Keeping it real

I know you've all been on pins and needles waiting to find out what I think of the reality shows I've been watching this summer, so I will torture you no more. I shall now give you my run down of the reality shows I keep up with.

Next Food Network Star:
What I like about this show because it puts the contestants, who must have some cooking talent to be on there in the first place, through their paces. What I don't like about this show is that they have some of the Food Network people who I hate, that dude with the spiky bleached hair and Paula Deen, on there as well. Thankfully fat bleached hair guy and Paula 'The Queen of Fat' Deen aren't on there every week.

I hate all the male contestant they've got on this go round. I especially hate the fat gay guy with the stupid beard who wears the dumb looking hat all the time. I don't hate him because he's gay, I hate him because he makes my skin crawl and because I cringe when he opens his mouth. I see a public access cooking/gay sex tips show in his future, so if you live in the New York metro area look for that soon.

I think this gal is going to win it all:
And this gal is going to get a Food Network show as well:They are both too good not to have a show of some kind on the Food Network.

The Fashion Show:
I tried to like it but I absolutely hate it. I like Isaac Mizrahi. I love his co host Kelly Rowland, and for my money she was the real hottie of Destiny's Child. And I liked Project Runway. But for some reason I'd rather be forced to take long slow tepid showers with the late Captain Kangaroo, Carol Channing, and Osama Bin Laden all at the same time than watch that show. Seriously, I hate it more than I hate being beaten in the kidneys with sacks of quarters.

Top Chef Masters:
I like it despite the fact that I hate most all of the food critics on there and I think the Asian gal they got to host it is kind of creepy. What I like is seeing big time chefs being put through the same kinds of challenges that the usual chefs go through. I think I'll like it even more when they finish all these preliminary rounds and they get into the usual competition that I've come to know and love from Top Chef.


I'm looking forward to the new Anthony Bourdain shows coming up on the Travel Channel later this month, because honestly, how many times can they run shows with Samantha Brown and that fat bald guy who eats all sort of animal scrotums and asses before we blow our brains out? And maybe, just maybe, Lifetime will actually air Project Runway sometime this summer.
