The new seasons of Survivor, Amazing Race, America's Next Top Model and Project Runway are just around the bend. But before they show up, there are still a few good shows running.
Rupaul's Drag Race is turning out to be an interesting season. If Raja can pull out a little more natural personality, maybe she can win it. The quick challenge had the girls making outfits out of duct tape. It was hilarious. For some odd reason the fatties all decided to be in the same group and I think they took up enough duct tape to pave the LA freeway. Not only did they make outfits, but they had to start over after the first attempt. Oh boy! Anyway, the 2 hispanic guy/girls won with their cute workout wear. Hey, that segwayed perfectly into the next challenge. For the next challenge, the 2 girls each picked girls to make up their teams. Then they had to do a funny fitness segment. There's nothing funnier than broken english and outrageous spanish accents to make a fitness segment funny except maybe that shake weight. OMG, they really did go there. LOL! Susan Powter was the guest judge who helped give critiques to the girls during their filming of their segments. Some of the girls were really boring. For the runway, the girls had to emphasize their best asset. India Ferra must have been told her's was her skin cuz she showed a lot of it. The problem is, she's not exactly the skinniest girl in the bunch and it grossed out the judges. The girl w/ the hilarious spanish accented fitness segment and the glittery dress outshone everyone and won. She was very gracious and I think everyone likes her too cuz there were no glares from the other girls. MiMi Imfurst and India Ferra landed in the bottom. Somehow the lip synch-off turned into a WWE wrestling thing w/ Mimi giving India fireman's lift while India screamed her head off. I was RFLMAO and laughing so much, I was crying. In the end, Mimi was sent home. Yay! One fattie down and he wasn't cute as a girl or a guy.
On the crying fatties aka The Biggest Loser, the fatties all worked out together. For the temptation challenge, the fatties had 3 minutes alone surrounded by chocolates. Whoever ate the most got to switch 2 people from each team or leave the teams as they were. Y'know, I'm never surprised that Arthur chooses to eat every time. I think he doesn't give a hoot about the prize and really just wants to justify pigging out. It was so fun to watch him stuff down 35 chocolates. I love it when someone shows when they know how to do it. Oh come on. You really think they got fat by nibbling slowly? So the winner and didn't have to be revealed. The group was shocked when the green team and the pink team were switched but then the groups were one team black and the other red. I thought Q had won. Then Arthur did the dumbest thing ever. He told the group that he won and made the decision thinking the girl team would lose the least and keep him from being in the bottom of the group. Whatever. Maybe he forgot they base it on percentage of body weight. So the teams worked out together again. Then they had a kind of luxury challenge. They had to do a relay race where they had to do different tasks in each leg. The black team (ranchers) won big time cuz the guys on the red team (ridgers) couldn't figure out which dishes had the most calories. I didn't know a bowl of chili had less calories than a couple of smores. The prize was videos from home. Let the crying commence! Ick! Then came the weigh-in. The red team had impressive numbers but the black team won by a big margin. I can't believe how well the women are doing this season. The red team voted out Q and I wasn't a bit surprised. He was lazy, whiny, unpleasant and lost the least. Bye! My hero, Rulon Gardner is still on the show. Yay!
Top Chef had a fondue quickfire. The twist was, the chefs tasted all the dishes and then judged each other. Dale won w/ his fo-ndue. Hmmm...boiling broth. Dipping things in it? Sounds like soup to me. The fun part of the show was, the chefs appeared on The Jimmy Fallon show and were challenged to do one of his favorite dishes for his birthday. They did quick phone pic shots of dishes as they flashed on a screen and whatever they captured, that was their dish. It was quite cool to see that one dish was tongue. Carla did a happy dance when she got chicken pot pie. The eating group consisted of Jimmy Fallon's family and show friends and of course the judges. Anthony Bourdain was MIA this week and it just wasn't as much fun but oh well. Carla won w/ her homey chicken pot pie. Dale made a cheesesteak sandwich that turned out to be made w/ salty components that added up to a whole lot of salt. One thing I've noticed. When you cook for sensitive palates, you don't want to over do the salt. Tiffany made a chicken and dumpling dish that wasn't chicken and dumplings. Although, it did have chicken in it. Americans hate it when foreigners tell them what a hamburger should be. Instead of asking all the Americans around him how to make a good burger, he moaned, "Burgers aren't my thing. I don't even know how to make one." Then proceeded to make a meatball sandwich w/ cheese on the side. Not good. Antonia had no experience eating much less cooking tongue but she asked for advice and came out in the top 3. So in the end, Fabio was sent home. Sigh, I'll miss his accent and cute Italian self.
A new show I've forgotten to blog about is Face Off. It's a competition for media make-up artists. I'm not talking cosmetics either. These guys and gals are geniuses w/ prosthetics, paint and make-up. They've had to make animal human hybrids, do a person in full body makeup to fit into a background and this week they had to work in pairs to make an alien for the brand new discovered M class planet. They showed a short video on what the planet was like. This show is educational too. Coooooool!!! The 2 names I do know on the show are Colin and Frank. One chick is so into Colin, she speaks his name about every 3 minutes. Everybody moans and complains about Frank and his laziness. Personally, I think Frank was over the competition after week 1. In the end, Colin's team won w/ the female alien in a long robe. That was pretty smart since the robe covered most of the body and all they had to concentrate on was the head and hands. They were able to do intricate work and it looked great. I always wonder why people want to do a lot of stuff in a short amount of time. Frank forgot this wasn't the full body paint challenge and he and his unfortunate partner were declared the worst. Frank was sent home and let the people know he was very happy about it. It's so unfair that he didn't bow out earlier and let someone else have a chance. What a dumbass.
Worst Cooks in America was down to 4. It's the show before the finale. First, they taught the cooks how to flambe. It was amazing how much confidence the cooks gained by learning to cook w/ big flames. Then the family members were brought in. Kelsey and her husband were so cute together. Yep, Georg's wife looks like a guy. Anyway, the cooks were told they were to make a dish the family member wanted. Kelsey made venison. Georg made fish. Carlos made a Thai dish and Joshie made a sweet chicken dish. It was impressive that all the cooks did really well. I LOL when Kelsey's husband said he was scared to eat her food. No wonder. She gave him food poisoning twice and they've only been married a year. I'd be terrified. In the end, Kelsey and Carlos weren't as good as the Georg and Joshie. So for the finale, it's Joshie or Georg to win it all. I can't wait cuz they've really come far and this year, these people are for real.
Well, that's about all for this week. Stay tuned.
