So amidst all my bitching about the auditions dragging on and on, I managed to miss an episode Tuesday night. Oops! Just so no one feels cheated, I'll be recapping both episodes in one blog. Try to contain your excitement though, because...

About a month in I still find myself totally loving "Top Model" Cycle 13. I'm not sure if the short-girls-only focus allowed them to cast differently or what, but I would argue that setting aside the height issue, this is the strongest group of...

If this was "So You Think You're a Whore," she might have had a shot, but she's just not right for this competition.

Ash got a lot of screentime from the very beginning, which immediately had me pegging him for the boot. But even more worrisome was the fact that Jen was sick - like, near-puking sick. The Quickfire was a fascinating concept: the product-placed...

Vegas Week is finally here! I was so excited to see some of my faves again, but the judges were a bit loopy with eliminations tonight. They were keeping people who deserved to be cut and vice versa.
They started off with several rounds of cuts....

Irina started right in with her diva bullshit, saying that since she's won two challenges she is obviously intimidating to the rest of the designers. She mentioned that most of them haven't won a single challenge (not true) and that most of them...

Last episode showed us just how awful Lance & Keri are as racers, as partners, and as human beings. They trucked around Vietnam, making impossibly stupid errors at almost every turn, bickering ceaselessly, and fulfilling every ugly American...

Should "Melrose Place" overcome its currently anemic ratings and survive for several more seasons (and I sincerely hope that it will), I suspect last night's episode will be looked back on as a missed opportunity. The big teaser for the...

Last week 152 dancers were cut down to 77. For the fourth choreography round, they were taught a jazz routine by Laurie Ann Gibson, who was added to the choreographer line-up last year. I personally never cared for any of her routines, and she...

Last night's "Project Runway" featured not one, but two huge guest stars, fashion icon Bob Mackie and and pop starlet Christina Aguilera. Although I loved seeing Mackie, whose glitzy work is a great inspiration for a challenge, I had some issues...

So after Zev lost his passport and he and Justin were eliminated last week despite reaching the mat first, Sam and Dan ended up getting bumped up to the pole position. I wonder if they got the prizes too; I assume they did. The teams were told...

Full disclosure: I skipped 80 percent of the audition episodes this season. I think it was a combination of burnout from S5 having just wrapped, and having too much other stuff to watch (it's on versus "Top Model"; that's like the ultimate...

Guest Judge: Rich Moonen, who is a champion of conscientious cooking. The Quickfire: the first-ever Top Chef Tag-Team Cook-Off. Knives were drawn, and nothing was on them, until it got to Jennifer, who got one with the words "first choice," and...

Following Nicole's winning sweep last episode, coming in first on both go-sees and the photo shoot, Erin made some nasty remarks about Nicole's personality, claiming that our favorite bloody eyeball sufferer has interpersonal issues. Erin...

We were down to seven designers. Doesn't it seem like ages ago since Ari and Malvin went home? Nicolas interviewed that he has to assert his point of view and focus on the finals, because right now it's "me me me." When is it ever NOT about...

I wasn't even planning to blog last night's episode of "The Amazing Race." Firstly, I assumed it would be a non-elimination leg, since we haven't had one of those since the premiere. And secondly, there's so much going on this week in TV land...

For our first studio show of the season Cat Deeley came out looking SPECTACULAR. Hair, make-up, dress, it was all working. I just love her. She introduced the judges, including Adam Shankman as the new permanent third judge. I'm mixed on that. On...

What a difference a night makes. Monday night Cat looked incredible; tonight she looked a little rough. The lipstick: oh honey, no. That fire-engine red looks ghastly on your pasty flesh. She reiterated that due to the baseball playoffs, the...

The girls came back from the last elimination to find that their house was condemned. The models have been nasty in seasons past, but these girls were apparently full-on swine. Tyra picked on them for leaving leftover eggs on the stove, and for...

Jennifer continued beating herself up over bombing in Restaurant Wars. That isn't good, I could practically feel her imploding through the screen. Meanwhile, Robin continued her self-delusion streak by arguing that she still deserves to be in the...
