as Kansas. When the teams landed in Long Beach, California, Jill and Thomas happened to get a cabbie who didn't speak very good english. Let the hilarity ensue. First the teams had to do a bunjee jump off of a pier crane. Then they had to ID the pitstop greeters on a huge screen. I loved Bob Eubanks greeting everyone. He really does have a ton of charisma. Nat and Kat hit all the tasks first. Brook and Clair just about turned themselves inside out w/ excitement when they met Eubanks and when they said, "We're your biggest fans!" he replied, "And I'm your's." Yeah, right. I could tell he didn't know those girls from Eve. Way to give a pat answer Bob! Anyway, while Jill and Thomas tried to find a computer to do a google search, Nat and Kat hit the finish mat followed by Brook and Clair. Yay! It was the first all girl team to win! Then they showed a preview of next season. OMG, I saw the globetrotters and Jet and Cord. I also saw a lot of this season's ousted teams. Oh yay. Really? We have to endure another season w/ that deaf dude and his hot headed mother? Yeesh. Well, I guess I'll tune in.

So that's it. I'd like to know why nobody has come up w/ an original Christmas tv show. They're just re-running all the old classics. Oh well. Next week should be really short. C U then people!!!
